The Edison Kitchen & Cocktails

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.

Went here with my fiancée and her parents for dinner. Had pretty good expectations as I like the restaurant group that operates this restaurant.Let's start with pros:- The service was very good, server checked in on us multiple times and brought everything promptly - Appetizers were very good and we took them down super fast- The grilled pork chop one of us ordered was bar none the best pork chop I have ever hadNow the cons:- We specifically emphasized that someone in our party had allergies and it seems like the kitchen did not take enough care to reduce the risk of cross contamination. Our party member was sick for the whole night after dinner. Unfortunately this is an issue with restaurants at this price point and has happened before with restaurants owned by this restaurant group.- I ordered the roasted chicken which was extremely dry, to the point I couldn't finish it. It was certainly overcooked and not very good. Overall I think bad circumstances led to the experience being not the best. But based on those circumstances, I am not sure if I'd be willing to give this place another chance.

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!

We were going to a nearby play at the Skylight Music Theater (about a five minute walk away if you're looking for a nearby eatery!). Our experience was ok. Beginning with the good to great:+ The space is beautiful and the location is perfect. Nestled in the Historic Third Ward, it's a prime location for dining before or after shows at the many nearby theaters. There's tons of nearby shopping as well.+ We made reservations and were seated promptly. + Service was prompt as well+ We got rum cake for dessert and it was a boozy, tropical delight+ I had seared scallops added to my cacio e pepe and they were prepared wonderfully with the perfect sear+ They have a sidewalk patio with heatersThe less than ideal:+ The cocktails weren't my jam. I got The Good Land and found it unbalanced+ The cauliflower side also had what felt like conflicting flavors that left my dining companion and I struggling to eat it+ The cacio e pepe lacked flavor+ The service while prompt was otherwise not really friendly (few words were spoken)A bit of a mixed bag for me but the location is great and the inside is beautiful.

Delicious crab cakes. Great service. Delicious New York strip. Wonderful service. The wait staff signed a card for our anniversary which was awesome.

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 baconOverall, menu had clear gluten free and vegetarian indicators which is appreciated. The rest of my group enjoyed the wings, porkchop, and cacio e pepeNote: 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.

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.

Grand looking building with a bit of eclectic decor. Service was ok the waitress was friendly enough. Food was good not great. Salmon was a bit overcooked, frittata was a bit dry but tasty. Corn risotto was good and the Mac and cheese was a little too thick.
