Vintage Vibes at
The Edison
When The Edison celebrated
the New Year in 2018 by
opening its doors in Disney
Springs, it became a hotspot for those
looking for good food and a good time.
Since then, families have been enjoying
the Gatsby-era venue by day while the
21-and-up crowd settles in after 10 p.m.
to kick back in multiple themed areas
that have an industrial gothic look.
Memorable Menu Items
The Edison’s menu features craft
cocktails and contemporary American
cuisine, including a selection of satisfying
entrees, burgers and more. The DB
“Clothesline Candied Bacon” is a guest
favorite. Crisp strips of maple and black
peppered bacon are playfully presented
hanging above a fruit mostarda and
sweet and spicy pickles. It’s an appetizer
that shouldn’t be missed.
The menu also seems to carry a bacon
theme. The Old-fashioned Meatloaf
and Gravy is prepared with applewoodsmoked
bacon and a spicy ketchup glaze,
and the Oh Bacon baked macaroni and
cheese dish combines maple-black pepper
bacon, cavatappi pasta and melted
fontina, muenster, cheddar and Alpine
Swiss cheeses. It’s also included as a burger
topping and could be an add-on to
consider for the famous Organic Tomato
Soup and Gooey Grilled Cheese.

What’s New
A selection of new house-made desserts
have been added to The Edison’s
sweets menu. Treat yourself to the Cherry
Cheesecake Trifle, which includes layers
of cheesecake filling, vanilla pound
cake, Amarena cherries and whipped
cream, or the Triple Chocolate Voltage
Cake, a dessert filled with chocolate
mousse and raspberry sauce then topped
with whipped cream. There’s also an Old
Fashioned Shake in vanilla, chocolate or
strawberry flavors. All shakes are topped
with whipped cream, chocolate chips
and a cherry.
Then, from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.
every Saturday and Sunday, The Edison
serves bottomless sangria and mimosas
for $25 per person. Selections include
a classic mimosa prepared with Opera
Prima Brut and a splash of orange juice
as well as red or white sangria made with
Beso Del Sol, Peach Schnapps, Lazzaroni
Amaretto, Lejay Cassis, orange juice and
apple juice.
Indulge in these buzz-worthy
beverages before or after Sunday
brunch at Maria & Enzo’s, one of
The Edison’s sister restaurants. From
10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., Maria & Enzo’s
A La Carte Sunday Brunch delights
diners with authentic Italian cuisine.
Expect items such as Spaghetti Alla
Carbonara, thick-cut spaghetti with
a parmesan cream sauce, prosciutto
and a soft-poached hen egg, as well
as Braised Beef Short Rib Ragu with
smoked pancetta, roasted tomato,
spicy Italian sausage ragu and a softpoached
hen egg. Other brunch
items include Nutella Stuffed French
Toast and Frittata Rustica (an Italian
style omelet) that pair perfectly
with the restaurant’s Garden to Glass
cocktail list.
Live entertainment at The Edison
starts after 10 p.m. daily. Guests who visit
in the evening hours are asked to abide
by a dress code that includes no ball caps,
sleeveless shirts or flip-flops.
