We went to Edgemar last Thursday for a friend’s birthday dinner, and unfortunately, it was a huge disappointment—especially compared with our previous visit in June.
We had a 6:00 p.m. reservation, and when we arrived, the restaurant was almost completely empty. There was only one other couple dining, and even as the evening went on, there were only about two other occupied tables. The whole restaurant felt unusually quiet and lacked the lively atmosphere we remembered from our last visit.
We brought our own bottle of white wine and were told the corkage fee was $35, which was perfectly fine. We asked that the wine be chilled. About 30 minutes later, it was brought back cold but not really chilled, so we eventually asked for the bottle to be placed in ice.
There was also confusion with the menus. We were initially given different menus, and when we were ready to order, we were told one of them was not the correct menu. The actual dinner menu was surprisingly limited—only around three appetizers and roughly six entrées. It was noticeably smaller than the menu we remembered from June.
We decided to order a cheeseburger and have it divided among the four of us as an appetizer. It took about 45 minutes to arrive. For our entrées, we ordered the salmon with broccolini and sauce. Unfortunately, the salmon was very salty and dry, which was disappointing.
The biggest letdown was the birthday celebration. When we arrived, we mentioned that we were celebrating a birthday and were told they would make something special for the birthday celebrant. At the end of dinner, however, we were told they had no desserts at all. Instead, they offered a complimentary cocktail. Our friend asked for a chocolate martini, but they couldn’t make that either, so she settled for an espresso martini.
We were also told that the restaurant was going through a change of ownership and that menus were being reprinted. Later, when we asked another staff member about the new ownership, he seemed unaware of any change. The mixed information added to the overall strange experience.
Even small things made the restaurant feel less maintained than before, including the restroom not having toilet seat covers.
We stayed until around 8:30 p.m., and the restaurant remained nearly empty. Between the very limited menu, slow service, lack of dessert, food quality, and overall atmosphere, it felt like a completely different restaurant from the one we visited in June.
Sadly, what was supposed to be a nice birthday celebration turned into a disappointing evening. We had enjoyed Edgemar before, which made this experience even more surprising. Based on this visit, we would not return.
