What People Are Saying About Edison's

In Short – The bar action peaks on Thursday nights, when 220 hops with singles attracted to the witty decor which pays homage to the light bulb (it was once an electric company office). The menu includes a signature 14-ounce bone-in filet mignon, and several contemporary Italian dishes. Head downstairs to the lounge, Edison's, for live music, upscale drinks and cigars.

Great Neighborhood Bar & Restaurant ... Intolerable Hostess
by BeeHamm
We love 220 and eat there somewhat regularly ... I'd say twice a month. The food is great and the wait staff are all friendly and professional.
We've enjoyed many of the fish dishes, chicken with artichokes, the risotto ball (plural--citysearch won't let me write this word) are amazing and I love the tomato and mozzarella salad. Recently we had desert and both the cheesecake and the tiramisu were mouth-watering.
The wait staff are always friendly and helpful, and exceedingly professional. I like the noisy, amiable ambiance of the place. It feels like a warm, busy neighborhood restaurant.
The hostess, however, practically ruins the place. She never greets you with a smile. She acts as though your presence is an imposition on her time at the podium. She looks down at you over her glasses, perched on her nose, and will ask: "Do you have a reservation?" as though if you don't, you're an idiot.
Even when the place is empty.
We were there early one night and it was rather empty. We asked to sit by the windows as it was a sunny day. First she sat us by the door, then, when we asked to sit away from the blustery door and closer to the middle, she sat us all the way in the back in the dark, and gave us a look that could freeze for asking for a better seat at all.
We go here regularly, so believe me, she was not having an off night. We have discussed not returning to 220 just because of this rude woman.
I'd like to find out who the owner is and write a letter.
If you're lucky, you'll go to 220 on a night that the hostess is off.
- Pros: Great food, great waitstaff
- Cons: The hostess is so rude it's offensive

Just Right
by zeldaesther
Went last night for our anniversary. We wanted to try something new. Boy, am I glad we did!! Everything was wonderful. The 220 Minestrone and Lobster Ravioli were outstanding. The Perch on Risotto was great. In fact I could easily do the Asagio Risotto with some broccoli and be totally happy. The Creme Brulee was perfect . I can't wait to go back. The place is a bit loud, but I didn't find it a problem for private conversation.
- Pros: Wonderful food. Helpful staff
- Cons: Kind of loud
