    Wonderful! So attentive! All workers sharing in taking care of all tables/customers. Food was wonderful... we all ordered different items. A little bit too loud piped in jazz in the Brasserie. Overall it was very good time! I remember the old Nightown.... Edwin's did it justice!

    Had a very enjoyable and well-paced dinner. Everyone polite and friendly. So happy that the previous NightTown restaurant is being so beautifully utilized. Food prepared and served so nicely.

    They have been open for 11/2 weeks And are doing a fine job. Yes there are some small service issues that need corrected but I’m sure management will smooth those out. Look forward to coming back

    Edwin's move into the former Nighttown location was inspired. Impeccable French cuisine in perfect decor. The music of Joe Hunter and Evelyn Wright was sublime and made a great dining experience even better. The place was bursting at the seams but the staff handled it well. Edwin's manages to serve excellent food while serving is diners and the community. The only thing that could cause a snip of one corner of a star is the coffee at the end of the meal wasn't quite hot enough. This will not stop a return visit.

    This rating is based on the 2nd Saturday the restaurant was open. Some staff had just started, the rooms considered the Brasserie were very crowded. I am a slight person and could not get through between the tables. The food was good, although we had to ask for break and it was very dry; we did not get a chance to get butter. The servers were all great.

    Had a wonderful time! Sat in the parlor and was able to hear the live music. Great atmosphere! My daughter and I just ordered dessert and appetizers. Oh and wine. The desserts were fabulous. The charcuterie board desired much attention. Maybe replace it with a vegetable offering?

    Good food, good value, but some significant growing pains with the new location. The unusual layout of the location had the staff tripping over each other. With everything being new, it had a sense of panic from the staff rather than a sense of urgency. It will get better, but we’ll give it some time before returning.
