    The Valentines Day dinner at Edgar’s was delightful. I like the options for each course instead of one standard meal. The plating for each dish was beautiful. It helped that our server was knowledgeable about the menu.

    Very nice Valentine's dinner with my wife here. The menu was fixed for the evening, but had great choices for the main course. All of it was delicious, including the cocktails. Will definitely be back!

    Very nice Valentine’s Day dinner! We enjoyed a bottle of Sangiovese with our dinner, which was a great choice. You just can’t go without ordering their salads- my husband enjoyed the beet salad and I enjoyed the famous Cucina salad - one of the very best in town! The bread with balsamic butter, along with our delicious entrees- the pan seared salmon, and the shrimp risotto rounded out our dinner. The portions are so big, we each took home almost half of our dinner, along with a Tiramisu to enjoy later ! All in all, a great experience- the service was excellent- I would say the only negative is that the tables are very close together, so the table beside you can hear your conversation, not much intimacy.
