However , not fine dining . The experience wasn't worth the prices. the main course meals were not worth the price. $48 for the seared tuna which was 4 small pieces over a small amount of rice that was cold . not much to the meal- or presentation. in addition the pasta was like eating out of a box or can. $32 for a small bowl of pasta that was not good at all. The server was nice , but nothing over the top. the overall experience for a 30 year anniversary was very disappointing.

From checking to see if the available table on the patio has shades, bringing over an umbrella after seeing the sun was blinding my wife, giving us a credit even though the issue is Opentable, and the incredible donut dessert with a candle for our birthday girl. Top notch service, we really appreciated the effort. The food was solid, a number of options for the kids meal combo, the daily special of steak and frites (that came with a house wine or beer), and the donut was a whole next level of deliciousness. We will come back for the hospitality alone, once again thank you for making this a memorable birthday meal for our little girl.

Was odd...and fiiiinally someone came up to tell us we could seat ourselves/ choose any seat. Okie dokie then. We had the most delicious food here! I was a tad hesitant after reading a few of the reviews..but wow I was pleasantly surprised! Shared all the plates as they were all nice portions. We had some spiced popcorn while we waited for our food. The Buffalo chicken salad had large pieces of chicken so nice and juicy. Salad and dressing was fresh. Cesar salad was also really crispy. Slider burger was juicy and perfectly cooked. Cornmeal breaded calamari was a nice twist w the unique breading complete with 2 dipping sauces. We sat outside and enjoyed the company of the other tables as it had a lively vibe. I will be back next time I'm in town.

We had the ale and the Huckleberry lemon drop both good. Problem was the server Katie was a bit abrasive and it made the experience uncomfortable. I ordered hot tea, the first service of it was cold. I asked for an after dinner cup of coffee and Katie told me she didn't want to brew me a pot to "waste on just me". How weird. She acted like I was a problem. So as a lifetime hospitality server I felt unwelcome and uncomfortable. I would have loved to eat some delicious gyro but I chickened out to ask for a remaking of my food. Ambiance here is amazing. The band was superb. The other patrons were pleasant and it appeared everyone was having a good time. Overall service and food need lots of work to be a place I would recommend. I almost felt like reaching out to management to see if they wanted to do a do over tonight but im not sure the food was the quality I would enjoy even at its best.

Thankfully, they let you add your name to the waitlist so you can explore downtown Bend while you wait, which worked out perfectly since it's surrounded by cute shops and walkable streets. We came here to celebrate our two year anniversary, and it was the perfect date night spot. The atmosphere was warm, dark, and romantic with a rustic Western inspired feel that felt not overdone but fit Bend perfectly! For dinner, we ordered the scallops with the squid ink pasta. The scallops were perfectly tender, and while the pasta was a little on the greasy side, it was still packed with flavor. We also had a salad and the beef carpaccio to share. The carpaccio was delicious, though I think it would have been even better with a different type of crackers since the ones served were a bit too hard. Overall, the food, atmosphere and close location made for a great evening. If you're planning to dine here, definitely make a reservation ahead of time!

I show up, had a great table, great drinks, food and dessert too. I had the "PAC. Northwest Ribeye, horseradish mashed potatoes, with the house sauce (mushroom). The steak was AMAZING! (You can have the sauce on the side, but why?) The thick (14oz.) steak laid half over the mashers, and sauce all over which is how I liked it. The mashed potatoes had the perfect blend of horseradish (not overpowering) that went well with my medium-rare steak. It was delicious and, boy I was full! Parking was like (well, you know Bend!) reasonable (no reflection on the restaurant) get there early and stake your claim! The service was amazing, the food was awesome (my steak was flavorful, juicy, and cooked to perfection!). Price $$$ It is what you'd expect for such a fine dining experience! My drink was (I can't remember the name) but was a crushed berry, whiskey, mint leaf, on ice, but very tasty! I want more! Kudos and compliments to everyone there for making my birthday dining experience so wonderful! My desert, a slice of chocolate fudge cake with vanilla ice cream!

I'm still a fan of supporting local culinary training schools, like Elevation. But it is also fair…read moreto say that since Elevation has raised their dinner prices in the last 18 months from $19 to $21 to $23 and now to $30, one might fairly expect more for both food quality and service at that price than was delivered in our last two experiences here. Last term we had under seasoned food on some dishes, served undercooked on others, and warm instead of hot on still others. Elevation has now also changed their lunch service to a la carte ordering from the small lunch menu. A nice change but ordering that way with shared small plate to start, two just so-so entrees and two soft beverages brought my friend's and my lunch tab above $40. Service for this meal, while friendly, was lackluster and the food just OK. I realize this is a teaching school, so is CIA in Hyde Park and the SF culinary academy and the myriad of other schools, from big names to community college based where I've enjoyed meals over the years. I expect neither food nor service to be perfect at culinary school dining rooms and that is part of the fun, being guinea pigs for the students. But now for $30 prix fixe at dinner and the prices at lunch (fish tacos = $14, burger = $15) I expect both to be better than they have been during the last three meals at Elevation. In fact, after dropping $150, with wine before tip, for four people at dinner most recently our out of town friends commented that they probably wouldn't consider this as a dining destination next time they were in Bend given the cost for just OK food in that meal and learning curve service. We'd agree were we visitors, we might think twice before spending $60 / couple for the food alone. As residents we'll continue to go once a quarter, as opposed to twice as we did before, to support the students. But with the myriad of other dining options in Bend at this price point, it's fair to have higher expectations. Were this any other table service restaurant that raised menu prices by 33% in less than two years, diners would have fair expectations of elevated (no pun intended) return for the price increase. THIS N THAT: 1) Lunch menu used to mirror dinner menu but lunch is now an entirely different menu. Nice change. But you can also end up dropping $30 at lunch. Mains (for example, burgers and cobb type salad) are in the $14 - $15 range, add $5 if you have dessert and another $8 if you also pick from the starter menu and the total can quicikly approach that $30 mark. (lunch menu: http://elevationbend.com/menu/lunch-menu/) 2) Summer term means outdoor dining is available for lunch and dinner.
