My experience at EDELWYSS was outstanding. Impeccable service. I loved the comfortable booth seating. All the food was delicious. I was so full after starters and main course but just had to try the Toblerone mousse. Can't wait to go back.

Great place to lunch for new years with a big group. Real authentic Swiss food and amazing service by Mark and his staff. Building a little unassuming but interior is spectacular. The kids and adults were all very pleased across all parts of the menu from entrees to deserts. Will be back.
