    Hip, warm, friendly local casually elegant atmosphere; brussel sprouts appetizer was delicious; arctic char/lobster was slightly overcooked which was disappointing; beef stroganoff was well cooked but needed seasoning (rather bland); scallops main was the favourite. For the price of the entrees we felt some of the dishes (arctic char and beef stroganoff) could have been more impressive -- they were good but not excellent. We would return and try different mains; plus order the $3 amuse bouch of the day which we did not do and regretted it!

    The lighting at this restaurant is very dim. It was challenging to read the menu. We ordered the steak, his medium rare and mine medium. His was cooked medium well, mine was charred black and well done. I ended up taking mine home for our dog. The kitchen is also quite heavy handed with the salt, if this is an issue for you, I recommend asking them to go easy on the salt.

    Our time at Edna’s was absolutely lovey. Everything was delicious, there were so many well paired yet surprising flavours. Our server was quiet and charming and only came around as needed. The ambiance was cosy and quiet, perhaps because it was a weeknight—we loved being able to converse without shouting.
