EDWINS Leadership & Restaurant Institute: Cleveland Restaurant Guide

​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.

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 👌🏽

Chef Brandon is an extraordinary human being that commands excellence and the best from all those around him. The team service made the experience even more memorable and meaningful as we were fortunate enough to encounter many different people. Afterwards he insisted on a visit to the cigar bar where the attentive nature of the staff made the evening even more memorable. Edwins is something that I will never forget. A shining example of how we can elevate humanity by removing barriers instead of building them around our own people. Thank for a night to remember.

So let's see, I had the oysters Rockefeller, lambchop, loslbster bisque, beef short rip and a chocolate pyramid. And wow everything was spot on. Delicious. Will definitely be back.
