                                                  Food was great, service nice but slow. They seemed to be understaffed that day as our server was also mixing our drinks — but that was probably just a fluke. The prices were pretty high for what you get ($30+ for burrata starter!), but the food was creative and tasty. Would go here again because everyone was friendly and every dish was absolutely delicious.

                                                  Quiet Sunday night, restaurant was slow. However, the service and the food were not. Our waiter was helpful and knowledgeable. The cocktails were great the food even better and the desert wash mind blowing. Highly highly recommend it, a total foodie restaurant.

Can’t rave about the oysters enough. I’ve eaten here four times and it just gets better all the time. All the food was arrived hot and the presentation was beautiful. Starters were plenty to share with our party of six. If you haven’t tried this restaurant do you will not be disappointed.

                                                  Edison's is great! Very cool flavors and preparations. They keep the same base proteins and switch up the ingredients that are paired with them, according to the seasons. Its always unique but anything with a savory sorbet is quite fun texturally! The potato crusted oysters are a consistent favorite!

                                                  Edison Food + Drink Lab has been a favorite of ours for YEARS and this visit was particularly special. We brought out three children (7,9 and 11) for birthday dinner for a nine-year old foodie. The kids were very adventurous in tasting all of the food we ordered and enjoyed it all from the potato crusted oysters, to the bone marrow, and burger. The kitchen timed our dishes perfectly and made the evening so special for our family. We are Edisons fans for life, and this visit is the perfect example why.
