We love trying a little something from each vendor starting with drinks at the Pharmacy Bar. These drinks are always made with care, unique and taste so yummy. Next, we walk around and decide which 3 places to go to, one being Scratch ice cream of course to end the night. We got 6 empanadas for $18 at the Capybara cafe and my favorite was actually the vegan empanada, with potatoes and veggies in it. We then shared two sushi rolls. You can't go wrong with what you order. The customer service at Awi Sushi is by far the best and they make great rolls! Ending the night with Scratch ice cream, rounds out the experience and is so tasty and I recommend getting a smaller cup than you think, they are very generous!

Consistently busy over the years and for good reason. I've been here a few times and I've never been disappointed with the service or the food. It's a dark, cozy little restaurant bar but with so much character and history. Service is friendly and efficient. I love that the food I've ordered here has always exceeded my expectations with the seasonings and quality of ingredients used. Reasonably priced too! If you don't have a reservation, you may end up waiting for a table in the back area at a high top but it's a great opportunity to enjoy one of their great drinks in the meantime!

As visitors from out of state, this was the very first restaurant we visited and unfortunately it…read moreleft a terrible first impression. We quite literally came here straight from the airport. To make matters worse, we had not eaten anything substantial all day and had actually looked this restaurant up weeks before our trip while researching places to eat the infamous Wisconsin fish fry, so we were really looking forward to the experience. The experience started off poorly when our party was essentially scolded by the hostess for sitting at a table that apparently needed to be cleaned for the wait list. To make matters worse, the busser laughed and joked that we were "in trouble," to which I could only respond, "Sounds like it." Not exactly the welcoming atmosphere you'd hope for as a first time visitor. The fish fry was decent our tab came out to $150 for 5 people, but the service was absolutely subpar and our tip reflected that. We also had to send back two drink glasses because they were dirty one still had lipstick on it, and another had food stuck to the inside of the glass. Overall, this was a very disappointing dining experience. Between the unprofessional treatment, lackluster service, and cleanliness issues, I would not recommend stopping here. There are plenty of other restaurants worth trying instead.

Tater tot poutine Nothing special with this one either. The tater tots were just like the ones I get from Aldi. Edison butter burger But things got better with the entree. The burger was very nice. Loved the double burger, perfectly seasoned and cooked to medium. All the toppings complemented it very well, and the fries were also awesome. Flat iron steak sandwich I loved the seasoning and how light pink yummy it was. I asked for the buns to be taken out, and a little extra greens instead, and ended up eating it kinda like a salad, but it was delicious. Flourless chocolate cake We ended up taking the desserts home because we were too full. The chocolate cake was right on the spot for me - not too heavy as some of these flourless cakes can become (more like mousse, which I'm not too keen on). Lemon ricotta cheesecake Light yet packing a punch. This was so good. Overall, a very very nice experience. I have overlooked The Edison thus far - I think i've been to all the other places around the block for this place for some reason. I'm glad we tried it this time. Will definitely be back!

There were several servers hanging around and it wasn't clear where I could order. Sat at the counter and was ignored for 5 min. The server came over and told me to go to the deli area. It was a challenge to understand the clerk. A quart and pint of soup with a bagel and lox was $40. While I waited i read recent reviews and was alarmed. What happened to the best Jewish deli in our area? The lox tasted very fishy, like smoked fish. Unlike any lox I'd ever eaten. I asked for capers and regretted it; there were so many and with only the tiniest shmear of cream cheese, it was inedible. Too salty to be edible. The bagel was ok, but couldn't eat much of it. The chicken soup with mishmosh also disappointed. The lid was swimming in grease. I discarded it carefully. There was 1 matzo ball (ok), tons of noodles (meh) rice (ugh - underdone and inedible) and a kreplach ( I had to spit it out - filling was rancid and sour). The broth was tasteless and unseasoned. What happened to Benji's? So sad.
