A couple of months ago my darling wife Sheri and I were at some friends in near Seattle. We decided to go out to dinner and headed into the town of Snohomish. This is an older town that has made itself into a destination with antique stores and restaurants. The town is surrounded by farms that are quickly being encroached upon by housing developments. The couple of blocks of the old part of town feel relaxed and part of the past. It's a nice getaway. We walked up and down the street to find someplace that would give us a good meal. We looked in a few bakeries, a couple of taverns and a ethnic restaurant of two before we settled on The Repp. This is an older bar with worn wood pine flooring, a bar that takes up 2/3 of the space in the main room and booths with curtains on them for privacy. When we were there we started off with salads. The standard house salad is a must for anyone visiting here. The greens were fresh, the cheese delicious and the vinaigrette dressing quite tasty. The goat cheese fritters were also worth trying as an appetizer. We also enjoyed the roasted garlic and three cheese dip. We didn't realize how hungry we were until we saw the menu. Most of the party had hamburgers that had thick tasty patties made from Kobe beef. These came with blue or cheddar cheese and were a substantial meal. I had the herb roasted chicken with garlic mashed potatoes. A great meal worth traveling for.
Enjoy!
