Off Main

Still talking about the yummy food we had last night. Halibut with mashed potatoes and bacon wrapped asparagus, and seafood linguini with prawns and scallops. So good! Also had a fun selection of cocktails. Cute place, nice staff. View of the sunset from the bar.

Service was understaffed / slow. $11 kids plate, menu description noted it includes drink and dessert sunday, but neither were offered.

Wow, what a great job bringing more class to Edmonds. Beautiful ambiance and decor. Our service with Eric & Kari top notch, even remembered our names that doesn't happened much at all anymore (such a personal touch). I didn't know what to expect for food, but was pleasantly surprised when I saw the menu choices. Really good cocktails too! Will definitely be back and spread the word, just sorry we didn't come in sooner. Highly recommend trying out OFF MAIN

Awesome new place for a good burger. The place looks great and the service was even greater. Will keep going back to check out their other dinner items.

Great addition to the Edmonds food scene! The pretzels were the true star of the show and I could literally bathe in that cheese. The cilantro salad with prawns reminded me of my favorite Nordstrom salad- so excited I can have it without fighting for parking at the mall. My husband loved the cowboy burger and we both were super pleased with our drinks: I had the strawberry margarita which was a perfect blend of sweet and spicey while he has the top cutter ipa.

Great service - fun staff - bar manager is awesome! Food looks amazing - can't wait to go back and try a burger!

We had a great experience. Our waiter was friendly, prompt, and accommodating. Inside was simple, clean, and had a cozy Ski Lodge feeling. Large wood boothes, with pillows throughout. A lot of natural light made it feel inviting and open. We enjoyed our food and drinks. I enjoy a spicy drink and got the Spicy Strawberry Margarita. It tasted fresh with the Serrano pepper taste, but not very spicy in my opinion. Avocado Fries, were filling. There is dairy in the batter and I could not personally try, but the hubby liked them. Naked Wings, tender with a crisp skin. We got the sauce on the side. Our friends ordered a burger and the Flat Iron Steak and both enjoyed their meal. The Steak came with bacon wrapped asparagus that was delicious. The bacon was crisp and cooked throughout and the steak had great flavor.

The pretzel was delish and would go back for that alone. Fish and chips were greasy, breading was falling off, and under seasoned. The halibut was over cooked and dry. $9.00 for a very small mock tail pretty $$$ for a few sips...crazy! All in all would come back for the espresso martini and the pretzel.

In shortEasy to enjoy for drinks and snacks or for a full meal. Short menu executed beautifully, and the bar's right on point. Great indoor & outdoor spaces, plenty of TVs, amazing parking by downtown Edmonds standards. In longThe Bowl has more and more good places to go out the last 10-15 years, and this makes the lineup more or less complete. It's a casual hangout where you can relax, but there's nothing missing from the bar or the kitchen. 5th is sort of the main drag down into the Bowl, at least coming from the south (and not heading for the ferry). Off Main is right across from a huge public parking lot, with decent street parking available, too. It's a couple blocks from most of the hustle and bustle (such as it is), so you'll almost certainly score parking. There's a huge semi-covered patio out front, which must be fantastic in nice weather.Inside, there's a nice open dining room, and three steps up there's a friendly lounge. It's all airy, with pitched ceilings and exposed ceiling joists giving it kind of a lodge vibe. Blond wood floors, darker trim higher up. It feels modern and pleasant without hitting you over the head with any one style. There are flat screens everywhere, probably showing the game, and at the moment there's holiday decor up here and there. Feels homey. The menu is kinda short, and kinda focused on old favorites. If you're craving something super unusual with unexpected seasonings, this is probably not the spot for your next meal. But they've put together their menu really intelligently, with most ingredients showing up in more than one dish, and few-enough things that the kitchen can nail every plate every night. Naked WingsYou get a couple drums and about 15 flats. The smoke comes through more on the drums, since they need to be cooked longer. Tender, cooked perfectly so they stay juicy. Kind of a vinegary Frank's tang to the sauce. Some sliced veg, a little ranch, a little blue cheese. Good stuff. CaesarHouse-made dressing! Dig that. You can add 3 different proteins. I had the plain. Plenty of dry salty cheese, just enough croutons, lots of fresh romaine. Not overdressed at all, but good flavor coming through from the dressing. Tasty salad for sure, but might be more satisfying with protein added next time. Blue Cheese Fries Add the steak. You'd be crazy not to add the steak. Nice shoestring fries with good crispy outsides and nice fluffy insides. Perfectly-balanced cheese sauce that never clumps or breaks. You want to finish these before they cool off, but even the late bites still have a nice clingy sauce on the fries--no puddles, no globs. The steak is cooked exactly how you order it, with a little seasoning, and the whole effect is like the perfect midpoint between poutine and steak frites. PretzelBeautiful soft, hot, absolutely legit pretzel. Fluffy and chewy. Plenty of rock salt. The cheese dip is balanced and flavorful. You can easily fill up on bar snacks here, and the entrees will be fantastic for a full dinner, judging by how good every single app was.The beer and wine lists are all very thoughtfully chosen. Good taps, good bottles and cans, and nice wine options. About 30 choices total, many local, all good on their own or with food. A few industrial breweries represented for those who stick with the old-school domestics. But the cocktails are where it's at. Not super boozy, but perfectly executed.Spicy Strawberry MargaritaNot too spicy, nor too sweet, but all balanced with a nice tartness that lets you know it's still a rita. Bee's KneesI know this is an old cocktail...isn't it? Smallish portion with toasted spice floating. A little tart, a little dank, a little Christmas baking spice to it. Nothing going too far in any one direction.5th & Howell Old FashionBig ice cube, nice cinnamon and toasted vanilla notes getting you in the mood for the holidays. Prices here are fair, and they seem to have a few regulars knocking around in the lounge, along with plenty of locals streaming in to check out the new. Our server was a charming, lovely human who always found sidework to fill the lulls, alwas eith a smile. That's such a good sign.This feels like it's already a regular stop for us, even though it's 20+ minutes away each way. Lots of places have tried to throw around the idea that they offer comfort food with a twist, or elevated pub grub. Those phrases have been used so much that they almost mean nothing anymore. But this place actually fits the bill for either of those descriptors.

The place is really open and spacious , the service is okay, could be better. And the food was alright I got the blue cheese burger, blue cheese fries, and flat iron steak. Flat iron steak was not to my liking and $34.. blue cheese burger was just like any other burger, it had no blue cheese flavor and was $21.The blue cheese fries were amazing, but not for the price.it was $22. Overall this place deserves 2-3 stars.
