    As much as we love the mission of this restaurant, it was pretty disappointing. The appetizer and salad was fine. But the entrees were really bad. My mom got a burger that was mealy and undercooked. She ended up not eating most of it as it was hard to find parts that looked safe to eat. I had the salmon which was cooked alright but the horseradish crust was strangely thick and soft? Kinda like stuffing. We also noticed that we had to wait a super long time for dessert. Over 30 minutes. For the price and the reputation of the restaurant we really expected better.

    Excellent food with great variety. Solid French restaurant and we sampled drinks, apps, entrees, and desserts. It was our anniversary and our server, Perry, even serenaded us with a song. A pleasant surprise and a great voice to boot. Thanks again Perry! Overall 10 out of 10. We’re planning to invite some friends out to dinner there in a couple of weeks.

    First time visit to Edwin’s and definitely will come back for dinner. Service was courteous and prompt while not being overbearing, nice selection of appetizers and mains that were extremely well prepared. Probably the best cheese cart selections I’ve seen in NE Ohio.

    Very impressed with the food and particularly the service. Had a wonderful anniversary dinner including the lobster bisque, goat cheese salad, grouper, unique burger and a glass of bubbly. Initially regretted not ordering the soufflé ahead of time for dessert but the strawberry rhubarb bread pudding was excellent. They have a wonderful thing going there! We will be back!

    what a great restaurant!, It was my wife and I's five year anniversary and we have never been there before. Service was great, parking can be a bit sparse, but they have free valet which made it nice. I would highly recommend this restaurant for celebrating special occasion or a night out. We both got salads, entrées, and each get a dessert, and two cocktails each and our bill was about $200. Pretty fair for everything that you got and for the occasion.

    I travel around the world for work. I have been privileged to experience some of the finest restaurants in many countries, but I am moved by the mission of Edwin’s. As a native Ohioan (but living elsewhere) it is so wonderful to come home to such a special place. Great food, great mission, great people. I am grateful to have found this gem.

    Three of us dined outside and each one of us had an outstanding entree. We had the tournedos, the braised lamb and salmon with cucumbers and cream sauce. Everything was done to perfection and the sauces were luscious and flavorful, and exquisitely balanced. We had Edwin's own Cabernet with the meal and it was a great big round wine, really tasty. And for dessert, we had the sorbet duos--homemade strawberry with a lemony bite to it and a wonderful dense blueberry that almost seemed to have some pear in it. The service was attentive and very friendly, and even though Brandon had two rather sizable parties going on inside, he stopped by our table twice to see how we liked our meal. Such a wonderful restaurant for Cleveland.

    Delightful experience. Our food was very good. We sat on the covered patio, which was absolutely lovely, however, the noise level from the street was sometimes loud and distracting from the fine dining experience. Our server Johnny, was terrific. We very much enjoyed talking with Brandon, the owner!

    Really interesting place to dine. Keep in mind all the employees are in training so if you have preferences please express them ... like meat prep (rare/well) etc... but the fact all these employees are motivated to do well in a chosen profession is very cool on top of the interesting food choices and ambience.

    Our meals were good but not great - lacking flavor. I had the salmon over cucumbers with horseradish, but was disappointed in the lack of flavor. My husband felt the same about his grouper. Our drinks & salad were excellent. The service, as always, was wonderful. When my salmon was overcooked, they took it back & gave me another one which was cooked as I requested.

    The food was wonderful, and the service was impeccable. The wait staff was very friendly and efficient. Our only complaint was that the "background" music was a little too loud (loud enough to interfere with conversation, even out on the patio, and even after we asked them to please turn it down) and was "jangly," not mellow, which I would have much preferred for dinner music. -- If you have the right weather, and we did, their patio is a lovely place to dine, fully covered, yet open to the evening breezes.

    I love Edwin's because the food is very good, and the service never has even a hint of snootiness. This visit was for my 60th birthday, and we finally planned far enough ahead to order the pressed duck for 2, which must be ordered 24 hours in advance. Food: Wow, the duck is heavenly, and so fun to see the tableside preparation. The drink special was called Cherry on Top, and it was really good too. Service: Knowing the pool of people Edwin's hires from explains the lack of snootiness, and lets you cut them a little slack when the service is maybe slightly rough around the edges. Ray promised me a complimentary Cherry on Top for my birthday, then had to come back and tell me they had sold out. Everything else was smooth and professional. Atmosphere: Bustling and interesting, with all the tableside carts moving around. Maybe a teeny bit noisy, but not objectionable. Edwin's will continue to be our favorite place for special celebrations.

    Our friends ordered Escargot Bourgogne and the Mesclen et vinaigrette and my wife ordered a Beet salad and I Cuisses de Grenouille to start. They were all excellent. Our dinner included Paupiettes de Merou, Cuisse de Agneau grill, Filet Mignon, and Leg of Lapin a al Moutardr. It also was excellent. Our waiter did not order my frog leg when he gave the kitchen the order of the table, so it came a little later. They got it there quickly.
