A night for the local CIA community

Pull up a chair.
Catch up. Meet someone new.

Whether you graduated recently or have spent years in the industry, we’d love to have you join us. Reconnect with old friends, swap a few kitchen stories, and get to know fellow alumni who call Northeast Ohio home.

We’re opening the Oyster Bar for an easygoing evening together. Come as you are, bring a guest if you’d like, and enjoy a little EDWINS hospitality.

About your hosts

Great food.
Greater opportunity.

EDWINS Leadership & Restaurant Institute prepares formerly incarcerated adults for careers in culinary arts and hospitality, combining hands-on education with housing and comprehensive reentry support.

Our restaurants help bring that mission to life every day. We look forward to welcoming the CIA alumni community and sharing the place, the people, and the work behind EDWINS.
