Reviews for Poirier's on the River in Mount Vernon, WA
Sooo good! Entrees: Étouffée????, Catfish w/ dirty risotto????, Perfect Prawns, and Cod. Starters: Crimini mushrooms, soft... shelled crab(acquired taste). All so good!! Plus we had Crab beignets and artichoke dip; which were also great. And do notforget Bread Pudding for dessert! The owner Scott is New Orleans all the way and everyone else we met were on task and reallygreat. Even the DRINKS were on point. We went twice in one week. Need a Cajun fix or trying it for the first time? This is yourjam! Read more
My husband and I went here a few days ago for the first time ever. We had a great time. We each had a cocktail and dinner. The... Bourbon Street Burger was a little messy but very tasty and I loved the seasoned fries. It was very filling and worth the price.On top of that there was lovely live music and just an overall pleasant feel. We had the pleasure of being waited on by one ofthe owners who was just all around nice and funny. We will definitely be going back. Read more
Definitely a cool, cozy place with a great atmosphere. Lots of potential! The staff was very attentive and friendly. The food,... however, was a bit disappointing. It was simply below average-quality pub food at steakhouse prices (around $20 for a burger andfries). The salad we ordered also lacked any real character and was an extra $7 to add chicken. I would love to update this inthe future to 5 stars because it really was a cool place, but there's just a lot of great food options in Mount Vernon. Read more
Had a great night at a table for one. Had a two meals (lol) and some wine while studying. Really relaxing vibe with blues music... and the right lighting. Great for work or a fun night with friends. The Shrimp Mac & Cheese is phenomenal. And the wine ispretty good, especially for Mount Vernon where you really can?t get a good glass of wine anywhere (except Bertelsen?sWinery). Also, the owner, Paul, is awesome. He was very friendly, greeted me and showed me to my table. He took time to sharehis wine recommendations (he selects them himself) and check back in on me later.

I love this place, such incredible gluten free options. I highly recommend! Delicious food, locally sourced I have never been... disappointed. The server Trista is incredible. I highly recommend the Lemon Basil Cider she insisted we try! Read more
Nice place but I wasn't immediately impressed with the food, sadly. It seems like they have a good menu but I would not reorder... the appetizer mushrooms or appetizer salmon cakes without encouragement. Read more
Went on a Friday. Was one of two tops inside, think they had 2 outside as well. Started with the Crab cakes, crab dip, and... garlic bread. The Crab cakes were actually Salmon cakes, as they were out of crab. They weren't bad, but a little dry. The crabdip was more of a bisque. I did find two chunks of crab in it, so that was exciting. Still not bad though. The garlic bread wasoverly cooked bread with some garlic and covered in melted parm, which gave the bread a greasy bottom. For my main, I orderedthe filet mignon, rare. It came medium rare, but was still pretty good. The asparagus were well made, and the potatoes were goodas well. Service was not bad. Overall, would have liked a little more flavor in the food, and more attention paid to theappetizers. Read more
Nothing bad to say about this place at all! Steven always cooks our meals to perfection and Angela and Tony are the best servers... in the valley. They're so great we always try to tip more than the standard 20%. If you're looking for a great place to eat withamazing food and service this is the place to go! Read more
