The food was awesome very cozy. Setting noise level is only allowed due to the loud mouth that was sitting next to me. Can’t wait to go back. It was awesome.

The Edge is our favorite local restaurant and it adds to the culinary offerings in the area. We have been coming on a regular basis for many years, since they opened. We noticed many new faces among the waitstaff (our waiter, Eric, was actually working his first night and did a great job!). Our shared appetizer of brussel sprouts was excellent, tasty and well charred. Carol chose the Chicken Fontina and I chose the Short Ribs. Our only concern was the amount of time we waited for our entrees. A minor point, to be sure. The place was quite busy and the bar was packed. Carol chose the Liberty School Cab while I decided to try the Edge Old Fashioned - a good choice. The entertainment was very good (Shore Bet) - they mixed things up during their first set and we ended up staying for another drink. All in all, a good dining experience.
