The locals think it's great but it is average at best. Haven't tried the Edge so I can't comment. Rio Grande is good as is Cancun in Kanawha City. For fine dining there are only two places worth trying in Charleston. Laurys on SE MacCorkle Ave or The Tarragon Room which is in the Marriot Hotel in downtown Charleston. A little less fancy is the Tidewater grill. This is in the Town Center Mall (across the street from the Marriot). Good seafood and the best bread I have ever had. One of my favorite places in Charleston is Hibachi Japanese Steak House. Good tepanyaki type cooking and suprisingly good sushi. Well worth a visit. Much more downscale but excellent seafood is General Seafood. Try their fish stew (I think it's called Hungarian Fish Stew). In Beckley, you might try the Char - but only if you are a smoker. They have excellent steaks but no non-smoking section. There is nothing to speak of in Bluefield but there is a decent Italian restaurant in Princeton which is only a few miles down the road. Sorry, I don't remember the name but I think it's the only one in town. If you want great food and can make it to White Sulfer Springs, the Greenbrier has the best food in the state (or probably the region). Expensive but well worth it. Hope this helps.
