Strange experience. No coffee available, did not have wine that was on the menu, no drinks menu. Have to use phone to read code to get to menu. Service was not great. No bad, the food was pretty good but overall experience poor. Will most likely not go back.

It was a quiet evening with the rain and Father's Day. Fried artichokes were the bomb and the salmon was ok. Not as good as last time. And no tiramisu because the chef was off for the night.

Everything was so delicious. My husband had the bisque and the steak with Gorgonzola sauce. I had the burrata and the mushroom risotto with prawns. The cocktails (old fashioned and espresso martini) were delicious too. 10/10 would go back. The only thing we didn’t like was that the chairs were too short (or maybe the tables were too tall?) Either way we felt like little kids sitting there.

It’s a small space and parties of 4+ make it very noisy. Uncomfortable, unable to converse, LOUD. Our food was delicious (Caesar salad and Loft burger) except the sliders. They were overcooked to the point of hard. There was no saving them. We ordered dessert for the first time and probably the last. The doughnut balls were crispy and sweet on the outside but very undercooked on the inside. They do not have any decaf coffee. Only espresso and only caffeinated. What’s up with that? Overall it was an ok meal but just surprisingly short of other times we’ve been there.

Very small place, very quiet and dim. We had the upstairs loft (maybe 5-6 tables?) to ourselves since we went early so that was lovely. Downstairs is just a handful of tables + bar, so quite small place. Dim lights hide the wear and tear on the building if you don't look too closely (torn wallpaper, cracked seats, duct taped vent, etc.). Service was excellent - courteous and friendly. Food was good, but nothing extraordinary. Truffle fries tasted like regular fries to us (no noticeable truffle flavor), but were great for regular fries - crisp and salty. Burrata was my favorite item - good flavor combinations with grilled bread. We also ordered the Wagyu sliders and hubby was pleased with them. Prices felt high to me, but I don't frequently dine out and probably have lost track of what inflation has done to restaurant prices.

The food was phenomenal! My friend and I had a hard time deciding on what to order so we shared two small plates and an entree, which was just filling enough for the two of us. We had the fried artichoke, heirloom caprese, and gnocchi with prawns. 10/10 recommend. The only disappointing thing was that we had made a reservation specifically for restaurant week but upon arrival we were told they were not participating this week. This came to a surprise since we made reservations from the restaurant week web link. Once we got over the news, we thoroughly enjoyed our visit.

The place is great. Food is great, although our hamburger, that we asked for on the "medium well side, but not dry" was rather raw. If we were not with our Mom for her birthday we would have had it taken back, but did not want to hold the family up from eating.

Got here early , 4:15 reservation. The outside back deck was empty . I had requested outside. She offered us to sit everywhere inside or the crappy front outdoor area. I said well can we sit back there. She said uh let me check. So then I said I had made a reservation to sit outside . I didn’t think it mattered since the place literally had 2 seated tables. We sat out back and the meal was ok. The Caprese was very good. The carbonara was average. Not super rich tasting, like I expect carbonara to be. Again, just ok. Our server was pleasant and kept our waters full. We’d been hiking all day so drinks didn’t sound good. There are so many choices in Edmonds, we will choose differently next time.

Food lacked flavor and was disappointing. Portions were small for the price. Bartender wore so much cologne it interfered with the food that was served. With so many better, high quality options in Edmonds, we will not give this a second chance.

We had dinner there on the patio and thoroughly enjoyed everything. We were at the tables on Main Street and loved seeing all of the people walking down the street enjoying the sunshine. Our dinner was great with Manila Clams, Kobe Sliders and Artichoke fries. Our waitperson was wonderful . We look forward to dining there again soon.

Everything was delicious and service was really great! The only thing I wasn’t a fan of is the tables where so close together I could hear the conversations of the table next to us and I’m sure they could hear ours. Other then that I thought the drinks where delicious and our server was super helpful (I wish I remembered his name).

Staff was very friendly, but took a while to get waters and menus since it was hard to pull up the digital menu. However, after that, the drinks,service,k and food was very good. Recommend the burrata to start or for just happy hour with drinks. The Gnocchi in cream sauce is yummy and I added shrimp. We also had Fish Tacos and Alaskan Halibut which were both tasty! Give it a try! It was our first visit and hope to go back.
