Edibles is an upscale bistro located in the Neighborhood of the Arts. It has a full bar and mid-size wine list. The menu is eclectic, with many salads and a few rarely-seen items like duck and pierogies. Physically, Edible's occupies a narrow building in the triangular area immediately East of where Atlantic and University Avenues meet, so chances for a table overlooking one of the two streets is good.

2008-02-04 15:30:12   I was there a few weeks ago with a group from work. Everything was great from the apetizers to dessert. Great wine selection and decent beer selection. I had the braised beef in red sauce over noodles (forget what it's called on menu, something carne) and it was great. Our server was very friendly and knowledgable about the menu and specials. —MickMann

The problem?-the food. Its is very hit and miss...and most of the time its a big miss. I got sick of laying out $100 for a dinner I can make much better myself. Its a real shame because I would go there all the time if they had a decent chef. I want this to be a great restaurant but it just isn't. —JamesPatrick

2008-04-01 08:32:23   Someone recently told me that Edible's was under new mgmt with a new chef, so I went back last week to check it out. While the appetizers were a tad small, we had the black bean dip which could have easily been eaten with one spoonful, they were tasty. My partner had the salmon special, which had a raspberry mustard glaze...amazing. And I had the crab cake stuffed tilapia, which was cooked perfectly. The creme brulee had been in a fridge and just had the sugar glaze on top, which was a bit odd, but it was still delicious. I understand any restaurant can have an off night, luckily, that's never been the case for me at edibles. —MarcVera

I've always found the service to be friendly and the right mix attentiveness without the annoying "hovering" aspect. If only the food were just as good... The last time I went there was a few months ago for a friend's birthday. Despite the restaurant being empty (I'm not kidding here, there was only 1 other table filled) we waited a REALLY long time for our meals. This didn't bother me so much...it's was a celebration and we had a great bottle of wine to occupy us while we waited. When the food came out, I was shocked to find that it was only lukewarm. The chef had only 2 tables to cook for and he/she couldn't even ensure the food was hot?? Anyway, by this point I was so hungry that I didn't send it back and ate it anyway. The food was decent. Good flavors but not enough to make me say "wow". A coupon helped soften the blow for the expensive and mediocre food but I can't say that I would be willing to pay full price to eat here again soon. I would definitely go there for drinks though. One interesting and great feature: they will allow you to bring a bottle of wine from your own collection for a small corkage fee (we paid $10). —dmarie

2009-05-20 15:02:17   i love this restaurant. the food and service are fabulous (except they've taken my favorite chicken roulade special off the menu for a while). the ambiance is quiet, intimate and "homey"—great for a date. i think this is an underrated restaurant, but maybe i've just had better luck than others. —Leisel

2009-07-24 11:42:50   I went here the other night for their Thursday buy one get one drink special. While this seems like a great idea I realized after one drink that I will never go back, someone roofied me. Thankfully my friend drove me home. Don’t go here. —Mr.Stephen

2009-09-09 14:15:08   Wound up here on a recent Friday night and was very happy with the overall experience. The service was prompt ,helpful , and friendly. Thought the bar did a good job on the drinks. Entrees were a Scallop special and the Pork Loin of of the regular menu. While both were very good , they didn't really live up to their discriptions. Menu is seasonal so I am sure we will return. I would recomend trying it to anyone who hasn't. —almorinelli
