Disappointing food. I expected much better food. We had several dishes and all were disappointing. I had the $31 meatloaf and its description sounded wonderful but it tasted like cafeteria food. Also had the Thai tacos and pork was definitely not Thai. Tasted like defrosted pork.

Food was very disappointing. $30 meatloaf tasted like Applebees. Fried green tomatoes tasted like fried batter and no tomato.

We had a reservation for our party, and had to wait 30 minutes after our reservation time in order to be seated. We sat at our table and waited 20 minutes before we saw a waitress and ordered drinks. It took another 20 minutes before our drinks came out, 3 of which were just cokes. We waited almost an hour for our food to come, when the restaurant wasn’t busy. Multiple people ordered after us and got food before ours came out. Some food orders were subpar as they were not warm, and noodles were hard. A waitress tried to restock glasses, shattering the crate of glass cups on the floor under our table. The manager then came to ask if we were okay, but seemed angry at us for the broken glasses. Our checks were not done correctly, and we had to wait another 15 minutes for them to be fixed. After we asked the server not to fix them since we could Venmo each other the difference. We will not be returning.

Rebekah was an amazing server with a beautiful and welcoming smile. My only complaint was I wish I could have talked to her longer. She had great recommendations and the food was delicious. We had the Smash Burger and the Brussels sprouts appetizer. Can not wait to come back!

My friend and I ate here on 3/10/24 and we had Kat as our waitress! She was AMAZING! I had never eaten here before and she was so sweet to answer my questions and help me decide on what to get (the meatloaf was the final decision. Sauce was a little spicy for my preference). When dessert time came, while she hasn't had them yet, she went and asked someone else there what they preferred. I had a follow up question on the dessert and she asked them for me as well. Another perfect decision. It was the best evening after a lovely day at the spa! Thank you Kat!

Beautiful venue with gorgeous views! Delicious food - there were many things on the menu we wanted to try. Our server was charming, attentive, and knowledgeable. Thank you for a special experience.

I ate lunch twice and had dinner at Edison while staying at Grove Park. The pork belly tacos and hot chicken sandwich were both delicious lunch options and the shrimp and grits were great too for dinner. Edison has a good variety of items on the menu.

We had a wonderful experience at Edison’s! We got a seat by the windows and celebrated the marriage of my mother in law and her new husband. It was everything we could have wanted for the afternoon. We went there for lunch. The service was amazing, they were very attentive without being overbearing. We even got complimentary dessert for our celebration! The smash burger was delicious, fries were very crispy and tasty. Everyone enjoyed their food.

This dining experience was the best one of our trip! We loved everything from the excellent server (Kat) to the beautiful view and delicious meal. Reservation was available when we arrived, and our table was situated perfectly to see the mountains. Highly recommend the grilled cheese and tomato soup! Entrees are large enough to split. We recommend this place to all our visiting friends.

The menu was disappointing. There was no Filet and if I am going to spend $65 it isn't on a Ribeye. The sides were lackluster as well. I don't mind spending good money on a good steak, but this wasn't it. I don't have a good suggestion of how to fix the menu, but I do know it starts with having a Filet option.
Absolutely delicious food, excellent service, and of course stunning views. The Brussels sprouts are not to be missed.

For real.... The best hamburger (Smash Burger) I have ever had. The service was amazing too! Get (Amanda- I think her name is). She was really funny as a server.

The view was great however the food was run of the mill pub fare. It was noisy, a 6 oz. glass of wine ranged from $15-$20. I ordered a salad with grilled salmon. Portions were ridiculously large- what a waste of food. There is no bread served- which seemed cheap. The only thing this restaurant has going for it is the location - inside the Omni- but you are going to pay through the nose for salty run of the mill food, lacking presentation, and a hostess station that skipped congeniality school. Would I eat there again. Nope. Would I recommend this to a friend, nope.

Edison, with its incredible views, contemporary style, and cozy fireplace, is visually stunning.?️Service is consistently top-notch.?️My kale salad was both gorgeous and tasty, I must admit, even though I can’t stand kale.?️Meatless choices tend to be limited here, so I really appreciate the addition of a vegan/vegetarian bratwurst, adorned with wonderful goodies and served on a pretzel bun. While I get the idea of a pretzel bun for the brat, it was very heavy without adding significant flavor, dulling the goodness of the other components and diminishing the success of the dish. The fries, though, were fantastic.?️The good ‘ol GPI is, sadly, not what it used to be. The new owner, money-grubbing corporate behemoth Omni, has banished the community from the spa. And they treat us like garbage when we attempt to view the gingerbread houses at Christmastime - trying to get onto the property during the event, you may be told “we are full, try back later,” even though inside sources subsequently debunk that false narrative. And if you’re somehow able to get in, you’ll find jacked-up parking fees during the holidays - a strident, ugly example of opportunistic price-gouging at its worst.

The fried green tomatoes were too thickly cut and hard. The pimento cheese was mild not sharp and delicious. Nothing like what we've had in previous years or on the outdoor patio. Very disappointing. Other food was average.
