"So delicious! We went for the Valentine's prix fixe on Valentines weekend. Everything was perfect. All three starters were fantastic. The pork belly on a furikake rice cake was like an elevated spam musubi. It was cooked to perfection with amazing flavors. The calamari steak on frisee was served perfectly. The soy and blood orange dressing was soooo good. They brought back the brussel sprout caesar that has always been a favorite of mine. The entrees were also amazing. Perfectly cooked filet mignon, a salmon that had the best char on the outside and melted in your mouth. And then the scallop risotto with perfectly cooked scallops. Charcoal never disappoints and this meal was no exception. Can't wait to go back for the new mixed grill platter."

"It feels like one of the last great neighborhood joints is still going strong, but, thankfully, there are still plenty of other great neighborhood joints. You can't escape that feeling here, though--so friendly, packed during peak times, people rubbing elbows indoors and out on the patio. Good cocktails, amazing values on the wine list, and awesome hearty Italian cooking. Scratch-made Caesar salad, sandwiches that can feed 3-4 people, fantastic pasta dishes going many different directions across the menu. The specials are really where it's at here. The bread they bring out for the table is fresh and excellent."

"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."

"Cocktails were very well done, the food was very tasty, and the server was very friendly. However, my girlfriend and I both got food poising. We called into the restaurant to let them know, but were quickly dismissed. The staff member who picked up the phone was obviously not interested in hearing our issue, quickly shoeing us off of the phone and not taking our contact info before hanging up. A disappointing experience, and would definitely think twice about going back. UPDATE: The manager reached out and apologized for our experience. She assured to us that she holds the restaurant and staff to a higher standard than what we experienced, and she encouraged us to give Epulo another chance by giving us a generous gift card (a very kind gesture). Although our first experience was subpar, management seems on top of things and is very professional. We will certainly be giving Epulo another try, after which I will update this review again. For the time being, I am updating my rating to 4 stars due to such a positive experience with management."

"I really enjoy her bubble milk teas, but after trying more items from the menu, I've discovered that there's so much more than just bubble tea that tastes great. I also appreciate that they're open pretty late. I highly recommend this place; I always feel right at home here."
