**Review: Solid Steak Dinner at The Edison**…read more I had a pleasant dinner at The Edison recently and walked away satisfied, especially with the food. Service was just okay--nothing terrible, but the appetizers definitely took longer than expected to come out. That said, our server was genuinely good: friendly, knowledgeable, and checked on us at the right moments without being overbearing. The appetizers were worth the wait. Both the fried green tomatoes and the crab appetizer were excellent--fresh, flavorful, and nicely executed. For the main course, the steak was spot-on: tender, well-seasoned, and cooked exactly as ordered. The potatoes that came with it were also really good--creamy and tasty without being heavy. We ended the meal with the bread pudding, and it was one of the best parts of the night. It was done perfectly: warm, moist, and full of rich, comforting flavor that didn't feel overly sweet. All in all, The Edison delivers on the food front. If you're after a reliable steak with some standout starters and a strong dessert, it's a solid choice. Ambiance was good, love the historic building. I'll definitely be back for the steak and bread pudding. Recommended!

Stylish spot with quality food and drinks!!!!!!!!…read more The Edison offers a pleasant dining experience with a modern, inviting atmosphere. The food was well-prepared and flavorful, with a menu that balances classic favorites and creative options. Portions were satisfying, and presentation was thoughtful. The space has a lively yet comfortable vibe, making it a great place for both casual meals and social outings. Service was friendly and attentive, though it slowed a little during peak times. Overall, The Edison is a solid choice for good food, drinks, and ambiance. With slightly faster service during busy hours, it could easily earn a full five stars

Power Plant is cute little cafe underneath the Edison, located at Cascades park. It's a place I…read morefrequent on my days off, and last week was my first time dining there since their recent menu flip. That morning I ordered one of my favorites, the lox bagel. I didn't realize that with the new menu changes, ordering a lox bagel meant all assembly required-- by the customer. I received a plastic to-go box with a toasted bagel, a ramekin of cream cheese, a ramekin mixture of capers and onions, and smoked salmon wrapped in a deli sheet. I was puzzled and asked for clarification from a sales associate, as the order was not to-go. I want to stress the fact that there was no negligence whatsoever on the part of the employee-- she's great and always makes my day when I see she's working. However, I find it to be quite a bizarre policy to require a guest to construct their own sandwich. Part of the reason people dine out is to be cared for and have a stress-free morning. It was also a waste of plastic cutlery, as I used a single knife to spread cream cheese and tossed the unneeded fork and spoon. Now while I am proud of my sandwich build and the flavor was good, I was left with fingers that smelled like salmon despite washing my hands multiple times. Not exactly what I was hoping for at 10 am on my day off from working in a restaurant. I understand the fine details of menu flips can be a bit clumsy at first, but I hope management receives this feedback and reconsiders this self-assembly method. I love this place and the atmosphere and staff. The lox bagel experience just didn't hit the mark for me.

A truly 5 star experience!!…read more This is a fantastic eatery! Full outside patio, huge inside bar, decor that just screams class, and flavors that will have your taste buds slapping your brain to wake up! Our service was outstanding.. always on the spot and always a very kind soul. The food was expertly prepared and the flavors were pure artistry! From the bread... ohhhh the bread (moth watering in memory), to the main course (a delectable risotto)... to the works of art they call desert! Everything was perfect! The carrot cake was divine! The chocolate tree was a tiramisu and everything was edible... down to the rocks! The ball was a chocolate sphere with mouse inside that they melt open with hot chocolate... pure decadence! This is a must try if you're even close to the area. You will not regret it!! I promise you!

Came here on a Friday night without a reservation. Only seating available was outdoors but it was…read morejust too hot. However, there were 3 chairs at the lower part of the bar inside so we took those. Service was very good and a manager did make a point to check on us. Food ordered was the Bang Bang Salmon bites - pretty good but very light on the sauce, Cranberry Blueberry salad with Salmon bites added - very tasty and large portion, Tofu Stir Fry which was very good (according to my friend) . The house red wine was very good at an average price. However, I ordered a Knob Creek Manhattan which was tremendously over priced! $18 + plus an upcharge for Knob Creek so it was $22 if I remember correctly. I've seen this in a few Tallahassee restaurants and can't understand how these prices are justifiable, hence the 3 star rating. Happy hour drink prices are only available Mon through Thurs. Recommend a reservation on busy weekend nights!

We visited Hayward House Bistro for brunch on FSU Parents Weekend, September 2025. That Sunday…read moremorning the wait list was in effect before the restaurant even opened. I managed to secure a nice table with not even a 25 minute wait thanks to a very courteous and professional manager (thank you, Steve!). At the table, everything was clean, shiny and the server was prompt despite a very busy morning. The crowd, obviously, seemed to be mostly college students and parents. I'm pretty sure during the week it's the Capitol Hill crowd. The food was tasty and really hit the spot. Coffees fresh brewed all around, of course. We started with the Breakfast Poutine for appetizer which was hearty and all enjoyed. For entrees, two Southern Benedict, the Waffle Flight, scrambled eggs and bacon. All the food was cooked to order, presented nicely and the taste exceeded expectations. Also, kudos to our Server, Jose. We'll likely visit again and enjoyed the meal. The ambience, flavors and service professionals were great. I should also mention parking in this area can be challenging so take that into consideration. Do make a reservation or arrive early!

We chose Hayward House to celebrate our son's graduation from Florida State University and made a…read more2:15 pm lunch reservation for 6 people because the ceremony was at 7 pm. We drove to Tallahassee that day, but unfortunately got caught in heavy traffic due to President Trump speaking in Sumter County near The Villages. As Soon as we realized we would not make our reservation, we called the restaurant to explain the unavoidable circumstances and asked if there was any way to move our reservation to another time that day. Initially, we were told no, so we canceled the reservation. Shortly afterwards, the restaurant called back and informed us we would be charged a cancellation fee of $ 150 - $ 25.00 per person. I completely understand having a cancellation policy, however, charging $ 25 per person for a lunch reservation during unavoidable traffic circumstances felt excessive and unreasonable, especially after we proactively called ahead. What was even more disappointing was the complete lack of flexibility or compassion during an important family milestone. I explained repeatedly that we were desperately trying not to miss our son's graduation celebration and were even worried about missing the ceremony itself because we were stuck in traffic. I asked about every possible alternative- a later dinner reservation, appetizers only, or even moving reservation to another day. Ever request was denied except for a 4 pm slot, which still was not realistic given the traffic situation. What upset me the most was not just the fee itself, but the unwillingness to work with us. A more customer focused approach could have been allowing the $ 150 to be applied toward a future visit. Because of this experience, my family will NEVER dine at Hayward House, and I would NOT recommend it to other FSU families celebrating special occasions.

Everything we ordered, from the massive Uptown pancake to the perfectly cooked sunny side up eggs, was absolutely delicious. The service was quick, friendly, and attentive, which made the experience even better. What really stood out was how accommodating the staff were with my mother's food allergies. They took extra care to make sure everything was safe for her, which we really appreciated. We chose to sit out on the patio, which was nice overall. The repetitive sound of the pedestrian crossing signal nearby did get a bit annoying after a while, but that minor detail didn't take away from an otherwise fantastic brunch outing. Highly recommend!
