One of my favorite restaurants, located in downtown Edmonds.

In the summer, they have a wonderful patio with a handful of fireplaces available.

In the winter, you won’t miss the patio, because their space inside is absolutely gorgeous.

The ambiance is cool, sleek and relaxing. Their bar features the trunk of a tree that fell years ago on Whidbey Island. The entire space is lit with mood lighting that beams from the wall of the bar.

Are you interested in watching the big game? They have a few silent Tv’s. They won’t turn the sound on for you, but they do utilize the Tunity app where you can tune in and listen to the audio from each television, directly on your personal device. Speaking of personal devices. If you find yourself with a dead battery on your iPad or cell phone, then go ahead and pull up a chair at the bar because right underneath the bar, you will find charging stations available to guests.

190 Sunset is totally the place to be.

Now, let’s get on to the leadership of this place.

Tom Budinick: President & Founder.

With over 20 years in the fine-dining industry, this guy knows what he’s doing. But even more than that, his experience runs in his blood. He comes from a family of fishmongers, dating back to the early 1900’s with local, PNW roots. How cool is that! A local guy, with local roots in the food business, and he opens up his own, amazing restaurant here in Edmonds. I love it!

Skyler Gemar: Executive Chef

Le Cordon Blue trained, Skyler really knows what he’s doing in the kitchen here at 190 Sunset. Just like Tom, he is also a PNW native which always makes me happy to hear. Skyler strives to push the limits in the kitchen, and is known for wanting to make memorable experiences for his guests.

Niles Peacock: Director of Bar Operations

Niles Peacock is my guy, and not just because he has a cool name. Niles concocts amazing cocktails with precision and care. He has worked at some of the hottest bars across the country and has now found himself here at 190 Sunset; boy do I hope he is here to stay. He truly loves what he does, and it shows so clearly. Watching him make a drink is such an incredible treat. To add, he was voted Best Bartender in King 5’s, 2017 Best of Western Washington competition.
