    Bruschetta
    Nick E.

    Solid Italian spot in Edmonds. Service was fast and on point, inside is comfortable and well lit, and the food was pretty good. We shared the bruschetta, meatballs, and carbonara. The Carbonara was 3.5/5, the bruschetta was 5/5, and the meatballs were 5/5. We'd definitely come back. Carbonara was weakest of 3, we'd try something else next time.

    Burrata

    Went here with the wife for her birthday dinner. Did not disappoint! Pretty busy on a Thursday evening. Excellent service. Portions are...huge. There had to have been a pound of pasta, which was ok because it was delicious the next day too. Bolognese was rich, burrata was creamy, focaccia with a nice crust and chew, and the pork fell off the bone. Definitely worth the splurge in our opinion. 10/10 will return

    This place is cute! For a group, girl date or date night! Had brunch today and loved that their menu was mostly savory for lunch. They have the Dutch baby pancakes! I came here with a girl friend of mine and got the country Dutch baby! I LOVED it! A good mix of savory with gravy, sausage and eggs, the goat horn pickle peppers added a nice touch. My girl friend got the Early Riser breakfast (all around breakfast of protein, carbs and fruit!) Lane was our server and was really helpful and accommodating. He even doubled check my order and even told my girl friend if she needed more time or help deciding what to get. He was patient! I would definitely come back!

    Carbonara Classico

    Decided to try this place when our first choice did not have a table early enough. We went on a Monday early evening and place was almost full. I had a very good caesar salad and the Bolognese rigatoni which was excellent. I added meatballs, that are optional. My cousin has the Carbonara Classico with chicken. That was also very good. My friend has a pizza with prosciutto, mozzarella, some veggies. I tried it, just okay. I drank a nice Malbec. I will definitely visit this place again. Nice place, some sidewalk seating, very good service.

    Focaccia

    Loved the offerings they had for oyster fest. We decided to also order the focaccia off the menu. Only downside is that they Unfortunately did not pack our pesto sauce for us when we left and the rocks felled oysters were undercooked. We had asked for it to be done well. Everything else was wondering from the service to the food.

    Restaurant was busy on a Thursday night. And was told they only had bad seats available, but then someone else walked in without reservations as well as she was able to get a table It was restaurant week so we (3 of us) ordered the 3 course meal. The salad and ceviche were good. The noodles on the shrimp dish were overcooked and mushy. The desserts were ok Our waiter was awesome. He made recommendations and even offered to take our picture. He asked what we were celebrating and we said Friendship. First time there and probably won't be back for awhile since the dishes didn't hit the spot for us.

    Cute little restaurant in downtown Edmonds. Small, but they make good use of all the space. The staff were all kind and helpful. Came with a friend for restaurant week. I had the Brussel sprouts and bolognese. Sprouts were good, but a little on the sweet side with raisins. Could have used a spice element to offset the sweetness, but still pretty good. The bolognese was not very good IMO. The noodles were a little on the chewy side, and the sauce was just really underwhelming. Also didn't love the taste of the meat. For dessert, I had the chocolate mousse. It was so cute, but extremely bitter. Again, very cute little restaurant. I'm sure they have a ton of great options here, and is a great option for a date night; however, based on the things I tried, I probably wouldn't come again.

    The whole fam outside the front door. Three of five of us had leftovers.

    I'd give 4.5 stars if I could. It's nice restaurant with god food. The foods and their descriptions definitely demonstrate that care goes into preparing them. There were two small drawbacks for me, only. My family doesn't have eating restrictions. My daughter is picky but she likes cheese pizza, so the kid's menu was perfect for her. My husband got pasta with a meaty tomato sauce, my mother in law got manicotti, and my father in law got the same as my husband (they each had meatballs, on their pasta, as well). They all raved about their food. All 4 loved their meals. I am vegan and chose this restaurant for its vegan menu. I'm glad I mentioned it to the server because the vegan food is not featured on the regular menu. I settled on the vegan truffle mushroom pizza. When the food came, I was served the truffle mushroom risotto. I'm not a fan of risotto, so I spoke up. They fixed the mistake immediately, allowed me to keep the risotto (from which I ate the mushrooms), sent a manager out to apologize, and brought my pizza within about 10 minutes. I enjoyed the pizza much more than I would have enjoyed risotto. However, my observation is that the mushrooms were far too salty. This is a common feature of vegan food, I think. The pizza was good but would have been better with a little less salt. The server presented us with a small birthday cannoli for my husband and a bowl of sorbet to celebrate our anniversary. That was very sweet. It's not cheap but I felt they clearly made an effort to rectify the mistake with my order and to make our evening a special one. I'd celebrate an event here again. It's definitely a "special occasion" kind of place.

    Eggs in Purgatory 4/5
    Ash G.

    I am insanely jealous of the Edmonds food scene, this place has a lovely vibe to it and the service is friendly and knows what they're doing (hi Emma!) I had the Old Fashioned Sticky Bun 5/5 it was superb, great texture and flavor will absolutely get again. We also had their Eggs in Purgatory 4/5 great balance in flavor, one of the poached eggs was clearly over but otherwise a great plate of food. Fried Chicken Cesar Sandwich 5/5 an excellent sandwich I will say we went for brunch and it felt like their options were a little limited. A lot of it was pork heavy which I cannot have so just something to bear in mind. I would still go back and their dinner menu looked very very interesting!

    The calamari at Fire & The Feast was perfectly crispy and tender, not greasy at all. The butter sage dish was unreal--rich, aromatic, and so comforting without being heavy. Every bite tasted intentional and well-balanced. Cozy atmosphere, great service, and food that genuinely stands out. I'd order both again in a heartbeat.

    Yes, I am still n Edmonds. And I just can't seem to get enough of experience at Fire and Feast! Little did I know this fabulous Edmonds eatery's owner also gifted Edmonds Salt and Iron (seafood and steaks), Sankai (Japanese-extraordinaire, Bar Dojo (Asian), and The Market (lobster Rolls. Each of these unique restaurants offer top not h food and service. Shubert Ho is the owner and just has the gift! Tonight we were served at the bar by a talented young staff of servers, bar tenders and bar backs. Really darling young men who took great care of us. Shout out to Caden, Elisha, Brady and Zane. So Service a 10! Now into our shared course! We were starving after a boat ride and visit to a Casino in Anacortes. Since they didn't take too much of our fortune, we decided on Fire Feast tonight and boy what a feast it was. After a small taste of their wine selection by the glass we decided on the upgraded Montepultiano D' Abruzzo and an Italian White. While thoughtfiully sipping those, a lovely bruschetta with the most ripened cherry Tom's I have ever had arrived for our table.. After diving into that great app we were served the best sourdough mushroom and sausage pizza hot out of the oven. Go no further in Edmonds for fantastic pizza. All in all a great experience. Thank you Mr. Shubert Ho for putting your faith and touch in Edmonds! Highly recommend!

    Love the atmosphere. Excellent customer service. Delicious food. We decided to try the fare by attending happy hour. Prices are reasonable and the food was amazing. We ordered a combo ( sausage and pepperoni) pizza, Caesar salad, Cacio e pepe, and the meatballs. Everything was amazing. Pizza did have a lot of topping and was a little salty, but crust was perfect. The meatballs with the polenta were fabulous. Their meatballs are a little dense, but still prepared perfectly with the creamy and flavorful polenta. Caesar salad was great and had a lot of freshly shaved Parmesan with leafy green romaine. The star of the show for me was the Cacio e Pepe. The green peas had a nice crunch, and the pancetta was the perfect amount of salt to the creaminess of the sauce. The noodles were cooked perfectly and everything meshed together. can't wait to go back to try items on the regular menu.

    Loved this place!! Such a cute and cozy restaurant in downtown Edmonds. You have to check it out. Came here for a friend's birthday and we absolutely loved the ambiance and the food and our server was super friendly. We were a groups of 12 and got shareables for the table and an entree each. We were very happy with the food. Definitely coming back here again even though it's a a bit of a drive from my place, but totally worth it.

I'm here to review the food, which is great and unlike other menus in the neighborhood. Here, you will find "bar food" elevated so high it could hold its own among fine dining. My mom and shared a few plates: the Vinbero club, the spring pea risotto, and the kale Caesar salad. Everything was delicious. The club is packed with thinly sliced chicken breast, crunchy bacon, and fresh tomatoes, greens, and avocado. The contrast between the bite from the aioli on the inside of the sandwich and the sweet tartness of the balsamic drizzle on the outside was fun and unexpected. The kale caesar was very fresh with a great dressing. But for me the star was hands down the pea risotto. Perfectly creamy, vibrant green, and packed with fresh spring flavor. It appears they change up their risotto offering every so often, and it's gone now, but I will dream of that one until it appears again. Our server (maybe the owner?) thoughtfully split our sandwich onto two plates (hence why the photo only shows one half) and added the side of popcorn to both plates. A nice touch. The inside is a little small and dark though well-appointed. Their mini patio outside is crowded and uncomfortable. But they're doing their best with what the space they have. And truly the food is a standout in the area.

Driving to and from the Edmonds ferry terminal, I had noticed the exterior signage for Gyro Makers. I figured it was time to check it out since it had been open for over three months now (7/6/25). It is located in strip mall retail area with a shared parking lot, in between Bartell Drugs, the UPS Store and Ono Poké. There are a few two and four tops for onsite dining. I noticed they also do a fairly brisk takeout service. Welcoming folks at the ordering counter. There's a posted menu, as well as, a tri fold menu available to take with you. Nice selection of plate or wrap items, a la carte sides, salads, kids menu items, baklava, and chilled beverages too. There's even Turkish coffee and Arabic tea available. Since this was an all in one late breakfast-lunch-early dinner meal, we ordered the following: 1 gyro sandwich ($11.29), 1-12oz lentil soup ($6.49), 1 Arabic chicken shawarma ($12.49), and an order of Special Heroes Fries topped with lamb/beef, spices, and garlic sauce ($13.99). With tax and tip, it was under $57. First off the portion sizes are huge! Duly noted, fresh produce were used, which was greatly appreciated. Succulent and flavorful chicken and beef/lamb were generously used in the menu items. Lively spices and well prepared tzaziki and garlic sauces were evident. We left well fed and with ample leftovers to take home. Gyro Makers - a tasty find in Edmonds!

Some price bias as I loved the Greek options near U-District and those options are friendlier for college budgets, so I thought prices were a little higher, but the quality is high. Gyro Plate - was starving after surviving on matcha for the day and this filled me up. Could be made into one and a half (or two) meals. Well balanced flavors, savory, salty, and slight sourness from the tomatoes and tzatziki. Rice was a bit plain underneath the layering and mixing didn't quite get all the grains. May benefit from some sauce immediately above the rice, sandwiched below meat but still very tasty.

This was at 12:30PM and there was a long line out the door and around the corner, taking almost 30 minutes. I had previously visited on a rainy winter weekday for lunch and there wasn't a line at all. What a difference the day and weather can make! While in line we could see the chefs cutting up ahi fresh right in front. The longer line gave me time to chat with the owner as he was trimming off the skin and other bits. I learned that tuna skin is much tougher than salmon skin so can't be eaten like salmon skin chips. He also said that the trimmed parts can be taken for free if anyone wants them. Apparently they make good crab bait! Medium w/ Rice, Traditional Limu Ahi, Hamachi, Mac Salad ($21.50) - I love the Hamachi poke mix. It's fresh, tender, and buttery fish tossed in a creamy and slightly spicy sauce, filled with little briny pearls and plenty of aromatics giving a super umami bite. The Limu Ahi is very fresh as well - I mean, it's sliced right in front, and there's so much turnover of the food that's it's pretty much guaranteed fresh. The tuna is fresh and tender, but there's noticeably more sinew compared to the hamachi. The Mac Salad is also really good. It's super creamy and the macaroni isn't overcooked so it still has some bite. The rice is unfortunately the weakest item in the bowl. It's a little too dry for my tastes and is only lightly tossed with rice vinegar, giving a tangy flavor. Overall all the poke is fresh, the flavors all meld together into a delightful balanced bite, and the sauces are not overwhelming. Ono Poke definitely serves some great poke!

To eat, we had the pulled pork sandwich, the blue burger, and the lamb burger. The burgers were cooked nicely and were flavorful. The pulled pork is tender and tasty! My favorite part of the dish is the fries--if you're a French fry fiend, make sure to come here and get their fries! We'll definitely continue to come back to Blackbird for lunch!

    Rusty Pelican is one of our Edmonds staples! Breakfast or brunch, guaranteed to be easy,…read moreconvenient, and delicious. Street parking only, but if you're open to a walk, downtown Edmonds tends to have ample parking around the area. When busy, they do provide a buzzer that has a short range, but opens up the opportunity of walking around slightly. Items can be a bit pricey, but they're also very filling. Large space, lots of chatter, and friendly service. Number Three Combo Club - we wanted waffles this time but also bacon and sausage. This was the variety pack we desired, though wish it came with both sausage and bacon! Opted for the bacon and it was thick, fatty, and delicious. One waffle cut into the four quadrants, ready to soak up syrup. Simple, but a classic. Chunky Monkey Pancakes - goofy perhaps, but another timeless classic combo of chocolate and bananas. Three chocolate chip pancakes, fluffy and ready to absorb the Nutella drizzle. Could have a few more chocolate chips embedded for a more balanced spread, but the chocolate drizzle helps spread flavor. Bananas for the healthy balance of course.

    Hot Dogs in Cars, and Managers Named "Robert" : A Hate Story…read more I have been a regular patron of The Rusty Pelican since I moved to Washington, just shy of 5 years ago. I take visiting loved ones and friends here, and I constantly extol the service and food to anyone who needs a recommendation for a breakfast spot in Edmonds. NEVER. EVER. AGAIN. The manager, Robert, showed sickening behavior. My partner and I were having breakfast out in front, when we noticed that a fellow patron had left their dog in the car on the sidewalk in front of our table. It was 60 degrees out, and completely sunny. The windows were barely cracked, and the dog was panting and straining its neck towards the venting of the window. We called our waiter over, who was incredibly sympathetic and horrified. He went inside to find the customer. We waited a few minutes longer, and then asked a second server to follow up (they were equally horrified and sympathetic). The second server also did not return. My partner went inside to seek help. It was at this point that they encountered Robert. My partner came out a few minutes later and explained what was happening: he had been in the process of denigrating the employees feelings about the matter, telling them to stop bothering customers and (essentially) quit acting like babies. "This isn't Arizona!" he exclaimed. When my partner asked to speak with him and tell him the situation, he was horrendously rude and confrontational, escalating each polite rebuttal with an agitating escalation of rudeness and denigration. My partner calmly explained that in these conditions, a car's interior temperature can rise to above 80 degrees in well under 30 minutes, not including stifling humidity. These conditions can cause an animal to pass out and die within a similar timeframe. At this point, it had been well over 30 minutes since the patron had parked. During all of this, he refused to even address my partner or look them in the eyes. It was absolutely unacceptable, and ultimately embarrassing for a grown man in a PAID CUSTOMER SERVICE ORIENTED POSITION to treat anyone like that. To be clear: the entire staff were incredible. They came out to check on the dog a few times, and tried their best to confront the owner of the dog, but a certain manager was preventing them. They also apologized profusely, and showed a grace that is exemplary and frequently unseen in today's world. We learned several good lessons today: 1. We should have just called animal control right off the bat. The owner isn't going to learn their lesson without legal intervention, or lethal endings. Thankfully they left after about 40 minutes, and the dog seemed to be conscious. 2. I am never going to eat here again, as long as Robert is employed. He should be left in a hot car out front to teach him some perspective. I wouldn't call animal control for him though. 3. I am going to spend the rest of my days around Edmonds telling anyone who will listen this story. To Robert, if you read this: I hope nothing but bad things happen to you forever, and your behavior is inexcusable. You do not deserve to be employed. To anyone above Robert in a position of management or ownership: fire him. Quickly, and unceremoniously. Do it in front of the kind employees, as a treat. They had a familiar air of exasperation with Robert's behavior, telling me this is normal. And under no circumstances should it ever be. Shame on you Robert.

    First time going here. I know they have good food because I witnessed my wife enjoy her dish. The…read moreCaesar salad and garlic bread were wonderful. That's the positive. The not so positive. We had a 15 minute wait for our table so we sauntered over to the bar and got a drink. As always, the table was ready much sooner, which is greatly appreciated. We brought our drinks over the table and maybe 5 minutes (that's a long time after being seated) later our server popped their head in and said, Do you know what you want to eat? Straight to the point. No, How Are You Doing, No nothing. Just have you made up for your mind. lol I could tell she was miffed because we brought drinks over from the bar. There goes the larger bill, therefore a larger gratuity. I know from experience, that was always a pet peeve. You also never know the type of evening someone is having. I always try to extend a little grace in the long run. I'm sure a lot have enjoyed their Chicken Parmigiana. I'm not one of them, mainly for all of the beets and carrots. Yes, beets and carrots took out more than half of the plate. I counted four bowtie pasta. Not to mention the beets were hidden under all of the carrots. And that's fine, but let people know that you're getting beets and carrots with Chicken Parm entree. I think either the server or the menu said something about broccoli. I had two florettes. Dessert (cheesecake with blueberry sauce ) was amazing, but the serving size was sad. Call me Tom, short for Petty, but there was more Readi Whip than cheesecake. And the size. Oh, the size, it was so small. Speaking of small, I think they get 12 chicken Parmesan from one chicken breast. Extremely thin. I know darn well all of these rising costs are hitting everybody/business in their pocketbooks, but, just don't serve some things. With all this said, I will be back. Like I said initially, I know they make good food. Looking forward to trying a grinder, just won't get the chicken Parmesan with root vegetables. PS. I dinedthere a few nights ago and then I got this alert.
