Edison James Island

Serendipity brought us here and served us well. We'd read in an earlier review that the CHICKEN AND WAFFLES was the best he'd ever had - absolutely agree with that. The CAVATELLI WITH SHRIMP was also delicious. CHOCOLATE BULB for dessert was fun and delicious. Service was excellent and the atmosphere very cool. Highly recommend.

Delightful find on James Island. Fabulous, low key vibe with friendly staff, excellent menu and tasty choices. Two apps and three entrees were all flavorful, well prepared and presented. The standouts were Fromage & Fig, Pho tacos and Chicken and Waffles. Don’t think I have ever had better chicken and waffles, so delicious. Definitely on our list for a return. Thank you Ariel for the great service.

ere was one spot left at 6PM. Accommodating our plans was not even a question- we had to sample more of the menu. As this review has turned into a small novel, I will leave you with this - we returned to that famous southern hospitality, as our server Paula received us with a hug and a heart-warming smile. We left one of our dishes for our server to decide and of course we were not let down. I asked if there was any way to create a mocktail, and they gracefully created what Paula jokingly called the triple A. We opted for a different dessert- a pear & ginger crumble, accompanied with vanilla bean ice cream per a very enthusiastic suggestion. While it cannot compare to the Edison Chocolate Bulb, a best seller for a reason, we can’t leave The Edison disappointed. If you’ve made it this far, here are my personal recommendations (based on our limited tasting of the menu): the Fig & Fromage is easily the gateway to the rest of the meal, please order the fries & ranch, The Bulb will truly blow your expectations and lastly- listen to Paula, under her sweet demeanor is clearly a foodie eager to share her flawless recommendations.

This review is long overdue. We went to Edison back in August and the dining experience was exceptional! (Maybe subconsciously I wanted to keep it for myself?) We started with the Fromage and Fig. The whipped ghost cheese was creamy and delicious and coming with fig jam, toasted almonds, honey, and ample crostini all I can say is mmmmmmmmmmm! For the main course my wife had the seared ahi tuna which came with a house-made teriyaki glaze, citrus-edamame pure, tobiko, cilantro, picked onion, jalapeño, and sesame. It was as delicious as all that sounds. (Yes I made her give me some although not as much as I would have liked after tasting it. I had the special: pan seared Chilean sea bass. This came on a shrimp cake and had shitaki mushrooms, baby corn, chinese sausage, and jasmine rice cake, all in a coconut green curry sauce. The picture actually does justice to how good it was. I've been dying to go back. Hopefully early in the new year. Oh, and as important, our server was wonderful and the price was right. Sadly, we didn't have room for dessert.
