    Decided to give Epulo a try again after a long time pause from the last few times of poor service and food quality. Well, last nights dinner was regrettably the same experience - nothing has changed and will not be returning. The restaurant itself has a nice atmosphere.

    The food was unique and delicious. The service was perfect. But I have a couple of issues. Considering the price point is high, my mahi mahi was overly dry, and the grapefruit martini was the smallest martini I've ever been served. Two of my girls had the same martini and they agreed.

    Excellent, professional service from Heather and others. Food was delicious; we had burrata traditional style and in a salad, and a pasta with foraged mushrooms.

    We had a 5:30 reservation and our table was ready, right on time. Sara was our waitperson, and she was terrific. Attentive, even though she was helping out in the busy banquet room. Drinks were delicious, food tasty--green salads, brussels sprouts, clams, 2 pasta dishes. Noise level was good so we were able to hear each other! Another pleasant dining experience, thank you.

    We waited at least ten minutes before our waitress appeared to take our sink order and didn’t apologize for the wait. I also noted it was a birthday which they never even acknowledged.
    Epulo BistroResponded on July 9, 2025
    Hi Kristy, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I'm so sorry to hear that your visit didn’t meet expectations, especially on what should have been a special occasion. I sincerely apologize for the delay in service and for not acknowledging the birthday being celebrated — that’s not the level of hospitality we strive to provide. I will be addressing this with our service staff so we can improve in the future. We hope to see you again so we can make it right. Warm regards, Heather D. Communications Manager

    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.
