“ Delicious crab cakes. Great service. Delicious New York strip. Wonderful service. The wait staff signed a card for our anniversary which was awesome. ”
“ I had the opportunity to meet with a client for dinner, at the Edison, while traveling on business. It was not too crowded on a Tuesday happy hour time. There was plenty on parking in the lot next to the restaurant for around $20-$22 for two hours. The host and waitress were nice. I had a house salad with tuna as my protein. Everything was delicious the tuna was perfectly cooked. I had dressing on the side with a bit of milled pepper. There is a bar in the restaurant and overall it was a great atmosphere. I recommend the Edison when in the area. ”
“ I've been here once before for a dinner when it first opened and just went for the 2nd time for a girls brunch. I love the mid-century aesthetic, you feel very classy having brunch at this restaurant and it's such a fun spot to bring friends to! I started with a french 75, I would say theirs was OK. the proportions of liquids didn't seem quite right but it was still drinkable. Next, I tried their Pear Spritz, which was basically an aperol spritz with pear simple syrup - that was pretty tasty! We shared their pigs in a blanket as an appetizer and those were super yummy (sorry no photo!) - little hotdogs wrapped in an everything bagel seasoned puff pastry (so hot upon arrival haha). For my entre I opted for the nashville hot chicken salad w/salad on the side (because, balance...). The sandwich was HUGE, like, couldn't fit it in my mouth for a bite huge haha so I mostly had to pick at it or cut it to eat. It was super tasty though, the crisp was perfection and the flavors were on point, low spice. Will definitely be going back! ”
“ The Edison was fantastic. Four of us had a great dinner on a Wednesday night. At the bar - the Old Fashioned was a good twist on a classic. The bartender crafted an off-menu cocktail for one of the guys in our party (It's the Apple Cider non-alcoholic cocktail w/ a shot of bourbon - you should try it). Everyone else enjoyed their cocktails and wine. Heidi was our server. She "got" us. She was a ton of fun and made the experience even better. The food - the pork entree was amazing. The short ribs were also fantastic. The meatball appetizer exceeded expectations. All in all, a great experience. Now in the top 5 of my favorite restaurants in Milwaukee. ”
“ The Edison was very sophisticated and upscale. Our server was very attentive and checked in the right amount of times. Food was tasty, we had the baked truffle cheese spread as an appetizer and I had the salmon. The app was creamy and delicious. The bread it came with was very good and well toasted. The salmon was cooked perfectly as well. For drinks, I had the Bradford which was a little too sweet for my preference but still enjoyable. I would definitely return and try more dishes. ”
“ Run, don't walk, to The Edison for their seasonal corn risotto! Perfect summer dish! Pro tip: add bacon Overall, menu had clear gluten free and vegetarian indicators which is appreciated. The rest of my group enjoyed the wings, porkchop, and cacio e pepe Note: 4 stars given due to high prices! $30 for risotto (even great risotto) is steep for Milwaukee ”
“ Delicious cocktails Different assortment of appetizers I really liked the shallots! The interior is gorgeous highly recommend going for drinks and appetizers, it's a little on the pricey side so you could go for heavy apps to share easy or even just for drinks before a show. Service was good. ”
