    All four of us went to dinner before seeing a show at Playhouse Square. The service was top shelf and the food was excellent. We were eating off each other’s plate because it ALL looked so good. 😊 our waitress was beyond impressive; in fact the whole staff was in excellent form. This is our 8th or 10th visit this year and they never disappoint. Bravo 👏!

    One of the peak dining experiences for us anywhere. The service was extraordinary. Our waiter Danny could not have been more attentive to our requests and even anticipated some elements that enhanced the experience. The quality of the food and the preparation was world class. I had the Bronzino cooked to perfection and accompanied by a wonderfully complex mixture of vegetables. My wife had gnocchi that was light and delicious. The chef came to the table to make sure we were happy with the dishes. The staff even served us a surprise Anniversary treat. If you know the reputation of Edwins on Shaker Square, you know the brand stands for excellence in food and service. Edwins Too continues this tradition in a more informal setting with a comfortable price point. This is an ideal spot for a celebratory meal as well as for a pleasant night out. My recommendation is to Run, not Walk to Edwins Too.
