LJ's Bistro & Bar

We got the lamb shank and the filet mignon - both delicious. We sat at the bar, great atmosphere and friendly bartenders!

If you're looking for high-end gourmet food that is always more than delicious in little Lake Stevens Washington LJ's bistro and Bar is the only place to go. They always have extremely good ingredients and menu items to choose from but not overwhelming. Their bar staff serves exotically delicious drinks that have very beautiful presentation. It's a very exciting and fun place to eat and the staff is very friendly. It's awesome to see the kitchen staff at work buzzing around making their what I would like to call FOOD ART. If you're looking for a piece of meat or just a burger it is all absolutely delicious!!! Dietary restrictions: I have some very strict dietary restrictions and LJ's is one of the only places that we can go that doesn't make me sick because they use such great ingredients. Parking: We've always had pretty good luck with grabbing a parking spot even when they're busy but at times it seems like the parking lot is really full and the last time we were there our friends that were with us discovered that if you go straight back and around the back of the building complex there's a whole parking lot in the rear on the west side...

We went back and tried their food one more time. Big mistake, first waitress got my wifes order wrong, the food was set back and what came back was inedible. The pasta was under cooked and way over salted to the point all you taste was the salt. There were only four or five mushrooms burnt to a crisp. I had the LJ burger, the fries soggy on the top ones and burnt on the bottom ones, Inedible . Great food, our server was very attentive. Nothing as good as this in lake Stevens. This was our first time since they moved, should have gone sooner. After our last visit I need to change our rating to one star. My wife orded the Greek salad with beets and goat cheese. The beets were canned the cheese was one lump and the green where bad. I had the daily special nothing special here.

The food was really good, the service was really nice, and overall was a good experience. I got the lamb with a side of mushrooms made with red wine, and let me tell you, the lamb is fell off the bone tender, and the red wine mushrooms were an amazing touch.
