My husband enjoyed the short rib hash so much he ate it all and was feeling quite full! It is a large enough portion for two! I had the tuna poke and it was fabulous! Our friend had the burger and loved it. Excellent food, service, and ambiance. We look forward to the next opportunity.

Awesome food and great service. The pork belly app and mussels were world-class. The paella was also fantastic, but could’ve used more shellfish and less salmon (frankly, it would’ve been better if the menu said “salmon”, it just said the dish included “market fish”). That being said, I gave the salmon to my wife and she said it was delicious.

Good food and quiet place but nothing really special. Menu choices somewhat limited to our taste and portions were a bit small.

Always a consistent and excellent meal, service and ambiance. Each meal was perfect - tostada, shrimp tacos and crab sandwich. Very good non-alcoholic drink selection.

We had a small birthday lunch with friends. It was excellent and I highly recommend the shrimp ceviche for an appetizer to share and then the churros for dessert. Delicious!

We love EDK but last night the food was off. The Carpaccio had stringy tough pieces (which it never has before). The squash soup was without much taste and barely warm. I think it must have just been a weird night since normally we love everything at EDK. We will return.

Hi, I sincerely apologize for your experience on Saturday night. I have addressed the issues with Chef, definitely not our normal experience. I have gone ahead and refunded the Carpaccio and Soup. Hope to welcome you back soon. Best, Maureen Bell General Manager
