We decided to have dinner here before making our way back home. For appetizers, we started off with the DB ‘Clothesline Candied Bacon. The presentation alone was fitting to the name of the dish. It was an actual clothesline of candied bacon that was we tossed with black peppercorn. The drawback here was the price of the dish ($18) for the amount of bacon you receive— a total of 4 strips. However, the flavors hit your taste buds just right! We also had their Fried Calimari which came with a yummy aioli dip that was delicious and a generous portion for the price. Our entrees were the Organic Tomato Soup and Gooey Grilled Cheese and the Bartolo Short Rib. I was disappointed with the tomato soup. It was watery and lacked substance. It had a balsamic flavor that made it quite acidic. I didn’t bother to send it back because the grilled cheese somewhat made it up for the disappointment of the soup. True to its name, the gooey grilled cheese was just that. You can taste the different cheeses between two slices of yummy, buttery toast. The Barolo Short Rib was cooked to perfection and tender as well as flavorful with the au jus over the fluffy mashed potatoes. My husband was tempted to order another plate from how good it was. Last, the ambience of the Edison gives you speakeasy vibes. It’s very warm and intimate and doesn’t seem like a tourist trap like most restaurants in the area.

Great place, love the decor and the entertainment. I don't love $29.32 for two glasses of Cabernet.

Amazing food, live music, atmosphere, and server! Would go back if we had more time on our trip.

The atmosphere is really cool, very industrial and 1920's. The cocktail we got were very, very good and our service was great as well. We split a fries appetizer, which was also pretty good and fed three adults fairly well. The reason for my rating though...the prices! I understand this is Disney Springs, but for 2 cocktails, a beer and fries the bill almost $70.00. The cocktails were great, but very overpriced if they do not include top shelf products. Not sure why everything is so up charged but I hope its to pay the wait staff well...

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Questions & Answers

Is there a dress code? I see photos with people dressed up and others with skirts and t shirts.

Ilene Guido | Sep 22, 2020
Taylar Hart | Sep 22, 2020

No dress code, some people dress up because the atmosphere is definitely more sophisticated, some are casual since they're close to the parks. Dress how you feel comfortable 😊

Does the general public get to dance? It seems like in every video I watch it's only the workers/professional dancers out on the floor.

Audrey Hicks | Sep 23, 2018
Nastasia M | Sep 23, 2018

Yes, there is dancing. Every 30 minutes professional dancers come out and swing a couple of cool moves on the dance floor, but other than that there is dancing. Have fun!

What are the age restrictions during the week and weekends?

Sam Piel | Sep 23, 2018
Ryan Chua | Sep 23, 2018

Before 9pm there isn't any age restriction. But after 9 the place becomes a club so only 21 yrs old and above are allowed in.

Ismael Grau | Sep 23, 2018
Chris Kotcamp | Sep 23, 2018

Casual as stated however after 10PM you may see some people come a little more dressy since it turns into dancing downstairs. Not like a full club scene but they get love music and a few people who do some dancing.

Brittany B | Sep 22, 2020
Cath Mc | Sep 22, 2021

Yes. We were there for a 6pm dinner and they had live music. They had a female trio that did today's music in a roaring 20's fashion. They were pretty good. There is a setup for a band that probably plays later in the evening.

ann Loundy | Sep 23, 2018
William Fenton | Sep 23, 2018

Make sure you go to the Edison website, not the Disney Springs site (DS site is out of date for the menu). It also explains it better.
