"Four of us dined at Charcoal. We've been wanting to try this local restaurant since it opened. It did not disappoint. We loved the location adjacent to the Graphite gallery, the building is airy, uncrowded and has a great vibe. The cocktails were top notch, the cheese platter was good but pretty standard, the cod dish was good as was the crab and butternut squash gnocchi, the stand out dish is the pan seared scallops with an amazing beet puree. Nice wine list. Hopefully we'll return soon to sample desserts."

"The Delish is in the Details MDH invited me out to lunch, so based on a recent review, I suggested Bistro 76 Cafe and Catering, in Perrinville, just north of Edmonds. They're known locally for their breakfasts (including house made cinnamon rolls on the weekends), but we're slow risers. Menu perused, five of six lunch sandwich options were approved for sharing (no mushrooms), and a trade deal was struck. Grilled Cheese and Spiced Butternut Bisque for me, and a Reuben with Sweet Potato and Ham Soup for him. We swapped soup bowls twice. The Spiced Butternut Bisque had more depth of flavor and a hint of sweetness, while the Sweet Potato's little hits of ham made it solidly enjoyable, if simpler. Our sandwiches, of good size, scored points for the artisan bread, toasted but not so crunchy as to rake the roof of your mouth, soft, fresh, rye ciabatta, the tenderest corned beef I've ever had, and white cheddar/smoked gouda and gruyere cheeses, instead of just a basic cheddar or swiss. The tomato and red onion concasse sang in harmony on the Grilled Cheese, and the guinness molasses mustard quietly hummed on the Reuben. Not only was the food tasty, but pretty, too. A zigzag of white crema across the soups, plus a dusting of spice, heightened our anticipation, even before the spoons broke the surface. Everybody knows that sandwiches taste better cut into triangles, with frilly toothpicks. We took home an order of Banh Mi Tacos for dinner (or second lunch, as a hobbit might suggest), because they sounded so good, and will be going out of rotation for a while. Also, since so many folks ask for breakfasty goodness midday, a couple lunch item slots may make way for more morning foods. One of the chefs kindly chatted with us for a bit, and thus we learned that one can sometimes purchase their lemon curd, jam, or salad dressing to take home. Let me sing you a song of lemon curd, with choruses on fresh squeezed juice, butter, sugar and egg yolks, cooked into custardly thickness. Bistro 76 caters, too. When there's kindness in the kitchen, it comes out in the food. Read Seattle Refined's review for more background on the restaurant and its team. P.S. We will soon be getting up early for breakfast on a weekend, if I have anything to say about it. The pictures I've seen of their cinnamon rolls give me hope that somewhere other than my own kitchen, a moist and substantial cinnamon bun is being produced. Most are too fluffy, and dry. That's the reason I still make homemade yeast rolls for holiday meals, too."

"The Keg is my favorite restaurant in the area. Portions are big, service is always great, and the bread is AMAZING. I'd highly recommend getting a Keg Classic. A Keg Classic comes with a salad, an entree, a side, and a medley of vegetables. For dessert I'd recommend the chocolate cake. It's a shame there aren't more Kegs in the area, it really is an amazing chain! Parking: Parking is hit or miss. If you go early you should be able to find a spot. If you go during their busy hours parking can be difficult."

"This restaurant is a fantastic discovery, boasting a tidy and well-kept space with a wide-ranging menu. The atmosphere is tranquil, and the seating is both clean and cozy. I tried the Katsu curry, and it was excellent! It perfectly satisfied my cravings and was quite filling—I even left some rice on my plate! The woman at the front was very friendly and made us feel completely at ease. My friend ordered sushi, which he really enjoyed. I wholeheartedly recommend this place for a quick meal, and I definitely plan to come back! Additionally, I noticed several customers coming in for takeout, which speaks to its popularity and the quality of the food!"

Avanti Pizza Pasta

"I received my pasta dish with the bag positioned sideways, which caused all the sauce to leak out. This could have been a much better experience. For $17, I expected at least one artichoke heart, but there were none. I wouldn't recommend spending your money here. It’s clear they don't take care in preparing the food to ensure it arrives in good condition, and they seem to be cutting corners on quality."
