Roger's River View Bistro

My wife and son for dinner. They had the fish and it was brilliant (they say) and I had the chicken Cordon bleu. It was cut in half length with a boiled carrot. It was interesting and very good. The potatoes were also amazing. I didn't care about the chicken. It wasn't delicate and tasteless. We had no reservation and had to eat in the lounge to make a reservation for preferred seating.

We celebrated our office Christmas party here on the outside covered deck. They'd made it cozy with space heaters and thick blankets to wrap up in if needed. We had appetizers: clams, crab cakes and toast points. 3 of us had rack of lamb, 2 had shrimp fettuccine and the rest of us had the rib eye steak. We raved about the mashed potatoes, our meat was cooked to perfection, and each of us had desert. We were completely satiated and all 8 of us agreed we'd be back again.

Might just be the best place to dine jn Snohomish. Had the specials (duck confit and scallops) and both were superb. The clams in cream sauce was amazing and likely something I’ll order every time I come here. Interiors bring out what’s great about Snohomish. Tasteful interiors juxtaposed against historic brick walls and adverts from a bygone era. Friendly staff and Roger himself comes out to meet everyone. 5 stars. Solid date night spot or for entertaining guests from out-of-town.

My husband and I love Roger's! We have enjoyed double dates with friends and he also recently surprised me with an anniversary dinner here! The service has always been attentive but not overly hovering, and they always keep things fresh by offering seasonal dishes with locally sourced ingredients. You can dine inside or out on the deck where you have lovely views of the Snohomish River and the riverside walking trail, and during the colder months they have heaters and blankets available! We especially enjoy the fondue and the chicken cordon Bleu, but have yet to try anything we dislike. Apparently I enjoyed it so much the only photo I've taken is of the flowers on the table!

We go 2-3 times a year and have always had a great mean, I?m really surprised at the poor reviews, but I?ve gone to other restaurants and had a bad meal while others rated higher. I?ve had the lamb chops several times, salmon, scallops and their delicious shrimp pasta in Leeks sauce, the same sauce they use with their clams (my favorite sauce anywhere). My only complaint is that the owner can come across as rude, on one occasion my wife was walking through town and walked in to make a reservation for the two of us later that night. When she came home she mentioned she made a reservation, but then told me what he had said to her, so I told her to cancel we?ll go elsewhere, that?s happened twice
