Sound 2 Summit — Restaurant in Everett

I want to love this place. I really do. But like with asterisks on it is where I end up.

The individual pieces of the experience are nice… tasty food, decent beers, but the integration is just … bad at rush hour.

And rush time was our experience..deep breath……

Chaotic is a kind word.

“Order all your drinks and food at the bar and then seat yourself” only works if there’s enough seating.

There isn’t.

Nobody is in charge of the dining area so it’s pub rules.. dive in and grab a table as soon as someone so much as stands up. If someone even LOOKS like they’re leaving you need to go ask.

At peak the dining room is So loud the staff couldn’t even hear my food order correctly when i was talking 1 foot from their ear.

Now, to be fair…this might be fine for some crowds. Really.

People hanging out with adult friends and having beers and chatting? Great setup. People in those kind of groups seemed like they generally were having a great time and the setup was fine.

As I said the food and beer items were very tasty and the order to deliver time was good. The kitchen was doing well and the staff were hustling and keeping the food delivery part moving well.

But man it was so loud, chaotic, and stressful that it is a no go for my family to come back other...

Good food, nice atmosphere, great staff.

You order at a register and seat yourself. There is covered seating inside and patio seating outside. Dogs are allowed on leash on the patio. It's got a bougie craft brew pub feel but is a restaurant and several families with children were there enjoying food.

They serve many options of beer and had a bar for other alcoholic beverages, including blended drinks. Non-alcoholic options are cans of soda, iced tea, or water. It was a bit odd, the non-alcoholic drinks are not on any menu, you have to ask. There is a self serve station for water and take home containers.

I had the Margherita NY style pizza and cheese bread. The pizza was really good but I did knock off one food star for the crust. Crispy, chewy, yummy, except... bland. Could use some salt or herbs.

Overall a lovely experience and I will be going back again to try more dishes.

Please be a good human and clear your table when done if possible; there is an area to dispose of trash and leave...

Dropped by Sound to Summit Brewing over the weekend to try their vegan pizza option.

They're in a great area, right off the lovely Everett Marina, a great place to have a stroll before/after grabbing a bite. The ambiance was really nice, well lit, inviting, lots of seating. It's definitely a nice, fun atmosphere to catch a brew and a pizza. They also have an outdoor area, a beer garden .. with fire stations to keep you warm.

The beers were great although, admittedly .. I'm the furthest thing from beer connoisseur. The biggest star of the show, for me, was the vegan pizza, The Veggie .. with vegan cheese. True to it's name, this pizza was stocked with all kinds of vegetables and the cheese had an ooey gooey mouth feel (that's my technical term of the day lol). The crust was really good, the edge of the crust had a softness and a pull to it, unlike a lot of tough chewy crust edges that end up getting tossed.

Verdict - our experience was a win, can't wait for our...
