    Carbonara
    Anissa G.

    Delicious Italian restaurant! We made reservations on the website the same day and immediately sat down. It's a cute, small-vibe place with friendly staff. The Carbonara and Chicken Parm entrees didn't disappoint. We'll be back on our next trip to Bend!

    Beef Carpaccio

    Absolutely amazing!! The food was all phenomenal, service was wonderful, small but quaint and ornate atmosphere. 10/10 recommend!

    We arrived but didn't have a reservation. They were able to seat us at the bar immediately. The bartender was attentive and friendly, always had a smile on. Our food arrived promptly and were perfect portions. Scallops appetizer was delicious--tender w w wonderful smooth sauce. Our baby kale salad was delicious. I had the handmade ravioli which was excellent. My husband had the wild boar w handmade pasta, also delicious. We finished up the meal w the chocolate torte. Yum. It's a cute little place w nice lighting and a charming atmosphere. Highly recommend.

    The food tastes and looks great! The ambiance is good, it gives small speak easy vibes almost. My only issue is every single time I've gone here (3 times) they've brought me the wrong food and then I wait for the right food and my compensation is usually a small piece of bread with honey butter. Regardless though I enjoy the food, personality of the staff, and the wine selection so I won't complain too much, we get there eventually.

    Love me some Italian food and I haven't yet found a good place in Bend until NOW!! We went in pretty early around 5pm and the place was about half full. We were greeted with friendly people and given an amazing booth by the window. I have to say the service here was top notch. Claudia was kind attentive, helpful and just the right amount of great conversation and recommendations. My wife ordered the Sea Scallops, and I ordered the Beef Carpaccio Appetizers. Now I've had some scallops in my life but let me tell you this Chef knows what he's doing. Not only were they picture perfect they were cooked to perfection. Best Scallops I have ever eaten, hands down. I'm so happy my wife was willing to give me a couple bites. Not to be missed. My beef Carpaccio was delicious with the fresh toasted bread. YUMMY! I ordered the Hand Made Ravioli with Meat sauce and she the Duck Ragu. Pasta was cooked perfectly and the portion sizes were just right. The amazing flavors were diverse and I don't know how they could have been better. Desert was Chocolate Torte, Tiramisu and they had Basil Gelato. I think that's what it was. Wow that knocked my socks off. SOOO Good. This unassuming jewel in the heart of Bend is my new favorite place to eat. GREAT service, GREAT food and decent prices. What could be better? Loved it loved it loved it! THANK YOU!!!

    Scallops with butternut risotto!

    Excellent dining here at Salute with even better service from Lianne! Three of us celebrated my husband's birthday about 2 weeks ago on a Tuesday evening. The ambiance is classy without being stuffy. Food was very good with very minor changes I would have made. However, I am the first to say I am very particular. This is probably more a reflection of my pickiness vs. their chefs' talents. My scallops were a tad undercooked for my taste but that's the key, for MY taste. For others, I'm sure it would have been perfect. I like mine solid and still tender. These were a tiny bit soft. Flavors were excellent! The butternut squash risotto didn't taste at all like it had butternut squash in it but it was yummy! I would definitely order that dish again. I ordered the last tiramisu, served in a very cute jar. I like my tiramisu to be very creamy and light. This was a bit heavy. I think I might prefer the square cake-like form factor. My husband and our friend loved the osso bucco, zero complaints from them. I sampled a bite and yes sirree, it was tender and flavorable. Highly recommended. Lianne's service is what put my rating over the top from 4 to 5. Lianne knows the fine art of being attentive and friendly without being intrusive. We were one of the last parties finishing up, and not only were not given the bum's rush, Lianne even chatted with us as she was working. We shuffled out of there satisfied, worth every penny.

The owners closed up shop downtown and created this new place on 2nd Street in Bend's Central District. It's now called Dogwood at the Pine Shed. Why Yelp won't create a new, distinct page for the Pine Shed is beyond me. That said, the Pine Shed is a fine place for drinks and food truck fare. The open, spacious 'shed' has plenty of varied seating surrounding a nice bar with quite a few tables outside on the patio. Mobility-challenged folks have choices too. For those worried about 2nd Street's reputation for sketchiness, don't be. Revitalization efforts by the city have transformed the area. At times of good weather, with the big doors open, the Pine Shed is quite a nice spot to relax. Cocktails were the raison d'etre for the former incarnation of Dogwood and that emphasis transfers here to the Pine Shed. I particularly like their versions of a margarita but the other cocktails are uniformly good too. The beer tap offerings are not so spectacular, however, with only four (and a cider). On one visit shortly after they opened for business, two beer taps were tapped out, which can be chalked up to growing pains. In any case, the Pine Shed can't be seriously regarded as a tap house in the style of the many others in Bend (On Tap, River's Place, Crosscut, The Lot, The Podski, Midtown Yacht Club, etc.). Come for the cocktails. They do offer low ABV and zero ABV drinks. At present, the food truck choices are abundant and pretty decent. Being trucks/carts, and thus mobile and prone to relocating themselves, I'll not list them here. Best to check the Pine Shed's webpage for current offerings and then go to the relevant Yelp page for reviews. Parking is street only, no parking lot. The city has completed construction on 2nd Street so there are more spots available than before.

I ended up ordering an impressive amount of food, and by the time I hit my fifth large course, he joked that he'd have to pinch himself if I actually finished it. I couldn't help it--everything was that good. He also pointed me toward the owner, who clearly knows exactly what he's doing in the kitchen and carries himself with confidence and intention. Every aspect of this place felt immersive, like stepping into a classy, well-directed film. The atmosphere, the food, the service--it all came together seamlessly.

The menu isn't very large and I think we both settled on choices quickly, deciding to try the most "quintessential" entrees to share. I chose the Blackened Redfish, and my boyfriend the Jambalaya. Even though we had already decided, the waitress went on her whole spiel through the menu highlights, including what we had already had planned to order. Awkward, but it was fine, and we didn't stray from our original choices. The Blackened Redfish was perfectly cooked and flaky. It was served on a bed of mashed potatoes with a slightly tangy sauce. All of it was tasty, but I was a bit disappointed in the lack of spice to the blackening seasoning and the sauce. Also, serving it on grits instead of mashed potatoes would have made it feel 100% more Cajun, even with lack of seasoning. The Jambalaya fared a bit better, although my boyfriend was also left puzzled by the lack of spice to this classic dish. In all ways it was a very good representation of New Orleans style red jambalaya, with the andouille sausage being particularly notable for flavor. The cornbread it came with was pretty good. We shared a piece of chocolate cake for dessert. A very decadent concoction of chocolate, peanut butter, and caramel. It was one of the better $12 slices of cake I've had. Overall? The service was good, if not a bit awkward with the menu spiel. The food was all very well prepared, but for a Cajun style restaurant they sure could stand to spice things up a bit. It's not cheap, but at least the entrees are a full sized meal and you don't have to order many "tiny plates" to cobble together a dinner.

The red-headed bartender/server tried to walk away after taking our drink order and had to stop him from walking away to order food. There were no check-ins at the table, a hostess walked around once filling everyone's water but that was it (so we had empty water for about half the time we were there), I had to flag down the bartender by staring at him from across the bar to get his attention for a check, once I got the check he again tried to immediately walk off even though I had the card & wallet on the table and nearly immediately put it in the book, and in general he was not amiable. I actually asked my friend after the first interaction of 'do you think he's having a bad day or hates it here?'. Lastly, the oysters are listed as 'oysters' with no description but they are not normal oysters - they have green vinaigrette, some roe type orange topping, and personally weren't enjoyable. 2.5 for service and not listing ingredients. 3 because the brussel sprouts and drinks.
