Their ads aren't exaggerating when they simply state "The Best Steak in Town". Whenever money is no object, this is where I go for a great evening with world-class service and food that is consistently fabulous. Expect to pay between $70 and $100 per person for a full dinner with appetizers, cocktail, drinks, desert, and espresso. To me this is the gold standard when it comes to steaks. You always get them exactly the way you order them, and they are amazing! Don't even think about pouring some steak sauce over them.
And the reason I love Seattle is that even at a place like this, the waiters are down to earth and casual, even though they're wearing white coats, and don't look at you funny if you show up wearing jeans. That's not to say that they aren't professional, they are; and they strike that perfect balance of being there whenever you need them, and leaving you alone when you don't.

We go here frequently. It's sometimes difficult to get in on a Saturday or Sunday, by Edmonds standards anyway (15-20 minute wait is the longest we've had). But it's well worth it. The staff is efficient and very friendly. The food is excellent. I particularly like their regular "American breakfast" (2 eggs, ham, bacon, or sausage, potatoes), the breakfast burrito is wonderful, and they have amazing raisin French toast. Good espresso drinks, too. I love the atmosphere, it's lively but not annoyingly so. If I had to pick one thing that they could improve on, it's that they don't have specials or seasonal menus. Prices are very much middle of the road.
It turns more upscale for dinner, but it's still a good value. Their tomato bisque soup is to die for (and can be bought in a jar for home).

I really wanted to like this place. After all, the location is fabulous, right by the Edmonds Marina with breathtaking views of the water and mountains, next to the fishermen's dock. Edmonds needs a good fish and seafood restaurant, unfortunately, this isn't it.
The ambiance is just sad with wax tablecloth, patio-like chairs and tables, and poor light. And waiters really don't seem all that eager to please.
All of this would probably still warrant an okay rating, if it weren't for the quality of the food. In three separate visits -- I really wanted to give them another chance, twice! --, I reluctantly ate just enough to satisfy my immediate appetite and left the rest. It's grease fest galore, with bland seasoning and little creativity. Prices are about average, but too high for what you're getting. I'm waiting for a change in management, maybe I'll give them another try at that point.

I go to Moda regularly for my haircut. Not the cheapest place around, but also not overpriced like some Seattle salons. I think they provide a very good value, everybody is extremely pleasant to deal with, and they certainly know what they're doing. Never got a bad haircut. It seems like the staff is happpy to be working there. Would definitely recommend.
