My husband and I discovered this little gem and had dinner there on Saturday. From the outside, it doesn't look like much, but once you step inside, you're welcomed by a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The real highlight, though, is the food. We started with the calamari, which was lightly fried and perfectly prepared--crispy without being heavy or greasy like you often find elsewhere. For our entrées, I ordered the Sole à la Meunière, and it was absolutely outstanding. It was cooked beautifully, and I enjoyed every last bite. My husband chose the Cassoulet and loved it just as much; his plate was completely clean by the end of the meal. The service was excellent as well. Our server was attentive, friendly, and made us feel welcome throughout the evening without ever being intrusive. To finish, we shared the Lemon Tartlet, which was the perfect ending to a wonderful dinner. Great food, excellent service, a warm atmosphere, and an overall fantastic dining experience. We'll definitely be back! read more

No GF menu but ask about gf options- so much of the menu can be made gluten free! I got the Fig Pig and Goat GF Flatbread and it was really good! The sausage wasn't spicy and the goat cheese and fig jam were so good together. My only suggestion is cooking it a little less time because the outer edge was quite hard and eating it gave me jaw pain. Another thing I thought was odd was how everyone's food came out at different times. It was an 8 person book club and some people were not eating at all while others were nearly done. Super nice service though and the place was really pretty. I liked the cute salt and pepper shakers that were different on each table! read more

Such a cute vibe! I wasn't aware they were going through a rebrand. Turning more into a French restaurant rather than just wine. But the wine was delicious. Service was great and very attentive. Plenty of seating and every cool vibe with fun music. Definitely a fun get together or date night spot. read more

Really poor service. Actually shameful. Cheese board was actually just a brie board. French onion soup was great though. Will not be coming back. Same money and awesome experience at RBC.... read more

Very good meal! I had the duck. It was delicious! Our guest had steak frites and sole. Everyone loved their meal. Definitely putting in the special dinner rotation. read more

Always unusual, different ,amazing wine choices. Great knowledgable servers, delicious, interesting food.

Thoughtful ownership sets the stage for a cozy experience at Flights! While flights is a wine bar, and they have a great selection, the food is a great reason to visit too! It's a fun cozy setting, and the fried chicken Thursday doesnt disappoint (go early!). The team is always attentive and friendly. They also have a great private room where we recently hosted a birthday party for about 25 and it was a great experience. I really appreciated that they let us in early to decorate and it felt like our server was always there when anyone needed her. Highly recommend for a date night, girls night or a gathering. Tip -- there is a lot of parking in the back and you can walk right up the stairs. read more

Flights is hands down my favorite place to go for lunch, happy hour and dinner. Their wine selection is amazing and I love that you can get different flights as it's so much fun to try different wines. AND their food is always delicious!! They also do amazing events- I have been to winemaker dinners, tasting events (meet your wine match is a must!), live music on Saturday and trivia on Sunday. read more

Flights is a great place for a light snack, some filling main course options and a delightful selection of good wines. You can also get a beer or a cocktail but the main focus is on the wine selections. I highly recommend this establishment. The service is Great and the ambience is subdued and perfect for a small gathering or an intimate date read more

Where do I even start?! First of all my husband and I are from Sonoma County so we know our wine. But this establishment GETS IT. First wine bar in Bend where I felt like they weren't BS'ing their way through it. They know it and know it well. The vibe is immaculate from the music to the decor. Now let's talk food. We ordered calamari and it honestly melts in your mouth. I've had my fair share of calamari and the flavor and texture is just chefs kiss. Also ordered the Philly without cheese (dairy allergy) and even though it was missing a fundamental ingredient it was still unreal. So tender and flavorful. I can't wait to come back for dinner. All the options sound sooooo good. read more

I love Flights! The wine is so well curated, the food is delicious and the space is fun and inviting. I've met a group of friends for happy hour a few times and their patio was a great place for all of us to hang out and the staff was super attentive. Whether you simply love to drink wine or you geek out about it, you'll find a wine you love. The owner is a Certified Sommelier and her passion for the industry shows in the wine list. read more

Pleasant ambience. One could actually carry on a conversation without shouting. Excellent service with a wonderful waitress. The food overall was very good. Interesting wine selections. My main criticism is the pricing structure of the wines. The prices were over the top per glass for average wines. The structure made no sense and jacked up the price of the whole meal. Your better off ordering a whole bottle. $26 for a glass of St. Innocent Pinot seems a bit ridiculous. We had a really fun dining there, but in retrospect, I would be cautious about future visits! read more

What can we say. Flights is amazing. Their food is consistently wonderful. The choices of wine great! Kelsey can pair amazing wines with their menu. We've been frequenting Flights for the last 3 years and have not been disappointed. Keep up the good work Flights! Kathy & Don read more

Exceptional wine bar with knowledgeable staff. Love the wine club, and other special events. I have tried so many new wines that they offer as part of a flight. Give it a try; you won't be disappointed. read more

Too bad I don't have an option for 6 stars. This place is awesome! We wound up here by accident as we were waiting for reservations next door, and we were blown away. Everyone was really friendly and knowledgeable, and the live music; bluesy, classic guitar added so much to the experience. We ordered a flight of the red and all were awesome, and we left with a bottle for a special occasion in the future. We didn't eat due to our previous reservations, (though they gave us a great recommendation for a dish to order next door) but we will definitely be back on our next trip to Bend. Great job Flights! read more

My wife and I went with our dinner group (8) to Flights. Server was very pleasant and attentive. Great wine selections. Food was outstanding. She had the beet salad. I had the soup of the day. We shared the Steak Frites. Then to top it off we got a OMG chocolate dessert. We will be going back for sure. read more

Met girlfriend here for the evening, and we really enjoyed the ourselves! Lovely atmosphere, very relaxing. The service was excellent. Knowledgeable and friendly, and came around. Just enough times while we were there. Food menu is interesting and goes well with a couple glasses of wine. I'd come here again in a heartbeat. read more

Lovely little tuck away wine bar. This was perfect for a stop on my birthday before dinner next door. read more

Bistro Colette - The Dark Side Flight - Wine Bars Near Me - Bend, Oregon

What a gem this place is, far from just a wine bar. From service to the ambiance and the food, this place is amazing. Our waitress was very kind and friendly, as we came in at a rather later time and she brought plates out perfectly timed. From the 'snacks & bites' we chose the eggplant Halloumi crostini, fried calamari, simple salad and the warm marinated olives, all of which being equally delicious. My favorite being the crostini, it just hit all the spots. We then moved onto the 'sharables' portion of the menu and went with the pan seared day boat scallops and the soy ginger glazed black cod. I truthfully can't say which was better as both were cooked to perfection. Although, the soy glaze was something I'll be trying to replicate at home. Dessert consisted of the coconut cake and strawberry cheesecake crème brûlée. I wasn't a fan of the strawberry filling at the bottom of the crème brûlée, it was a little too jelly like for my taste buds. We could've eaten the whole coconut cake to ourselves! They also have special events and fried chicken (certain dates) which I'll be back for. Overall great suggestion and place to check out for a date night or just a night out. P.S. they had the comfiest seating thus far read more

The ambiance is excellent. Cute winery-oriented shellacked tables, nice lighting. Extensive wine list from all over. Flights are 3 glasses and are 3 or 6 Oz. Food is excellent. Service is very attentive. Gabe and Mason are friendly and helpful. They also have a full bar. And the Flight Club is something to consider if you enjoy wine, like to wine taste, and want 3 bottles 4 times a year read more

I've had such a great time every time I've visited Flights. on my first visit, I sampled a Grenache flight and the second visit I sampled a white flight. the cava was SO good!! the staff is so knowledgeable about their wines and are there to inform you in such an approachable way. we snacked on the house potato chips and the olives! and loved the dessert options. can't wait to go back! read more

Lovely place to go and have quality wine. The owners, Kelsey and Ken are so personable and kind. Huggable. Lethan and Annika are so sweet also. Great wines and delicious small plates too. I love it Marie read more

This place must be Bend's best-kept secret. The owners were present and clearly passionate about their business. The wine and food were delicious, with wine flights offering fun facts for each sample. The staff was outstanding, and the atmosphere was incredibly cozy. I think this will become our new regular date night spot. read more

Flights is a great little wine bar. I personally love the Thursday night dinner special of fried chicken. The wine selection is broad, and affordable. Based on my experience, all of the wines are "drink now" style, so not huge, complex and age worthy, but pleant to pop and pour. There's a large mix in the $50 range, +\-$10. There's beer and cocktails and the menu has a lot of solid dishes. Its a nice atmosphere, and on the smaller side for space. Everyone is very friendly and accommodating. read more

Wine was fabulous and the owner was extremely polite and friendly. And he helped pick out the best wine possible. What is really interesting about Flights Wine Bar, is the numerous wine maps from around the world and especially the wine maps from the various states around America, A MUST SEE!! I would recommend Flights Wine Bar to family, friends, and neighbors here in Bend, Oregon. read more

This is truly a hidden gem. Every single aspect is fantastic. Ambiance, service, food and wine. Really one of the best in Bend. The food is worth the visit. Exceptional menu. Well done. Try it out. You will not be disappointed. read more

Agree with the previous reviewer; nice to have wine options at different price points. Love the flights and they were great pairings. Food was pretty good although it's a small menu; not a bad thing just a heads up if you have picky eaters. Staff were lovely, and it has such a nice vibe inside. read more

Great new Wine Bar in town. Been sad since Wine Styles closed. Need to open one in Redmond also.

We absolutely love this wine bar. The ownership and staff are all so friendly and make us feel so welcome! Wonderful wine selection and elevated food. We've met many new friends here and enjoy every time we visit! Thank you to all the staff for being so amazing! read more

The interior-As you walk in, you're greeted with a huge display of wine from ceiling to floor. Then you're greeted with a smiling face waiting to welcome you. The place is as if you're a your friends home. Warm, and cozy, the aesthetics are very inviting! The Staff-happy, friendly, smiling, they seem like they like their job. Knowledgeable and helpful. Did I mention they Smile?! Jen and Zethan, you're amazing!!! The sommelier and co owner- Kelsey-you got a question about the wine, she's going to give you an answer. Don't know what you want, she'll help with a selection to satisfy your taste buds. Chef Nick-so kind, and humble! Chef Nick's food-ahhhh so DELICIOUS! Mac a cheese with cavatappi pasta my fave, sweet potato mash, I don't like sweat potato but I could eat for days. The salad, the salad, THE SALAD. To die for! House made sausage yum! The house picles and potato chips wit truffle salt ahhhh. The wine. Let's not forget the wine!!! It's nice to have wine that I haven't tried!!!! It's great to not have to look through pages of wine. To see a few select flights, red, white, mix, instead of just choosing a wine I drink. So comforting!!! this is definitely a place I'll go back to. read more

Kelsey and team made room for 30+ of our friends on a Saturday afternoon with short notice. The wines were great, delightful appetizers and perfect service.

I was very excited to see a wine bar open in our neighborhood. I went last Sunday and it was great. As you walk in you gave a wall of wine to choose from to either take with you or they will open it at your table. The flights of wine were fun and the staff really knew all about each selection. We also tried a lot of the food and they have it down to a tee. I'm super excited to make this my go to place for friends getting together, or a quiet dinner. read more

Really enjoyed the wine, food and atmosphere at this charming wine bar. The employees were super knowledgeable and friendly which made the evening fun! Kelsey, the owner, is adorable. We loved Flights and will return! read more

What a delightful spot. Hubby and I stopped for lunch and were not disappointed. Kelsey, the owner, was gracious and knowledgeable and the food was fantastic. I had the eggplant grilled cheese with an Albarino, and hubby had the brisket sandwich with a Barolo. Oh, did I mention the home made potato chips? This is a very welcome addition to the Westside dining scene and we will definitely be back....probably for the Thursday night fried chicken dinner or happy hour with the Ladies. read more

I went to Flights last week and got sit on the patio with heat lamps. It was whimsical. This place has a great combination of ambiance, food, and drink selection. I snacked on the marcona almonds and olives and enjoyed the grilled halloumi sandwich while relaxing with gal pals. The people who work there are trained well and were attentive to our large party. I will definitely be bringing my husband for a date night soon. Such a cool little place! read more
