    First time I tried the duck. It was excellent! I love the endive salad and choose it regularly. The service is outstanding (not intrusive, but a great balance between professional competence and hospitality). Thank you once again.

    The food is fantastic, creative but not pretentious. The service is really the unsung hero of this place.

    The excellent food at EDNA is surpassed only by the graciousness of the staff. The moment you walk in the door it feels like home. Our Sunday brunch special, eggs Benedict over ricotta cheese and roasted tomatoes was superb. And the coffee was great, too. Any day the special chicken vegetable soup is on the menu is a command performance. I’ve raved about EDNA before, but it just keeps getting better.

    First time at this restaurant and it was very delish! Service was top notch as well! The negative .... Chairs are extremely uncomfortable and took away some of the overall experience. Easy fix for the owners if they wish to do so.

    Our brunch at Edna was delightful! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by a warm and attentive staff who made us feel right at home. The food was spectacular. Each dish was beautifully prepared and bursting with flavour. Sharing this experience with friends made it even more special. Edna is a must-visit if you're looking for a top-notch brunch spot!
