This is a great spot to visit while you're at Edmonds Beach! The ambiance is beautiful, the food was delicious with generous portions, and the service was decent. I'd definitely recommend it to friends spending the day at the beach. read more

My partner and I came on the recommendation of another couple who liked this place, so we had dinner here on a recent Monday night. We didn't have a lot of time to just eat and relax as we were in a rush to get somewhere else right after, but I had scoped the menu out beforehand and knew what I wanted. We ordered the Pumpkin Quinoa Salad, the Campanelle Ala Pistachio, and I got a Cherry Bomb mocktail for myself. I will say that the Campanelle Ala Pistachio was what I wanted, as a fan of both pesto and nuts like pistachio. We both happily ate that up. I expected the roasted pumpkin to be warm in the salad, since that's how I would have done it myself, but it was chilled and cold. I don't consider that bad, but it wasn't my preference especially on a cold night. However the major disruption to our dinner was in the middle of conversation that while I was sipping my mocktail through the straw, my tongue hit something weird and stringy. My partner watched as I stared, confused and shocked, while pulling a very long blonde hair out of the straw. The end of the hair was embedded in a small piece of macerated cherry. I imagine what might have happened was the bartender lost a hair in the cherry mix while preparing my drink. While I guess this shows the drink was made fresh, it certainly didn't feel sanitary having pulled another human's hair out of my straw (and there's no way they could claim it's mine since I have dark hair). I lost my appetite for the drink immediately and ended up ordering a different kind. While our server whisked the old drink away fairly quickly, it didn't feel much like an apology. The Mocking Pear was much better though so I didn't feel the need to complain any further. I'm open to trying this place out again when the menu rotates, but I also hope their bar is a little more careful next time, that was definitely not the best first impression! read more

My friend and I came here after shopping around in Edmonds and the food was fabulous. We sat outside on the patio and had a beautiful day. We didn't really have much of a view of the water, but the food was great and the service was wonderful. It was a really nice day. Edmonds is so adorable. I would definitely come back. Both of us had a meal that tasted very fresh and cooked to order. read more

Epulo Bistro is pretty underrated in my opinion, genuinely -- it's absolutely delightful! Their pasta is always beautifully presented and melts in my mouth with every bite. Plus, the location next to a museum makes it a perfect spot for a relaxing meal before or after some culture. read more

Epulo is a beautiful spot in Edmonds serving delicious bites. A lot of the food is very shareable, which I appreciate. Happy hour has good offerings but a lot of prices are definitely up, competing with main menu offerings. Visited after work on a weekday and it was fairly quiet, maybe close to 5 other parties inside and outside. Despite this, their outdoor seating was supposedly booked up and we sat inside. By the time we left, maybe one other party had been seated outside. I found this strange and a poor experience for walk ins, but it happens. Truffle Frites - can't go wrong with fries as an appetizer, happy hour snack, or conversation starter. These ones are topped well and include a garlic aioli sauce that's creamy, bold, and balances out the grease. However, the fries by themselves are tasty without the sauce. Just don't expect much because fries at the end of the day, are just fries. Clams - slightly salty clams swimming in a pool of tomato broth results in a nice aroma with each bite. Clams weren't anything special but the broth was comforting. This comes with two pieces of a baguette which were seasoned and toasted perfectly. While they can soak up the tomato broth for an enhanced taste, they were delicious on their own. Short Rib Pappardelle - super creamy pasta mixed with tender beef is a tale as old as time. Delightful combination that melts in your mouth and is pleasant to eat. Would definitely order this again and it's easily shareable too. read more

Great atmosphere, service and easy (free) parking. Outdoor patio is covered and lovely! Met a friend here for happy hour and we shared Brussels, burrata and fries. The burrata was delicious and I liked how the Brussels were not over cooked . Really nice and refreshing! I liked the variety of the menu which has something for everyone. Great space for a date, a night out with friends and convenient location with ample and free parking. Cant wait to go back! read more

The owner came over right away and made us feel so welcome. Delicious food, great wine, list, and phenomenal service. I could see coming up here a week also the place you could dress up a special date night. Love. read more

We needed to go out for a special meal. It's been a while since we ate out just to be special for no particular reason except to thank my friend for selling her sister's car to us. First of all, we did make reservations, but we were stuck in a dark corner. The room was noisy but with all the hard surfaces there was really nothing to absorb the noise. My friend was late due to an accident on the freeway. So we ordered drinks and the fried artichoke appetizer. My Riesling was very good. Husband ordered a pink drink. It looked like a lady's drink, but he liked it. At least the taste of it. Our friend finally showed up we ordered another plate I'd the fried artichokes. Then finally dinner. I ordered the risotto which I found to be very tasty. Husband ordered a pasta dish That I found to be very tasty, tastier than my dish, even though I liked my risotto. Our friend ordered a pizza. Service was great. Very attentive! Not sure I would return due to the noise level. Perhaps if I do return, I may try the outside seating. read more

Among the concentration of eateries along Main St. and its borders, Epulo fit the requirements for this dinner between friends, who wanted a quiet place for dinner & conversation. Situated on the south side of the Art museum building the space has a wall of windows that let in the light. A bit too much so at 6PM. They have effective shades that dial down the sun's brightness until it has sunk slowly in the West. The food was not stellar. Good, but unremarkable. The Pear Salad w/Chevre and pecans was good. It suffered from too little of the thin sliced pear. My Lobster Risotto lacked flavor. The rice was too dry. The grains need to stick together, hold the flavor of the broth and seasoning and giving the dish the creamy texture it needs. My friend had the lasagna. He didn't comment on it although, he ate it all. Service was good. Our server was on time. There were an ample number of support staff. Some of who were attentive. The restaurant appeared to be full. The party to our left finished about an hour before us. Tables in our area emptied and we had our quiet conversation. It was good, but not cheap fun. What restaurant dining experience isn't today? read more

This is one of my favorite local spots for any occasion, from a girls' night out to a cozy date night. The beautiful patio is a highlight, scented with jasmine and equipped with heaters for cool days and sun sails for the scorching ones. The service is always fast, efficient, and friendly--and the staff is great about giving recommendations on what to try. The food menu is always fresh and changes with local finds. I especially love the happy hour menu, which offers smaller portions. It's a perfect way to try new dishes without committing to a full entree. They have delicious cocktails, along with a great selection of wines and beers. With its fantastic ambiance, amazing food, and excellent service, this place is a winner. read more

I ordered takeout for dinner from É Pulo Bistro, and while the staff were amazing, truly the kindest, and the customer service was great, I was extremely disappointed with the portion sizes. I believe this issue falls on the kitchen. What I received would not have been enough for even one person, let alone two dinners. For the price, I expected something far more substantial. While the flavors might be fine, the food options and portioning for to-go orders are simply not worth it. I left feeling frustrated after getting home and seeing how little food there was. I did not even eat my meal, I gave it to my mother. She assumed I had already eaten my portion while inside, but when I explained it was the entire to-go order, she was upset as well. She said it was not enough food for anyone. We both agreed that we would never return here again. read more

Best restaurant in Edmonds. My group loved every dish we ordered. I split the salmon and chopped alas. Super fresh and lightly dress. The cocktails were exceptional. Others ordered pasta and ribs. Great ambience and really fresh food. Highly recommend read more

I've been here a few times and have never had a bad experience! Staff are always friendly, food is delicious, vibes are nice, and nobody makes it awkward that you feel like you're walking through the kitchen to get to the restrooms (which are also nice, by the way). Some friends and I came in for dinner and ordered a smattering of things, all of which were so good! I'm always partial to anything with short rib, which they do so well. Their short rib plate is delicious, and they were offering a special at the time which was a short rib pizza - YUM. I love that they always are introducing new dishes and rotating some of their other dishes so you always feel like you can try something different without losing some of your go-to favorites. read more

Very nice. Classy spot with elegant vibes and enjoyable character - parties are situated such that there is good chatter as background noise without it being too loud to hear one another. Good service with humor and personable employees. Food was excellent - other items not pictured that our party ordered were the roasted chicken, short ribs, sea bass, and rigatoni - all quite good. Flavor was great, portions a bit big but also with the higher price point, maybe it makes it a bit more worth it haha. A good time. read more

While in town for a weekend visit we stopped in for a meal. We sat in the fireside room and it was very quiet and perfect since we had a 17 month old toddler with us. The food was quick to come out so we didn't have to sit long with her. I had the clams. They were so yummy! In a red sauce that was just the perfect flavor blends. The toasted cauliflower side was tasty too. We enjoyed our dinner and would recommend this bistro. read more

Food 3.5 stars. Service 4.5. So I rounded up to a 4 star review. We are Edmonds residents, and we've been coming to Epulo for special occasions for many years. We went there again last Wednesday night for my birthday celebration. It was a nice night but the food was a little underwhelming. We ordered 2 pasta dishes and one veggie dish and one pizza to share. All the dishes had good flavors, but the pastas in both dishes were waaay over cooked, which was too bad. None of us really cared for hammered pasta. The staff was attentive, but it was after 8 pm when we got our food. We did not feel like sending them back. I chose the banana bread pudding for my birthday dessert. It was too sweet for me. I did not really care for it. Epulo is definitely one of the nicer restaurants in Edmonds. The restaurant is beautiful and their landscaping just adds a special touch to it all. But I feel like their quality of food is slipping a little bit. read more

cute open restaurant in downtown edmonds! my boyfriend and i tried the wagyu boneless beef short rib and campanelle ala pistachio. we absolutely loved the campanelle ala pistachio, so chewy, flavorful and made to perfection! for the ribs i would pass next time. as for dessert, we had the banana bread pudding!! it was so yummy i liked how they added caramel to it and made it more crispy on the top outer layer. shoutout to jasmine and isa for making our date night special! :) read more

So good. I had the salmon pasta dish, shrimp bisque and a grapefruit martini. I am always satisfied when I leave epulo. I highly recommend.

Atmosphere was very nice. Service was good, but at times slow. There was 1 bartender to handle the bar and all of the guest in the dining area. Not ideal. The food was average to slightly above. The clams were excellent The burrata was NOT burrata. Something just seemed off. The short ribs were good but nothing special; seems more like a roast (chuck). We will come back, but not running back. read more

Customer service...outstanding! From the greeting when we entered, the way we were cared for by our waitress to our departure. Class act! We had a reservation at 6 , meeting friends. We arrived early and upon entry was informed our table was ready and they could seat us. We were seated at a table close to the bar. A server took our drink order as we waited for our friends. I ordered a prosecco and it came in an old style champagne class! Felt so elegant. Once our friends arrived our server came to the table to take their drink order. We engaged in conversation which was animated and would have been hard for a server to interrupt. Upon delivery with their drinks we had not even decided on our dinner yet, she told us she would come back. We quickly studied the menu, although I knew what I wanted because I had studied it when we arrived early. For appetizers we ordered the Brussels sprouts and cauliflower...simple but delicious and a perfect item to complement our dishes. I ordered the fusilli formaggio...the cheesy sauce was so delicious I could not stop eating it and had to tell myself I was full. Other orders at the table was pizza and the lamb shank. The lamb shank looked amazing..,..nothing was left on my friend's plate. We all shared a chocolate mousse which was creamy delicious. I'd say we were there for 2 hours and never felt rushed to leave. Our server somehow knew when it was time to come to the table. She took excellent care of us. I had been to this restaurant 10 years prior in their other location. So glad we decided to eat here..,just as I remembered, great food and service. Highly recommend this bistro. Unfortunately I took no photos! read more

Food and service very good. Piano was a bit pound and made talking difficult but got better when they took a break. May have been better further away from Piano. The music was nice just too loud if too close. Sri la good, food tasty, very personable wait staff. read more

This place is a joke. I'm surprised that it's always busy. Their food is an absolute disaster. Duck/ mushroom appetizer smelled horrible.. souse? Burger- meat was so dry and tasteless. Their "special" 8 oz steak- rubber- hard to chew.. Waitress offered "special" lime ice cream for my kids- they couldn't eat it, too sour. Left around $200 there, came home hungry. Will not return. read more

This restaurant was recommended to us by another local business. Was it 'All that'. Not really, but it's not bad either... THE ROSES: Ample parking. Very clean space. A very attractively priced 'Happy Hour' menu that offers a surprisingly wide variety of drinks, appetizers, starters, and mains at very reasonable prices. Efficient service. THE THORNS: To be brutally honest, the food is rather 'hit and miss'. A tomato-coconut bisque lacked richness and flavor. If the menu didn't mention that there was coconut milk in it, I wouldn't have known - tastewise, it was MIA. My short rib tagliatelle was really tough and stringy (let's face it: while Short Ribs may still be kind of the 'It Girl' of proteins, the ugly truth is everyone thinks they can cook it, but few do it well). The staff, while efficient, did seem a bit harried. WHY ONLY THREE STARS? Let's face it: there are a LOT of Italian restaurants out there, and EB, while competent, doesn't stand out. It comes across as an somewhat upscale version of Olive Garden, which probably appealed to the clientele that was as bland as the eatery; it was a very white, Boomer/GenX, upper-middle class, middlebrow, 'Polo-shirt-and-Dockers, Nordstrom-shopping, Kenny G-listening kind of crowd. If this sort of environment is your jam, you'll like it here. THE VERDICT: Epulo Bistro isn't bad. It ain't great either. It's like a ball player who can consistently deliver base hits, but never swings for the bleachers. It's kind of like the boyfriend/girlfriend that your parents like, but who just doesn't make you feel all tingly in the nether regions before a date. Sorry, I'm just being honest. Neither recommend nor discourage. read more

I was there last night and overall had a good experience. The service was great. However, I got some kind of corn pizza (I can't find an updated menu). It was extremely cheesy and just overall not something I would ever get again. The menu description made it sound appetizing, but it was honestly terrible. I'm not one to not finish my food, but out of the six pieces, I barely got through two. read more

My husband and I dined here for the first time today and had an AMAZING experience. We were celebrating a special occasion and all the staff helped it feel extra special, but even if we weren't celebrating this is a fantastic place. The staff were knowledgeable, kind and attentive, and the food was 10/10. The menu has good variety but is small enough that they perfect each dish. Seating inside and out is comfortable and but not too crowded. There were people dressed up for dates and also families with young children and all were enjoying themselves. We will be back soon! read more

We came here for Mother's Day dinner and food was real good. We had the bolongese, basilic pesto pasta, short rib, margarita pizza, and halibut. Maybe the basil pesto was a bit heavier than I expected but we had an overall good experience. Staff was attentive and sweet. read more

We came in late at night and service was still spectacular. All servers were very cheerful and kind. Food on the other end, didn't have as much flavor as I would like it to. But the beef was extremely tender, the texture was perfect. The burrata was definitely the highlight of tonight's food. The workers and environment made it worth the visit. read more

Had dinner here one night and loved the beautiful design and atmosphere of the restaurant as well as enjoyed great service and food. I met someone for a business dinner here and we were seated just inside the bar area with a beautiful view of their outside seating area and the dining room. I thought the atmosphere was really upscale and intimate and immediately added this to my list for future date night spots with my husband. Our server was helpful and attentive and made ordering gluten free easy. While there were so many delicious looking options with gf designations next to them on the menu, I couldn't turn down the delicious specials of a local ingredients salad with walnuts and a wonderful tasting cod. Ingredients were fresh and the fish was cooked perfectly. Our server was attentive and friendly and we enjoyed our dinner. Can't wait to bring the husband of mine back for date night! read more

I'm a big fan of Epulo Bistro. I've dined outside, I've dined inside and found one to be relaxing and the other to be charming. I love the atmosphere. It was a captivating quality to its aesthetics. The only time I've gone is during the week, early in the day so typically the restaurant isn't too busy when I'm there. I am an absolute sucker for their cheeseburger. I find it to be utterly delicious - a savory, seasoned patty with plenty of cheese and a soft bun. Their fries are good, but typically I have no room for even a single fry after eating this gigantic burger. It is very filling! The cocktails are on an ever changing list. While they do have staples I typically gravitate toward the seasonal selection which can be hit or miss. I particularly loved their summer variety and had found fall and winter not quite as appealing to me. The service ranges from average to excellent. I've had waitresses who were kind and professional to waitresses who offer suggestions, crack a joke, and really put the welcoming effort. I imagine I will return again in the near future. read more

Return visit for Mother's Day dinner. Sarah provided us with exemplary cordial service, and we got to meet the new owner Victoria who goes by Torie.

Also, good vibes with young pianist playing great dinner music. Will definitely return for patio dining when the weather warms up. read more

BUT, I wish you didn't have to fully change the menu. Please bring back the steak salad, and the rigatoni - or hopefully they will come back??? Soon???? Best items on the menu. Love sitting outside, and the wait staff is always so great. p.s. Jack is the best bartender around!! read more

Epulo Bistro was the perfect Sunday brunch to enjoy the warmth from the sunshine all while being graced with coastal breeze. The menu may appear to be small, but it's very all encompassing offering something for every preference. Everything we ordered was really good, excellent ingredients made great small dishes. The customer service is superb, I made reservations via OpenTable being that our party consist of two under the age of two, I always make a point to leave very detailed notes to ensure the staff can accommodate our party. I greatly appreciate walking into Epulo and our table (and it's location,) being prepared for us. The private enclosed room definitely caught my attention, I will be utilizing for work purposes. We will definitely return, and I highly recommend. read more
