My wife and I come hear regularly and I have to push my self to broaden my horizons and try other dishes each time otherwise i would get the miso flank steak everytime.(beacause its just that good. ) And today we had the decadent dessert "Chocolate Utopia". To die for! Thanks for a wonderful experience. read more

Best caesar salads in the pnw. amazing staff and phenomenal management service. would recommend to anyone

This review is going to be limited because we just stopped for a quick lunch bite and a sip on our trip out to Snohomish. We hadn't had calamari in a while and it's kind of our thing. I didn't have high hopes because lately all our stops have been sub par. BUT, not gonna lie, these fried calamari were probably some of the best I've ever eaten. Perfectly cooked, light crispy coating and served with a lovely aioli. Also the entree Caesar salad was great to share as well. THANK YOU for not making the dressing too heavy and too fishy! I LOVED it and I'm pretty fussy about my Caesars. I had a glass of the house Chardonnay which was super crisp and dry and a bargain at $7! Hubby had a choice of beers on tap and when the Mac n Jack draft ended up being flat, he swapped out for his fav Black Butte Porter which made him very happy! read more

Beautiful view, fresh seafood, (options for those of us who don't appreciate seafood), fresh, hot sourdough bread and super nice and efficient staff. We are on our way north and wanted to enjoy a meal on the coastline and this place did not disappoint. Our meals were wonderful and the wine was Devine. (Bonus if you are here Monday - Wednesday half off wines!) I do recommend! read more

Very outdated old school restaurant along the Marina in Edmonds. Nice views from each table I was there for happy hour and order the crab cocktail as it was recommended by my waiter. It arrived and I quickly noticed that it was frozen shredded parts of the Dungeness. It tasted pretty meh. He admitted it was taken out from a large previous frozen bag and quickly brought me some steam clams instead. The crab cocktail as taken off my bill and all is well. This is probably the best seashore location in Edmonds but pretty outdated. I hear they are remodeling? read more

Arnies Restaurant Edmonds - Sonoma Chardonnay, happy hour! - Seafood Near Me - Edmonds, Washington

Friday night. Place not busy. Temperature outside 74 degrees. 18 people gathered for a birthday dinner. The air conditioning was on so cold, we all about froze. I went out to the car a retrieved a fleece , other got jackets. Food was good and all served at the same time. So that was good. Did I mention it was cold in there. We couldn't help but notice the candles on the cake lean sideways when the breeze hit them. And it was a cold breeze. read more

Service was good but salmon scramble was bland and no taste. Friend had breakfast hash and it was very salty. Too bad as there is a great view and a good location. read more

I have been to this restaurant a few times through the years, but I have to say that this weekend's lunch with friends was the best Yes, the restaurant can look a bit dated, but the views are lovely and the atmosphere was vibrant in the bar area. It is not inexpensive but the meals we all had were well portioned and delicious. My choice of " Golden Mojito" was great and my main course of halibut, from the day's fresh sheet, was absolutely delicious. Probably one of the best restaurant halibut dishes I have ever had. The crust on the fish with moist white flesh, the tender asparagus, the potatoes with crunchy edges and soft creamy bodies and the caper sauce- they were all fantastic.....and the dessert of berry cobbler with ice cream was delicious too. Yes, it was not inexpensive, but a meal of that quality did not leave me feeling cheated for the price I paid. Give it a try.... read more

Arnies Restaurant has a fantastic view of the water in Edmonds and is worth a visit just for that. The restaurant itself is kind of aged and the menu seems a little dated, but they serve good food. We were there for brunch and had a nice table with a view. Service was very good through the meal. I was not drinking but someone had a mimosa and liked it. I ordered the eggs benedict and a sticky bun (which comes with it). This was a classic benedict and quite good. I also enjoyed the sticky bun. Others ordered an omelet and the Northwest Favorite breakfast. Everybody liked their food, but nobody really loved it. Just very solid. Definitely worth going for the view, but hopefully a renovation is planned for the future. read more

Great atmosphere and a beautiful view! The service was great as well. The crab dip appetizer and calamari were amazing! The Baja tacos and fish & chips were good. Chocolate utopia was delicious. The key lime pie I wouldn't order that again. My experience was it had a strong tart taste and the crust was hard. Overall a great meal and will return! read more

Been to this location many times before and never had such slow service. Food was delicious as always but server was too busy for us in the bar for the first 10 minutes with just a not a lot of other tables, then took at-least 30 minutes for a few appetizers. There was one other table near us that was waiting just as long for their food, while tables with another server nearby were seated after us, and left before us when they had full meals while we only had a few appetizers. Great drinks and view as well. read more

Our family (an extended family that includes our son's family) LOVES to dine at Arnies and we go there at least a few times every year. It's consistently excellent ... the tasty seafood... the fairly reasonable prices... the excellent service... and that view of Puget Sound. What's not to love. MOST HIGHLY RECOMMEND ARNIE'S! read more

The food was excessively salty. Given the high prices, I was surprised that a 4.5% service charge was added. They claim it's to provide fair wages. The server provided minimal service. The view was nice and it's close to home. We don't plan on returning anytime soon. read more

I went to Arnie's with my mother for Mother's Day. When I saw the majority of its customers were older people, I was right to assume that any seasoning other than salt would not be used. The service was fine, but I'm not one to really harp on that. I got the Oven Roasted Stuffed Prawns, which were fine but they had the shell still on them which made it difficult to eat without using my hands. The rice was also incredibly flavorless and at times I wasn't sure it was fully cooked. The vegetables had no seasoning to speak of. The crème brûlée, which they called a 'Burnt Cream' (making my eye twitch), was great though. Probably the only thing I had that I enjoyed, but I also love crème brûlée. Overall, it was fine but I probably will not return. Our meal totaled to around $150, which I felt wasn't worth what we got. This also includes an extra 4.8% surcharge that went entirely to the House, not the staff, which is the trend right now for Washington restaurants. 3 stars solely because I've had worse food and the crème brûlée was good. read more

Food was great but service was horrible. This is my 3rd visit in 6 months where service has been horrible. Our server (bill said her name was Riley) acted like she hated being there. We had to ask for her from other staff 3 separate times when we wanted drink refills, dessert, and our bill. Note our bill was $300! We ordered drinks, appetizers, meals and dessert. She would forget what people would order. 3 of us ordered mixed drinks and 1 a beer. She brought mixed drinks and had to ask again what beer he ordered. Then at end of meal she came to clear plates and asked if we needed a box. We said no. She cleared 2 of 3 plates and then just disappeared... it was just a bad experience for what I would call a "higher end" restaurant... I want to say that the food and drinks were very good and the reason we do like coming to Arnies! What's worse is this is the 3rd bad service experience in last 6 months. Other 2 visits were at lunch with different servers. Just no attentiveness, had to ask for our server multiple times throughout experience. They would just disappear. Not even on floor helping other people. Just gone. read more

Try "Arnie's" in Edmonds. You will love it. That is the short answer. And, for those of you who read my reviews know, the more extended answer is as follows: This was a last-minute decision when a dear friend flew in from Denver. It was a beautiful summer evening in Edmonds, and we took full advantage of it! Admittedly, another restaurant down the street had another hour's wait due to a couple of happy party reservations running a bit late. I decided to call Arnie's to see if they were available, I am so happy they were! Here are just a few of the points to consider: * Their view is (in my humble opinion) even better! Being able to see the ferries on our right, coming across and then anchor in was a delight for all of us. Seeing the beautiful Puget Sound is always a delight, regardless of the weather. At Arnie's, the view from every table is pretty much fantastic. I also appreciated their window coverings that allowed you to see out but stopped the intense sunshine onslaught. * THE FOOD IS REALLY GOOD! Two of us had the Copper River Salmon with a macadamia-pesto crust, potato mash and perfectly done, thin asparagus spears. Yum! Other places tend to accidentally drown the taste of this magnificent salmon with a similar macadamia crust. It happens...but not at Arnie's. The beautifully grilled salmon was the headliner, as it should be! My beautiful, adult daughter had the kid's menu grilled cheese sandwich with French fries and fresh fruit. She has Williams Syndrome, which tends to make most of those experiencing this issue really, really picky about food. The bread Arnie's uses is a type of thick-cut, sourdough bread...I held my breath...SHE LOVED IT! Who knew? Hurray! I also eyed their gorgeous fish and chips. Someone across from me was gobbling a plate of it down but I showed monumental restraint and did not, even once, try to create a distraction in order to try to snag a piece. Fellow guest, you are welcome. * Now for something I tend to consider almost as important as the food, he customer service. One word: WOW! From the young man who answered the phone when l called in to check on availability, to the gal who greeted us, to the same young man who seated us, to our wonderful server - it was seriously great! I love when a server especially, can, as they say, "read the room" or more importantly, each table. Karen, yes, that is her name but NOT her attitude, was a delight! She had several very different tables and treated every single one with this great smile and personally attentive way. She has that rare ability to respect her guests and treat them in a manner that best meets their needs. That is impressive. My dear friend who had flown just in, was a lead flight attendant for several decades. We both were so, forgive the redundancy, impressed! * THEN, we were surprised by another server, AJ, who played on the same high school football team as our son, and who my husband had also coached while they were there! Just going to say, this was the best! I have to add this, too. AJ was also a perfect example of a quality server! He was respectful of our dinner, gently asking if we were from Snohomish, not trying to intrude but just saying "hello". Of course, if you know me, there were huge hugs! AJ was so kind (our daughter often went to practice with my husband so all of the "wild boys" as she called them, knew her) and yet, he was right back to caring for his guests. Having been involved in customer service my entire life, that is also something to note! * My friend also likes to say; "Leadership puts their footprint on everything, good or bad." The management of Arnie's gets it. They are welcoming. They work hard to give everyone a great experience both in service and food. Go there. Yes, it is more casual than the restaurant down the way, yay! Every restaurant has its own niche. This one fulfills theirs perfectly. Go to Arnie's, you will thank me. read more

This is only a partial review, because I haven't properly explored their menu yet, but as we limped into town after two days of driving and a variety of misfortunes, I just desperately needed tasty protein. The pit-roasted salmon provided. It was probably the best salmon I've ever had. The seasoning was complex and flavorful. The texture was perfect. I think there were some vegetables that I demolished, and the mashed potatoes were great too, but that salmon! Oh wow. I will definitely be going here again. read more

I took my aunt here for her birthday and we had a lovely dinner and the server was very good. Definitely recommend this place.

The food was decent.... $220 for my party of three and we had two drinks. It took FOREVER to get served....They forgot my soup lol.... I had to track the waitress down to get my card after checking out. I mean.... read more

We visited the Edmonds location this evening. Not really impressed, food was not fantastic for the price. Service was very slow, waitress didn't ask for a refill on our waters. I think we'll check out some of the other Edmonds restaurants going forward. read more

Visited yesterday for some celebrations. Food quality seems to have declined. Three of the four diners reported disappointing meals. The Fish and Chips person was happy. The Pad Thai had a weird flavor profile (I know, don't order that in a seafood restaurant, but it had 3 or 4 shrimp...). Ambience was good, as always, service was fine. We dislike the "we charge your tip automatically" policy with a vengeance. It's a shame because we like(d) Arnies and have visited many times. We'll keep an eye on it, but perhaps it's time to check out Rories for our go-to spot. We heard good things about the burgers. read more

I really wish Edmonds have a better waterfront restaurant... this place has amazing views and friendly staff (which is what earned it the two stars), but the food is soooo bad - I had the sampler, my friends had the chowder and salmon. It's all horrible. Definitely do not recommend. read more

Just plain disappointing! The service was lacking. When the food arrived the lamb delicious but was so tough it was unpalatable. The server offered that I pick another option so I ordered the chicken Parmesana which was just not good. My husband's seared scallops were not seared in any way. It's just not at all acceptable when spending $35-$40 per meal. We used to love Arnie's but sadly we will not be returning. read more

Superb brunch on Sunday - VERY reasonably priced for the quality and service. Super-friendly and competent waitress, nice view, and almost every dish was outstanding. Prime Rib Hash, Eggs Benedict, cinammon rolls, were all first-class. The included champagne was quite excellent and far above standard, and ditto on the small-blend local coffee used. We met other family for a birthday brunch and it was a great experience and good value also. read more

We stopped by here on our way up north. Incredible views, friendly staff, and the food is amazing. My favorite was the seafood bisque and crab dip - absolutely incredible. read more

Great location, right on the water. Most tables have a water view. The restaurant itself feels clean, but dated - the furniture was bought at the height of nineties style and then never revisited - lots of light tan wood. Service was prompt, helpful and friendly. Bread service happened right away and we never found ourselves without water or waiting in between meals. The food was probably 3.5 stars. I had the cod and chips which were crispy with a lot of cod - and there was a ton of fries. My mom had the mixed grill - she said the scallops and shrimp were great but the salmon was a bit over cooked. I also had chocolate cake for dessert - well, I had it for four desserts as I had to take it home - it was huge! Lots of layers, great balance of icing and cake. read more

After paying for my meal on a Friday evening, the server gave me back the wrong credit card. The manger called me Saturday morning about the mix-up, that they talked to the customer whose card I had, and that he agreed to drop it off on that day. I went that afternoon to hand the other customer's card to the manager whom I spoke to (my card had not been dropped off yet). Due to unforeseen conflicts, I ended up going there on Monday for the card exchange. The host went tried to give me back the other customer's card I had given them on Saturday, and my card had STILL not been returned. I even gave the host my driver's license but she apparently did not look at it. My irritation is how this was handled. That I was subject to the whims and schedule of the other customer in order to get my card back. I was able to monitor my card after locking it, thankfully. My friends and I are never going to Arnie's again. read more

I met some friends for dinner at their favorite restaurant in Edmonds. They have been coming here for 15ish years and me many of the staff by name and their families. Soo, a great testament to begin. I found the food tasty, and the menu prices reasonable. The staff was very personable and attentive. We sat outside and enjoyed the beautiful harbor view. My only nitpick is the 4% charge on the menu prices. Why not just raise the prices? If you are coming here for a meal, the food, service and view are the real motivations, if it was the price, you would be going through a local drive thru. read more

I first moved to Edmonds in 1985. That's when I started going to Arnies. It's our go to place for special occasions. The food is always great. Never disappointed. You can always count on Arnie's for a memorable experience. read more

Always great service and good food! Been going there for yearrrrrs!! They are always sending coupons that really help us devotees !! read more

Just not a fan...ordered the Arnie's Trio Louie and I'm sorry I didn't take pictures to support this review. I would rename that salad a "salmon filet salad with a touch of crab and shrimp" - - and I can't recall the last time I had anything with crab that didn't include at least one Dungeness crab leg. The 2 tablespoons spoons of crab was comprised of shredded body meat. The 10-12 bay shrimp were laughable. And the big, palm-sized filet of salmon laid on top (I assume to cover up the fact that the other shellfish was essentially non-existent) was terribly over cooked. Also disappointed with the service...long wait times between drink orders, appetizers, meals, and signing the check. The view of the harbor was nice though... read more

All of the staff members went out of their way to make sure we felt welcomed and appreciated. Warm greetings behind big smiles. Two family members dined for lunch on 11/25/25. Our window table showcased a panaramic view of the misty Puget Sound and multiple shorelines and islands in the distance, along with nearby docks housing many vessels. The menu items ordered, Ceasar shrimp Louie and Alaska cod fish and chips were well-prepared. The fish 'n chips were shared with approval. A basket of sour dough bread served before the meal was fresh and warm with soft butter. We applied a limited gift coupon given by a friend, which only sweetened the deal. With the coupon this lunch totaled under $35. The diner picking up the tab, felt that the menu prices were more than fair. Feeling well cared for in a pleasant setting resulted in comfortable social interaction and an enjoyable event. read more

Three strikes -- you're out! I've been here with the same friend three times in the past eight months, and not once did you get it right. I was excited to order Eggs Benedict on our first visit, as I didn't have to make it myself, but was very disappointed. The chef had a heavy hand with the salt and clearly didn't taste the Hollandaise before serving. On the second visit, I hoped it was just a fluke. It wasn't. The English muffin was soggy, and the egg was overcooked. This last visit was par for the course. I wanted the proof and you succeeded, unfortunately. An omelet that was severely overcooked with the fillings falling out instead of adhering to the egg that was more like a baked soufflé. smh I understand restaurants have off days but this level of inconsistency is unacceptable. I know the local dining scene well. The lack of updates to your menu and atmosphere, paired with steadily rising prices, makes it hard to justify coming back. read more

Nope. There were flies in the lobby, when we first walked in. Not a good sign. When we sat down, it smelled funny and the decor was from ages ago. I have been to Arnies over the years and it used to feel nice but it hasn't updated at all and really needs to. The food is ok but nothing to write home about. read more

I ordered a deep fried chicken dish. It was $22. Add tax & tip and it would be $30. What I got was about 4 chicken strips and a tablespoon of rice. Maybe it's my fault for ordering chicken in a seafood restaurant but if they sell it, they should ensure it's good. I will say that Arnie's has usually been really good. Today, it was truly a disappointment. Wildly expensive for almost no food. read more

Arnies. Have come here many times. It is a favorite of my 93 year old father. So beloved, we had my mother's farewell dinner here after she passed away. Love the creative cocktail ingredients, however they definitely skimp on the liquor. Inventive seasonal menu items are my favorite. The service can be hit or miss. The last time I was here, was with my father and a large family party. He requested a table side seat with a view. They insisted that the Captains table, located from the window, was all they could offer our party. Somehow, this put a shadow over our experience. We ordered about 400.00 total of food and drinks. Service was lacking, our server seemed overwhelmed by other tables. We are an agreeable bunch, so tolerated the lack of service. Appetizer of crab dip was very good and clam was good also. Nice start. Drinks missed any sense of alcohol and seemed to have sat for a while before being served. Very watery. You are paying about 10-15 dollars per drink, so one would expect they would be good. Unfortunately, this extended to our entrees. It seems almost all our entrees appeared to sat under a heat lamp for an extended period of time before being served. This made both seafood and steak dishes overcooked and tough. As sauces had separated and broken, this indicated a more than acceptable amount of time had occurred before being served.side dishes were under seasoned and bland. No check in from our server, as several people wanted to order more watery drinks, in hopes the next ones would be better. The view from the Captain's table was alright, my father was disappointed he did not have a better view. Moving onto dessert, we ordered a variety of desserts. Our favorite was the seasonal crisp. The dessert crisp with ice cream were incredible. Loved this. Great views. Overcooked food. Minimal service. read more
