The local rate this place 3.5 stars is about right. Given this place in the prime location with park next to it, it should be more people visit here. I think they need to work on the service and may be the ingredients quality. With that said, everything is good. This restaurant is range from high ten dollars to mid thirty dollars dish. Not really cheap. Which the customers will expect better returns. We start with lobster guacamole. This great app. We were happy about this dish. The mixture of lobster meat, imitation crab meat and fresh avocado and serve with three color chip. We enjoy this dish. My main dish is the Filet Au Poivre. I think steak can be better quality. The seasoning on the meat was excellent. May be hunger steak is better use for this dish. This dish come with asparagus and mashed potatoes. My friend dish is Seminole Short Rib. I think the short rib need to have some fat and create caramelize outwards is better. Our short rib is too dry. This restaurant has potential. May be the menu need to rework for more welcome dish. Overall still great. I like name of the restaurant Edison for the old power plant. It is cute and good name for this restaurant. read more

This is a nice place for dinner off the beaten path in Tallahassee in a beautiful and historic building on a location with a nice view of a stream in the back. Whoever did the renovation here, really did a fantastic job. I checked into the Yelp app and bingo - FREE appetizer coupon!! I ordered the Lobster Guacamole ($14) - Fresh Avocado, Savory Lobster Chunks Topped with Pickled Red Onions Served with Tri-Color Tortilla Chips that was very good and for free made it taste even better. For dinner, I had the Steak Frites ($19) - 8 oz. Grilled Sirloin & Shoestring Fries that was also very good. The service was good, the ambiance was beautiful, and the food was good. The bar looked awesome and the architecture design of this place is really nice. read more

the service was awful. We were here an hour and a half before getting our meals and they were messed up or overcooked. One meal took an extra 20 minutes to come out. Completely unacceptable which is unfortunate because I was so excited to bring my family here for graduation weekend. read more

There are very few places I've been to in Tallahassee that can compare to The Edison. From the moment you walk in the door you see smiling faces, delicious food and beverages, and you experience an ambience that makes you want to keep coming back! I personally tried every appetizer and a few different main courses and can attest that the new menu is outstanding. The wine selection was also impressive. A special thank you to Dave and Andrea for making our group feel at home at the Edison! The level of care and attention received from the staff members (that now feel like my friends) certainly played a huge role in why I enjoyed coming here so much. read more

A friend recommended The Edison so I was excited to try it. Unfortunately, the only thing worse than my service at the bar was the food. My disappointment was confirmed when I heard the ladies next to me talking about my entree. When I spoke up, they responded: "We're locals. Please don't judge Tallahassee based on that meal." I am a business traveler and will never waste my dinner stipend at The Edison again. (And did I mention I was charged a 3.5% credit card charge.... Twice?) read more

I had dinner at the Edison tonight and it was a really nice ambient environment. Driving up to the restaurant, parking was rather easy to find and really convenient as it offered a curbside pickup for easy passenger access if it's raining or if someone were to get the car while you wait. Walking into the restaurant, I was greeted with such enthusiasm that it made me feel welcomed and I personally loved the interaction. You walk in and to the left you see a wall full of Edison lightbulbs which add to the aesthetic of the Edison restaurant then further down you see a grand staircase that leads to the upper deck and restrooms. My party and I sat on the first floor and it was really nice and a great environment. Also, I found it cool that when you meet the grand staircase going up to the deck, there is also one leading you to the kitchen and I found it nice that we can see the staff making the food. I ordered the Skyward Chicken and it came with a beautiful display of chicken with a side of mashed potatoes and asparagus with some cheese on top. Everything was delicious. My friend ordered a Moscow Mule and salmon with mashed potatoes. My only complaint is that I wish they offered more side dishes if you didn't want mashed potatoes. Don't get me wrong they tasted good but they only offered two types of salads if you didn't want the potatoes. Was hoping they offered either some rice, steamed vegetables or any other replacement for the potatoes. Our waitress was very kind and constantly checked up on us and overall it was a great experience. I would love to go again. read more

Charges a 3.5% fee for credit card (won't be back for this reason) - Everyone was pleasant but the service was ABYSMALLY slow. Getting something as simple as a refill took 15 minutes. Food was decent. Atmosphere was cool. Good area of town. Bathrooms were really dark considering the place is called "The Edison." read more

Great location in middle of park with a fantastic ambience and access to a great patio and live music.

We made a reservation the week before we visited The Edison on our way through Florida. When you make a reservation you don't expect to be pushed upstairs to a forgotten banquet/storage room where 6-8 tables appeared to have been hastily set-up to accommodate an overflow of customers but we went with the flow. We ordered martinis which were great BUT they were served in wine glasses because they ran out of martini glasses. We ordered the Daytona dip which was delicious and I highly recommend. It was so good and we would definitely order it again! One of us ordered the shrimp po' boy and I ordered the fish po'boy with the cod NO shrimp but they brought me shrimp which I didn't eat. The mistake was blamed on the kitchen but I feel it's the server's responsibility to make sure the order is right before they set it down in front of the customer. The manager did take it off the menu and offered to bring me something else or give us a free dessert or drink but it was late and we were ready to go. read more

Beautiful venue, average food. My mom and I went for brunch, and we got in maybe 20 min after opening- so there were a few other guests around. But, that also means plenty of seating. For some reason our hostess puts us at a booth in the hallway right in front of the door to the outside porch, and also right next to another couple were were seated before us. Not only were were getting blasted with the cold wind (this is early January) every time the waiters were opening the door to get outside, there was no privacy bc we could hear the whole conversation of the other guests. There was PLENTY of other seating. So we move one booth up, still in the same booth row but away from the door and other couple. Food was pricey, but that was expected. We ordered the pickled onion rings as an app and they were SUPER good, very unique. It I'd a good combination of crunchy with the fry but maintains that sour pickle flavor. The breakfast tacos were decent- Edison uses the same "mexican breakfast" blend for three dishes on the menu: tacos, a bowl, and a burrito. So pick your fave. My mom got some sort of west coast Benedict, and she was really happy with it! It had a good mushroom flavor with it. I'm glad I could say I've been to the Edison because it's a classic in Tally, and it truly is beautiful, but the food is ok. If food is the only deciding factor, I won't be coming back. read more

I Remember Coming Here When I Used To Temporarily Live Here On A Business Trip. In Tallahassee, There Were Three Options For Us When It Comes To Food. Either Edison, A New Restaurant We Have Never Been To, Or One That We've To 1 Or 2 Times. And I'm Back! The View Over My Favorite Park In The Panhandle, Cascade Park, Is Amazing. Nice Service. But I Had To Wait A Ridiculous Amount Of Time To Get My Food. But The Food Made Up For It. The Lobster Guacamole Was Amazing. But The Lobster Is Basically Non Existing. It Has Still Impressed Me Though. The Ahi Tuna Tartare Is So So So Good, Flavorful, And Has The Perfect Texture. But It Should Be A Guacamole. The Sweet Potato Fries Are So Good And Blends So Well With The Chipotle Ranch. The Only Cheese Flatbread Is Quite Nice. The Edison Loaded Scramble Is So Unique, Yummy, And Flavorful. And The Grilled Cheese Taste Like A Pita Chip Dipped In Blue Cheese. Which Is Wierd But Nice Considering It's American Cheese And Toasted Bread. In Conclusion, Yum Yum Yum. read more

I love this place the food is yummy and the drj ks are spectacular definitely worth a try!

I want the experience to be great. Such a great location. From the moment we walked in it was off. Seated by a door with cold wind. Refused to move us. We were greeted by a lady telling us what they were out of. Issue with the wrong appetizer. Main dish was over cooked. The server came to take the order and then drop off the check. So disappointed. I want to love it, and have tried several times. We won't be back. read more

Love sitting at the bar when Hailey is there. She's the best and it's the perfect spot for a date night!

The food is overpriced and they take too long to bring out food. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.

So we know graduation weekend is crazy. They had a special menu which was great. When we got to the Edison the menu changed, offering a lot less food items. They sat us outside early but no one came to our table for 15 min. Finally they took our drinks and app order. And that came back in 15 min. So now it's 10:10. Still no silverware or plates. We then placed our main course orders. Simple. Pasta w chicken and Caesar salad with protein. At 11:03 the food finally came out , the manager didn't do anything about it, the pasta was supposed to be with blackened chicken on 2. The waiter asked who had the Cajun ?? We looked and on mine there was NO chicken , my other 2 kids had 1 piece of chicken. The Caesar salad came out with the blackened chicken raw. And the other had shrimp. Both raw as well. The manager was actually gonna charge us. For the apps and drinks. And I said to the server seriously!! I left $10 for the server. If you know you're gonna be busy. Then prepare for it read more

Went for brunch with my husband. It was pretty full so male sure you go early if you want to sit inside. The service was a little slow but very friendly- granted, it was a busy morning. The coffee is amazing and they also serve tea! Portions are way generous, you can definitely share a main dish with someone else. The food was delicious I especially recommend the breakfast tacos and a good walk around the grounds afterwards. read more

Pasta Carbonara was different from the last time I went the sauce had a reddish tint to it and it felt like there was too much cayenne pepper in the dish it was so so. I was a fan when they did it with a creamier based white sauce with less spice. Also the peas this time we're not cooked all the way through. The fish platter was pretty good it had a kick on the breading my girlfriend thought it was a little too spicy for her but you might like it. It was very salty. With both meals we ended up having about eight glasses of water before falling asleep. read more

Normally the food is good even though you do pay higher price for a good environment. However, don't go on Thanksgiving for the buffet. It is extremely overpriced at $65 per person and it's a very basic buffet that does not taste half as good as ordering Publix. I was shocked at the pricing for the quality of food for the price. read more

This is probably one of the best restaurants to try out in Tallahassee. I'm very big on ambiance and scenery and this place has it. The service is good and the food is amazing! I'd recommend getting a reservation because a Wednesday evening was packed! The service was a bit slow, but the food was worth the wait. We had an appetizer- the shrimp to start us off. The shrimp was banging! Both parties had the Salmon Cortez which was lovely and healthy, with broccoli and mash potatoes. I'll for sure be returning! Also, if you check in you may get a special treat! read more

This place is way overpriced, the service was terrible with the exception of the hostess, she was great. We stopped in for lunch on a Sunday afternoon and they had very few items on the menu (blamed it on a some nearby events for not having more menu items) and all of them were subject to a 3.5% additional charge for using a credit card to pay. I ended up ordering a Caesar salad $15 w/ chicken, an additional $6 charge. It was the equivalent of a side salad and a couple pieces of chicken thrown on top. 21 bucks for a side salad... The waitress couldn't be bothered with us, it was if we were a burden to her and we were wasting her time. Never came back to the table to refill our drinks or check on us. I wouldn't recommend a place that passes on a surcharge to the customer. It's a bad business practice. I see a lot of 4-5 star reviews about this place and maybe we just had a bad experience but it was the first impression. And it will be the last. read more

First time there while there for business- Monday night and not overly crowded- interstate accident caused me to call and back up our reservation 30 minutes and they were accommodating Out of the guac but I understand avocados are tough to manage especially on Monday- started with fried green tomatoes which were very good but it went south from there. Waiter had no clue about GF entrees- ordered a salad without cucumbers and croutons which he brought out w no dressing and informed us that none of the dressings were GF- I suggested oil and vinegar and he reluctantly brought some I ordered the Strip med rare and fries extra crispy- He must have thought I said extra cold and delivered them with a ribeye!!!!!! With his attitude only mildly concealed and his attention out of town I didn't bother to mention the mistake on the cut- the vegetable mix was frozen broccoli and carrots and cooked beyond death- a tough pill to swallow at $40 read more

Was excited to try The Edison after reading the website. Came in as a party of 5 at 2:15. Was told it was a 15 min wait (not bad). They seated us inside at 2:30. Sat there for 20 mins while all servers walked past our table and had nothing to say. Not even an apology for the wait and that they would be with us soon. We left considering we didnt feel welcome as soon as we had walked through that door. Very disappointing for such a cute place! read more

We were invited to dinner with friends. I have never been to Edison. It was such a nice evening. Highly recommend coming here. So many reasons we enjoyed this dinner. 1st we were able to make a reservation on the website. I really appreciated that. 2nd we were greeted by the hostess and taken care of very well by her. 3rd they had some fun house specialty drinks and options. My friends enjoyed the lavender lemonade. 4th Because I checked in on Yelp I got a complimentary glass of wine which was a great surprise! 5th the food. Yum! Everything came out hot. My friend had the fish and chips. She shared the fish and it was delicious. I had the meatloaf dinner and it was a little spicy compared to my not spicy meatloaf. It was delicious. The green beans were perfectly seasoned and the mashed potatoes delicious. My husband had the pork chop which looked huge. I was surprised my husband cleared his plate but he did eat everything and said it was perfect. 6th a little dessert can top off the night. We had cheesecake with some light raspberry sauce. It was perfect. I enjoyed this restaurant. It had a nice ambiance. There was indoor and outdoor seating. We will be back! read more

My son wanted to go there for his FSU grad dinner. This was met with so much disappointment. Such a nice venue was met with dirty bathrooms with over flowing trash and toilet paper rolls everywhere. Waited over 1 hour for the appetizer. Then another 2 hours for the 3 pasta dishes that never came. Server claimed several times that she checked to see what the issue was but never gave us a real update about what the delay was. I finally grabbed a manager and explained we were not happy and wanted to leave. They did not charge us for the drinks and appetizer and of course apologized. We were first time customers and this was a disappointing experience. It's graduation night so my thought is they should have staffed for this. Secondly, if the turn around time to get food is over 2 hours or more they should tell people before they seat them. More importantly the server should not lie and say the delay is because it's a new menu. The menu was an abbreviated menu from the full menu because I checked. So thank you for ruining my son's important night. read more

I discovered that the Edison is the upstairs section of the building (both indoors and outdoors) and the Power Plant Cafe is the downstairs section. My previous review was actually for the Power Plant Cafe. We had dinner at the Edison and they have a decent selection of drinks and food, the prices are average, but the views of the park are nice. The flatbreads aren't - they're regular doughy pizzas - but the sweet potato fries and lobster guacamole are good, and they have Proof on tap. read more

This review is only about brunch. It seems they may have better dinning options. View: The Edison is in a great location. If you sit outside you have a great view of Cascades Park. I also loved the decorations inside. Service: We had a kind waitress. There was a point where she seemed to have forgotten about us or didn't inform us of somethings that would have been helpful. However perhaps the menu could have explained the Bloody Mary wasn't going to be vegetarian. That's a small and easy fix. Food: This is where the experience fell completely flat for me. I ended up going with a wrap because it was lunch time. It is very hard to mess up a chicken Caesar wrap but this one missed the mark flavor wise and the chicken seemed over cooked. I noticed some pieces were brown as of they were cooking precooked chicken and dried it out. The overall consensus from the table was it was ok but it's off the brunch list. Perhaps dinner is better but brunch is not their forte read more

This a low rating for me. First the good: Our server, Val, was delightful. It was her first day on tables, and with the exception of spilling a glass of wine (not a big deal, more on that in a moment), she did a great job. The decor; my impression is that this building was once a generating station. The Edison theme links to electricity and the light bulb, and they did a great job. Interesting space, for sure. The food; was good, not great. Limited menu. I chose the pork chop dish, sigo opted for their signature chicken dish. Both a touch overdone, but good. The less than good. And I am willing to be convinced that I am in the wrong: Parking is really bad, and no valet option. We were seated in an overflow banquet space that took away from the experience. To be fair, they seated us fairly quickly as walk-ins, and I am sure covid-spacing made this necessary. Back to the spilled wine. Val was mortified, we were not; it happens. We moved tables and Val offered a glass of wine gratis. At the conclusion of dinner, I checked in on the Yelp app and saw the free glass of wine "coupon". I asked Val if it I could use it. She checked w Manager; I was told "that's not how it works" (the manager should have delivered the message, instead she gave it back to a first day server). They did comp one glass, and I tipped on the full amount, but I thought that was a little cheesy. So I welcome your feedback, maybe I expect too much. Had I been the manager I would have comped the two glasses we consumed. As a patron, that could tip me towards being a repeat customer, given that the food, though good, did not overwhelm. So, Food good, service, better than good, management decision making poor. I think that is fair, no? read more

Wow, what a difference a day can make. Our experience yesterday was five star, so we returned for a late dinner on Sunday. I ordered the French Dip with mashed potatoes. The potatoes (which were perfect the day before) were SO salty. And the Au Ju dipping sauce tasted like Lipton onion soup mix mixed with grease. The server did the bare minimum, forgetting to bring us pepper which we asked for. Even the drinks just weren't as good this time. Earlier today when we were visiting local friends we told them we had eaten at The Edison, and one of them responded "I'm sorry." I didn't understand why they would say that until tonight. It's a shame because we really enjoyed our lunch yesterday. Bottom line: it's inconsistent and really depends on who's working and what time of day it is. read more
