Just had a wonderful meal here! My wife had oysters (really fresh) and the ahi tuna salad with sweet potato fries. I had the bacon and (deviled) eggs and the pork chops. We split the salted caramel cheesecake. Everything was top notch. Service was impeccable. Great beer list, wine list was small, but varied. Go.

Cool vibe, good service and yummy food. Desserts are delicious. Consistent with taste and can sometimes take a while to be served. There’s also a rewards program too.

We stopped in for lunch on a random Tuesday afternoon because the building was cool, and we were hungry. We ordered two mocktails and some food. The mocktails were amazing, so we were off to a great start. We sat at the bar and received excellent service. The music wasn’t blasting, but it was loud enough to add to the atmosphere. Then our food came.

Have been to Edison Kitchen several times and am impressed with the welcoming atmosphere and vibe, exceptional, attentive, and friendly service and the most delicious food around. The tuna, salmon, muscles and salads are my family’s favorites but we love the steaks, fresh oyster bar, burgers and specials. It is so well run and they go above and beyond to make sure everyone has a great experience. They care about their customers and it shows in every detail from the moment you walk in the door to when you leave. Each time I leave, I feel I can’t wait to go back! Highly recommend.

The newest edition to downtown Bethel is Edison Kitchen, located in the historic opera house building in the former J Lawrence Downtown space. Before I came, I already knew it was going to be fantastic, since the owner was the same restauranteur behind The Foundry and Chef’s Door. The rustic-chic vibe fit the space perfectly, and I was impressed with the variety of their well-rounded menu. We went a bit out of our comfort zone with some appetizers of ahi tuna, the duck liver pâté special, and oysters, but we’re so happy that we did. I absolutely loved the ahi tuna and thought the kimchi mayo was a great pairing, and though we’ve just begun dipping our toes in the sand with both pâté and oysters, they were the best we’ve had so far. The oysters were especially very clean tasting. Unique twists, like an apple cider glaze on the salmon, a butternut squash crab cake, or Bangkok Street Noodles on an otherwise American themed menu were eye-catching and proved to be fantastic. You can absolutely taste the freshness of the ingredients, and I love the chef’s creativity. For dessert, we had the white chocolate pecan bread pudding, which was a great ending to our meal here. Though it’s a new restaurant, the staff was very well-trained and attentive with refilling our drinks and taking away dirty plates. I have a feeling when the word gets out, it’s going to be tough to get a seat here!

I was a big fan of the prior establishment in this location (J. Lawrence), and I had been looking forward to sampling the wares here for months. My mother and I finally stopped by on Christmas Eve for lunch and a few cocktails (she stopped by for just lunch; hashtag designated driver). Like its successor, there’s a pleasant hipster vibe to this place – a lot of rustic wood high-top tables with a dash of historic goodness. We called ahead of time to confirm availability and were told it had been pretty quiet. It definitely seemed to pick up by the time we arrived 20 minutes later, but we were able to secure seating pretty easily once we found a table that wasn’t wobbling and/or near a drafty window (they were very apologetic about that for what it’s worth, and those are pretty easy fixes).
