    Our mains were cold when delivered. My daughter ordered her steak medium rare but it was extremely rare. My gnocchi was also undercooked, and hardly warm. Pur waitress was lovely but something was going down in the kitchen, because things did mot taste right.

    Great seasonal choices for salads and entrees. Good selection of interesting cocktails and wines by the glass. Excellent service - we told our waiter we needed to be out to catch a play and she staged everything with plenty of time so we weren't rushed.

    Live Music was delightful. Josh Rawlins, I believe, was the musician playing piano. My husband and I had fun seeing who could name the song first. My Husband had an Old Fashion which was basically Whiskey on ice, no garnish at all. He had the Petite Steak, which he said was very tender. He ate every bite on his plate. I had the Short Ribs. they were very tender and flavorful. we both enjoyed the food very much. We'll be back. Can't wait to enjoy the beautiful deck.

    Hi Richard, Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the live music—Josh is a true talent, and it's great to hear you had such fun interaction with his playing! We're glad you both enjoyed your meals, those are definitely favorites for a reason! We appreciate your feedback on the Old Fashioned as well; we'll pass that along to the bar team to make sure it's consistently served as expected. We can't wait to welcome you back—hopefully on a beautiful day so you can enjoy the deck! Warmly, Heather D. Communications Manager

    We didn't know that Epulo's happy hour now ends at 5 (instead of 6), but noted that for next time. We ordered from the new dinner menu--garden salad, beet salad, bolognese, gnocchi, all good, the bolognese is the best of the main dishes. Really delicious. Tiramisu and banana bread pudding for dessert. Tiramisu not traditional, but tasty. Bread pudding was good, not too sweet. Cocktails well made, and wines by the glass of a decent pour, and the service was patient, attentive and not at all hovering. We like Epulo quite a lot and plan to return, keeping the new hours--especially the happy hour!--in mind. Great place to have in the neighborhood!

    Hi Anne, Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We are so glad you enjoyed the new dinner menu and our desserts while you were in. The bread pudding is definitely a favorite among our guests and our staff as well! We’re also grateful for your understanding about the happy hour change and are excited to welcome you back soon. It means a lot to us to be a part of the neighborhood and to have guests like you who appreciate what we do. Warm regards, Heather D. Communications Manager

    Epulo offers an amazing ambiance and I couldn't think of a better place to be when the sun is out. A fantastic live piano player filled the space with fun but not distracting music and our server was so sweet and welcoming. We ordered the crispy artichoke hearts and they were delicious. I ordered the gnocchi with salmon/shrimp and I was just very surprised by how heavy the dish was. The sauce featured a heavy oil and/or butter base and it just coated everything - while the flavor was good, it didn't appeal much to me. My husband loved his bolognese. I want to go back because there was plenty on the menu I would like to try, I may just ask for suggestions so to not order a dish with a similar vibe.
    Epulo BistroResponded on May 29, 2025
    Hi Mallory! Thank you so much for your review! I am so glad to hear you had a great time with your server and the live music! I am very sorry that the gnocchi wasn't what you expected, I hope the next time you are in we can wow you with one of our other delicious dishes! Our servers are always happy to suggest their favorites and best selling plates! We hope to see you in soon! Thanks so much, Heather D. Communications Manager

    Sarah provided outstanding cordial service. New owner Victoria visited our table to welcome us. Petite filet was perfectly rare and delicious. Piano music added a nice vibe to the ambiance. We'll be back for patio dining when weather warms up
    Epulo BistroResponded on May 21, 2025
    Hi Jim! Thanks so much for the great review! We're happy to hear Sarah took good care of you and that you got to meet Victoria—she loves connecting with our guests. Glad you enjoyed the petite filet and the piano music vibe. We agree, the patio is a great spot once the weather cooperates. Can’t wait to have you back soon!

    Drinks were good. Menu seemed great but every dish we got was very bland. Not worth the $200+ we ended up paying.
    Epulo BistroResponded on May 21, 2025
    Hi Anant, Thanks for sharing your experience with us. We're glad you enjoyed the drinks, but we’re really sorry to hear that the food didn’t live up to your expectations—especially given the cost. That’s definitely not the experience we aim to provide. We take comments like yours seriously and will be sharing this with our kitchen team to see how we can do better. We’d love a chance to make it right if you decide to give us another try.
