This place is ridiculously good. We grabbed seats at the bar like we usually do on a Saturday night and left completely satisfied. It's a true hidden gem, perfect size, a TV behind the bar, great bourbons, and a menu built for sharing. The portions are just right if you want to order a few different dishes and split them. We're already looking forward to going back, especially to see Emma, she made the whole experience even better, which isn't always easy to find these days. Pro tip: get there early if you want the specials, because they go fast (for good reason). And don't skip the tuna appetizer--we ordered it by accident and were blown away. It's one of those dishes you just have to try for yourself. read more

What a great place in Avon Lake kind of a word-of-mouth place. We had heard about the Smashburger and I saw a picture of it online and it delivered. It looked like a Smashburger should with a smashed patty with crusty caramelized ends on a fluffy bun with special sauce. A top 10 burger for me and we got the Shishido peppers because we will always get Shishido peppers at every restaurant just to try their presentation and this was a tasty dish. I was watching the food come out and everything that came out of the kitchen looked like it was a well crafted well-thought-out and plated generously. Including the bar or the restaurant might serve 40 to 45 people and and I think it's a perfect size for this sort of menu. There are some high-end items and then some lower priced items we felt comfortable wearing jeans and not T-shirts and we look forward to trying some of their specials. I give High recommendation to the Smashburger and the Shishido's along with some of the best service that we could get and my wife Wife was already talking about when we could return. Check out the pictures. read more

Didn't snap any photos of my food, but definitely my favorite espresso martini in the area. I've been a few times and have always had a great experience. The restaurant is on the smaller side, so sometimes it can be harder to get a table, but it adds to the cozy cocktail bar vibe. Their menu is always changing, and the chef prioritizes local, fresh items. There's always something unique and different on the menu. The bread is locally made and a must try. Also, they have a super good happy hour! Can't wait to sit on the patio in the summer. read more

Stopped in for lunch and had an amazing experience. We started with an espresso martini and a Paper Plane which were both perfectly crafted. The taco dip was absolutely delightful, and for mains we tried the scallop special and the rigate and cheese, which were outstanding. The menu is creative and unique, and everything felt thoughtfully done. A wonderful experience in a small but beautiful space. Highly recommend! read more

We went to Edacious for dinner while in town visiting my sister, who made a reservation for five of us. Though the space is on the smaller side, the five of us comfortably fit in the booth table by the bar. It was definitely on the busy side though and the table before us was running long, so they set us all up at the bar and got us some lovely cocktails while we waited. They were really communicative and checked in with us to let us know the status of our table. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. Though there were a few vegetarian options on the menu, my sister asked on our behalf if anything else could be made vegetarian - not only could a couple of things be modified, but the chef was game to make us something off menu. So of course, I went with dealer's choice and the chef made a delicious, flavorful pasta dish. Also, we started with the bread board and I will be dreaming about it for a while. It was a wonderful experience and I am looking forward to visiting again next time we're in town. read more

Love this little gem in Avon Lake. It's the perfect date night spot and the food is always on point. Make a reservation though as it's small and they get very busy. This last visit we did not have a reservation but we could sit at the bar ( last two seats ) - the bread service........ORDER IT!!! The shashito peppers--- order these two! I was disappointed in the chips with the chips & dip- I feel like a place as this should serve thick cut homemade warm chips but these were kettle chips out of a bag. We ordered the filet and the chicken kebab and ohhhh emmmm geeeee. The sauces and accompanying items with the kebab were luck your plate clean good. The filet was perfectly seared and the crispy potatoes with it were on point. So, the dishes are not huge but they are perfectly prepared. The ambience is great. It's small and cozy- I like going here when it's winter or fall. They do have a tiny patio for warmer weather dining although I've never seen anyone on the back patio. If you're looking for a quaint delicious place- this is it!! Everything is great! read more

This is a great restaurant! My husband and I had dinner with two other couples. Seated right away, server was conscientious, and got us drinks while we waited for the rest of the party (I'm always early!). We had wine and beer, though the cocktail menu looks awesome! When everyone arrived, we started with bread service and raw oysters. The breads were excellent - focaccia and a pepperoni bread - with whipped ricotta and herbed olive oil for dipping. Oysters tasted very fresh, with good salinity - I said I could taste the ocean. My husband had the Wagyu brisket with pomegranate molasses, pimento cheese, roasted corn and mustard seed. The meat was tender and tasty, and the pimento cheese with the roasted corn almost gave creamed corn vibes in a cool new way! I had the lamb burger... so tasty! It also seemed like half the restaurant was ordering it - clearly a fave! Only drawbacks - one the restaurant can control, one they can't: 1. The lamb burger is AWESOME, and deserves a better side than potato chips (if it needs to be chips, either go house-made or something other than plain potato) 2. With the front open, motorcycles cruising Lake Road on a nice summer evening can make conversation difficult. We will return to try more of the menu and some cocktails! read more

We've been going to Edacious since it first opened. At that time everything on the menu that we tried was fantastic. They change the menu periodically - a good thing, I like variety - but the quality has changed a lot, not in a good way. Every now and then we try a special, like last night, but they are always disappointing now. The only thing that is consistently great is the smash burger. We used to be regulars. I don't know what happened, but it's disappointing. read more

Busy Friday so we had a drink and put on list. Drinks and food are good reasonable waiting times and we had 2 smash burgers- tasty. A little busy or loud as its small area, but we had fun. read more

Best burger I've had in my 55 years! Well seasoned and perfectly cooked - almost made me annoyed that I don't know how to replicate it at home. The restaurant is small but we didn't have to wait and the waitstaff are very friendly and helpful. I will definitely be back! read more

Outstanding burger -- the best we've had--- friendly, attentive servers. A real find in Avon Lake!!! Love the oysters and smashed potatoes as well! read more

We went for the Smashburgers and all I can say is - we will be going back for the Smashburgers. They are that good!

Small, casual ambiance. Nice small menu without being overwhelmed. Seafood,vege, carnivore options for everyone.

We were invited to dinner at Edacious in a whim and it was fantastic. Jonathan was a top notch server, attentive and informed about everything on the menu and the wine selection. Each appetizer was amazing, we sampled: the baked oysters in Asiago and Parmesan, blistered shashito peppers, bread service, chips and dip and mustardy steak tartare. The tartare is a highest recommend. Our party had several different mains with the favorites being the filet and the rigatoni in Sunday Sauce. The cheese cake and chocolate mousse for dessert capped off a wonderful evening. Thank you Edacious. read more

Very small restaurant parking is a little tricky, but food and service. Absolutely delicious. We got the brisket and Smashburger with a side of potatoes. We will definitely be returning. read more

Smash burger, best in town! Would recommend this gem to anyone. Worth the drive head on out.

I Yelped smash burgers near me and this place showed up. Has to be one of the best smash burgers I ever had. A little heat and the side of potatoes were awesome. Sat at the bar and it was service with a smile. Great decor with a couple of big screens for entertainment. Looking forward to my next visit and check out the outdoor patio. read more

This place doesn't miss!! Edacious is just what Avon Lake needed. The service is next level, with a real neighborhood feel. The menu is updated regularly, but they love to keep the staples on. Can't recommend enough trying the tinned fish appetizer, pork belly, and the smash burger. Be sure to snag a reservation prior to going, as it's always packed! We did more family style to try everything, as the plates are a bit smaller. read more

Not only is the service terrific, but the food is outstanding. It's small and tight and a little loud, but the staff is cheerful as they navigate. They don't have a gluten free menu, but staff could recommend great options. I do wish they had a few more vegetarian options, especially in entrees. read more

I absolutely love Edacious with all my heart, and so do all my friends and family. It's the go-to spot for an upscale celebration or a fun night out. The specials are always amazing, and honestly, it's almost impossible to find a good steak these days but they've nailed it. And don't even get me started on the smash burger... best in Northeast Ohio, no question. I would eat here every night if I could! Can't recommend it enough! The service is also great and they are super accommodating to special requests. THE BEST PLACE TO EAT! read more

My wife and I have gone to the restaurant for Saturday lunch numerous times during the last three months. The dishes have been very good to excellent, with depth of flavors and complexity. The service has always been efficient and friendly. The portions are not large but are good value for the prices charged. If you have not been there yet you should give it a try. read more

This will be a spot we'll be going to frequent and looking forward to it!! Need to hit up their weekend brunch too!! read more

So sad to report the continuing decline of this once fabulous restaurant. Last night was the impetus for this review: I ordered sarchetti, a pasta dish. What I got was a bland, borderline tasteless not-very-large bowl of beef/noodle soup. For $28. This added to a string of recent disappointments: A duck special that my companion described as barely edible; a slab of dry breaded pork with a sprig of green something on top that I didn't finish, both pricey. And then there are the little things, the attention to detail that distinguishes great eateries: an old-fashioned mixed without sugar, a breakfast sandwich (at Sunday brunch) described as "ham and gruyere (my favorite cheese)" that became ham and swiss. The smash burgers will keep us coming back, but this restaurant has lost its mojo. read more

Great girls night spot. We all got the cherry bourbon mule but with vodka... oh my delicious!

We moved to Charleston and came back home for a visit. Saw the write up in the Plain Dealer & thought we would give it a try. What a great find; small menu, but a great selection from Pork belly to lobster & Brie or a great looking smash burger. Give this place a try you won't be disappointed! Hope to go back one more time before we head back home read more

Great service, quality food Smash burger is amazing I wish they served fries .... Nice local establishment read more

Five stars is not enough! I hate to write the review because it's a small place and already hard to get in at times. This kitchen is killing it, every dish that comes out of this kitchen is inspired & delicious! Service is awesome & very accommodating. The only downside is there are only a few seats in the restaurant that are not high tops. For short people & those with mobility issues I'd suggest making a reservation and specifically request a low top. read more

The service was good burger I had was very good. I was very happy and the chips are very good. Never been there before but I'd go back again. If I was on that side of town, it was a nice crowd. read more
