The new boss took several of us out to dinner. We decided on this place because it had good reviews, was within walking distance, and none of us had ever been here. I have seen Roger carrying bread from the bakery to the restaurant, and had long thought that I should go check the place out. This was my chance. The clam appetizer was cooked correctly, but seemed low on flavor. I was recovering from a cold, so perhaps my taste buds were not at peak performance. The crab cakes were excellent and perfectly cooked. The staff was very attentive and efficient. The lighting was moderately dimmed, but not too dark, but you might need your flashlight to read the menu. The background noise and music were not too much. This is not a loud restaurant. Entrees in our group included lamb, salmon, duck, and steak. And a vegetarian requested a vegetarian alfredo, I think. I ordered the salmon. Sides were mashed potatoes and acorn squash. The mashed potatoes had a good texture and not too buttery. The acorn squash had just the right amount of brown sugar and had been cooked enough that I could scoop bites out easily with my fork, but no burned edges either. The salmon was satisfying and not dry or overcooked. The lemon wedge was fresh. Nothing in my meal stood out to me as amazing, but it was tasty and satisfying. Everything met my expectations for a good meal out, and we all had a good time. Everybody was filled with drinks, appetizers, and entrees, so we passed on dessert. I would like to return with my wife some night before the New Year. read more

Roger's Riverview Bistro - Scallops - New American Near Me - Snohomish, Washington

Solo diner trying to find a bite to eat and stumbled upon this place. I'm so glad the restaurant I walked into before was too busy. (This place is busy too! Make a reservation!) This little bistro in Snohomish is great! I ordered a Caesar Salad and a house made Shrimp Pasta dish. Both were delicious! The Caesar salad I will say was very impractical. I didn't know if I should cut it with a knife or eat it like a taco. After trying to cut it and stab the thin lettuce with my fork which I failed miserably at a few times, I decided to throw away all dignity and pick it up hahaha. It was very good but I had a hard time coming to terms with struggling over a $10 side salad. As for the pasta dish, I was surprised at how good this was. HUGE, properly cleaned, perfectly cooked shrimp. A good amount of them too. Cut into 3 smaller pieces each, it was the perfect ratio to the pasta. Didn't run out of one before the other. The pasta was delicious the sauce was creamy and the flavor was epic! I had the most wonderful older woman as my server. Not sure if she was an owner or host but she wasn't a waitress (she didn't have on the same dress code as the younger girls) She was kind and reliable and came at the perfect moments. This place is spendy. I paid $40 for just myself. But for a date or solo self care day, this place is on my list to go back for sure! read more

Great food and excellent service. The staff is great and we appreciate the intimate ambiance to have a dinner with friends and family. I haven't had a bad meal there ever and have probably gone about a dozen times in the past couple of years! read more

It's unfortunate that I have to leave this review; but after planning a nice evening for my wife's birthday (made reservations two weeks in advance), and being seated, we realized none of the staff (servers nor kitchen) were wearing masks. My wife is 8.5 months pregnant and understandably is concerned with safety as the Omicron variant caseloads are high right now. We made the decision to leave. We informed the server and hostess of our decision to leave, and why, and the server (male, he was possibly the owner or manager) rolled his eyes and turned around. We had been really looking forward to dining at Roger's as it would have been our first time since February 2020. The clams are amazing and we had a wonderful experience our last time there. Later in the evening I did some deeper digging into Yelp reviews and several others have mentioned Roger's flippant attitude to following COVID guidelines. It would have been nice to know of this before making reservations - I simply would have avoided the restaurant. When a business decides what regulations/rules to follow, it makes you wonder about their operations. For example, the Snohomish Health District has a lengthy list of guidelines a restaurant must follow regarding food safety and others to keep their patrons and staff safe. Does Roger('s) choose which of these he thinks are appropriate and which are not? It is interesting that Roger's received $104,227 in COVID-relief (PPP) funds that have been fully forgiven (they didn't seem to have an issue with that!), yet now seems to have a "policy" to not follow simple masking guidelines (that all businesses are required to follow) to make patrons feel comfortable and keep their staff safe. See: https://projects.propublica.org/coronavirus/bailouts/search?q=ROGER%27S+RIVERVIEW+BISTRO+CORP. This is just PPP funding, it's likely Roger's also took advantage of the many other relief programs offered to businesses as part of the COVID response. read more

Food was delicious!!! Everything with superb! Some portion sizes small for men so order second entree to try something else. Service was fantastic!!! Ambiance has something to be desired! Loud!!! Bathrooms could be improved! Overall A+ read more

I really really really want to give this place 5 stars but I cannot. I called ahead to make reservations and when I arrived I was seated without any option by the front door. That is totally okay with me, but somehow the majority of wait staff managed to walk by us and not get us our drinks or anything promptly. I did get a later reservation, but seating us by the door and then proceeding to eat/ drink/ set food beside us when we are having a personal date is borderline rude. The food was frickin incredible. Loved it, but the staff and their awareness absolutely destroyed my romantic and relaxing evening. Spent a lot of time pretending I didn't see staff setting their stuff by us or simply sitting down by us to break before leaving minutes later. I made reservations for a reason and was not impressed with that aspect. read more

Downtown Snohomish has really become a dining destination. Our visit to Roger's was spur of the moment, and quite successful. We were seated immediately in this smallish cafe. The service was as good as it gets in the region. The menu was not too large, but plenty of good choices, including some nice "specials", which we both chose from. We started with sublime clams in a white wine sauce. Absolutely excellent! I had a very good piece of halibut seasoned and cooked darn near perfectly. My wife had east coast scallops, superbly done. The accompanying locally grown vegetables were well prepared, and delicious. This chef knows how to buy, prepare & season food that compliments each other well. Throughout the service, the wait staff was attentive, not intrusive. They made us feel welcome, and that they appreciated our being there. Wasn't particularly cheap. dinner for two, no dessert and just one glass of wine totaled up right at $150 (including 20% tip). Well worth it... read more

I think we found our new "go to" spot in Snohomish. Not just the city of Snohomish, but Snohomish County and beyond. I have nothing negative to say about Roger's. The food, service and ambiance is not only great, but consistently great. Their cocktails, spot on, wine list, just right, and food, simply perfect. Good luck deciding between the short rib special and their fantastic house made pasta. Their French onion soup and arugula salad with walnuts, beets and burrata are always a great starter. There portions are generous and if you can please finish off with one of their delectable deserts and you'll have yourself a perfect night. We will always be back! read more

We tried once but unfortunately won't be back. The food isn't bad, but it comes across more like a home cook made it rather than a profesional chef. Some things over seasoned, others under. Some things cooked perfect, others over cooked. Some things plated nicely, others sloppy. You get the point! We sat on the deck and the tables were really close together so hearing everyone else's conversations was distracting. Overall, we were disappointed by the food quality for the price, service was mid, and ambience on the deck was not comfortable. read more

Wonderful experience! definitely will be back. The owners put love and care into this bistro and it shows! Gorgeous patio and view of the river as well as beautiful bar lounge. The food is freshly prepped each day. Highly recommend read more

Kinda disappointing. Hostess had resting you know what face and acted less than thrilled to see us when we arrived for our reservations. My husband and I were seated on the deck despite requesting to sit inside. The deck is small and it is difficult to have an intimate dinner as they seat large groups there as well. I ordered the duck and was disappointed to see the fat not rendered at all. My husband ordered the lamb and it was just alright. The accompanying sauce did nothing to elevate the dish. Wine selection is good. read more

Good food and drinks. Tiny place though. I felt claustrophobic at times. It's pricey too but worth it

We came here on a whim. Literally just walked by and decided we'd have dinner before heading back to our AirBnB. First off, we're grateful and appreciative of the welcoming service despite the fact that they were about to close in about 25 minutes. I'm so glad we came. Our family of four left completely happy and satisfied. Our waitress was also super kind and sparked up a great convo about some hikes we can try out in Golden Bar (we're visiting from Los Angeles and simply staying here in Snohomish for 2 days before we head out to the woods) The food. Outstanding. I had the special for the day "halibut" and it was incredible. Such a simple plate but full of flavor, fresh, perfectly portioned and cooked perfectly . The cauliflower was ridiculously good and my mashed potatoes paired perfectly with my Halibut . My wife loved her Arugula salad and "Cold Soup" (that was a first for us and we loved it!) My kids enjoyed their orders along with the drawing sheets and crayons they always like to have fun with. Overall Excellent and unforgettable dining experience. I think to sum it up, it does NOT come off as a hype-y place that over promises and under delivers, but instead makes you feel right at home with some food that's made with pride and passion. read more

We decided to have dinner at Rogers tonight we arrived early because it can fill up fast and we didn't have reservations. We had dinned in the bar before and had a great dinner so we decided to do that again. Turned out that the bartender that we had serve us before was working tonight we were in good hands. Once we were seated we were able to order a drink to get started along with some appetizers, my wife got their salad while I went with my favorite " Rogers clams" man they are so good. We got around to ordering our mains my wife Nancy went with her favorite the chicken cordon blu, and I chose the halibut. There was a nice pace to how the dinner went, Laren, our bartender was in charge of the bar taking care of the rest of the restaurant's drinks along with making sure we were taken care of as our dinner progressed. We've been coming here for years and the quality of the food and the service provided by the staff is always top notch. Again my halibut was moist and flaky, I got a couple of bites of the chicken and it was delicious as well. Now I'm giving 5 stars because of the consistency on all levels if you're in Snohomish after 4 pm and are in the mood for an awesome dinner checkout Rogers and if you can't get a table on the deck go to the bar you won't be disappointed. read more

The food was delicious and the service was excellent. We sat on the patio and had a wonderful view of the river.

The good: the view of the river and getting a patio table without a reservation. The bad: Food is passable. The ugly: kitchen got slammed and our server gave up on our table (we were the only table with small children). She did not apologize for the wait (which was almost an hour) and got smug when I pointed out that my order was incorrect. Then she dropped half of my daughter's plate, which took another ten minutes. At no point did she check on the rest of the meal. read more

Lucky to have this great restaurant in town. I have a range of favorites that I love to order. Love the bar that they added as well.

Service is always five star. Clams are a must have with the savory and creamy sauce. Drinks are fabulous. Feels old and new at the same time. read more

We always have excellent and food, and service at Rogers! The specials are delicious, and we finally tried the desserts last time. I highly recommend the duck if they have it, and the homemade cheesecake! read more

Walked in without a reservation so ended up at the bar! Laren was fantastic -- wonderfully friendly bartender! Food was as great as the service. Cheese Fondue, Chicken Cordon Blue and Key Lime Pie! We will definitely be back. Thank you for a wonderful date night experience! read more

Appetizer - crab cakes: ** left a puddle of oil on the plate, crab tasted "fishy" and was stringy in texture. Not impressed Main dish - Pork Milanese: ** really salty. Like over the top salty. Mashed potatoes tasted gummy and extra salty like potato flakes from a box. Pork was juicy, but coating texture reminded me of Shake N Bake and really oily. Main dish - Shrimp Pasta: **** unique flavor with leek cream sauce. Noodles were clumpy though, like they had been sitting for awhile after being cooked. Shrimp was ok. Cooked fine, but not seasoned and no flavor of its own Service: *** our server brought dirty appetizer plates to the table. Overall server was very distracted and didn't seem confident in reviewing specials. Also didn't let us know what was sold out for the night until after we had chosen food. Would have been nice to know upfront. Overall: ***. Good food, but certainly not a fine dining experience. This is the type of place that the local community loves to support, but could use a little makeover. Probably won't be going back, but I would recommend to locals as a "try it at least once" kind of place. read more

The food is good. I need to return, had heard excellent things, but we were a bit let down. It's in a nearby town, so I won't dismiss it yet. Don't visit on a scorching day. I was uncomfortable inside. No airflow at all. Rear patio seating looked inviting. read more

First time at this restaurant and what a treat. Our appetizer, entrees and desserts were all delicious! The staff were ofriendly and attentive. read more

Went there with 2 friends since jr high to celebrate 60 years of living.... The best place to eat on the Snohomish strip ( all 3 of us were raised in North Seattle and live in Snohomish now)....Try the clams and fondue for starters.... And the salads and steaks are amazing....we will be back read more

I ordered the chicken cordon bleu and it was delicious. I also had a Caesar salad and that was very good also. The mashed potatoes that came with the meal were fantastic. The person I dined with had the rib eye and it was huge and piled with mushrooms. She was very happy with her meal as well. We both took half our meals home, so the portions are very generous. Great place! read more

The food is delicious, the atmosphere is great and the staff is increíble! From the moment you walk in, you feel like part of a family. The food is prepared with heart and soul and it shows.

Cute and friendly little place with delicious food and cocktails, much appreciated attention to adults and tweens alike, and impeccable timing. Dishes and drinks came out just when we wanted them to, everything was finger licking good, and we were made to feel special. A refreshingly unpretentious bistro focused on quality and friendliness. read more

Roger's is excellent. You will get superb food and service... seating selection is iffy though... try to get in the back if you can, its more spacious but cozy and comfortable. The space fills up quickly. Why? Well - because it is super good. Never had anything on the menu that didn't blow me away - will be sure to leave a smile on your face. Can not wait to be back! read more

Roger's clams are amazing!!! Have ordered several times. Delicious food & friendly staff. Specials are always interesting and tasty! Great new bar area. Never disappointed! read more

After a day strolling 1st Ave in Snohomish, a friend & I stopped for a bite at Roger's Riverview Bistro. The pluses? Nice deck over looking the river. The food was so-so. My friend ordered the burger which came with the kind of bun you see at kids' cookouts. The accompanying caesar was odd-- a few romaine leaves covered with goopy cheese. My clams were tasty -- although having lived on the east coast I'm always surprised at how small west coast clams are. The toast points looked like they'd been assembled by someone's children. Our waitress forgot my glass of wine and disappeared mid-meal. The woman who seated us actually stepped in and helped to get the meal back on track. When our original server returned she served up an indignity that many women my age experience with servers. Yep. Called me, "honey." Please stop calling older women "honey"; it's demeaning. read more

Went early on a Saturday because it fills up fast. Great food. Sat in the bar and had some house made barrel aged Manhattans. The bartender was great. Very engaging and entertaining. Highly recommend and will definitely be returning. read more

This is my second review of this restaurant. It just keeps getting better. The clams were the best I have ever had. A rich creamy broth with great crusty bread. Fish done perfectly served in a delicious light sauce. Barb had the crab cakes again and still great. What a great evening. read more

Great service, great food. Cute town. Really good fresh food here. Prepared well. Mashed potatoes are better than mine! We'll be back.

True farm to table experience. Food has always been on point. The steak with mushrooms is my favorite steak dish. The chef and staff are friendly and make your dining experience special each time. read more

These guys were not bad. The cocktail of the day was a strawberry rhubarb concoction- refreshing, but more of a strawberry lemonade, couldn't taste any rhubarb. The goat cheese toast points were interesting, but I think the sharpness of the goat cheese would have been highlighted better with a balsamic glaze rather than a vinaigrette. The french onion soup was alright, the Roger's clams boasted a basil leek cream sauce, which was decent but I couldn't taste basil or leek. My guy got the roast beef and mash, which he really liked. Would be interested in trying them again, I liked the ideas behind the dishes. read more

After reading so many positive reviews on this place I was really hoping for better... My husband and I came here for our after wedding celebration dinner (7/1/22) and it was a complete disaster. We began by ordering the fondue... I mean what could go wrong? Just a cheese sauce and bread...right? Our party of 8 ordered two, just to make sure there was plenty to go around. We receive our app and dig right in and immediately notice something was off. Our cheese sauce was tangy and the bread was stale and bitter. Upon closer examination we discover the reason... both plates of bread were covered in white and blue mold! We immediately felt uneasy and alerted our waiter who in return took the bread off the table and went to the kitchen to get us new bread. The waiter returns after a few minutes and lets us now that he personally checked and cut the bread and that there was no mold. (Oops! We believed it!) a few bites in and we spot mold on the bread once again. At this point we are completely turned off from the fondue and just want the app removed from our table. Instead the waiter insists on getting us ANOTHER round of bread despite us asking to have the app removed from the table. And you won't believe it, the third round of bread was moldy too! All while this is going on I was getting increasingly worried about the other tables around us that were also eating the same fondue and bread as us. That's unsettling to know that if there was a food quality issue (esp. mold) that the restaurant wouldn't be pulling that item from all tables to avoid illness. What if someone had a severe mold allegedly and ate this bread? (Yikes) My husband ordered the burger (well done) and received a small charred patty on a large burnt hamburger bun with the "famous" mashed potatoes that resembled melted ice cream. Definitely disappointing for a burger that was around $20... I had the roasted salmon which came with the mashed potatoes and asparagus. The flavor of the salmon was nice, but the amount of sharp bones I found in that salmon was dangerous, one even stabbed the roof of my mouth and left me in quite a bit of discomfort for a couple days after. As for the rest of my wedding party they were less than impressed by their runny mashed potatoes, burnt burgers, bones in the salmon, fatty duck, and my grandmother in law's practically puréed pulled pork sandwich that was immediately sent back after a single bite. We were all so defeated after dealing with our appetizers we didn't even bother trying to flag down our waiter to send everything back as they very outwardly appeared frazzled and busy with other tables. Another observation was the tables around us having similar complaints and frustrations with the quality and preparation of the food. Not sure if it was a bad night or not, but I'm not exactly willing to give this one another go...this dinner was so comically terrible that my husband and I will never forget our nearly $400 wedding dinner and neither will our wedding party. read more
