LJ's Bistro

“Great restaurant with excellent food. The pork chop and ribeye were outstanding—well prepared, flavorful, and cooked just right. Definitely worth a visit”

“Used to go here pre pandemic as you got better quality for 20% lower cost than Seattle area restaurants. Now, prices are about the same as Seattle, but quality and service far superior! The Steaks are to die for cooked to perfection top quality. Have not tried any other mains but hear they are all great. Would like to see more creative appetizer options. If you get a desert like bread pudding, to be safe I'd request it comes out warm. Can't wait to go back. It ain't cheap it's actually pretty pricey but worth it! Just got to expect that. Don't go if you're pinching pennies. We spent about $150 per person (2 people) all in including tax/tip but 4 drinks, 1 appetizer, 1 salad, 1 fillet, 1 wagyu flat iron and 1 dessert I have no complaint on the cost based on the overall experience.”

“We went to the bar part of the place.. and we were met by a wonderful waitress in the bar who knew every drink every food item by heart. The atmosphere was so perfect. And very nice customers.”

“Here's my honest review: ✨Location✨ In a little shopping center, no where special ✨Price✨ Happy hour prices are amazing ✨Ambiance✨ Absolutely loved the interior design of this place! ✨Drinks✨ Got the Happy Hour spicy marg for $8. Nice, flavorful and strong ✨Recommendation✨ I would definitely stop by here for a nice little date night. I got the $10 happy hour steak skewers with the regular priced $14 chimichurri brussel sprouts and I absolutely loved it. We partner got the poke nachos and we split the bread pudding for dessert. Absolutely amazing. ✨Customer Service✨ Our server was very kind and attentive”

“Very special eatery located in Lake Stevens. Exceptional service and tasty food made for a fun night out with friends. They have a variety of unique cocktails, appetizers, main dishes, and desserts. Our table had the Heart & Soul, Smoked Manhattan, among others. The broccoli and chicken harissa appetizers were delicious as was the grilled bread with butter. I shared the scallops with lemon spinach risotto with a friend and another friend had the filet mignon. The dishes were cooked perfectly; both were tender and flavorful. We finished with the lemon vanilla cheesecake and apple/pear crisp with vanilla ice cream. We were celebrating two birthdays and the server put candles in the desserts for us. The last highlight was the jackalope wallpaper near the restrooms. Very cool! PS If you found this review helpful, please "heart" it. Thank you!”
