The Edison

I was on a quick trip to Milwaukee.
I ran into this restaurant after trying to get into 1 or 2 others up the street that were booked with reservations.
But things happen for a reason because I just don't think I would have enjoyed those places as much as I enjoyed The Edison.
Great atmosphere - well designed restaurant with a real sense of your being in a place where they were going to provide you with a top-notch dining experience.
I was not disappointed.
My waiter was great - got our orders right and brought them out in a timely manner.
Additionally, the food was delicious.
It was an all around treat to be there.
If you want to treat yourself to a great dining experience go to The Edison.

The Edison is truly one of a kind.
When you walk in it feels like you are in a different era.
The food options are unlike other places I have tried.
I got the cauliflower steak and I will say it was the best I have ever had.
The one thing I think it was missing was break or some kind of appetizer like other places I have been to.

Went here for the first time on Saturday.
I was able to quickly make a reservation online prior to arrival.
It was brunch and had a steady crowd.
I would not call it busy per se.
We ordered 1 appetizer and 1 entree to split since we had a dessert tasting an hour later.
We ordered right when we saw our waitress since we knew we had somewhere to be.
Our appetizer came out within a few minutes.
Then we waited...
and waited...
and waited...
for our entree...
it took 38 minutes for our chicken sandwich with fries to come out.
We had to literally scarf it down bc we had to make it to our plans.
The food tasted okay but not good enough to wait 38 minutes for...
it also is quite expensive for wait times like this.
The chicken sandwich had a little sauce on the bottom bun, which you can't really taste bc it gets all soaked up by the lettuce.
As you can see in the photos, the top bun was completely dry.
We ordered bacon to put on top of the sandwich...
which did make it taste pretty good.
We also asked for every sauce to put on there, too.
It was an okay 1 time experience.
It's not worth it for the wait times and cost to eat there.
Was really hopeful this would be a great experience...
sadly ...
it was not.
3 stars bc the food wasn't terrible.
The appetizer portion was T I N Y as well...
