"A friend of mine was in between choosing a spot to have her birthday dinner and she ultimately ended up choosing this place based on their drink and dessert menu. For drinks we got, bites the dust, permanent vacation, and style grace. Both of us agreed that out of the three drinks, style grace was our favorite, hands down. We decided that we'd come back just based on this drink alone! After browsing the menu, we decided to order the lamb ribs, Turkish manti, and the agnolotti to share. The lamb ribs were okay, a bit more charred than what we were expecting. The Turkish manti was good, we loved the sauce, it paired nicely with a side of bread. The agnolotti was okay, lighter than what we had in mind. For our main entrees, my friend got the half-roasted chicken, while I got the Iberico pork chop. We also ordered the potato puree and heirloom carrots as sides. My friend said that unfortunately, her roasted chicken was a bit on the drier side. I thought the pork chop was good, had a nice crusting on it, and it wasn't dry which is always a plus, but I didn't care for the accompanying sauce. The potato puree was probably our favorite, it's hard to go wrong with potatoes and cheese, the consistency was just right, not too mushy. My friend said the heirloom carrots were okay, but I ended up really liking them and I usually don't like carrots. For dessert, we ordered the strawberry freezecake and the open sesame. After trying a bite of each other's desserts, we decided that the strawberry freezecake was good as a whole, while the open sesame was good in parts but was a bit overwhelming in contrasting flavors as a whole. Overall, service was great, very friendly, and we didn't feel rushed at any point during our time here. The ambience was inviting, comfortable with modern décor and lots of natural light streaming in. You also get a nice view of the sunset during dinnertime!"

"Dining at Edson Hill is clearly meant to be an experience. They certainly charge you for it. At those prices, execution and flavor need to be spot on, and they just ... weren't. Pumpkin soup was so bland and thick, it was like eating flavorless applesauce. Scallops were very good, and cooked nicely, but thrown on top of a pile of spaghetti squash that, again, lacked any flavor. It was clearly squash season, but not a hint of spice or nutmeg. The duck was the highlight of the meal, and the only dish that was executed correctly. Our steak frites was so disappointing. The cut should have been saved for well done, it was not a quality piece of filet, which is the wrong steak for a frites anyways. The fries were perfect and plentiful, but when the fries outshine the steak on a frites plate, that's a problem. For $52 I expect a nice cut. Everything lacked salt and pepper. Dessert was fine, but the cheesecake didn't taste of pumpkin at all, and really didn't taste of cheesecake either, more of a slightly sour mousse cake. All in all, this was a lesson. Take your money to Montreal or the Eastern Townships. They do fine dining better, cheaper, and more casually so you don't have to play along with the stilted service only to be disappointed by the food. Edson Hill is meant for an over 50 crowd who is still more impressed by an obsequious maitre d'hotel than by properly seasoned food."
