Edwins is a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend it. The food is prepared to perfection and the atmosphere is cozy. That former incarcerated individuals are hired to train and work in the culinary arts is a fantastic public service and worth others emulating.

We had the seven-course tasting menu plus an extra dessert, and it was fantastic. There was great live instrumental music for most of the evening, which made for a really enjoyable atmosphere. Our server was newer and a little nervous, but they did a great job, and management checked in regularly to make sure everything was going well. I really appreciate the mission behind this establishment and the opportunity it gives people to rebuild their lives and careers. The food was top quality, especially considering it was prepared by students in training. If you are someone who expects every detail to be absolutely polished and perfect, this may not be the place for you. But if you appreciate the mission, enjoy supporting people learning and growing, and can be a little laid back about small imperfections, it is absolutely worth trying.

Came with 3 friends for the Sunday brunch buffet. Parking was easy and service was warm & welcoming. Our server (Alex) was attentive, and made sure our visit was memorable. The staff made us feel like we were amongst friends, from the kitchen chef, the carving station chef, the bartender, the waite staff, and management (who all came over to our table to introduce themselves at some point). Myself & my 3 friends all work in corporate America in a service based industry, so the excellent service did not go unnoticed by us and was greatly appreciated! We will definitely be back. 10/10 would recommend 👌🏽

We’ve been to EDWINS’ original location before and decided to give the new space a try. The new location is beautiful, elegant, and very spacious. While we visited for a "date night" dinner, it would clearly be a great location to celebrate a special event. Logistics: They have made things very easy here. There is a parking lot behind the building, and they also offer complimentary valet service at the front. Food: We started with a few cocktails and the butternut squash soup, which was a seasonal highlight. For our main dishes, we had the Pappardelle with Oxtail and the Potato-wrapped Sea Bass—both were flavorful and prepared perfectly. For dessert, we had the Beignets and the Soufflé (you know a restaurant has confident and skillful chefs when they put a soufflé on the menu). Just a heads-up for future diners: the soufflé takes a little time to prepare, but it is definitely worth the wait! Service: We interacted with multiple people during our visit, and the service was truly outstanding. I can’t stress enough how great the team was. The servers did an incredible job; they were attentive, professional, and made the entire evening feel special. It is easily one of the best service experiences in Cleveland. Mission: On top of the great food, it’s wonderful to support such a mission-driven restaurant. Combining high-end French cuisine with their work providing leadership training and second chances makes for a truly unforgettable meal. Overall, EDWINS remains one of the absolute best dining experiences in Cleveland, and the new location has only made it better.

Enjoyed the OSU-UM "tailgate" party! The event was very well done as they always have been at Edwin's, in my experience. Food was great. Drinks were great. Place was well decorated games with a DJ plenty of TVs. Nothing more to ask for. Very reasonably priced in my opinion.
