Edge has a fantastic and open decor, friendly and helpful staff, and great food and beverages. At times, the menu is a bit limited but still enjoyable. This is another great establishment where you can relax and talk without being overwhelmed by loud music, so it's also a great stop for couples. My girlfriend got grilled chicken on spring mix salad with pecans and mandarin oranges. She loved it. My short rib over risotto with broccolini was phenomenal. The rib truly melted. For dessert we had an incredible peanut butter and chocolate pie. Our drinks were good but something seemed to be missing from each of them. I know my vodka martini had too much vermouth. Normally, the bartenders are spot on. We will certainly return. read more

Edge Restaurant, located on West Broad Street in Bethlehem, is a New American restaurant with French and Asian influences. It's open Monday through Thursday from 8:00 AM to 8:30 PM, and on Friday and Saturday until 9:30 PM. I stopped in on Thursday night for an early dinner and had a great first experience, with friendly service and delicious, well-prepared food. My friends and I started with the crispy dim sum (chicken), essentially crispy chicken dumplings, served with a sweet-spicy Thai chili sauce and savory soy sauce. Next, we tried the crispy calamari, lightly crisp and tender, with medium-sized rings served alongside romaine and baby arugula, red pepper, ginger-sriracha dressing, and fried capers. For my entrée I went with the Thai Chicken Curry, prepared with tender chicken, fingerling potatoes, cauliflower, scallions, cilantro, and red pepper in a rich, creamy coconut milk broth. The steamed jasmine rice soaked up the sauce beautifully, making this an entrée I absolutely loved. My friend had the Farfalle Pasta, composed of roasted chicken breast, sautéed spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, artichoke, lemon beurre blanc, grana, and crispy prosciutto. It's not something I would ever order, but it looked great and she really liked it. My other friend had sautéed Angus beef with sugar snap peas and hoisin jus, as well as the seasonal flatbread, which happened to be a spicy margarita. The beef was juicy, and the flatbread had a nice crisp to the crust. He enjoyed them both. From the appetizers to the entrées, everything at Edge was wonderful. It's definitely a place I'd return to for both the food and the atmosphere. read more

We stopped in with family from out of town on Thursday, December 18, 2025. Street parking was an option but pretty full, so we parked in a nearby garage--it was only about a two-minute walk. Our server was friendly and attentive. The restaurant was festively decorated for Christmas, which was a great way to kick off the day before heading around Bethlehem and visiting Christkindlmarkt Bethlehem. A nice start to a fun holiday outing. Forgot to snap a photo of my cocktail, but I really enjoyed the Beet Me to the Punch (beet juice infused gin and some other items which escape me what they were). The food was delicious--I had the tomato bisque and shrimp cocktail, while others at the table enjoyed sandwiches and were very happy with their choices. I love how the change the name of Fries to Fryz... It happened awhile ago and has stayed on the menu since according to our waiter. We'd definitely like to plan another trip back here, especially during Christmas time, but it would also be great to visit in warmer weather--maybe around Musikfest. read more

Over the years we've been to edge a handful of times and I've never had a bad experience. I'm not sure why I've never reviewed them but it seems that they've been well reviewed and I'm surprised by a 3.8 in December 25. The ambience is elegant yet comfortable, the food matches the ambience and the service seems to always be on point. My most recent meal consisted of spicy tuna tartar and mushroom risotto with beef tips both of which were excellent. I would love to see a citrus wheat on their draft list- but you can't have everything! read more

10/10 Recommend. Lets start with the Owner. She was amazing...simply put, great hospitality. The food was fantastic! My whole family went. We got Chef Tims Meatloaf Sandwich, perfectly cooked and the secret Sauce was fantastic. It came with fresh cut fries. The Deviled Egg BLT was a unique item that you rarely see anywhere. My wife loved it! The egg salad was not too much and tasted great! Monte Cristo with a Twist? French Texas Toast with turkey and ham with Muenster and Cooper Cheese. This sandwich was awesome! The vibes and aura of this restaurant was amazing. Mimosas for brunch, christmas theming, spacious and intimate. All around an amazing restaurant. P.S. DON'T FORGET THE PEANUT BUTTER PIE! IT WAS ALSO A 10/10! Follow us on @keystonefoodie on instagram for our reel review! read more

Slow service, Sad plate. After a long day of management team meetings, we looked forward to team building over dinner at Edge. This was a Wednesday early evening, we all arrived around 5pm. Our table of 10 was seated as we found parking and arrived. A long table in a back corner was nice, however the restaurant was quite dark. Decor yielded high end. Drinks gave towards that feel, however food did not. I enjoyed a Summer Old Fashioned. The Aperol was a sweet accompaniment to the cocktail. Friends around the table were surprised in the Elixir of Life- carrot forward. We enjoyed lots of conversation among the table. This at least was distraction from the entrees taking so long to arrive. Understood we were a large party, however the restaurant may have had at most 10 other patrons besides our table. An hour later- My crab cakes arrived. My hunger did not overtake the look of this plate. Plate presentation minus. Crab croquettes at best. There was not lump crab meat here. Filler fried. The potato gratin was a square of casserole, not creamy or cheesy. The slaw was a plate plop. The dressing did not marinate the slaw enough and wasabi lacked with no kick. I took bites, did not enjoy the dish and left with no leftovers. Around the table there were feedbacks of Good and Ok. Good to Risottos and Ok to Roasted Cauliflower. We had a good off-hour time together as a team. But unfortunately my experience keeps me on the Edge of not recommending. read more

Edge Restaurant - Crab Cake Entree (before I tried anything) - New American Near Me - Bethlehem, Pennsylvania

Edge Restaurant is a New American restaurant that opened in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania in 2002. It was founded by restaurateurs and married couples Tim & Karen Widrick and Spencer & Carissa Cobb. The business partners also own the restaurants SURV and Sunny Side Up!: both in nearby Easton. Edge features a contemporary dining experience with a menu that blends French and Asian influences. In addition to being one of the owners, Tim Widrick also serves as Edge's executive chef. Kyle Abel serves as the Chef de Cuisine. My family and I visited Edge this past summer while we were visiting relatives in the area. We were a large group of extended family: 14 of us in all. We were really excited when we walked in. The architecture and the colors were very nice: a very sleek, modern look. To drink, I ordered a "Broad Street Manhattan" (straight bourbon, amaretto, lemon juice, black cherry puree, cherry bitters). It was a nice take on the classic cocktail. As an appetizer, my wife and I split a "Half Dozen Oysters on a Half" (cucumber riesling mignonette). For entrees, I had the "Farfalle Pasta" (roasted chicken breast, sautéed spinach, sun-dried tomato, artichokem lemon beurre blanc, grana, crispy prosciutto) and my wife had the "Oven Roasted European Chicken Breast" (sage, gruyere and prosciutto stuffed airline chicken breast, green goddess risotto, sautéed baby carrots, guajillo tomato puree). Although there isn't a traditional kid's menu, the staff said that they could bring our two boys simple plates of "Farfalle Pasta" (one with sauce and one with butter). Unfortunately, our experience left us feeling disappointed. The service was unbearably slow (well over an hour wait; not great when you have hungry young children), there were a lot of menu omissions, dishes came out different from the way they were described, and the food was just... ok... and overpriced. We look forward to returning to Bethlehem's excellent restaurant scene, but it won't be at Edge. read more

Came here while on vacation and dinner was delicious. Service was great and ambiance was nice. We all loved our food.

Went for a random Monday night date night and weren't expecting miracles on a typically "off" night but the food was absolutely incredible. They have a decent selection of various sizes of dishes and cocktails. The hummus was a winner for sure. read more

We had a truly disappointing experience at The Edge Restaurant in Bethlehem, PA--especially for a Valentine's Day dinner that was booked about three weeks in advance. Right from the start, we were seated in an undecorated side room that felt like a cafeteria in an office building: no ambiance, no warmth, and completely separated from the actual bar and main dining area where the restaurant's atmosphere clearly is. For a special occasion with my wife, it was a terrible setup. Service was painfully slow, and it was obvious why--there appeared to be only one server covering roughly ten tables in that side room. We waited far too long for basic attention throughout the meal. The food didn't come close to justifying the price. The tuna tartare was awful--unappealing in appearance and smelled off, like it had been sitting too long. The salmon entrée was also poorly executed, tasting like it was over-steamed and then drowned in overly salty soy sauce. For what we paid, this was not worth it. We won't be returning, especially with so many better dining options in Bethlehem. read more

Was mortified tonight at Edge restaurant Bethlehem. Had reservations for 9 people for restaurant week.Confirmed by phone. We showed up on time and was seated then told we couldn't order off the special prefix restaurant week menu because they wouldn't be able to serve the courses at the same time. Although we could order off regular priced menu in which case we would be served in a timely fashion. This was completely unacceptable. Never had this happen before. Will never go back. They are extending restaurant week because of a snow storm. Imagine a business that would try to take advantage of customers who came out in spite of the bad weather. I along with my party of 9 left. .We won't be back. Thankfully we were accommodated at another 515 restaurant on Main St. So embarrassing.What a shame always loved this place, a shame when a restaurant goes down hill . read more

Edge was a special-occasion-only restaurant for me while I was a student. I was so thoroughly impressed by my second or third meal here that I selected it to be the dinner on my graduation day. A true honor. Most people probably don't remember how hot it was on Lehigh's graduation day in 2016. It was awful. Any restaurant hosting Lehigh families that night would have faced some undeserved wrath. With that being said, the final dinner didn't quite do it for us. I remember there being a limited menu or something that night, and nobody in my party was particularly impressed. For what it's worth, that was well before I became a food critic. I remember Edge as one of the best, but not the best. read more

We visited this spot for the holidays and it was busy and packed! We had a reservation and were seated almost immediately so I definitely recommend making a reservation when they're busy. The food was decent. One thing to note is the menu is different during December so we didn't get the dishes we were excited to try. We ended up grabbing Brussel Sprouts and Calamari for apps and Mushroom Risotto for the entree. The Brussel Sprouts were decent but a bit burned. They were a decent portion for the price. The Calamari was disappointing and bland with almost no seasoning and taste. I would not get it again. The Mushroom Risotto was delicious and very creamy and well made. I enjoyed it and it was pretty filling. I recommend getting it if you want something light and delicious. Overall, this was a decent spot that I would revisit in the future to try their other dishes because they looked really delicious. read more

Nothing was awful but nothing is exceptional, it's just meh. Small plates ordered: Coconut tofu - 3/4 Roasted cauliflower - 3/4 Chicken lettuce wraps - 1/4 - these are bad Plates ordered: Crab cakes - I asked about these specifically and the description says jumbo lump....they are the opposite. No jumbo lump crab in sight, mostly filling, cakey, not tasty. So bad they should not be on the menu. The potatoes gratin was creamy and deserves mention but do yourself a favor and pass. Tuna Tartare - these were not good. Think mashed tuna. The texture is a pass. Salmon - this was the only edible entree The service was equally "okay" as we sat with empty drinks for most of our meal. We needed new flatware and ended up just taking it from the table next to us. Nothing downright awful (except that crabcake & tuna tartare) but not anything I need to revisit. read more

Our group of 9 adults had dinner reservations at Edge during Bethlehem's restaurant week where multiple restaurants offer special prix fixe menus with limited selections. After we were seated, our server told us that because of our group size (9 people?!) that we had to order off of the higher priced regular menu. We were told that we should have been advised of that when the reservations were made (we weren't). We were also told that if we were allowed to order off of the advertised Restaurant Week menu that it would create a problem in the kitchen and take up to 3 hours to be served. Complete nonsense and clearly an attempt at driving up our bill. We all left and went to another local restaurant and had a great dinner. This was the first and last time I'll set foot in Edge. read more

We had breakfast at Edge on a Friday morning. The stuffed French toast and blueberry pancakes were divine! Customer service was very good. The restaurant is large and visually appealing.

Edge is a beautiful, upscale restaurant, but what got our attention was the food and wine. Housemade rolls served hot with olive oil & herbs were really good. Spicy Thai Chicken Curry was very flavorful and Pinot Grigio was good. Friend selected Penne Pasta because it's a dish made with squash and tomato. She thought it was very good but was disappointed not enough squash or tomato. Our server was awesome. read more

As someone stated in a previous review, our meal here was just kind of "meh". We started with the Chicken Lettuce Wraps which were awful. Absolutely no flavor to them whatsoever. I ordered the pork tenderloin. It came out warm, not hot and the flavor was only so-so. The polenta that came with it was okay, but again, warm not hot and the Brussels sprouts were really good, but I only had two actual Brussels sprouts on my plate and the rest were just leaves that I couldn't even stab my fork into. My husband had the short rib with polenta and broccolini. Again, the food was warm and not hot. The short rib was actually pretty good as was the polenta but nothing exceptional. I did like my sangria a lot and would be back for drinks only. Very expensive for what we had. read more

Bad service. Poor customer service. Poor interactions. Had to leave. Demeaning and belittling behaviour to their customers.

We made a reservation 2 days before Valentines Day at the Edge in Bethlehem. We arrived at around 12:15 or so. Waitress seated us. We waited apx 5 minutes until a waitress showed up. Long story short it took apx 20 minutes before we got our food. I am 66 years old and the hamburger was the worst I have ever eaten. I only took 3 bites it tasted like shoe leather. My wife got the eggs and she only took 2 bites she said they had no flavor. I asked waitress for a box so I could take home the barely eaten food and give it to the wildlife. Our feral cat would not eat the burger but did take a few bites of the eggs. Eventually a very hungry possum ate the eggs but would not touch the burger. Oh I just noticed on my back porch camera a very hungry skunk just ate some of the burger. Well at least the food did not go to waste. Oh forgot to mention I did tip the waitress even though she did not give us any silverware or napkins. And she made faces when we asked for 2 boxes. We will never go back to Edge again.

We went for breakfast at Edge. Okay, I'll allow for the fact that they've just started serving Breakfast, but they are truly unprepared. The coffee didn't have much taste. I ordered poached eggs on toast with potatoes and bacon. The egg yolks are supposed to be runny; they were a solid rock, and so dry that you could choke on them. I ate only one. The potatoes and bacon tasted okay. I will not be returning to this restaurant. read more

My first review for the historic North Side Downtown NoBO arts district in a while, and thrilled that it is for the edge. After returning back to the Lehigh Valley for a visit from California, I was excited to find a cute, new spot to reconnect with my sister. Growing up in Bethlehem, I have always been a fan of our wonderful, lively downtown scene. The edge offers a cheque, upscale ambiance, yet maintaining a welcoming atmosphere fit for all people And ages. Our server was attentive, answering all questions, elaborating on all specials, and getting our drinks out fast enough to ensure the perfect amount of buzz to enjoy a lovely evening. The food was cooked to perfection, and it wasn't an easy choice to elect what dish I'd be going with. Thank you again to the edge, for fostering a perfect evening out with my sister and fiance! read more

Went to Edge tonight January 17th 2026, and my husband and I sat at the bar. We had to alert the bartender to get our drinks, and later again to order our food. It was a busy night, but the 2 bartenders spent a lot of time chatting and joking with waiters and each other. I ordered spicy Ahi tuna, and the bartender forgot to order it spicy, so a separate spicy sauce had to be ordered. I then ordered the dish that on the menu described Cavatelli with mushrooms, spinach, sausage, and a butternut squash sauce. It took a long time and we had to ask if they had forgotten us. Then my dish came without mushrooms, without spinach, but a very bland and overly cooked/baked cheesy pasta dish. Not recommendable at all. We asked for the menu again, and pointed out the difference in my meal, and what the menu promised. A long tangled story about " a set" being changed followed. I would not recommend this restaurant. They need to step it up. read more

We are here last night with a wedding party (night before wedding) of at least twenty. Service was excellent; cocktails were superb; appetizers were first rate; and entrees were spectacular.

Despite the staff being very polite there were just many errors during the meal. They first had us seated in the wrong reserved table, had two steaks cooked differently than wanted, served coffee to the wrong person, etc. They shouted to ask who wanted butter for bread stoping everyone's conversation instead of directly giving it to the person that requested. They were very nice just small mistakes from poor coordination between staff though always polite. Baby greens - I really enjoyed the crisps on top. The salad wasn't anything special. Just greens with a light dressing. Tournedos of Filet mignon - cooked very well and two nice tender pieces just not the warmest coming out. The potatoes were amazing. It also came with carrots and peas which were fine. Pistachio praline cheesecake - absolutely delicious. Highlight food of the menu. Chocolate Mille-feuille - nice and flaky puff pastry, great but the cheesecake overshadowed this Sangria & white Zinfandel - enjoyed both but preferred the sangria Ambience was dark lit, clean, a nice upscaled feel to it. Overall a decent upscale restaurant. I would enjoy eating here but wouldn't be a place I specifically sought out. Service - 4/5 - polite but many minor errors Food - 4/5 - good overall, cheesecake was fantastic Ambience - 4.5/5 typical upscale feel, clean read more

I've been here twice and really enjoyed both visits. On our first visit we sat at the bar and had some snacks, fast service and friendly bartender. We came again last night for my birthday (booked thru open table). Pretty empty restaurant but it was a Monday at 7pm (unlike how busy they were on a Saturday night). Our party all ordered the penne pasta and it was delicious. Also enjoyed its about thyme. To make the night special, they gave me a free birthday dessert! I chose the chocolate cake, and it was also fantastic. Absolutely love the ambiance of this place, feels elevated with the low lighting and very attentive service. read more

A 6pm reservation. We were seated promptly in the bistro. Unfortunately our table was a wobbler and could not be remedied. We were moved seamlessly to another table in the restaurant. We started with a Victorian Mistress, a vodka martini with pomegranate and a classic gin martini, they were perfect. I ordered another. My wife switched to a Pinot noir. Our first course from the medium plates selection was tuna tartare. We both felt it was as good as any we ever had. My wife particularly enjoyed the ginger lime aioli. Service was exemplary. Zahir was a real professional. We then got the calamari which was also excellent. The squid was plump and moist and the dressing was ginger sriracha which was delicious. There was baby arugula in there too. For our third taste we got mussels with an applewood smoked bacon cream sauce. Who thinks of bacon with mussels? We do now. It was outstanding. The chef here is one to take notice of. Lastly, we ordered the triple truffle house ground angus burger, to split. It was good but our least fav. The fries were unique and very tasty. We say food "a", service "a", ambiance "b", value "b+". We would return when in town. Mark & Nancy. read more

A friend and I were staying in Bethlehem and this restaurant was recommended. It was a good choice. Parking can be a challenge-there is street parking but there is also a parking garage behind the restaurant and if you park on the upper floor-I think it was level 4, you can cross a bridge and be right at the restaurant entrance which was very convenient. The restaurant has a nice ambiance. there is a bar and a large dining area. The menu is divided into small, medium and large plates We started with the baked brie with pecans, apples, dried cranberries and brown sugar butter which was a "medium" plate. It was really delicious. For the entree I had the large plate of lump crab cakes with Napa salad. I liked both the crab cakes and the salad. The portion wasn't all that large but large enough. My friend had the Thai chicken curry. She liked it but thought there was a lot of rice and not a lot of chicken. The service was good. The waiter was pleasant and helpful with choices. We enjoyed the meal and the restaurant. I would go back another time if I'm in the area. read more

Came here for Fathers Day dinner with my two kids and husband. I have been here a few times and the food and service is always good. Tonight we shared some apps- dim sum, angus beef, mushroom risotto and shared an entree - 11oz ny strip steak. I very thing was really good, including the bread with garlic dipping oil. The o my thing I was not crazy about was the mushroom risotto with shrimp. It tasted like strong sherry and the shrimp looked like precooked shrimp from the grocery store. The service was top notch! It is def a good place to check out once in a while. read more

Not ready for prime time. Nice people, but service is unbelievably slow for both food and drink. A glass of wine should not take a half hour; nor should a plate of food take over an hour,....or be totally forgotten ("Is it coming?" "I definitely think it probably is."....it wasn't. From the minute I walked in, and the hostess attended to her computer for long enough that I just walked around the restaurant to find my party, I was not impressed. I ordered a pleasant sounding plate of duck confit, tarragon garlic, and fried shallots. When it eventually came out, I didn't recognize shallots as the onion ring things on the plate. I tried one, and realized why they're not normally cooked this way. The duck was ok. The gnocchi were a mushy mess. I forgot to take a photo before I ate the duck, but I left the rest. I really want to support restaurants right now, but these guys have to get their act together. read more

I came here on my birthday a few weeks ago. I'm new to the area and after researching, this place sounded good. I made reservations for outside seating. They have heaters and nice sofas for seating. The server was excellent and very knowledgeable of the menu. Anything we wanted to know, he could provide a plethora of information. He knew that menu inside and out. He was very prompt bringing out food and drinks. We had some dumplings and bbq flatbread with goat cheese which were excellent. Really good portions for appetizers, I had to try to squeeze it in. For the main course I had their mushroom risotto with salmon and my boyfriend had the New York strip Steak l. The risotto was fantastic, with truffle and everything, so good. The steak was sooo big and juicy!! Excellent good. Loved it. The food was great and the server was good. I wished the restaurant tried to make some effort to make my birthday more special. I just felt like I was there like it was a regular day. I told the host beforehand when I made my reservation that I was celebrating my birthday but I don't think he told the server. But other than that it was fine and I would come back to eat there again. read more
