We went to Bend, Oregon to have a brunch at Currents which is located in the River house lodge. The set up is really nice and the view outside along the river, they also had live music playing while we had our lunch. I had the smoked beef brisket hash, because the special of the day they sold out. The smoked beef brisket hash was okay, I was expecting a smoked flavor, but didn't seem to have it. My wife had the soup & salad combo and she enjoyed the hardy soup with the flavor and the salad was a Caesar which was fresh and crispy and tasty. Our son in law enjoyed his tuna melt and Caesar salad very much and cleaned everything that was on his plate. Our daughter had the cheese fondue with bread chucks, but hardly touched it. We also shared the baked bread with virgin olive oil and balsamic vinaigrette which was very very good. Also we shared the vegetable platter with 2 different types of humus which also was very tasty and delicious. And we also shared the fried green tomatoes with a buffet type of sauce and it went really well. If you like a nice relaxing and scenic place to enjoy and relax and have a good meal, you should try currents. The restroom is clean and well maintained and the restaurant area was clean. The staff was nice and service was good. read more

Eating on the deck is a lovely setting. However the amount of brisket on the "Smoked Brisket Poutine" was embarrassingly little. Hardly enough to have Brisket in the name. The medium-rare steak was cold in the center and service was lacking. Hardly worth the prices we paid. read more

Sitting at a table watching the river flow past about 15 feet away. Beautiful and relaxing environment! The eggs Benedict may well the best I've ever eaten. Thick slices of grilled ham and bacon with perfectly poached eggs and the best breakfast potatoes on the planet. I know...I know...they're just potatoes, but these were perfectly crisp and incredibly tasty! Lemon hollandaise sauce (I always get it on the side so the muffin doesn't go soggy) was zesty and flavorful. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. I have nothing but praise for this establishment. VERY highly recommend. read more

This was my first time at Currents after being invited by a friend to have brunch there. It is part of the Riverhouse Hotel and it is right next to the river so it has a beautiful setting for the patio deck tables. We choose to sit inside though because it was kind of already hot. It's great to have both options available. The menu has both breakfast and lunch items so there's a variety to choose from. I ordered the slow smoked brisket hash. It was a bowl of delicious flavors. The brisket, in combination with the potatoes and other ingredients was tasty. My only complaint was that my over easy eggs were overcooked. In addition, my opinion is that it should have come with a piece of toast or some kind of bread. The dish would be perfect to have a carb side. My friends ordered a breakfast quinoa bowl and also the smoked salmon scramble and both loved their dishes. The kids who were with us ordered chicken strips and fries and also a mac & cheese. The mac & cheese looked amazing and so did all of the other entrées. Everyone liked and enjoyed their food. Portions are generous (although overall very pricey), and so we all had leftovers to take home. Service was excellent--attentive and kind. The whole staff we interacted with was friendly and welcoming. The dining room is beautiful and on that morning fairly quiet and peaceful. The patio is also gorgeous with the river being next to it and many diners were outside. Next time, I would choose the outside seating to enjoy the water scene. It was a wonderful experience for a first visit. I'm looking forward to going again. read more

I went to the river house with my mom as a little treat. We were seated in a strange area where they were loudly vacuuming the floor next to us. The chips and onion dip we ordered took weirdly long despite us being the only guests. They also were playing extremely bizarre music. But beyond that, the food was delicious and the views out the window were lovely. When we left, the staff were loudly socializing in a little group near the entrance. None of them said thank you or goodbye. It was kinda surreal, like we didn't matter during the entire visit. Maybe we just came by at a weird time. read more

I've come here a couple of times over the years during happy hour for a drink and maybe a burger. Currents is a solid option for that - pleasant ambiance, river view, good food. This review, however, is for their Christmas day brunch buffet. - Fairly large selection of food, including more than enough options for a vegetarian. Everything I tried was good, no disappointments. - Great service for drinks, plate-clearing, etc. - It's not cheap but reasonable. They do have a senior discount. - We were a party of ten, so were seated in the back room with all the food tables, which was nice. And the tables weren't packed together, making for a very comfortable dining experience. read more

The prime rib special is awesome. It's one of the specials. But honestly we have not had a disappointing meal yet. Staff is great and the cook studied bbq in Texas. Nice view of the river too. Happy hour gets a bit busy but that should be a good indicator read more

I was traveling across the USA with friends and we spent the night in Bend Oregon. The hotel recommended the restaurant. Everything was fantastic. Salads, Steak and dessert. Looking forward to visiting again one day. read more

Went for breakfast today at Currents at The Riverhouse and was pleasantly surprised. Hadn't been there for several years because their service was awful and sporadic and you never knew how things were going to go. but I love the setting so we tried again. The food was wonderful and they even had delightful entertainment. A treat for sure. Seems like I saw something about them on Nextdoor so decided to give them another chance. They had their act together today!! Such a pleasant experience. The food was delicious. I had an unusual Benedict dish that had sweet potatoes, refried beans and spinach. Wonderful! I would definitely have it again. Paired that with a mimosa. All around such a pleasant meal and visit. Love it when they solve the problem. Now we are going to have to try dinner. read more

We are staying at the hotel and hopefully. Ambiance is cute right along the river. Our service was absolutely terrible. There was hardly anyone there and it took over twenty minutes for the server to even approach our table. Our food came out and she never even checked on us. Our daughter's burger was made totally wrong. We flagged down a hostess since our server never came back. Second burger came 45 minutes after we had been waiting and it was still wrong. Server still never came and checked on us. Finally after 90 minutes she "showed" up said sorry the kitchen made a mistake and asked if we wanted anything else and provided us with our bill, which was insanely high. Super disappointed. read more

While the view from the patio is absolutely amazing the food was lovely as well. The pulled pork flatbread was delicious - the crust was perfect! My husband had the steak and it was flavorful and tender. A perfect evening. Service was quick and friendly and our dog liked it too! read more

The patio offers a beautiful setting overlooking the river. The drinks were good, though the service was spotty. The food prices are outrageous and definitely cost prohibitive for non-meat eaters: $18 for hummus, $17 for a pretzel, $14 for olives, $20 for heirloom tomato and burrata salad and, best of all, $31 for a quinoa and veggie bowl that probably costs $5 to make. Will likely visit again for drinks and the view, but we'll be spending our food $$ elsewhere. read more

So so disappointed in their food. Probably five little bites of meat of steak bites pile of bread, meatloaf sandwich tasteless. Expensive read more

Fantastic food and service! And so easy to get into!! I had the Huevos rancheros and the chicken apple sausage, and both were exemplary. Lots of fresh flavors from the pico de gallo, plenty of spice from the chorizo, eggs were cooked perfectly! Hadley was an attentive and knowledgeable server, and I would def request her for an amazing meal! Great views of the water and a beautiful venue! read more

If I could give ZERO stars, I would. We had reservations and still waited 30 minutes for a server to take our order. After ordering, we waited over an hour for food that NEVER arrived, so we finally left. Several tables around us were experiencing the same frustration. What made it worse was the complete lack of communication. The waitress offered no updates and repeatedly told us, "I don't know" when we asked how much longer it would be. We were there with hungry children and received no apology or explanation. Unfortunately, the view couldn't make up for the lack of service. read more

Father's day brunch was awesome, our server Jackie did amazing even though the food took a while. Very attentive, gave us extra attention and even extra donut holes for the wait. Very friendly service and when the food arrived it was great. Will be back because of the service! read more

Quality service. The ambiance right on the river is such an idyllic setting. The food though left more to be desired. The breakfast burrito had a quality variety of flavors but could've used a crema or some other sauce. No sides for the price point was also a bit of a disappointment. Dinner might be a better option, only can speak on the breakfast experience. read more

I love this bar. We probably go two or three times a month. The bartenders are really friendly, in particular Charlie. they have great happy hours, including food. We always take guests there because it's just a really nice place and the views are great. It's like Cheers TV show. read more

A wonderfully relaxing experience! The service was on-point! Thank you, Jackie. The ambiance was spectacular as we sat on the back deck on the river, nearing late afternoon and early evening light. The oyster appetizers were fantastic, the steak fondue was epic and the pepperoni flatbread was among my favorite flatbreads of all!! We read the reviews on this place and decided to try it anyway! Do it! Our experience was memorable in all the right ways. We sat with our pups too and kind staff brought water and checked in with us. We will be back! read more

We stayed at the Riverhouse for a wedding we were attending out of town. We had dinner Thursday night during happy hour and got the best deal. Burger for $10 and shared fries and $5 wine. The food was fabulous. There is indoor and outdoor seating. We sat outside by the river. It was warm and calm in the sun. For breakfast we sat inside as it was a bit too Cold. I had the corned beef hash. The meat was tender and had a juicy nice flavor. Service was slow. I would definitely come back here just to eat, whether staying at the hotel or not. read more

Too pricey. Burger and fries on lunch menu---$25. I realize prices have gone up everywhere, but this seems excessive. Add tip and you're up to $30. read more

Jacqueline was an excellent server. She knew exactly when to bring out entrée , made sure our drinks are always topped off, gave us our to go boxes without even asking. She was on top of everything during our dinner. Some of the best service I have seen in a restaurant. The food was delicious and well made. The ingredients was fresh and the house wine was surprisingly good. read more

3 of us came in here on Memorial Day for breakfast, a super busy day, I know. Staff was swamped - claimed 75% had called in sick. The hostess was doing EVERYTHING from bussing to menus to water, etc. So, not to be mean, instead of 3 stars we'll go 4 for the 'heroic' effort. Two of us ordered the spinach tomato avocado benedict, my son the corned beef. The poached eggs may well have been hard boiled. No seasoning to speak of, and I thought it curious the spinach was just raw leaves tossed on top - i kinda thought for $20 they should be wilted or cooked in. the Potato's looked/tasted like they'd been in oven for many hours, hard and bland. My son inhaled his corned beef. We didnt bother ordering coffee as it was clear no refills would be coming :) Nice view, nice patio, but I'd probably skip coming back here. read more

Currents at The Riverhouse - Benedict - New American Near Me - Bend, Oregon

Just ate here because I am staying at the hotel for a conference. The level of service or lack there of was astonishing. Our server was so inattentive, forgetful and purely poor at her job it was laughable. Nearly everything with our experience was poor. We only received one menu and a sheet of the specials. We were told they were short and that we would get ones; never did. Drink order was taken. For a screw top bottle, she used a bottle opener. Soda was 3/4 full. Order for dinner was taken. Two entrees. Asked for a side salad before the entrees arrived. Our food came out; Well one of ours did. Complete different tables order. Salad still has not arrived. About 10 minutes later the other entree arrived. Still no salad. Our server blamed the food runners. No sincerity or accountability of her own. Salad came half way through the entree. I declined as it was pointless at this juncture. The food was mediocre for the price. We were asked if we'd like to have desert. We ordered gelato. Again, at least 10-15 minutes before it arrived. When it arrived it was half way melted. My colleague asked for another serving because it was too melted. I just accepted what I got because I was wanting to get this over sooner than later. When we asked for the check, it arrived. Kind of challenging to fill out the check without a pen. When I asked our server for a pen, I was met with a little hostility saying that if I was paying with a card I should have just put the card out. I wanted to charge it to the room. Please note that the hostesses, bussers and other staff were nice and sincere. Our "server" on the other hand was a disaster. This wasn't just at our table but others that we could observe in our vicinity. I hope she was just having a bad day or something else. If not, she should look for a different line of work. Needless to say, we won't be eating there again even though we will be here for an additional two days. I'd recommend you dine off property at the RiverHouse Lodge read more

I love this place so much. Every time I come to the beautiful located establishment it always meets my expectations whether it's the amazing service or the delicious food.the waiters are so nice and even got me a free lemonade. HIGHLY RECOMMEND make sure to check this place out if you are hungry and in for a good time. Logan age 12 read more

I came here with my parents for a nice dinner on our first night in Bend. This place was so great, I started writing this review before we even finished dinner. The ambiance is amazing inside and outside with lovely and peaceful views of the river. The food was outstanding and the portions generous. We all enjoyed every dish we ordered. Jackie was our server and she was wonderful. She was pleasant and attentive and a lot of fun to talk to. She even gave a small sample of their soup so we could decide if we wanted to order it. The young man who greeted us when we walked in and seated us was also very kind and accommodating (I didn't get his name). Overall it was a great experience and I would highly recommend. read more

Ok so this was the restaurant at the hotel I was staying at and I came here twice. Once during breakfast time and once during diner time. Overall all the place is a 3. Both times I sat and the bar as it was only me and got two different servers. During breakfast the lady was nice but distant. I orders the egg Benedict with smoke salmon, the potatoes and a side of avocado. I drank a OJ. I was a little disappointed that when I turned the avocado was gray so I had to leave half of it on the plate. Overall the egg Benedict were delicious. I came back for dinner and because I wasn't that hungry I ordered the flatbread and one of their local IPA draft, Boneyard. Flatbread was very had but it has a good flavor. Jeff and Steve were the bartenders during diner and they were very nice and friendly. The bar was nice and quiet both times I went so both time for me were a pleasant time. Overall if I'm staying here again (hotel is definitely a 2), I would come back for the egg Benedict and to try something else on the diner menu. read more

We were seated outside by a lovely host, he served us water. Then nothing, I mean nothing, no waitress nothing. Waited until the table next to us was served food while we had nothing. They arrived 3 minutes prior to us. I would have been ok if the waitress had even acknowledged us, but no she never did. We walked out without ever being served. read more

Had a server that was supposed to wait on us but went to everyone else on several other tables and came to us once. Possibly twice to confirm our drinks after I had to go to the bar and ask for our drinks. The bar tender brought us our drinks. She only really came up to get our food order which took along time because she was going to the other tables to check on at least 3 times in front of my face. We were told they were busy and short staffed but yet not getting the service as most of the other customers were getting. Not sure why but I can take a guess. My last name is Lopez so you all can take a guess. I made a complaint to the manager and they wanted to compensate the meal. We are not like that so we paid but we just wanted for her attitude to be corrected as we are not those types of people. We worked here before and prior to new management we never felt this type of disrespect. Management made us feel as though he's never had this type of issue with this employee. This girl was not nice and was very short and definitely not a sincere person. I understand that we each go through things, but when doing a job we're supposed to keep our personal issues at home. We are supposed to give the upmost best service no matter what the job is and the lack of trust in my word as a customer was insulting and hopefully nobody else has to go through this again. I am hoping that management can actually have the skills to teach their employees how to treat all customers of all ethnicities there because I've never felt so disrespected. It was Mother's Day and this is the last thing I wanted my mother to experience. We got there at 7:00 and because of the lack of service so to speak, we didn't get out of there till about close to 9:00. We only had two drinks and minimal amount of food. I hope that this tells everyone how long we should've been there truly if we would've had decent service. We also never got our server to bring us the bill or ask us if we were done with our food we had to go up to them to get boxes and our check. Otherwise we probably would've gotten out of there at 9:30 so at that point I went to speak to the manager. I think that should speak volumes. Our stay was amazing but the restaurant service not so amazing in fact quite the opposite. I hate having to write this but the amount of disappointment especially after being employed here previously and never being made to feel this way. I felt compelled to write this. I do have to give the front desk/check in area was amazing just amazing! read more

Very good breakfast meals and great service. 4 adults and 4 kids. Surprisingly good for motel restaurant.

Stopped in to have dinner after coming from Crater Lake and heading to Sisters. The service was terribly slow and the food was mediocre. We only saw our waitress 2 times the entire hour we were here. Staffing needs to be improved. It was nice sitting out by the creek/river. read more

Met great friends here on our visit to Bend. We were offered seating inside or on the patio and we chose outside. The evening was so comfortable and watching and listening to the stream was soothing! We were promptly greeted by Dylan who was a great server. He took our cocktail orders and I ordered the Mexcalita! What a fabulous cocktail! Spicy and tasty... if you can handle a little "heat", I'd be sure to give this signature cocktail a try. Everyone enjoyed their entrees, especially me. I ordered the Blackened Rockfish. The description is very misleading in that it says it came with "New Orleans B.B.Q. sauce". That made NO sense to me on a blackened fish dish. Dylan explained that it was really BBQ sauce, but a reduction and my wife said go for it. I did and was so happy with the meal! I'd give it 5 stars on its own. The ambiance, service, beverages and dinners were very good and I would highly recommend giving Currents a try. You won't be disappointed! read more

We used to go to Currents for breakfast and happy hours. It was always fun and service and food were always good. However, since the new management came in, service has gone downhill as well as the happy hour menu. We were just in there this morning after previously saying we would never go back. We were seated and completely ignored...again as we were on our previous visit. The people that were seated after us were waited on before us. We thought our server was going to take our order as she was waiting on the table right next to us, and my wife kept turning around looking at her, instead she walked away. The waitress knew we were there as she previously came down the stairs and had eye contact with both of us. read more

Meh. I am always hesitant with hotel restaurants but the menu looked good so I tried it, twice. First off, it is freezing. The staff was a little cold as well. The menu was missing the delicious items that I saw here. I tried the beet salad- it was really good. I ordered a coffee which was awful. Later that evening I tried a change of scenery and ate at the bar. The bartender was nice but not overly accommodating. The flatbread was mediocre. The drink, an old fashioned, was awful. The online reviews were good. I was surprised. The vibe was ok- I wish the fireplaces had been on. If you are staying at the hotel it is probably ok for convenience but I would not go out of the way to go here. read more
