    The ambiance was excellent. The music and live entertainment was great. The chairs were uncomfortable but yet went with the theme. The food was lacking. Three of us ordered the salmon. Small piece of salmon with a few pieces of cauliflower surrounding it. That was it. We all left hungry. Server was great! The place is really cool. The honey margarita was delicious! They just need to work on their food portion size. Would be lovely if they offered biscuits and honey to start. Filler would have helped.

    Happy hour drinks and snacks were delicious and a very good deal. We should have stopped there. The Edison burger was tasty but the bun was dry and crumbly. The waffles were yummy but the chicken was over fried and dry. Would come back just for cocktail hour.

    I highly suggest this be on your place. Ask to sit near the band. My whole multi-generational family had a blast at this place. They loved the food and stayed long after we were done with our meals.

    Appetizers served quickly and were fine. Entrees took an extremely long time and when delivered were cold and not good. The manager was fantastic in addressing the issues.

    I was very excited to try the drinks at the Edison; they have an extensive cocktail list. They were very good but beware - they are not cheap. Food: We started with the deviled eggs which were very tasty. My short ribs were incredibly tender and my husband's ribs though good, were very heavy on mustard. Portion size are very large. Our server, Bella, was very pleasant and attentive throughout the evening. The entertainment which was 1920's reimagining of current music (Taylor Swift, Bruno Mars) was well done as all things Disney tend to be.

    Our waiter Dan was wonderful. Food was pretty good, nothing out of this world but the service and ambiance made up for it. Drinks were pricey but fitting for the area. I would definitely recommend for the overall experience.
