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 food is ok. We ordered the pretzel with the cheese sauce. The pretzel was extremely salty, the cheese was very stringy. I ordered the chicken masala for dinner. Definitely didn't look like chicken masala and more of a thick gravy texture. The chicken looked like it was boiled and then covered with the sauce unlike panfried and then simmered into the sauce.

In long It's even cooler when the weather's nice enough to sit outside, because they have a deck facing the water. On a cold or wet day, though, there are a couple dozen tables inside, and one of them has a firepit in it. You walk up a ramp from a busy street, and inside you see old dock pilings and ship rope cordoning off the upper bar from the main dining area. Kids are welcome, at least part of the day. We rolled in for a late lunch, and found a HH menu on the table. Perfect timing! 25% off drinks and apps. Our server was friendly, knew the menu cold, and had everything written down right away. They clearly know what they're doing here. We had waters before we knew it, and cocktails not long after. I got the southwest burger, which is messy af, but worth it. Good flavor all the way through, cooked perfectly medium. She had the seafood basket with tots, which was all also exactly at temp. The chunk of whitefish was steaming hot, really juicy. Scallops were legit. Big props to them for their tartar sauce--awesome dill pickle flavor. It gets loud in here, and rumor has it the owner is often in the corner, keeping an eye on everything. I could see it being pretty insane for a big game. They have lots of Kraken signage up, and you know it's a Hawks bar too. It kinda seems like everybody in Edmonds who's fun to be around has probably hung out in here, maybe multiple times. It definitely felt like the whole neighborhood was welcome and well taken care of. We had 2 entrees and 4 cocktails for $80. These days that's getting to be a fantastic value, especially at a place where they do everything right. I'd happily come back.

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. Happy to recommend and visit again.

The pickled radish balanced the bone marrow so well, and the flavor of the marrow w the seasoning was a great balance of savory flavors. The Santa Maria Plate had chicken, picanha, skirt steak, and sausage, but we asked for the extra surf and turf that came with scallops and prawn. The meat was very well prepared, with specific high marks for the skirt steak. Perfectly cooked and had that charcoal flavor you just can't recreate. The resateaunt is situated next to an art gallery and offers views into the gallery which is such a nice design touch and adds to the overall ambiance and experience. The serve was also high quality and very attentive. Overall, we had a great experience and I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a date night.

Staff were attentive and the space is modern with an open kitchen. My group ordered the roasted beets, grilled calamari, and steak lettuce cups. I really enjoyed the roasted beets and the grilled calamari - I would highly recommend ordering those. I wasn't particularly a fan the steak lettuce cups. For dinner I ordered the Picanha. I would happily order that again - great flavor from the fat cap and I actually couldn't even finish it. My group also ordered the duck confit from the fresh sheet, the salmon and the steak salad, which they enjoyed. We also ordered dessert. We had the cheesecake and the sorbet. I'm a fan cheesecake already and Charcoal's cheesecake just added a spin with the carmelized pineapple. I don't live in the area, but I would add Charcoal to my list if I did!

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.

The food is generally very good at Rusty Pelican. We eat at the Mill Creek location often and…read morealways enjoy it. Prices are high, but you get what you pay for. That said, we waited nearly an hour for a table for our party of six. They sat us in a booth, clearly designed for 4. A large metal bar sits on the edge of the booth just under the fabric, but there isn't a way to avoid sitting on it when crammed in. OK, it's very uncomfortable, but so be it. The check comes, the (excellent) server graciously separates the bill for us which I appreciate. She added a 20% gratuity which I understand for large parties. However, I did some basic math and recognized they add the tip amount and then charge tax on the bill plus the tip. I pointed this out to the server but she was clearly too busy to do anything about it. While for our table, it's not a ton of money, over time and who knows how many tables, this is, in my opinion a massive and unacceptable mistake.

This restaurant is perfect for dogs since they have a covered patio! It's comfortable but not super casual, making for a delightful ambiance. I like that you order at the counter and your food is brought to you. The servers are kind and make sure to take care of you! To drink, I had their special lavender mocha, iced. 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!

And the sandwich had great flavor and the chicken was cooked well. The service fell short for us. We ordered drinks which didn't come out until our food did -- which was almost a 25 minute wait. When the food did come out, I was brought the wrong meal and had to wait longer. For me, the prices are also a little steep for the portion sizes and also not having a server. Luckily the taste of the food was great! We sat outside -- which was nice patio area. There were also a handful of tables inside but they were all full.
