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

Outstanding atmosphere, food and service. Nate was the best server. He knew the menu offerings so well and every recommendation he made was spot-on. All of this made for a great holiday dinner and visit to Bethlehem. read more

This is the second time we've had dinner here, and definitely will be coming back. I got the filet which was reallly good. The potatoes it comes with were amazing! Veggies on the side were ok. Everyone else enjoyed their meals as well. No complaints. Decent service. The vibe was nice. I like that it's a little fancier for dinner. read more

Excellent, unique food with very romantic ambience. A perfect date spot with competitive prices. Expect about $50 per person. Almost deducted star for having to wait 15 minutes for a table I reserved, but the service made up for it with a complimentary desert. Will definitely go back. read more

I had my daughter's rehearsal dinner at the edge. The staff was amazing, and the food was terrific. Janice, who set it all up, was more than accommodating, and I can't thank her enough for the help she provided me. Nate, our head waiter, was also spectacular. The venue was lovely, and everyone had a terrific time. read more

Not my first time at Edge but probably my last. Party of six and completely ignored by our server who did the basics but nothing else. Even after speaking with the manager, she did not check on us. We had to flag her down to get more drinks. Food took forever and then was not prepared properly. Server threw some bread at us but no check-ins once food was delivered. Manager gave us a discount but I would have preferred the Edge experiences I have had in the past. It's sad because prior experiences have been so good, both the service and the food. Not the case tonight. read more

I went to the $75 5 courses and wine pairing event. But the experience was not good. 1. During one course, the waiter tried to take my wine glass away. I showed him I still have plenty of wine in the glass. he asked if I can finish it now so he can take the glass. So I have to chuck it while he was standing next to me 2. I accidentally spilled my water during dessert. There was nobody help cleaning up or refill my water (even during the 30mins I waited for my correct bill) 3. The first check the whole table got showed $85 per person. I pointed that out to the waitress. Later they brought another check back. I thought the second check was correct after fixing it so I paid. Then realized it showed $80 per person 4. We waited for almost 30mins just for the correct check. After getting the correct one they said they will avoid the second check charge. The waitress only apologized to people next to me thanks so much for their patience, and pointed me to other customers and said "this girl found out the problem". It feels weird that I wasn't part of the customer that got the apology. I never get a direct apology or appreciation or compensation, whereas other customers got those and their coffee waiver fee as thanks for their patience. Remember my water was spilled during dessert? it was never refill even during the time I waited for my correct check, so I have to chew on ice cause I was so thirsty 5. Two days later I found out I was charged twice on my credit with the incorrect bill and the correct bill. I called the restaurant asking to fix the problem. I was angry after all the waiting, unfair treatment, and the double-charge. So I spoke with a serious tone but the manager on the phone kept accusing me "yelling" at her. I asked if she was there the night all the check problem happens, she was not. So I explained what I experienced and I was not yelling and there are problems I experienced need to be fixed. She kept asking me to understand them, and shaming me by saying "i will use a lower voice because this is how I communicate with others". There was no sense of sorry or empathy for what customers experienced at this restaurant. Objectively saying, the food was good. But I think overall my experience here was not great. I don't know why I was treated lighter than other customers. When the problems happened, I deserve a nice attitude since all of these check issues are caused by the restaurant. But during the time I tried to communicate with this manager, there's wasn't any sense that she actually feel bad of people waiting 30mins after dinner, for multiple times, just to get the correct check, or my unfair experiences. read more

atmosphere is very nyc and on the dark side 5/5 service is okay (3/5) i had the pork loin and it was great (4/5) a wine reduction would have been much better that barbeque sauce stick with wine.. my mixed drink was measured .. and poured short (2/3).. even with those little metal measuring cups. pork loin was $30 filet $50 drinks are abound $15 read more

Had 11:30 reservations for Mother's Day. At 1:30 still no food and 3 very hungry toddlers, we left after manager could not promise arrival of food. This restaurant was obviously not equipped to accommodate the demand of a holiday. read more

Edge's food is great, if a little fussy, and it's been wonderful to see how they've figured out arrangements during COVID. Pickup is super easy-- drive up to the curb and they'll bring it out to you. The food can be a little rich and I do wish they had more vegetarian/pescatarian options. Highly recommend, though, the tuna tartare and the roasted beet salad. The seasonal fish dish is always a hit, and yes, though it's rich, they do risotto right. I also love seeing Edge support the community-- they have been really generous with their space toward the Bethlehem food co-op. They are a go-to for date night, impressing the parents, or work dinners! read more

By far the worst dining experience I've ever had. Waited hours for our food and it never came. Manager offered excuses and a gift card that wouldn't have even paid for our drinks. Wasted 3 hours of my day and ended up having to stop at a bagel shop on the way home. So much for a nice Mother's Day brunch. read more

We've come here many times. I love the duck. I draw the line when we order two old fashioned's with Bulleit Rye (as we have many time in the past for $13-15) and they charged us $38. The specialty Manhattan Price on the menu is $13! Once you charge me $19 for a sub-par made drink I can get anywhere for $15 or less you've lost my businesses. Too bad! Burger used to be killer, too. Today it came out: burnt bun, under seasoned, and not what it used to be. Hope you guys just misfired... but charging that much for 2 drinks just lost you two good customers. We were hungry, so we ate the food and paid... but again... the sticker shock on the drinks, I just won't get over! read more

Dec 2023. Had the rehearsal dinner for my son's wedding here. Everything was fantastic, the food, the service, the location. Some of the staff even helped me carry in the decorations. read more

I'm sure The Edge may not really need my 5 star review but I'm leaving a 5 star review anyway! Staying in Bethlehem PA (B&B on South Side), my wife made reservations for Saturday evening at The Edge. Busy but incredibly organized. We arrived a little early ( we use NJ commute math) but they sat us after a short wait. Great table BTW! Our servers were two young ladies ( and it's my fault I didn't get their names) - one thing here is you certainly don't feel rushed. After they filled our water glasses we ordered glasses of red, and they gave us plenty of time to look at menu. Our appetizers were Tuna Tartare and Calamari. In addition, they brought some house-baked bread and EVOO. My wife loved the tuna (I tried but it's not my thing), and the Calamari was incredible. For dinner we both had steak. Don't judge. I keep to a keto diet so I'm a bit narrow in my choices. My filet was great and the sauce was A+...and the potato gratin? Mammalusha!!! My wife wanted dessert so she ordered the dessert trio. She was in heaven. Which is all I want in life. Can't ask for anything more. Thank you to The Edge. read more

Had Valentine's Day dinner here and it was just as good as I expected. Definitely make a reservation because it is a busy place with a nice ambience (soft lighting and moody decor). The pork belly and tuna tartare were the stars of the show! The spicy tuna tartare with crispy wontons is one of my favorite all time appetizers now. The red snapper entree was a bit bland but cooked perfectly. The European chicken was delicious but I wish it had more Brie cheese in it. The potato's gratin was a perfect side. Ended the meal with a chocolate cake to top it off! Sad that they were out of various items such as the cheesecake but overall a quality meal with attentive service and nice ambience! Would definitely go back and try some other tasty looking dishes! read more

Exceptional prix fixe menu for Musikfest! Reasonably priced. Great wine selection. Solid ambience! Can't wait to come back!

Amazing, cannot say enough good things about our experience here! Would definitely recommend this place. Parking is easy in the attached North Street Parking Garage. Get to the 4th level and there's a walking bridge across to the Liberty Center which Edge is located in. My husband and I went here for our anniversary. Made a reservation for dinner and ended up changing it last minute to outdoor seating so we could bring our dog. Our server was sweet and wished us happy anniversary multiple times. They also must have made a note during our call because she knew we had our dog before seeing her. She quickly brought out a bowl of ice water for her as well. That and all the little details really made our night. The rosemary and garlic in the olive oil with the bread. The chopsticks that came with the Crispy Dim Sum. The perfectly salted and seasoned Oven Roasted Chicken. They then capped the night off with complimentary champagne and dessert. Which was unexpected but definitely appreciated. Everything was so good we actually ate everything and didn't leave with any leftovers. The Oven Roasted European Chicken Breast is now my husband's new favorite chicken dish. Chicken is his favorite protein so we will definitely be back! Which we might have to make sooner than later since the Spicy Grapefruit Kombucha Margarita is just a summer special. read more

I've dined at Edge three times recently, so the 4 stars reflect a combination of all those visits (a 5, 4 and 3 star.) First time was during the pandemic with friends. Outdoor seating, appropriately-spaced, masks. Had the mushroom risotto. It was delicious, the service was great, and everything was perfect. 5 stars. Enjoyed it so much that I took the husband, who is far more discerning than I when it comes to food. This time was also during the pandemic, pre-vaccine. Too cold to sit outside, so we sat at a high table next to the bar. We were very near to the one of the restaurant's entrances, so it was a bit uncomfortable with people entering/exiting so close to us. Still, we enjoyed our meals and drinks, and being served by the bartender was quick. Third time, I don't know what the heck happened. The menu was completely different. Server said it changes seasonally, but it was so drastic I couldn't find anything that appealed to me. The drink I loved was gone, too, and when I tried to explain what it was (even give them the name of it), no one seemed to know what I was talking about. I get it, restaurants like to mix things up. But when your new menu is unrecognizable you lose the people that came back solely for the previous menu. Our server was disappointing as well. New maybe? Been there too long perhaps? Just having a bad day? She was not very attentive, couldn't answer basic questions, took way too long for service, and had an attitude on top of it. It will be awhile before we try again. read more

We traveled to Allentown to visit family, and our cousin Sharon arranged a dinner at Edge. We were a large party of 14 and the atmosphere and service couldn't have been better. Everyone's food was amazing and it came out hot and delicious at the same time, which was impressive for such a large party. We love the options of small and large plates. I highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to another visit on our next trip. read more

I'm surprised I haven't previously reviewed Edge. We've been going to all our pre-pandemic favorites and most are not what they were. A few, notably, are. We always loved sitting outside, having small plates and cocktails. Edge is where we took my family for my son's high school graduation dinner, and it was a favorite for any evening of dining out. Tonight my wife and I sat outside, had cocktails/wine. The mussels were plump. The salads were fresh and quite large. The tuna tartare might actually have gotten better and the service was as good as it always was, with the feeling you're being attended to by many and not just one. They did ask me to cut open my steak, ordered medium rare, and even before I could say something our server apologized. I never send food back, and likely would've eaten it, grumbled to my wife, and chalked it up to post pandemic expectations but they insisted on remaking it, it came out perfect. Everything food, drinks and service was as we remembered and I'm so glad to have another place on a very short list of restaurants that remain as good as they were in the before days. read more

Outstanding in all respects. First class friendly service from everyone. Shout out to Justin (I hope I got his name right!) First time here since we moved into the area and we loved the variation in the menu (small, medium and large plates). We each had a salad - my wife had the pear salad and I had the BLT (pork belly was crisp and tender). She had the 4 oz filet for main course and I had the roasted cauliflower small plate and mussels for my main course. More than enough food and all were outstanding. I especially liked the broth/sauce the mussels were cooked in so dipping the crostini (and even the cauliflower) in it made the meal. We shared the creme brulee which was done perfectly and just the right size. Dinner was a gift from our kids as we were celebrating an anniversary, so we got a glass of prosecco as a little treat to start the meal. Will be a go-to place for us for sure! read more

Nice atmosphere, good food, but a bit overpriced. The service is very good and the cocktails are great.

One of my favorite restaurants. Food & drinks are consistently good, fab atmosphere, parking garage w easy access to restaurant. In beautiful historic Bethlehem read more

I've been to Edge, 4-6 times with my family (the only reason I keep going back is because certain family members like it). The first times, the food was B-/C+, service C/C-, atmosphere D. This most recent time, atmosphere was the same. Service was terrible, top to bottom. Clumsy and inaccurate. My food got to the table as my family was finishing. Then I got an explanation from the server about how she was new (blah blah blah). Bottom line: It's the typical Lehigh Valley Dining Experience. Overrated, overpriced food. Lousy service and atmosphere. Even my family, who typically enjoy Edge, weren't impressed. Unfortunate. read more

I was traveling from out of town to visit my family and we decided to come to Edge for dinner. I must say, the environment made me feel so welcome. Our bartender Alex was such a ray of sunshine that he brought the whole experience to an entirely different level. The menu was so hard to choose from as everything sounded delectable but his suggestions were PERFECT. I went with the filet and it was an incredible choice. Alex was attentive, kind, and knowledgeable and if you have the chance to dine at his bar I would be a betting woman and say you are in for a treat. read more

I was there several months ago and the food was not good. I ordered lump crab cakes, as described on the menu and by the waiter, but it was not Lump crab. It was shredded crab and it was awful. read more

We happen to be in Bethlehem last night we decided to stop by and try out edge. The restaurant was barely full. Maybe 9 to 12 customers. We had a party of six. We were seated, and it took almost 35 minutes for them to take our order, it was an hour and 15 minutes before our food came out, and when the food did come out, it was tepid. None of it was hot. Very disappointing. And the fact that they had mandatory 20% on and you can't change that is ridiculous. The food wasn't even that good. The burgers had absolutely no flavor. I had fish tacos two in my other party had the burgers one had the risotto, almost all of the food was either cold to tepid. Would not recommend this restaurant in Bethlehem. read more

We really enjoyed our evening at Edge. We got baked Brie and risotto with beef tips for our appetizers and they were amazing! We each ordered filets for dinner and they were melt in your mouth deliciousness. And my favorite part was actually the au gratin potatoes. Soooo good!!!! Our server was personable and knowledgeble as as the menu and ingredients. We highly recommend going to Edge Covid update - curbside menu is awesome and the curbside service was prompt and excellent. Everything was packed well and we really enjoyed our meal. Thanks edge! read more

Edge Restaurant - Filet mignon and crab cake, so yummy! - New American Near Me - Bethlehem, Pennsylvania

Came for dinner on business trip. We ate inside as the patio was full. The music was a nice level, could still here and talk but also enjoy the soft music. The food was delicious. I had the European Chicken with the tarragon sauce. The chicken was moist. Coworkers had the burger with the truffle fries. The fries are thin thickness but about 1/3 inch wide. Tries one and the were very good. For dessert I had the trio dessert. The creme brûlée was cooked perfectly, the peanut butter pie was different with the pastry top. The flavors were delicious. The lemon mousse was ok, tasted mostly like whipped cream with a little lemon flavor. Coworker had the Chip-which, the cookie is oatmeal butterscotch that has great flavor but is large and easily shareable. read more

Our first visit in September was quite enjoyable - good food and even better service. Our second visit last evening started fine with attentive service. But it soon fell apart when my cut into the steak showed how quite "well" cooked it was instead of the medium-rare I ordered. One waitress took it after suggesting I eat the sides around the steak while she gets a new one. I declined to do that. After taking the steak away, she returned ten minutes later with the same plate and the same steak now cold, slit open in the center to show that if I had only eaten from the center out I would get some medium rare or at least this is what the chef told the waitress who felt compelled to market this idea to me. I said that was unacceptable. She thought I was "not nice" because I was not buying her sale of a wrongly cooked steak despite what the chef told her. I declined to have another steak or another entree as so much time had passed and my wife was already finished with her meal (crab cakes, which she says were not very good.) Don, the manager, who I knew from our September visit and a concerned gentleman, who seemed embarrassed by the situation, took care of the bill. To say the least, on a day that was important to my wife and me, we left Edge with a taste of disappointment. read more

I would really like to give this place five stars but they aren't quite there yet. For they New American edgy cuisine they are going for, they need to refine their skills just a tad more. For example, we ordered the tuna tartare which was good and had nice flavor but the tuna was cut too large. The knife skills need to be amped-up. For my main course I had the crab cakes which themselves had really nice flavor and I really enjoyed them. I thought the caper remoulade too heavy and rich for the delicate crab. The accompanying coleslaw was only okay and there was way too much of it. Finally the potato gratin that came with it, I thought an odd choice. Didn't really go with the rest of the dish but it did taste great. The dish has potential but needs refinement. We loved our server, he was terrific. I did let him talk me into their seasonal mule cocktail and I should have known better. I know I don't like them, so my bad for ordering one. I gave it away and ordered something sweeter that I really liked. Don't be ashamed to like the sweet drinks, it's okay! read more

Edge Restaurant - Crab cakes - New American Near Me - Bethlehem, Pennsylvania

TLDR: Came here for Valentine's Day and discovered it was not worth it for the price tag of $10-15 for appetizers or $20-45 entrees. I hate giving 2 or 3 star reviews and ruminated for a couple days about whether or not to post this review. I am just hoping it was a Valentine's Day fluke. They did have a special menu for Valentine's day but unfortunately I was so unimpressed by Edge's mediocrity I doubt I will be coming back to give them a second chance to try their regular menu. The atmosphere was great and the waitresses and hostess was friendly- I wish there were other positive things I could write about. I thought it was wierd that they have a large plate of olive oil front and center on the table but instead of giving a bread basket they walked around and placed a singular tiny bread roll on your plate. We got 2 sangrias (one white and one red) but they both tasted the same. The alcohol was weak and they both only had a lime and lemon wedge in it. Surpisingly, the sangria did not have even a smidgen of lime or lemon taste - it tasted more like it was made from a "just add water" instant packet. The dessert (Apple tart) was good but the accompanying ice cream tasted like Dryer's from the store. Food was subpar. I appreciated that they gave approx 5 or 6 large shrimps for the app shrimp cocktail "martini" but the shrimps were soft and not crisp like fresh seafood should be. It was also presented on a flat plate and not a martini glass as the name would suggest. I wish they gave more cocktail sauce as there was not enough to go around. It was wierd that there was a fist full of plain salad (without any dressing) on the same plate as the shrimp. The potato croquette's redeeming features was that it was crisped well and the sauce reminded us of delicious Indian butter chicken but there was only 1 croquette patty for $10. The crab cakes were mediocre and I did not like that it tasted somewhat fishy. Do yourself a favor and ask for a lemon wedge. The penne was a generous portion of bland pasta. I had to resort to asking for salt and pepper but in the end, this didn't cut it and I took over half the pasta home to season it some more. I wished they came around more often for the water service but I do like that they aren't coming to the table unless absolutely necessary. If you are a foodie or trying to impress someone, I would recommend not coming here for a special occasion. read more

The food was incredible! Loved the chicken lettuce wraps and the frites! What I enjoyed most was the service. Our waitress was wonderful and so sweet! Everyone who we came into contact with shared the same attitude. They were all so helpful and kind. I will absolutely be back! read more

Decent dinner but not as delicious as we expected. The beet salad was very salty (the manager graciously took care of our complaint). The salmon was good enough. The chicken was also adequate. Was just hoping for a better meal for the price we paid. The highlight was the creme brûlée! Service was excellent! read more

This is a cool, trendy spot. There is metered parking around or a parking garage that leads to the building the Edge is in. The service was very good and attentive. The bake Brie appetizer with the toasted bread was amazing! Highly recommend. For dinner I had the crab cake sandwich and French fries. The sandwich was huge and the fries were nice and thin. I loved the slaw that came on it and the tartar sauce (maybe it was aioli?). For dessert, I had the peanut butter pie and again, it was awesome! The food is on the pricy side, but it is great quality. I think I'd come back for a special occasion. read more

Tyler our bartender was awesome attentive and made great drinks 10/10 would recommend coming for this guy. He rocked it!

I am writing this as I sit here, completely unsatisfied from beginning to end. Lighting is nearly at club level. I live in an east coast major city and am under 35 so this isn't some old fogie complaining. Drinks taking forever despite this place being at 1/3rd capacity. Moscow Mule watered down. Rissoto was fine dining size when everythibg else that came out was standard huge american portions. Steak special was not cooked to requested done-ness. Sides for the steak special was LOADED with fried potato skins like I'm eating at an Outback steakhouse instead of a pseudo fine dining restaurant. An unabashed Millenial plopping our plates onto our area and didnt even know which plate belonged to whom. Awful, overpriced, crap service. Will NEVER return to this place. Terrible read more

It was very meh. Nothing to rave about. Service was very slow and they compensated us for that but it was just very bizarre. Drinks were not worth $13. They need to do better if they want to charge what they charge for food and drink. read more

I have been living and dining in the Lehigh Valley for 10 years and this was hands down the absolute worst dining experience I've had. I don't mind paying for money for a quality dining experience but nothing was good here except the drinks plus our bill was screwed up. The crab cakes were not good at all. They were like Mrs. Paul's quality, breading and filler, virtually no crab. For $36. The pork my Husband ordered was dry and recommended a particular side for his meal but didn't mention it was a $6 up-charge. The salmon was also dry and had no flavor. I ordered the veggie goat cheese "pizza" and it was a joke. It wasn't even pizza. It was like crispy tortillas they sliced in triangles with the toppings. They gave my kids little 7 oz kids cups and charged $3 each time they filled their cups! I payed $15 for apple juice. We ordered the baked Brie appetizer and they said "just let us know if you need more bread." It only came with a few pieces, so we asked for more bread, and they charged us for it!! Finally, the waitress said she was giving us a free piece of peanut butter pie for celebrating a birthday. Then 2 minutes later brought the check out that had a $10 charge for it. That was taken care of but then noticed there was a charge for a $14 drink we didn't order. The whole thing was disappointing!! read more
