We came here for a Date Night while on a large family trip recently and found that the Edison is a really solid spot that is not as well known as some other themed locations, but good for a unique night out.
The food at The Edison has some uniqueness to it and there are some tasty offerings. The clothesline bacon strips are a cool concept and good as a tasty snack. The entrees were solid and the drink offerings were good. I had the Edison Burger and that was tasty. I also had a seasonal apple maple cocktail, which was well balance and tasted good as well.
The atmosphere here is really cool, with some well-done steampunk theming. We were also treated to some live music which was enjoyable as well.
The biggest qualm we had with The Edison was how loud it was overall. We had difficulty talking to each other over the sound level, and were not able to even clearly hear the singers. This isn’t an issue you might run into at some “Night Club” style locales, where the music is just so loud that you can’t hear, but was more so a loudness of the space overall. It is difficult to explain, but we found it just a little struggle to enjoy the evening as much as we might have otherwise. We were also put at a table that was a bit more in the corner than we would have liked, as it was at an intersection of the bar, the main entertainment seating area, and the stairs. This was likely part of the reason for the noise.
Ultimately, with there being so many excellent places to eat and enjoy in Disney Springs, it would be tough to choose The Edison over somewhere that had even better food or even better atmosphere. While I would recommend The Edison if you are looking for the possibility of a fun night out, the food does not make this a stand out and the atmosphere detracts a bit from how enjoyable it could be.
Pros:
Unique place for a night out Food was solid and drinks were variedCons:

Dined here on Nov. 8th, 2021. I have seen so many pictures of this place, and expected it to be themed out the wazoo - but it was kind of disappointing. I was early for my reservation, and they told me I could go downstairs and wait in the bar if I wanted, so I did. The bartenders were slammed. One of them actually apologized for not being more engaging, but they were having to do a lot. The manager found me, asked how things were going - I think he could tell I was a tad underwhelmed by the place. He was extremely nice and said he'd get me a table earlier than my reservation time, and he did (by about 20 minutes!) Once I sat down for dinner service and could catch the live music, the difference was measurable. The waitstaff were attentive, friendly, and focused and the music was great. I had the Edison burger and enjoyed it. Absolutely no issues with the food I had.
Pros:
- Loved the burger - Manager stepped up to make the experience better for me - Enjoyed the live performancesCons:
- Needs more bartenders on shift, and probably expanded seating for the lounge. - The themeing wasn't terrific, and made me miss the old Adventurer's Club more than anything else.Reviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 02/08/2021

Really solid food. Cool atmosphere. Great Manhattan. We were on the dining plan and so we got dessert, which we all agreed was nothing great. Salmon was a great entree and the burgers were good.
Pros:
Really solid dinner, cool atmosphere, great locationCons:

Loved the theming of this restaurant! It’s steam punk themed! I would recommend it for couples. This restaurant does turn into a cabaret in select nights and does have a dress code and age restrictions on those nights.
Pros:
Theming, awesome drinksCons:

We have eaten at The Edison at least three times, and thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Their burgers and fries are excellent. I had the fried chicken, which was good, not great, but still a good meal.Love the wide open spaces, have never felt cramped. Service has been excellent.
A few reviewers have tried to compare this to the old Adventures Club. This is nothing like that, and is not intended to be like that. We’ll be back in October, and will most likely go again.
I will mention again, our various servers have been excellent. Meals were hot and served promptly. Have gone there with and without reservations and have never had more than a few minute wait.
Pros:
Great burgers and drinksCons:

We've eaten there twice at lunch and had a great experience both times. No waiting, everything was clean, waitstaff was pretty good. Our meals were good, maybe a bit overpriced but good. atmosphere is cool and has a steampunk type of vibe..maybe lunch is a bit different but we will be going back again!
Pros:
Atmosphere, no wait time at lunch, good food (organic tomato soup was great)Cons:
maybe a bit overpricedReviewed by MFS Review Date: 04/14/2019

My husband and I tried this place for lunch. We arrived right when they opened and were able to be seated without a reservation. The decor was very cool, and the space was very wide open. They were able to make me salad, and my husband enjoyed the turkey club (which has cranberries in the bread, but that was not on the menu). Our meal was entirely satisfactory, although not somewhere we are jumping to try again.
Pros:
Tasty food, cool decorCons:

Had drinks a few weeks ago, early 5/18, and stayed for the music. Overall it was good. I went in cautiously optimistic, having heard it had a vintage vibe, and dancing. The good: the drinks were excellent (nice and strong), and the atmosphere was very industrial chic. Not my favorite, but it works. Service was good. The band began playing around 9:30, and started off great. Mixing classic swinging tunes, with post-modern jukebox stuff. As the night went on though it went downhill. I was hoping very much to dance, as I'm an avid social dancer, but no one seemed up to it at first. I finally got a hostess to dance with me, who knew how to follow - thank goodness! I was also able to coax one or two ladies to dance, but as I said, as the night went on the music got worse, just louder, and more and more raucous, and less swinging. By midnight, I couldn't take anymore and left. They've got a good thing going, but seem to cater to the drunk "bump and grind" type crowd, rather then those who'd actually like to dance. Also the floor was terrible; ultra-hard concrete! Overall I guess, I'd recommend it, but with some reservations. This place could be GREAT, but they definitely have some work to do.
