Normally that's not a problem but we were traveling so didn't get to take all that delicious food back home with us. Funnily enough I overheard the manager speaking to another couple and mentioning you can order half size portions which is pretty convenient. Food was tasty! Service was decent (felt like the waitress said "perfect" one too many times and also asked us on 3 different occasions where we were from). Outside of that we'd definitely come back to try some of the other items on the menu. The bakery looked tempting as well!

I realize now I should have asked for a side of the berry sauce so each bite was more saucy. And I added a side of chicken sausage for blood sugar stabilization. It came with I think hollandaise? I enjoyed dipping that.

Then we met a couple and they highly recommended the restaurant too. This morning we rode our bikes there and enjoyed a lovely brunch. The host and server were both friendly and efficient. The other meals being served around us looked delicious. It did take a bit to get our food. We each ordered different frittatas that were equally delicious. Presentation on the plate was eye candy and enticing the tastebuds. The theme is present throughout the restaurant, even in the restrooms. There is a nice vibe. Depending on how many diners are inside and their volume level, it can get a bit loud. Overall, we had a nice experience.

Five stars for Roam! It is one of the few restaurants in Bend that actually takes reservations, and…read morebooking through OpenTable was incredibly easy. This visit was extra special because we were taking our new granddaughter, Freya, to her very first restaurant at just six days old. We were seated quickly and comfortably, and our waitress could not have been sweeter. She even gave Freya a stuffed animal, which absolutely melted this proud grandpa's heart. Freya slept through most of the experience and left us to handle the eating, so I had the elk sausage hash, or whatever delicious masterpiece they call it. The eggs were cooked perfectly, the flavors were outstanding, and the chefs deserve a huge compliment because the food here is consistently exceptional. Do not make the mistake of dismissing Roam as just another hotel restaurant. The service is always excellent, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, the food is wonderful, and the prices are very reasonable. Roam gave our granddaughter a beautiful first dining experience, even if she was limited to the milk. We will definitely be back!

A staff member said they would be back. It was a long while before anyone came back and seated us. They were not busy with diners yet. There were 6 tables. We were seated and ordered coffee. The coffee was good and the server kept the coffee and 1/2 and 1/2 coming. We both ordered the Smoked Salmon Eggs Bennie for $27 a plate. It took over an hour to get our food. Other folks got their food way more quickly. We are not sure what was up with our food and why it took over an hr for it to come out. We also did not have silverware and had to request it when the food came. For the prices of this place they need to get it together. This place is $$$ spendy for brunch. $27.00 for eggs Bennie and they were pretty stingy with the hollandaise sauce. It was nothing spectacular. The eggs Bennie were decent and the potatoes were tasty. They took 25% off of our meals for our wait and gave us free coffee. As a former server, there is no way I would I make chill diners who did not complain or get mad pay for 75% of their meals after they waited over an hour for their food. This experience does not make me want to come back.

She was accommodating and really knew the menu so well. They have a special deviled egg each week and this week was a balsamic reduction and sun dried tomatoes. It was delicious! Great texture on the filling. Paired perfectly with the picketed red onion. 8.5/10 The clam chowder is some of the best clam chowder I've ever had, hands down. It's packed with so many clams and potatoes! Great depth of flavor. Perfectly creamy. It was just the cup of soup I needed on a cold day. 9/10 The PNW elk burger was not my favorite item I've ever had. Not pictured is a Marion Berry jam under the patty, and that jam was very very saucy, it ran all over the plate and soaked through the bottom bun too much to the point where the bun became mushy and fell apartment. It was too overwhelmingly sweet, I couldn't even really taste the elk. I think if it had everything else minus that jam, it could be a very successful dish. Their food is still really good, just this dish was not it for me. The restaurant is casual, and they have a bar section as well. They've got breakfast all day and they've got a great selection of beers and drinks. I would definitely come back here!! It really feels so welcoming there. It's one of those places you could really enjoy having a few friends get together.

The pancakes were light and fluffy and they brought over 3 types of syrups a honey, lemon and the maple syrup. I had the lemon and it was very good and the flavor of the lemon was great with no tangy taste. The thick bacon was very good and tasty and not overly salty, My wife had the waffle and she enjoyed it with the maple syrup.

The counter area features baked goods. Service was friendly and efficient, you can order things to go at the counter otherwise you sit down and get table service. Came here with Daughter for breakfast. We both ordered the farmhouse waffle plate ($19). The plates are a little small and awkward to be honest, but ours came with two eggs, bacon, one waffle and a side of Housemade chutney and maple syrup. Omg the chutney was amazing! A mix of sweet and savory went well with the eggs. The waffle was light and crispy, the four pieces of bacon were crispy. Daughter was still hungry after her breakfast so maybe ordering a side of potatoes would bode well. Would come back here again, curious to try the evening restaurant.

Bad news. Good news…read more Bad news first is this: The Drake has been sold to new owners and TONIGHT, APRIL 12, WILL BE THE LAST DAY OF SERVICE at The Drake with the original owner and the current menu. So if you're hankering for the mac n cheese or shrimp n grits or veg burger or any of the menu items, after today they are history. I started eating at The Drake in their first week of business and had many, many, many meals there over the years but things change and so, it seems, has the popularity of The Drake. Now the good news. The new owners are a trio and one of them is also one of the owners of the inestimable Ken's Artisan Pizza in Portland that opened its' Bend location last year. (Go! Even if you have to stand in line for 45 minutes like I did.) The first news of this ownership change was that they would keep the name and current focus of The Drake. But local television news reports that after The Drake closes today it will be reimagined with a new name and design and menu. The opening for the new place is currently said to be Memorial Day weekend. I don't live in Bend anymore but there is still a family home there and so I visit on occasion and knowing a "Ken's" owner is involved in the new enterprise may make me brave the wicked-bad downtown parking to try this new place. In the meantime, I remember how fun and delicious it could be to eat at The Drake.
