Our daughter's birthday celebration at Katana was lovely! We ordered a variety of appetizers, specialty rolls, entrees, cocktails (including N/A) and everything was delicious. Some of us were not experienced sushi eaters and the staff was great in educating us on what things were. They also gave a complimentary dessert to the birthday girl! A great time!

About the restaurant

The PNW landscape easily lends itself to Italian cuisine. Similar to that of Mediterranean towns, Edmonds is just steps away from Ocean’s Bounty, minutes from the closest vineyards and just hours from some of the best agricultural resources in the nation. Join us as we welcome you into our home for a delightful meal that Nonna would be proud of!

This restaurant is fantastic. Food is top notch, service is excellent and we always enjoy coming here. A nice selection of seafood and meat, it is expensive, but worth it as part of our weekend trips. It does get quite busy, so a reservation is a good idea.

Rare Society - Mill Creek

Steakhouse

Mill Creek

About the restaurant

Sink your teeth into Rare Society - a modern homage to the golden age of the American steakhouse. Chef and owner Brad Wise reimagines vintage upscale dining with a bold, contemporary edge: a wood-fired grill fueled by red oak, an in-house dry-aging program, sustainably sourced seafood, and a progressive cocktail menu that nods to the classics while pushing boundaries. The space hums with energy - smoke curling from the grill, the scent of fire and flavor wafting through the air. It’s easy to picture a Rat Pack-era dinner party in full swing: elegant, indulgent, just a little unruly. Rare Society doesn’t just pay tribute to steakhouse tradition - it revives it, reinvents it, and serves it with just a little bit of swagger.

Exceptional hospitality from check-in through dessert. Our server, Sarah, was wonderful and gave us great suggestions. Other staff were very attentive and solicitous. Food was excellent quality and well-prepared, if a little heavy on the salt. Environment is fun, vibrant and classy. Looking forward to our next visit!

About the restaurant

Benvenuto amici!
Welcome friends!

At Tula Bene, expect an experience that is approachable, fun and upbeat, yet focused. When you dine with us, you will experience seasonal dishes that are prepared to order with fresh produce, meats and seafood. Many of our ingredients like ricotta, yogurt, and sausage, even our limoncello, are made in-house.

Savor a juicy steak grilled over cherry wood, a mouth-watering lobster ravioli, or a 1/2 chicken, roasted to order in the woodstone oven. To compliment your meal, add an Italian wine such as a robust Sangiovese from our award-winning, European focused wine list of over 450 different wines, one of our 47 wines available by the glass, or a handcrafted cocktail like the Bella Rossa featuring our home-made limoncello. Top off your meal with a delicious dessert, like the Caramelized white chocolate budino paired with our custom espresso.

The staff was exceptional. They continually touched our table to ask if everything was okay and were extremely pleasant and helpful. The food, which there is a lot of, was overall very good. I couple of tough bites of meat, but everything else was tasty. The grilled cheese with hot honey was a hit at our table.
