   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!

   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.

   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

   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!

   A surprising pleasant spot in Edmonds next door to the Cascade Art Museum.

   Drinks were good. Menu seemed great but every dish we got was very bland. Not worth the $200+ we ended up paying.

   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.

   Asked for a booth for our anniversary. I was fine with not getting a booth but instead we were seated directly next to the piano, which was so loud we couldn't hear each other talk sitting next to each other. Server was amazing, food was amazing, piano was loud, patrons were mostly retired locals.

   Dear Nikolas, Thanks so much for spending your anniversary with us, and for the honest feedback. We're really glad to hear you enjoyed the food and had great service—that means a lot. That said, we're sorry the piano volume made it hard to enjoy your evening. We definitely want our atmosphere to enhance the experience, not make conversation difficult. We’ll keep this in mind for future seating and sound balance. We hope we get the chance to welcome you back soon!

    Huge change in menu. Salad was way over dressed. The waitress was missing in action. Very disappointed. I used to come there every month for years. Most likely won’t be back.
