This place seems a worthy addition to the Edwin's empire. I've had brunch here a few times, and it's been pretty great. The one time I came for dinner, the service seemed rough around the edges. To give some examples, the food took a really long time, we eventually asked for bread, which was good and came with some good butter. But we had to ask again for olive oil, though a member of our party had previously asked for "no dairy" when ordering. The martini I ordered was good, but seemed oddly austere served with no garnish. That has to seem like the pettiest complaint (okay, I've been around enough to know it's not the _most_ petty, still), I'm not trying to overstate it. There just seemed to be a lot of stuff like that. The steak was very tasty when it arrived, at least. read more

This place no longer exists. Permanently closed. Bit a seafood restaurant opened in the spacd

I was quite shocked at the taste of the food. Absolutely delicious! I couldn't believe how delicious every course was especially because we came on Valentine's Day and they were busy. If they do another tasting course, we definitely want to come back because it not only had a great variety of dishes but also fantastic value. My favorite was the lobster croquette with the perfect tempura crunch and the lamb was so juicy and the sauce was flavorful but not overly salty. Amazing restaurant and I love the cause. read more

Came here on the day after Valentine's day for dinner. Cute little spot and we were told that it was very busy during valentine's day. The decor is warm and open. I came with a toddler and they were very kind. She even spilled water and they were very accommodating. The food was very good. I really enjoyed the butternut squash soup. The menu had a little bit of different cuisines. Glad to have tried this place. read more

I was excited to try the new location at the former Nighttown. Everything went smoothly. It was a nice touch to have the chef come to the table and ask how everything was going. I was glad to see they kept a lot of the former charm of the old establishment. I know that it's a restaurant aimed at training people into the restaurant industry, and the employees were very good at their jobs. I would add that due to them being so busy, patience was sometimes required, but if your dinner conversation is good, you may not really notice! The patio is adorable. The food was affordable and delicious. read more

Happy Hour - Main bar. Background music pleasant. Beer good. Mid-twenties bartender had loud voice and was extraordinarily insenscere but efficient. Some loud but inoffensive customers. Happy hour food just adequate. read more

Terrible Thanksgiving meal, it was over priced for something that look like it was from a gas station!

Edwins Too is a cute little park spot opened up by Edwins across the street in Shaker Square. I came here for a Sunday morning brunch, and we were able to make a reservation about 30 minutes before hand for a party of two without any difficulty. We started out with the apple crisp mimosa, which was the season mimosa. I overall thought this was pretty underwhelming and it tasted just like apple cider and champagne together, which was oddly a sour combination. I ordered the croque Madame, and even though I specified that I wanted the one with the egg, my order was put in as the croque monsieur. Luckily, the kitchen was happy to rectify my order once I mentioned it to them. Overall, I thought my food was pretty standard, nothing too special. My friend had the omelette, which was delicious but nothing to write home about. Overall, the food was pretty underwhelming, and the service was just all right. I would've appreciated if my waiter would have been able to give us some recommendations, but he didn't seem too familiar with the menu. read more

I made a reservation on OpenTable and came here for brunch on the weekend. The decor is cute and very 'brunch-like'. I will say that the tables are quite cramped together though, especially for groups of two. Our server was polite, and checked in on us once. We had to ask to get our waters refilled (our server never came around, but I saw another server consistently going around refilling water without being asked) We also waited around 25-30 minutes after ordering to get our food even though the restaurant was less than half full. Regardless, the food did come out piping hot though, which was great. We checked out the menu prior to coming but it seems like the menu was a tad different from what's stated online. We ordered: +Herbed sausage and gravy biscuit: My boyfriend really enjoyed this. It was a massive portion and super heavy in my opinion (I'm not usually a gravy and biscuits kind of girl though) I thought the herb flavor was a tad strong. Large portion, my boyfriend couldn't even finish it. $14 +Brunch burger and fries: Super yummy- the sunny side up egg was cooked perfectly as you can see in my photo. I also really liked the tomato bacon jam, which complemented the patty and egg really well. The fries were super hot and well salted-huge helping of fries is always appreciated $18 Drinks: just okay in my opinion-prosecco/champagne is pretty strong if you're more into that +Peach Bellini: not well mixed, peach purée/syrup sank to the bottom and was super sweet at the bottom $9 +Mimosa: personally would've preferred a little more orange juice, could barely taste any orange flavor at all $8 Overall, it's so far my favorite brunch place in Cleveland. The portions are worth the price and the food came out hot. I need to try those house potatoes though, they looked real crispy! I will definitely be back! read more

Servers were very friendly. Decor was really nice warm and welcoming. Unfortunately I was only able to enjoy a peach Bellini which was delicious! The woman that was expediting the food, was not wearing gloves and we unfortunately saw her literally pick up food with her hands and place it on another plate without gloves. Maybe the next time, someone else will be working here and will give it another shot. So bummed...... I am. I visiting from out of town, and I heard great reviews read more

great service. nice room. don't understand why spinach and alcohol is in every dish needs to improve dessert selection.

Came here today for a ladies' brunch. I'm a longtime fan of Edwin's and was excited to share it with friends. The decor is warm and inviting. Families, groups of men friends, groups of ladies and couples were all enjoying the food and environment today. The hardest thing for us was figuring out what we'd try. We ordered several entrees and a variety of the sides. Most of the brunch sides come from the Edwin's butcher and bakery imprints. The big winners? Lemon soufflé pancakes Corn beef hash House made gravlax Butcher shop Turkey sausage patties Bakery buttermilk biscuit Also great coffee, HUGE portions and great price point. Can't wait to return. Will definitely have the gravlax again (not overly salty or smoky with bright notes of dill) and also do the "waffle of the week". This week's was with Orange curd and pomegranate. We were tempted today but had so many options that hard choices had to be made.... read more

Tonight was opening night and it was packed!!! We were at opening night at Edwins across the square as well! Wow! While Fire was a special place for us: every New Year's Eve before and after we were married has been spent there! Now we know where we're going this year!! We chose the 3 course tasting menu and it was fabulous! Artichoke first course was sublime. Paired with a nice champagne, (as we chose that option). Second course was Veal Tenderloin with rutabaga and mushrooms.......wow! Great Morgan pairing was delightful! I'm not a desert person but the "Mille Feuille Phylo and Orange Vanilla Pastry Cream" was tasty and full of complex textures. With too many restaurants closing due to COVID, it is heartening to see a new option emerge! The Edwins model is working and it's great to see it expanded and supported!!! read more

Went here on a whim but I must say it was Great we sat outside my party of 12 for brunch. The shrimp and grits was excellent and the others loved the their lemon pancakes and my sis said the steak was good too. So I only gave a 4 star because I know they're learning how to serve but reaching over people food is not a great thing to do. read more

Came for Saturday brunch with some friends and had a wonderful time! The food was delicious and the portions were very generous, the pictures don't do them justice! The service was great too, and they made sure we all got our drinks (the guardian cold brew was hidden away, but they provided us with regular updates and the wait was well worth it!). The drip coffee was a bit bitter for my taste, and tasted slightly burnt. But overall, no complaints from me! Will be coming again. read more

Great night with friends out to dinner and live music. Drinks were fine, nice selection of beers on tap and full bar. Our meals were very good, prepared as requested. Highly recommend either steak dish or the salmon. While service is slow, remember these folks are learning and training. Worth a visit when they have live music, there is a music cover charge. read more

Amazing food! Great service, as usual. Every course was a treat. The venison was to die for. We will definitely be back! read more

As its sister restaurant Edwin's Leadership, Edwin's Too wins at life before you sit down. The mission of this institute is beyond amazing and if you can indulge in their wonderful food while helping their cause you'll be making this planet a tiny bit of a better place one action at a time. The setting is beautiful in Shaker Square and the food is delicious - we were there for a special event - the special Nazca Peruvian Gourmet Night - with great highlights of Peruvian food, but will be back for their regular fare and to continue supporting their cause. Cleveland also DESPERATELY needs more places with tasting menus and haute cuisine so I love the work Brandon has been doing in that regard as well, can't recommend this place enough! read more

I went for brunch with friends. Our reservation was for the time that they opened. We were informed they were out of coffee. That was pretty surprising but they managed to get some around 30-45 min into our meal. I had the croque madame and would not recommend it. The bread was dry toasted and lightly, had very little flavor and was cut so thick I found it hard to eat without deconstructing each bite. The bechamel was so bland and had a pasty texture. The potatoes were nicely crispy, though. read more

I had heard about Edwin's and their training programs on the local news. My friend and I had plans to eat at another nearby restaurant but they had a one hour wait so we decided to try Edwin's Too. We were seated immediately. I ordered the Shrimp and white cheddar grits. Delicious and full of flavor. She had the chosen and waffle special with spicy syrup, also excellent. They even treated us to a sample of their house made link sausage and turkey sausage. Service was excellent and friendly, prices were reasonable. Definitely going back again. read more

Wasn't sure what to expect, knew it was affiliated with the teaching establishments in the area. That can be hit or miss. Though I was severely underdressed compared to the rest of the people in there, I had a fantastic time and a better meal.

We came for Valentines Day . We usually don't go out on holidays like this but they published a really interesting menu . Our evening was a great hit. Each element in the tasting menu was perfect( and we got the recipe for the carrot soup). The staff were , without a doubt, some of the most charming people we have met in a restaurant. And yes, it was a leisurely meal. Wouldn't have it any other way. read more

Had a really nice time at Edwins Too for brunch. The food was very good. I enjoyed the Strawberry Pie French Toast and my sister had the Eggs Benedict, which she said had excellent flavor. Her eggs were cooked a little harder than she prefers, but she still very much enjoyed her meal. The service was great. The entire staff was friendly and we were pleasantly surprised when Brandon Chrostowski stopped by our table to check in with us. That was completely unexpected, and a very nice treat. We were also impressed with the acoustics of the space itself. There was so much activity going up around us and all of the tables around us were full, and yet we still were able to carry on a lovely conversation and had no trouble hearing each other. We will definitely return. read more

As we've come to know, all of the locations in the Edwin's family will be of the highest quality. Edwin's Too is no exception! The service is impeccable and the food well beyond what we could have hoped for in an exceptional brunch. Don't miss the Peach Bellini! read more

Food was okay but chef went completely crazy and started throwing stuff and yelling and cursing everyone out. It was very uncomfortable. Everyone was on edge and surprised because the kitchen is wide open. Unacceptable behavior during Sunday brunch. Shrimp and grits were good, sausage gravy had WAY too much sage. read more

I want to start by saying this review is not directed at our servers, they were so kind and apologetic for our experience. We unfortunately had a very bad time at Mother's Day brunch today. We made a reservation for a table of two at 1pm. When we arrived at 1 the entrance was completely packed with people standing around not knowing what was going on. The hostess said it doesn't matter if you have a reservation, people aren't leaving their tables and you'll get seated as soon as something's available. She kept telling people to step over to the bar area, which was tiny, and everyone was squished together. We tried to order coffee at the bar and the bartender was rude and seemed very annoyed that we asked for anything. After an hour of waiting for our table, it took another hour for our food to arrive and it was cold. We were starving at this point but we sent it back for a new plate. Our server was so nice and seemed so stressed. When I spoke to the manager she was unsympathetic and just kept blaming everything on people not leaving their tables. It seemed more like a kitchen issue to me. Between waiting two hours for average food, having it come out cold, and the attitudes from some of the employees, I can't recommend this restaurant. read more

Service was terrible staff was very rude with the exception of one of the cooks. Bills were wrong and at first they did not want to correct them. Manager was extremely rude did not want to comp a dish that was sent back. I would not ever recommend this place to anyone. Food was terrible as well. read more

We are repeat visitors to Edwins too for brunch and have previously been pleased, but today we were both disappointed. Having a reservation at 11:30 , we weren't served our meals until 12:05. I ordered the waffle with strawberries. There were only 6 squishy small strawberries on the whole waffle. I guess I expected fresh strawberries. My husband got the lemon pancakes which were overdone with a blueberry compote, which looked like pie filling. We will give it another chance but not for awhile. read more

Three of us went to dinner there. The food was delicious and great service. Not crowded at all or noisy. We could actually hear ourselves talk! In addition to a lovely dinner, we support the Edwin's concept of training people released from prison to be a productive member of society and to feel good about themselves. We'll be back and we definitely recommend it! read more

Called ahead to ensure that it was okay and told no problem as long as I was there by 2 showed up 10 till and told kitchen was closed. When said I called ahead gave 2 options on the menu to choose from. They then made us so uncomfortable we left. One of the worst experiences I ever had read more

I love Edwins and now I love Edwin's Too. The food is excellent and the staff are so attentive. Went for brunch and my friend and I were splitting a few items. We asked for just some small plates and our waiter said we can just split it for you which is exactly what they did. Everything was split up and presented beautifully. I love that this is a high-end restaurant without the prevention. My kind of place. Can't wait to try the prix fixe dinner. read more

Wow, this was a BAD dinner experience, which I'm pained to say since Edwin's-Edwin's is my favorite restaurant in town and I love the mission of the organization. We came here for my birthday before going to the orchestra. I had waited too long to make a reservation at Edwin's, but was thrilled to see an opening at 6 at Edwin's Too. So the first part of our bad experience is partly my fault: we'd never been, the website is hard to navigate and provides almost no info, so when I finally found a menu it was (spoiler alert) not actually for Edwin's Too, but for Edwin's. So we booked unaware that there was a set menu and that for our night it was nothing I would actually want to spend $50 on. So that part is my bad, though honestly, the website should clearly state what the nature of the dinner experience is. What's inexcusable is the glacially slow service. Bear in mind that when we arrived at 6, there was one other party. I asked for a minute to consider my drink order . . . and no one came back for 15-20. Our first course arrived at about 6.45 (Cobb salad should not take that long when it's literally the only first course and we're one of two parties) and our steaks after 7. At this point we were getting worried. We informed our server that we had to leave by 7.30, so we'd take the check now and take our dessert to go. She was prompt with the check, but told us the dessert wasn't ready yet. That was fine . . . until it was 7.35 and we had to book it out of there without ever getting our dessert. No one seemed to notice or care that we were leaving without one of the courses we had paid for--I had wanted to have a quiet word with the hostess, but she wasn't at her station. In sum: in 90 minutes, the house could barely get us our two simple courses (salad and steak) and never got us our dessert. The food was well-prepared, but not worth $50 a person and I feel misled about the nature of the dining experience. We have a toddler and rarely get out, so I'm crushed to have wasted a nice meal out on food I would never have ordered--and not even to have gotten all that we paid for. I'll never return to Edwin's Too and right now feel pretty sour on Edwin's as well. Dining experience = 2 stars. 3 stars only because I feel partly responsible for my bad night out. read more
