Demetris Woodstone Taverna

This is a favorite go to place in Edmonds. The food is fantastic, especially if you are GF and missing fried foods in your life. Their Firecracker shrimp is perfection. Crispy, savory, and the perfect amount of heat. Their fish and chips are delicious and the portions are big enough to share. Plus, who doesn't love a piece of perfect chocolate torte? It happened to be my birthday so there's a bit extra celebration involved. They offer indoor and outdoor seating. It's always busy (because it's delicious) so get there early or make a reservation.

Never have I EVER had a most delicious burger like this. Waiting for ferry and decided to order a burger to go. If you are ever in Edmonds WA this is an absolute must have! D's Burger You get Two patties custom made with a blend of pepperoni, bacon, and beef with cheddar. It had cheddar, tomato, lettuce, applewood smoked bacon, an onion ring & Serrano aioli on a brioche bun. Served w/fries! Absolutely the best. It will surprise you. Best $22 spent.

Good experience but not perfect. My spicy garlic prawns ($18 appetizer) were not spicy (king of bland really). My steak in bistro steak and fritters was chewy. The rest of our party were reasonably happy with their dishes.

Great View, Mixed Food, and Loud Atmosphere We recently visited Demetris Woodstone Taverna in Edmonds. The waterfront location is beautiful, and the ambiance is cozy, but the overall experience was a bit uneven. We tried several dishes. The street corn with ricotta cheese bruschetta was the standout—absolutely delicious and full of flavor. However, the garlic fries were topped with raw, overpowering garlic, which made them hard to enjoy. The Maine lobster roll lacked seasoning, and the lamb burger was overly meaty and dense. The Mediterranean flatbread was decent but didn’t leave a lasting impression. Service was friendly and attentive, but the noise level made it hard to hear both our server and each other, which took away from the dining experience. Overall, Demetris has a great setting and some strong menu items, but the food was hit-or-miss and the loud environment made it less relaxing than we’d hoped.

Amazing ocean view if you visited at the right time. Food was delicious, environment was pleasant. Great place to invite friends and family for dinner.

I was really looking forward to eating here as my favorite dishes are prime rib dip and clam chowder. Everything started great was seated promptly on a Saturday night with no reservation we sat on the patio which was nice. It took a bit to get our order placed but it being a Saturday night it was no big deal. I proceeded to order two starters a crab dip and a clam chowder Bowl along with my main course a prime rib dip and a lobster roll. That's when everything went downhill after waiting to receive my starters I see the server approaching with my two main course items. With no starters in sight the server proceeds to ask what is wrong I said I have not received my starters yet. The server lets me cancel the appetizers since they were not delivered before my main course. As I was eating my dip I noticed a piece of paper or food on my plate that has not been properly washed so I lost my appetite. I was really looking forward to experiencing the restaurant but oh well things happen. There was a piece of hair on my plate as well but I cannot verify if it came from me or not. So we were only able to enjoy one of the four plates that we ordered.

We celebrated our anniversary at the Taverna on winter solstice...got right in with reservations, although later in the evening a line formed to get in. We had a selection of small plates for dinner...bacon wrapped dates, firecracker shrimp, artichoke bottoms, beet salad, and grilled steak flatbread. Portions were large enough to share and still have some for lunch the following day. All were excellent and flavorful. While service slowed a bit as they got busier, the staff remained pleasant and attentive. Thank you to the staff and patrons who helped recognize our special day.

Went with friends. Got a great table on patio for 6. Fast service. Friendly staff. My meal was really good. Had the steak bowl. The train went by about 5 times while we were eating. Impossible to talk during the 2-3 minutes it's passing by. But it is what it is.

What a cute place at an amazing location right by the water next to the ferry. Gorgeous! Not only do they have lots of space inside but there is also a large outdoor patio. I met here with my coworkers for lunch on a Sunday. Yes it was busy there. And the waitress was stressed and absolutely NOT friendly at all. It took a long time to get any orders in and food out. It's hard to truly judge the food when service is that bad. I'll start with dessert since that was the highlight. Key lime pie: 4/5. Mexican donuts with caramel sauce: 3/5: caramel sauce ruined the donuts. They seemed freshly made, not too sweet and kinda chewy texture. They could be 5/5 with a good sauce! Chocolate chip and oatmeal cookie with ice cream: 5/5 worth it!! Chocolate mousse cake: 4/5 Creme brûlée: 4/5 very smooth texture, sugar was too burnt but nice and thin. Food: Brie and apples: 2/5 too sweet, wish there was more Brie than apples. Pear Gorgonzola prosciutto flatbread: 4/5. Very good except the Canned pears?? Brunch Paella: 4/5: lots of meat, rice is crispy which I like. Served with 4 sunny side up eggs. $60 though?? However it is big enough for 2-4 people depending on your portion size. Firecracker shrimp: 5/5 this was my favorite! Calamari: 5/5 very good, not greasy. Served with a delicious tangy cilantro lime sauce. Fries: 5/5. Cos-no-politan: 1/5. $12 for 4oz of watered down juice with lime. Waste of money.

This place was delicious with fast service. We had a last minute large group show up and they were able to sit us right away. Their outdoor seating is covered and heated. Its was very comfortable. They had plenty of choices for food and it didnt disappoint.

Picked this restaurant for a brunch date a few months ago and it ended up being a good pick. Seating was perfect given we went on a weekday afternoon. Food and drink menu was excellent. Will have to return on a weekend to give a better review.

We came in here with a group of 14 fit a friends birthday and they were incredibly accommodating for our reservation in putting tables together, bringing the cake out to us and cutting it and serving it, and allowing us to pay for our meals separately. The food here was quite good. The Brussel sprouts were quite good and everyone lived the shrimp (I'm allergic so i couldn't say). We loved our sandwiches and my husband added and egg to his burger which he said was cooked perfectly

Came for dinner at 4:30 on Friday and were pleasantly surprised to find Happy Hour which featured great deals on drinks and a couple amazing food options. We got the Calamari Tenders which were a very unique cut; a little meaty but good. The spicy aioli dip served with them was amazing! The Fish & Chips was awesome! It was a tempura batter style but was a very thin layer which allowed for a great level of crispness without any greasiness. It was also well seasoned and served with a delicious tartar. The Crispy Brussels were fantastic! The Grilled Salmon tacos which was a huge portion with great accompaniments. The mango provided delectable sweetness complimented by a spicy aioli, red onions, and cilantro. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive. The restaurant is cute and cozy and featured really cool live moss mermaids at the entrance! The dining area also have multiple tables featuring great views of the Edmonds ferry and Pudget Sound.

Great spot on Main near ferry. Nice patio for summer dining. Friendly staff and very positive busy vibe. Took my servers advice and ordered the mussels dripping in an excellent creamy curry sauce. Very fresh seafood and a huge selection of dishes to choose from. Normally that would turn me off but everything looked really good Highly recommends

I treated my friend to brunch for her birthday on Saturday and we both really enjoyed ourselves! All of our food and drinks were delicious. Our waitress Katrina was terrific, friendly and efficient. We sat outside which was lovely most of the time ... except when a train went by. When that happened, it was crazy loud and impossible to talk at all until the train was past. Still, we had fun and will return to try other dishes.

Very nice place! The staff were quick to seat us, kind, and very helpful. There were 8 of us and we were seated in this nice little private room. EVERYTHING that everyone ordered was excellent, even the kids meals were enjoyed by our little ones. The pear-Gorgonzola flatbread was good but more like a dessert. Great shopping areas right around there in downtown Edmonds.

It's unassuming from the outside, but warm and inviting inside. Amber lighting, and interesting seating - a few round or 1/2 moon corner booths, and a deck with a view of Brackett's Landing. It was quite full tonight, but not particularly noisy. Good acoustics, maybe. A nice place to dine alone, or with friends. A bit more sophisticated than some of the nearby family-friendly places. My friend & I both had the beet salads- mine with the additional chicken breast. Reasonably priced and tasty. The cloth napkin was a nice touch - something that's become anachronistic, but makes a difference. If I had one complaint, it would be: why not a cotton rather than the polyester napkin that was coarse and non-absorbent? Good job, Demetris.

This place is an edmonds classic! It's in a beautiful location right on the water, the food is delicious and portions are good. They have a very versatile menu there's something for everyone. Service is always sweet and efficient. Definitely recommend for a nice dine in experience.

came here late on Father's day! Great service and food was wonderful, GF fish and Chips! was able to sit outside! was just beautiful and friendly! Have already recommended to a friend and would come again!

We got seated right away and our service was great. I think our waitress was new because she didn't know what the soup of the day was and got one of our orders wrong, but was very apologetic and corrected it right away. We had a great time and enjoyed our food.

I've been here several times. It can get busy, especially around sunset time, but the sunsets from the deck are amazing. Plus ferries and trains coming and going. Food has always been spot on, cocktails are delicious if pricey, and the servers are knowledgeable and professional to a person.

Food was delicious and our server was so nice and informative. We sat in covered patio. My only negative of the dining experience was that there it sits next to train tracks and the train passes by every few minutes making a conversation a bit hard to hear. I still highly recommend coming here. I will definitely be back here with family and friends

Nice place for a tasty light meal and beer. The flatbread and seafood is worth a try. Getting outdoor seating to enjoy the view can be challenging - especially when greeted by an uninspired hostess.

Came by on a Tuesday afternoon and got seated at a table outside right away. They have heaters which make it nice and cozy! The calamari appetizer was very tender and delicious, and I got the ancient grains bowl which I ended up boxing half of to take home. The restaurant is right on the waterfront by the ferry and railroad, so it's fun to watch the happenings but be prepared for some traffic noise here and there

We went there on a Saturday night and it was quite busy. We'er a family of six so we were expecting some wait. Surprisingly they were able to seat us quick five minutes after we went in. We ordered a bunch of different things like tuscan chicken (i think thats what its called), salmon, firecracker shrimp, bruschetta, Alfredo fettuccine, and some steak. We also ordered the seafood basket which went quick. I had the tuscan chicken and I cleaned the plate. Another thing we would recommend is either the salmon or the steak my brothers really enjoyed. Overall the inside ambiance is great too. Slightly dimmed lights with some light. We were able to get a table where there were direct lights over us.

Excellent food, friendly service, great variety for lunch and brunch. Indoor and outdoor seating that is comfortable. Great view of the Edmonds waterfront and Ferry. Highly recommend!

The food here continues to be amazing and priced well. I'm from out of town, Hawaii to be exact, and since being introduced to the place a year ago we've been back 2 more times. You've got to get their gyros!!

We all ordered gyros. 2 were lamb. The meat had no seasoning. It tasted like it was boiled in plan water. The server never brought the extra sauce until I hailed the bartender. He also never came back to allow us to pay. We walked up to the front and waited and waited as all staff ignored us. I finally walked back in and found the hostess in the middle of the restaurant and requested to pay someone for our lunch. Our server showed up a minute later, but had to go find a working handheld device to accept our payment. The Brussel sprouts were delicious, they were well seasoned.

I went in and sat at the bar for a quick lunch. the restaurant was about half full, with plenty of seats at the bar. Bartender took an order of the couple who sat down next to me, then walked away without acknowledging my existence. So I returned to the hostess and asked to place an order to go. The whole vibe from the staff felt unwelcome. When one hostess left to place my to-go order the other hostess apologized, which is why I give 2 stars to an otherwise disappointing experience. The so-called 'flatbread' was ok. It was more like a $25 personal-size west coast pizza, on a thick and gooey undercooked bread -- not crust, not flakey at all -- definitely not a flatbread. I understand the premium pricing, being next to the ferry terminal, but with such poor service, and food that was just meh, I see no reason to ever visit this restaurant again.

Randomly came here with some friends. Let me start with the hostess. VERY RUDE. Not a good start. Seemed very annoyed with us. Oh well. Once we got seated it was okay. Our server wasn't as bad but wasn't very happy serving us. Very whatever with us. Anyways. The food was Mid. The ambiance was nice. The decor was cute. But the service and the welcome face when we walked in was just bad. We won't be coming back here. I get better service an McDonald's. Very disappointing for a place on the waters of Edmonds. Ps the steak was seasoned nicely.

I like the environment. The lobster roll is not very good. All the meat not from lobster body. Other dishes are good.

we loved this place! Mallory was amazing! she was so kind and went above and beyond! we will be back.

Went for brunch. Ordered crab benedict and a tuna avocado sandwich. Food was not hot when it arrived. Bite of the benedict resulted in biting down on a large chunk of egg shell in my mouth with honestly killed my appetite. The potatoes were cold and a bit slimy. Tuna in sandwich was lacking, tuna did not feel fresh rather it was canned tuna, which I think we had higher expectations for with how much seafood was on the menu.

Just finished lunch and I have to say it was 100% better than the last time I was here... the gluten free fish and chips were incredible!! The staff was friendly and the view was incredible!

Ordered lamb gyro. Expected Greek gyro as this is a Greek style restaurant. Got what looked right BUT had nondescript meat that looked like overcooked pot roast (stringy, chopped, dry). there was no seasoning of any kind. Bland. No Person of Greek heritage would eat this. Service a joke. Tourist trap.

Food was super meh. Probably closer to 2 stars for price and quality of food. The train careening by was also not good for a sensory sensitive friend. But, it's Edmonds - on the water! My mom loved it - but she is super to please. Service was good for how busy they were. Will probably go back - but set my expectation lower.

Located by the Edmonds waterfront, ferry terminal, and Brackett's Landing parks, Demetris Woodstone Taverna is at a prime location for stellar business. We arrived in a group of 13 for a 1pm lunch. I never expect service to be spectacular when there are so many of us. But credit to the server, Heide W, we all thought she did a great job. We each got our own checks, too. That's a lot to manage. Well done. We ordered from the lunch menu. The place isn't cheap given the address. Other than small bites, there's nothing under $20. Just a heads up. The deco is old-school seaside decorated. It's not my thing, but it matches the address. The place is big and good for groups. The Food: Firecracker Shrimp Po Boy Roll, $25 - 3 Stars Menu: Firecracker Shrimp, house po boy remoulade sauce, tomato, onion, and romaine The sandwich itself was terrific, like 2000 calories kind of naughty terrific. It was a lot greaser than I anticipated. Fried shrimps (as expected), remoulade sauce (greasy, creamy, as expected), I missed the detail that the bun is also soaked in butter and pan seared. So good, yet so bad for me. Doh. The sandwich is maybe 3.5 or 4 stars. The house cut fries, on the other hand, were cold. How does a busy restaurant that serves fries with nearly every dish serve cold fries? I rolled my eyes at them and put my half-bitten fry back down. I am very picky with my fries. Well, I figured the sandwich already exceeded my week's allowance for grease, so I didn't bother to alert the server. The fries went home to be heated instead. 1 Star for the fries. 3 Stars for the meal.

The restaurant boasts outdoor seating with stunning views and sunsets. It's a warm, comfortable, and inviting spot for patrons. The Oyster Shooters were great which comes in a pair of oyster shots served with house-made cocktail sauce. We got 3 flatbreads and a side of the spicy Ahi Poke Nachos. The flatbreads are easily shared but get your own if you are hungry and don't want to share but sharing is the best way here! The Raw Ahi Tuna marinated in sweet soy ginger sauce, topped with sriracha aioli, avocado, and more, served over crispy tortilla chips. The flatbreads have a home-made dough baked in their woodstone oven. Various options to choose from and we liked them all. Every dish that walked by our table looked so inviting so I will be back to try more. The service was exceptional as well.

Always so busy but so worth it!!! I love the firecracker shrimp and roasted brussel sprouts. My husband loves the crispy chicken sandwich.

Right next to the ferry terminal, you will find this great little gem of a spot. They have an extensive menu and the po boy shrimp sandwich called for me and I had to get it. The sandwich arrived with a toasted brioche bun (think lobster roll) and it was filled with hot, crispy, creamy and spicy shrimp. It was really good and made me wish there was a double order size option! I went with a side salad instead of the typical fries and it was really good for a side salad. was expecting some dark leafy greens and side of dressing, but it came with so much more. fresh raspberries and apples along with blue cheese crumbles and candied pecans! It was a great salad. The only thing I would ask differently on the salad next time is request the vinaigrette on the side. It was slightly overdressed, but that won't stop me from ordering it again. I can't wait to come back again!

We went for lunch. Service was excellent, menu was pretty big and had great variety! We shared some tapas, a flight of juice with the house bubbly to make our own mimosas (highly recommend!), and was gifted fresh mini donuts for the whole table for my birthday! It was a great birthday lunch experience! I only gave 4 stars because my roasted cauliflower didn't taste very roasted--it was pretty "raw" tasting still. Brussel sprouts and sweet potato fries were awesome and my friend loved her crab roll sandwich. I'd definitely return and I would love to try their brunch.

I have come here a few times in large groups. I know large groups are hard, so I always like to take the service with a grain of salt. The first time we came, we had great service even though we had a large group. The second time left some to be desired. I have gotten the dueling claws roll each time I have come. The sandwich is a good balance of crab and lobster and tastes great. Would come again for the sandwich!

This was a great spot recommended by a local so we stopped in. We sat at the bar area. They were pretty busy for a Sunday night but sat us pretty quick. The wait staff was very grand upbeat. We ordered beer and a couple of appetizers. We tried the oyster shots and a plate of the different oysters. They were all really good. The shots were our favorite though. We also tried the cauliflower appetizer and it was really Flavian's delicious. Next time the waitress recommended trying the Brussels sprouts which we definitely will. Overall, great atmosphere and food.

Great food! Gyro sliders and crab dip, split with a friend. We had a fabulous waiter, and the ambiance was really nice. It was a little chilly sitting in the bar, but I think it's because the door to patio was open. Love the crown royal flare and the trains going by. My grandma loved this place and I now know why.

Party of Six !! With a staggered arrival at about 6:30. A large table on a sunny deck with sound view. Deck seating at capacity and all smiles. No water, but 3 menus each. We bounced some choices off each other and our charming & capable waiter made mental notes and reappeared with beverages. A short wait and he returned with 6 entrees. While we enjoyed ourselves the whistle blew. Train passed next to us as T kept talking (ASL)the rest of us drowned out. My Shrimp Sliders were zesty with a crunch. But I specifically said No Fries No complaints from our team. Separate checks provided. Note: They add 3% fee for the restaurant. If it had been raining I would have contested.

A little pricey, but absolutely for good reason- plus the seafood prices are pretty reasonable comparing around, seafood is just pricey right now. Anyway, best lobster roll I've ever had. Biting into the roll took me to the beach and I absolutely savored every bite. Cleaned my plate of the fries, which had several different flavor options. From appetizer to dessert, everything was delicious, and being right by the water is a great plus.

We had a lovely experience for dinner after work. Mike was a very knowledgeable and great server! I appreciated his positive attitude and sense of humor! His recommended drinks were spot on! Will absolutely be back!

Less than 20 minute wait on a sunny Saturday afternoon. Drinks were great, service was excellent. Mike served us and made our night a memorable one!

Wow, everything I've ordered from the tapas menu is AMAZING! Firecracker shrimp, steak bites, calamari, shucked oysters, kobe beef sliders, crispy brussel sprouts, spicy poke ahi nachos all are delicious! House rose wine was so good. Crème brûlée was yummy too. Really nice to sit on the deck, see the water, they have heat lamps, screens and mini fire pits at some tables. Have been here twice, would definitely recommend and go back again.

Three of us went here for the first time today to try it out. It was 2 pm and not very busy. The greeter came up after a couple of minutes and took us to our table. I got the feeling she wanted to be somewhere other than work because she was not friendly and had no smile or social skills whatsoever. She showed us our table, dropped the menus, and walked away without a word. The server was the complete opposite, though, and very friendly and upbeat. The food came out fast, and everything was delicious. I ordered the fish tacos, which were two tacos with a choice of salmon, tuna, or cod. I wanted to sample a couple of different fish but was told I could only have one kind of fish for my plate, which I felt was a little odd. Most places that serve fish tacos let you mix and match. I chose the salmon and they were delicious! The Chipotle aeoli and mango salsa was an excellent topping! Also at the table we ordered fish and chips and a tuna avocado sandwich. Both were very good. Go try this place out and see what you think!

Only giving three stars because I only ate the garlic fries for happy hour and had the moscowl mule. Fries were soggy. I like my fries to be crunchy, but that's just my preference. Maybe some people like them softer. The mule was ok. It wasn't amazing. Was your standard moscowl mule. Also, it was a bummer that they were out of a few of the cocktails on the menu because I wanted to try something fun. But maybe next time! Service was good. We got to sit at a nice large table outside and it happened to be sunny out which was great! The outside seating definitely has a great water view of the beach and ferry loading. Although, keep in mind that the train tracks are only a couple feet from the restaurant so I would advise sitting inside if you come here for a date night. Train is quite loud:) In the end, I would come back to try some more things on the menu to get more of a full dining experience. The inside ambiance is cute and fun and beachy.

A friend and I came in for dinner and were able to get seated right away. The staff were all very friendly and attentive, so it was a great experience to feel so welcomed and never rushed despite the fact that we sat at our table for a decent chunk of time after finishing our food. Speaking of food, I ordered the ahi tuna tacos and The Grinch drink (not pictured). The drink somehow perfectly encapsulates the Grinch into beverage form - it's fresh and bright but also felt weighed down at the same time - we asked for some club soda to freshen it up a bit more and it helped to tone down the artificial taste of one of the syrups in it. The tuna tacos were delicious! I really enjoyed them and would likely get them again in the future. Fries are also good - I'm always a fan of the softer, flavorful fries, so they were a win for me.

Sub par food; great company. (Breakdown of score: 2 stars for food and plus one for company). My litmus test for a good restaurant is it's basics; can you do a pizza and a burger well? Unfortunately, I felt like I was eating an apple pie not a pizza. Burger was good though and came with a cute onion ring cap Service was decent, we had a kind waitress who was very nice to me and the baby (20w3d). I'm eating for two right now and she was accommodating to the fetus Ambience was the star of the show, the back porch is heated and so we got to be outside on a chilly march day

Absolutely loved this place! We went 3 times while visiting Seattle. Everything was so good and the staff was sooooo nice. Will definitely be back!! Ps. Get the baked Brie

What a 5 star experience at this restaurant tonight. Blew away my expectations when I walked in and it was packed out. MIKE is the best server in Edmomds-- hands down Seated immediately, served drinks and apps within 15 minutes, with Mike doing constant (perfectly timed) check-ins to make sure we were always taken care of. I will come back to this restaurant only because of Mike

Mike was absolutely incredible!! He took care of our table so well, and made sure to come back multiple times to ask if the food was good. Also, so QUICK with bringing out the food. We are definitely coming back. Mike is the best.

Stopped in for a quick app and beverages! Crab cakes were light and fluffy and the Brie with apple was great. Only call out would maybe be a little bit more Brie on the plate. Otherwise great as always!
