Edwins - Cleveland

The first time in Edwin's service and food was excellent. Enjoy the diverse menu elements that are different from most other upscale restaurants. The owner's commitment to community service is excellent.

Where should I start? At first, the lighting is so dark and terrible that I could not read the menu when I asked, it was told to me that it was part of the “Ambiance”. As a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, I understand what ambience is, but that was as if they wanted to hide something. What have they hidden that you can ask, it's the food. All we tasted was very bland, which would probably explain why they were salt and pepper shakers on the tables. I’m sorry if you’re in an expensive “fine dining” French restaurant you shouldn’t season anything. Crab Salat (16$ perhaps had 2 tablespoons of lump scrap, and the crab was about a day away from spoiled. The frog legs (17$ were not made, so I was left with the attempt to cut the frog bezels with a butter knife; they were not sharp, not spiced, and the fried garlic was burned and very bitter. Next was the burger ($36, I'd rather have a Big Mac from McDonald's. It was meat leaf on a bungalow and some soggy sat around for a minute “goose fat” roasted potatoes. Then we had the filet mignon (58$, it wasn't a center cut filet, I honestly don't know what the hell it was.. it looked like 2 different cuts along with meat “glue”. The foie grass on the steak was the size of a quarter, 3 small chips of black truffles, and some burned broiche toast. The appetizers were tolerable, the ducks were absolutely disgusting. And finally we had the banana patch (15$ ready table side for dessert, that was a complete disaster. He had absolutely no idea what he did, he had no banana leach to start, so he had to stop doing it when he realized that, very sloppy catching parts of the car on fire, added a lot of liqueur and not boil the alcohol. Absolutely not edible. I really hope that someone is important about this restaurant sees this because our culinary experience was terrible and their execution was an absolute failure! Shame for more than $200 for a fucking meal!

The food and the staff were wonderful. Perfect culinary experience.

Pressed Duck was one of the best meals I have ever had!!!’

Awesome staff. We loved sitting at the bar. Le Burger is bomb.
