I honestly booked this reservation on a whim. I had never heard of this restaurant and after reading the menu, figured my kids would find something. I actually booked the wrong night for a reservation, but they took us anyway and we had great service, great food and a great time. We all had burgers, but we ordered the Circut Board, which was delicious! My husband and I ordered a Caesar salad to split and it was huge! We also split The Edison burger and it was so good. My only suggestion would be to have a better hamburger bun. It was too lazy and fell apart. But everything else was fine. And tell them it has a Speakeasy vibe!!!
First of all Talon was an AMAZING bartender, or ‘mixologist’. He made the best old fashioned I’ve ever had. He was very knowledgeable, and made great conversation! The vibe inside was awesome. The post prohibition steam punk theme is very cool! The food was very good. I would recommend going to have drinks and try the clothesline candied bacon! The attached photos are of a classic old fashion, the grilled cheese with soup, and a live performance!
For the price I would expect five stars but I could not give five stars. The food was good but our order was slightly incorrect. The salmon was dry, the tomato on my sandwich was forgotten. When asking for extra sauce on the side it took much longer than it should have. In regards to atmosphere the chairs were uncomfortable. It's a neat themed restaurant but I would not eat there again.
We liked everything at the Edison - food, very friendly staff, music! Our server was Emily, she took our dietary and allergy requirements very seriously. Everything was delicious and allergy-friendly.
It was an experience, but I don't think the quality of the food alone was enough to ever bring me back. Food was excellent, once it finally arrived, but...
We had a reservation for 11 and were excited when we discovered they had a "live radio show" performing on stage. We were promptly seated behind and under the stairs prohibiting virtually any VIEW of the show, BUT the live music was great.
Service went progressively downhill once ordering began. It's possible our server was new because although she seemed very knowledgeable she appeared to have a trainer or manager following her. THAT DIDN'T HELP. Some of the party didn't have their order taken at first and some didn't have their food delivered. The entrees came out on top of the appetizers, and then the server just disappeared.
The food was GREAT once everything arrived and the were plenty of gluten free options as well as a dedicated fryer for gluten free fries.
Once dinner was over trying to get our bill, splitting the check, and paying was once again a headache involving management.
Synopsis: Great food and gluten free options, but you have to ask yourself if it's worth the potential headache and frustration.
The daughter recommended this place so we decided to go for dinner last night. We had a reservation and got seated right away. Everywhere you look there is something special to see. The atmosphere was fantastic. We had our seats on the lower level where the DJ and singers performed. I included the photo of the closing act with all three singers.
The food was great as well. The burgers are exceptionally large. The daughter ended up taking half of hers home.
All the food was very tasty. We liked the bacon. Sweet and spicy. You get four pieces but was perfect for the two of us, as it set us up to enjoy the Burgers without filling us up.
If your going on a date or with family and friends you wont go wrong here.
PS the adult beverages are great as well. ????
Love this place. It is super cool and honestly underrated. A little expensive, but considering it is at Disney and they definitely are above par with the food, I say it is worth it.
Definitely recommend eating here if you want a cool place to eat. Atmosphere is an 11/10. Maybe get reservations if you go at a busy time though.. they can get really crowded.
Immerse yourself in the Roaring '20s at The Edison! Reservations can made through the Disney app, and that is strongly suggested. However, we were lucky enough to get in on a Friday night. Our seats on the 2nd floor looked right down at the stage, and the live performers were awesome. Our server was very friendly and attentive. The Edison Burger didn't wow us by any means, but it was tasty enough. The Artisan Flatbread was good, too. Overall, we thought the experience was very unique, and we will definitely be going back.
