“Located in the historic electric building in beautiful Cascades Park in the heart of Downtown Tallahassee, The Edison restaurant opened in 2015. Offering an exquisite menu of scratch-prepared upscale regional cuisine in the most memorable of locations. Enjoying a meal or cocktails with friends on the expansive park-overlook deck creates a dining experience meant to be savored, and has made The Edison a local favorite for those looking for the best restaurants in Tallahassee.”
The Edison’s Story
“
The Edison Restaurant is located in the Old City Electric Building, Tallahassee’s second coal-fired power plant, which was constructed in 1921. The City was growing so quickly that the plant could no longer generate sufficient energy. Subsequently, it was used as government offices and city storage until it was ultimately abandoned for decades. The building fell into disrepair until the 2000’s when the city of Tallahassee, recognizing the value of this uniquely beautiful single-walled construction brick building, invested in stabilizing the structure for future use.
The building’s rebirth came in 2015 when a group of local entrepreneurs invested in transforming this grand old building into what is now The Edison Restaurant, one of Tallahassee’s finest restaurant experiences. After years of careful planning, design, and construction, The Edison Restaurant opened in September 2015. It is a representation of our love of Florida and Tallahassee. On the menu you will find local, fresh from Florida products and classic scratch made menu selections with preparations from all parts of our great state.
During your visit, we invite you to tour this historic building.
We hope that your visit to The Edison Restaurant is a return visit and if it’s your first time please ask for a manager so that we can thank you for joining us.
It is our pleasure to show and share all of the great bounty that Florida, Tallahassee, and Cascades Park has given us.
It is our mission to showcase the best Florida has to offer. Enjoy!”
