We recently had a lovely double-birthday birthday dinner at Edison. After a round of rather tasty cocktails, we tried everything from the oysters to the octopus (devoured before we could get a picture) to the little gem salad. Between the duck breast and the Iberico presa, the pork was the decisive winner of the mains round. Definitely recommended if you're in the Tampa area. I know we'd be back, minus the living in Atlanta and we were just in town for a wedding thing.
It's been two years since I dined at Edison. The quality has definitely improved! There's a surprisingly large beverage list, including a decent wine selection. Atmosphere is more casual, which is nice for a restaurant serving upscale food.
The price point is a little higher so one might as well try the $85 five course meal to explore the chef's palate and gamut of creativity. (Maybe next time for me.) The a la carte menu is approachable and shareable. Too many menus in Tampa are based around plates for one. My son and I loved the octopus dish with its bright yet warm flavors. The duck, although overdone to a medium/medium-well, was also very flavorful.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars for service. The guy at the bar with the long beard is obviously a passionate hospitality worker. Managers are very present with a lot of table touches (but not overdone).
Recommend reservations as they seem to fill up quickly.
This is the kind of food that makes you dance in your seat. This chef is a sorceress of flavors. I highly recommend trying their weekly rotating Watercooler Menu, tasting menu and season regular menu. You can’t go wrong, it’s magic.
