This place gets very busy during summer and they don't take reservations, so we were happy to finally get a seat. If you sit in the entrance area you get a chance to look at the waterfront.
We had cocktails, 2 appetizers and the Rasta Pasta. We loved the conch fritters and the Rasta Pasta had a great flavor of the Jamaican jerk spices with a nice kick. Recommended if you like to give Jamaican/Caribbean cuisine a try.
Let me tell you a story about the best place to go to in Edmonds! I know because I’ve been here multiple times and the service has always exceeded my expectations. The staff is attentive and the food is nothing short of lovely.
The bathroom is always presentable and it smells good in there. I judge restaurants based on how clean they are. Who’d want to eat somewhere where they can’t pee? Now the wait times are sometimes extended especially on weekends because the food is in high demand. The prices and portions are extremely reasonable and the drinks, OMG fantastic!
When you come here, order a drink and sip patiently. I promise you when your food comes out, you won’t be disappointed. My favorite meal to get is the jerked chicken. It is spiced correctly and does remind me of Jamaica. Try the Rasta pasta too! And the rum cake and cornbread is just sooooo YUMMY!
The service was excellent and the food was good but didn’t fully live up to our expectations. We ordered the scallops for our appetizer - cooked well but all the seasoning was in a very thin gravy that didn’t catch on to the scallops, for entrees we got the jerk pork loin - was overcooked and tough but the rice that came and the flavors were great, and the curried goat - cooked perfectly, soft and well seasoned. The cocktails were potent but taste wise they fell a bit flat.
Excellent menu. A taste of the Caribbean. The steak and the goat were both excellent.
Cocktails to die for. Three thumbs up!
Hope you like reggae music 😁
Absolutely love Calypso. It is one of our go to spots in Edmonds. The drinks are delicious, staff are wonderful and the owner is awesome. Make sure to try the Rasta pasta and the pain killer. They are so good! Often they are busy but always are able to accommodate with a little wait. Get there early for a table!
