Epulo Bistro - Edmonds

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.

The place was really nice and the service was good; I was really excited for the food after reading some reviews, but it was really not all that great. I was very disappointed by the zeppole, as they were really tough to eat—we all just had one bite and left them there Food: 3 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4

Excellent restaurant. Quite cozy, food was great, wine very good. Great special dinner or date night spot. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Our server, Sarah, was terrific: did not rush us, made us comfortable, and even took a photo of us. The food was perfection, too: beef short ribs for him and shrimp and sausage for me. Great experience. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
