    I’ll start by saying that Epulo has been my favorite edmonds restaurant for several years, but my most recent experience was a little disappointing. The menu seemed to have changed quite a bit. I’ll start with the good. The clams appetizer and the octopus entree were loved. As well as the strawberry tequila cocktails. And service was wonderful. However, the rigatoni formaggio has been an absolute favorite of mine in the past, but it’s been replaced with a similar dish, Fusilli formaggio. It was fine, and the portion was larger than I remember of the previous version, but the flavor was missing something. Too much of a cream taste and under seasoned. Second, they changed their burrata item. We ordered it the “old way” but it was different too. There was so much balsamic, the portion of burrata was tiny, and the flavor was lacking as well. Overall both were disappointing. We also ordered the short rib, which is also slightly changed from before. It says it’s served with whipped garlic potatoes, but it was more like smashed baked potato chunks, and the dish was lacking seasoning as well. I love when restaurants make updates and improvements, but in my option they missed the mark and messed up a good thing on these particular item. I normally don’t mind paying the higher prices to dine here because the food is usually perfect, but I can’t justify the cost of these updates recipes. I’m hoping it was just a bad night and not the new normal and will give it another try I’m sure.

    All four dishes were great - short ribs, chicken, vegetarian risotto and salmon with mint peas. Service was friendly and quick. Wasn’t the first time and definitely not the last time ! Definitely 2 thumbs up!

    My wife had the risotto. It was undercooked, and the only flavor came from the overabundance of shredded carrots. We know that wine taste varies, but we thought the Rosé was below our expectations.
    Epulo BistroResponded on June 11, 2025
    Hi Dennis, Thank you for your honest review — I'm truly sorry to hear your recent dining experience fell short. It sounds like the risotto didn’t meet our usual standards. We always aim to ensure our guests leave happy, I hope you'll give us another chance to provide a better experience. And please don’t hesitate to let us know if something’s not to your liking — we’re always happy to find something you’ll enjoy! Warm Regards, Heather D. Communications Manager

    Last few times I’ve visited Epulo , didn’t live up to the standards. While some dishes were good, quite a few were underwhelming. In particular, margharita pizza. Crust was undercooked and there was waaay too much cheese in it. I, and our group expected a lot more. Our server was nice

    Celebrated a birthday with a nice shaded outdoor table and a gentle breeze. Ordered salads off the Happy Hour menu and spectacular sockeye salmon and special pork tenderloin. All was prepared very well and we thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience! We were served a tiramisu for a birthday dessert (free of charge) and it was very yummy.

    Both of us love Epulo and chose to celebrate our anniversary there. Our food was absolutely delicious. We very much appreciate the selection of the local bakery, The Cottage, as the bread selection. And it was yummy! The salmon in both of our dishes was so very good. The wine selection is varied and distinctive. The noise level is typical until a train rolls by but that is part of Edmonds!
    Epulo BistroResponded on June 10, 2025
    Hi Kathryn, Thank you so much for celebrating with us! We are so happy you enjoyed all the aspects of your meal with us, it is so nice to hear you enjoyed the salmon and the delicious Cottage bread (we love supporting local too!) I will definitely let Molly know your kind words as well she will be so happy to hear you enjoyed her service that evening! Hope to see you back soon! Warmly, Heather D. Communications Manager
