The Edison - Fort Myers

My wife and I, with another couple, paid $39.99 per person for Easter Brunch on 04.16.17. While the service was somewhat adequate, the quality of the offerings was extremely poor and limited for what we were paying. We half-expected custom omelets, eggs Benedict, salmon locks, a variety of breads, cheeses and meats. Instead, we got scrambled eggs, shriveled breakfast sausage, greasy bacon, roasted baby potatoes, vegetables and some fruit and salad. The carved prime rib was substandard and the ham was overcooked. Desert looked like it was bought in bulk at Costco's except for the canoli which were filled basically with a mix of sugar, flour and corn starch. When asked what beverages were being served we were told that they had endless mimosa or **** Marys. W e opted for mimosa but it was made from concentrated orange juice with barely a note of cheap sparkling wine, plus we only found out afterwards that it was extra $12 per person). Our bill added up to almost $140 per couple for what we could have had at a local diner for under $30 per couple. A total rip-off as far as we were concerned. Certainly not up to standards or expectations for a restaurant that hangs onto a great name for respectability but falls far short of its branding. We will never go there for a special meal again.

First time there and was very impressed. Great food that was reasonably priced and the service by Maria was excellent!! Will definitely be back.

Very disappointed. Service was terrible. Worst Pot Pie ever. Patio needs updating.

Our first time and not impressed. I didn't expect lunch for 3 ladies to be in an area of the bar where men were playing cards right next to us. The table was far too large for 3 (half circle leather backed booth type). One of the worst **** Marys I ever had and very small. Atmosphere was somewhat dark and dull. Did not feel like a Florida country club at all. Service was average and so was the food (although large portions). Waitress was very patient as we were talking quite a bit (had not seen one another for over a year) and not ready to order. While we were still eating, though, and no one nearly finished, she asked us if we were ready for dessert! No...not ready at all.... Not a special lunch as we had hoped for. Disappointed . Might give it a second chance but in no hurry to do so when there are so many other choices for lunch .

Food was ok, maybe a little overdone. Server Jess was awesome fast and great attitude. Disappointed that the website shows specials that they no longer have. In fact, we picked The Edison because of the daily special. We probably would go back
