Do not drive past this place one more time on Kennedy without turning right onto Edison and giving this established a try! Wow! What a culinary experience! Every single dish is crafted perfectly to melt in your mouth with flavor like you have never tasted before. The star for us was the potato crusted oysters that are in the dill pickle nectar. Not kidding, this sauce was so good that we kept it on the table to dip some of our entrees in. The scallops were phenomenal but dipped in that sauce, wheww! So good! The service is out of this world. The well crafted cocktails were amazing! This is exactly the type of restaurant that Tampa is known for. It's on the pricier side but definitely worth the experience., This was our 26th anniversary dinner and without a doubt, the best overall experience yet! Our server Stephanie was incredibly versed in the menu and food preparation. Without her guidance, our experience would not have been so enjoyable! The menu is so diverse and creative, you need that great input from your server. This is a female owned and operated business and the attention to detail and customer service shine through. The manager (Brett/ Brent) sorry for that, was extremely courteous and attentive, as was Stephanie. The potato crusted oysters and yellow fin tuna were the stars of the show. Everything is made in house from scratch, even the pastries and ice creams. This was well worth the price tag and we will definitely go back again., We had an amazing dinner at Edison. The ambiance was delightful, the service was impeccable, and the food was an absolute delight. Our server Brady was very helpful in suggesting drinks and explaining the menu. We started with their grilled octopus which was really good and later decided to go with their monthly tasting menu. I highly recommend trying this month’s tasting menu – it was a really flavorful. Can't wait to go back!, Nestled at the corner of South Edison Ave and West Kennedy Blvd, Edison: Food + Drink Lab is an absolute hit. The atmosphere here is open and welcoming with the indoor dining space adorned with soothing earthy tones that was nicely enhanced by a great soundtrack of nostalgic 80s and 90s hits. The staff is incredibly warm and attentive, providing top-notch recommendations with genuine smiles. It's all truly the perfect ambiance for a memorable dining experience.
I began the evening with a vibrant "Lip Service" non-alcoholic cocktail, which was refreshingly tart, and I will definitely get again when we return.
Our appetizer spread was nothing short of spectacular. Each dish was a masterpiece of flavors: the zesty shrimp leche de tigre, the golden, crispy potato-crusted oysters (which I highly recommend), the crisp little gem salad with its salty bursts of salmon roe, the sumptuously creamy burrata cheese, and the utterly addictive roasted bone marrow that boasted a rich fusion of pork belly jam, ginger, and scallions. The tender grilled octopus, the succulent Thai five spice short rib that literally melted in the mouth, and the creamy, gently spicy aguadito de pollo soup further showcased the kitchen's exceptional skill.
The main dishes continued to impress us with their exquisite presentation and flavors. The earthy roasted hen of the woods mushrooms, the perfectly seared sea scallops (a huge hit for the table), and the aromatic za’atar crusted lamb loin were all standout dishes that left us wanting more.
Dessert was truly extravagant, each option more tempting than the last. The sage shortbread paired with strawberry balsamic compote and whimsical popcorn ice cream, the rich espresso delice with its creamy hazelnut butter ice cream and luxurious porter caramel espuma, the visually stunning cherry blossom dessert with its delicate rhubarb sake sorbet, and the decadently rich brulee butter cake, not overly sweet but utterly indulgent, were all exceptional. I honestly recommend you try them all!
For anyone seeking an extraordinary dining adventure that delights every sense, Edison: Food + Drink Lab is an absolute must-visit., Wow this place was so good! We avoided it originally because we are skeptical of seasonal menus, but man we eventually decided to try it and I regret that we waited so long!
Everything we ate was absolutely delicious!
I would highly recommend that anyone try it.
