For reasons unrelated to restaurant quality or reputation, we'd avoided Zydeco. Recently, however,…read morealong with a couple friends, we decided to give it a shot. Verdict: Zydeco is an outstanding restaurant in virtually every way. No negatives to report. The place is popular - arriving just before opening on a weekday, there was a line to get in. Reservations are definitely a good idea here. Our early arrival in line allowed us to choose a good table in the back, where it wouldn't be too hectic. That too was a good idea as the place gets loud with conversation when it fills up. Music wasn't loud, just the people. The menu isn't huge but there are quite a few, varied choices. Given the meal was a bit of a splurge for us, I essentially ignored the prices, which are not trivial by any means. Fine dining entails spending money. Zydeco has a ton of reviews and as the menu apparently doesn't change, I'll just say everything we ordered was great. Cocktails too. The Bramble Down is exquisite. Service was top tier as well. Timely, attentive, professional without being stiff. The capstone to our experience involved the bill. We actually had a gift card from 2017 - nine years ago. While it certainly didn't cover the whole bill, or even half, it was a nice way to defray costs. Unfortunately, when the server ran the gift card, it showed no balance. Not sure why but perhaps over the years, the card had been erased by stray EMF. Despite that and given we provided the card receipt, the restaurant honored the card for the full amount anyway. Well done. Highly recommended.

I paid for a cake for my son's 5th year old birthday, that he was so excited about. When I came to…read morepick up the cake at the confirmed pick up time and date (his birthday) I tried to open the door both before, at, and after my pick up time (I was there for almost an hour waiting) but, there was a CLOSED sign on the door, the lights were off and no one answered my multiple phone calls. I watched as others also tried to open the door, but was locked. I still have not received a refund for the cake I did not receive and needless to say my kids were pretty disappointed.

I contacted her a few weeks in advance. I was traveling to Oregon from Texas to celebrate our girls' birthdays. I mailed her the toppers for both the cake and 15 cupcakes. She was quick to respond and said she would be able to provide free delivery within the bend area which was perfect because the party was in bend. She was super nice in providing additional cupcake toppers as I ordered 24 cupcakes but didn't have enough toppers. She really went above and beyond any expectations I had. Her prices were competitive in comparison to other bakers in the area but ultimately she was the one with the most reasonable prices. The payment process was super easy too! The cakes were a huge hit at the party and everyone kept asking where I got such beautiful cakes from. The buttercream was soo good and the chocolate and vanilla cake were good too!! If I lived in Central Oregon I would definitely continue to use Elevation Desserts for my custom cakes.

Located inside the Podski food truck area! I saw this listed on the website and knew I had to try…read moreit! They have quite a list of flavors and I wanted to try a few but they are $10/slice and I don't think 2 slices for $20 is worth it. That being said, the cheesecake is very yummy. I had the raspberry marble and very much enjoyed it. She recommended leaving it out to warm up for about 15 minutes to get the most flavor. I am impatient so I waited about 10 and it was a bit firm but definitely full of flavor! Personally this feels like an every once in a while treat because of the price. Definitely worth trying at least once!

How was there only one vegan review for this amazing cheesecake?…read more I have to admit, I was a little skeptical when my husband read me that lone vegan review, but we walked out the hotel door anyway. Then I was skeptical again when I saw that all the vegan options were also gluten free. That's me throwing shade at gluten free folks. Kidding. I probably should be GF too. Anyway, YES. Fantastic cheesecake. Please give it a try. The peanut butter cup did not disappoint. We also had a drink next door, so no rush back to feast on the cheesecake. (I would post a picture, but the only one I took was for my vegan friends and taken from the bathtub. I also highly recommend eating it in a very hot bathtub, since it comes nearly frozen!)
