The salad base and dressing were genuinely good, which made the steak more frustrating. The chicken pot pie soup special sounded exciting. It was just a thin runny cream soup, barely-there chicken, no puff pastry in sight. More disappointment per dollar. My boyfriend ordered the steak taco. Steak was just as flavorless and under-seasoned. The tortillas unpleasantly thick. Do not recommend and will not return unfortunately.

The drink offerings are creative and it was difficult to choose! Hubby landed on the Corpse Reviver and I chose the Moscow Mule. Both drinks were delicious and strong. The space is small so on busier nights, I would imagine it gets a bit crowded in there. There are two booths which could probably fit up to 4 people and stools at the bar. Overall a solid 5/5.

Even without a reservation, the hostess seated us right away. We chose to dine on the patio, which was absolutely perfect on a beautiful sunny day. Our wonderful waitress started us off with a crisp house Chardonnay (highly recommend!), followed by our appetizers. We ordered the burrata, the beet salad, and added the bread service and every bite was fantastic. For our entrées, I had the scallops while my partner ordered the steak salad. The food was exceptional. Every dish featured fresh, high-quality ingredients, was beautifully presented, and had perfectly balanced flavors. It was the kind of meal that felt both elegant and fresh, with no complaints whatsoever. Our waitress was attentive throughout the meal and made excellent recommendations that elevated the experience even more. From the welcoming service to the outstanding food and beautiful patio, everything exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be back.

I ended up having the non alcoholic kombucha. He had a salad course and I chose a pot pie which came with salad. Everything was fresh, good quality ingredients D thoroughly enjoyable.

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.

For breakfast, we ordered the Chorizo Scramble and French Toast. The French Toast was topped with spiced peaches and a side of whipped cream. It also came with crispy bacon.

This restaurant is perfect for dogs since they have a covered patio! It's comfortable but not super casual, making for a delightful ambiance.

You first taste the chocolate and then a hint of lavender. The mango mule and strawberry basil spritzer are delicious drinks too. 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!

It might even be a nice place to take those who don't enjoy beer, but still want to enjoy a nice day in Edmonds. This is especially great in the warmer months as they have a nice outdoor patio where you can sit with your dog. There's an inside area too if the weather is not too great. If you are lucky and visit at the right time you might find some live music on the back patio as well. You do order at the counter, but they often will bring your food out to you.
