    NY Strip Steak
    Jason S.

    Bend, OR has its share of delicious fine dining restaurants and The Hook & Plow is no exception. While the food is on the high end side, the vibes were definitely more casual. We were greeted by the host and seated quickly. We started our meal with a delicious non-alcoholic drink and the Chef's Board: a charcuterie with an assortment of cured meats, rustic bread, and various spreads. That came out pretty quickly. Unfortunately, our main courses came out much, much later and lukewarm. Luckily, the food was good enough that it made up for the temperature. I had the NY strip steak. The steak and the Boursin mashed potatoes alone were very good. The pickled onions and chimichurri complemented the meat very well. The meal was supposed to include brussel sprouts but came with a grilled broccoli cauliflower assortment instead. My wife had the Scallop Risotto which was also a great recommendation from the server. In reality, The Hook & Plow deserved 3 1/2 stars but that's not an option on Yelp. It may have been an off night for the staff, so I will give them the benefit of doubt. We would be open to trying it again sometime in the future.

    Amazing fish in chips!!
    Paul R.

    Simply WOW!! The food is absolutely delicious! So much so, I don't think I'm experienced enough to review their food. But the layout of the restaurant is very inviting and relaxing. Upscale without feeling upscale. Perfect spot for our daughter's twenty fourth birthday! Thank you to our server Jenna!

    Good food and good service. Lots of options for meat eaters and vegetarians alike. Would recommend for a relaxing dinner with family.

    My partner and I went during Happy Hour on a Tuesday and it was so good! Walking in, it feels elevated and rustic. Very nice vibes. I loved the open windows on the other side of the room but the side we were on was nice and quiet. Food and drinks wrre incredible!! The chef's special bread and butter were really good and the appetizer board had such a good variety of items. The selection of wine was also great and I chose a Syrah! My partner had the Kentucky Buck, the Oaxacan Old Fashioned, and the Watermelon Julep and every one of them was so good! Our server was very nice and professional. I appreciated that she was knowlegable and checked in frequently. Definetly had great customer service! We had other wait staff check in on us as well and were also very friendly. While we were finishing up, I texted my family group chat that they needed to visit here ASAP!

    Carrot hummus dip
    Sharon H.

    We had such a wonderful dinner here. As soon as I walked in, I love the open bright, modern decor, and the servers and staff are all very friendly. They have the best happy hour food options. From the happy hour menu, we got the diverse scallops, chicken wings, and the Ahi Poke tostadas. Chicken wings came with delicious Sriracha sauce. The poke tostada was perfect with fresh tuna creamy sauce and a crisp tostada shell. It only comes with one so I would get multiple to share . From the dinner menu, we got the carrot hummus, which was so deliciously surprisingly amazing for being carrot based - it was one of my fave dishes of the night . Wish I could buy this hummus all the time ! The fresh catch of the day was a halibut. It was a good portion, perfectly cooked very tender, and we loved the unique twist of it coming on top of a crisp potato latke. Overall, great meal would come back for lunch or dinner anytime !

    Scallops and risotto
    Kasey G.

    Had a wonderful dinner last night in Bend with my family! The atmosphere is lovely, lots of windows with natural sunlight and the decorations & accents matching the nautical theme. The food was absolutely amazing, I think with our group we got to try a little of everything, which I'm grateful for. To start, for appetizers we had the house made bread and the peach and burrata salad, the small details really added to the food with the nuts on the salad and even the bread&butter was something special. Then for mains we tried the fish and chips, scallops paired with the risotto, and the crab cake paired with the carrots. I can honestly say everything was so good, the crab cake, scallops, and even fish and chips were some of the best we've had, and the sides of risotto and carrots are both a must try!! (My family said they were the best carrots they've had.) It was my mom's birthday and the staff and everything about the night was wonderful. Thank you Bradon and we can't wait to come back next time!

    This place is calm and serene inside with elegant decor. The service was excellent. The food was even better then we were hoping. The scallops, Oysters, fish tacos and steak sandwich were all delectable. Nice size portions and reasonable prices. We are not from around here and we had trouble finding this place at first. It is a bit tucked in across from an apartment building that is part of giant complex that had several bussinessess. The parking is challenging to find and it is a wildy busy parking lot because of construction, apartments and all the businesses. Highly reccomed this place for the yummy food and great service. They have a great week day happy hour too.

    What an unexpected delicious spot to enjoy and dinner! Loved the decor and vibe walking in. The restaurant is loud-but we were able to get a two top that is tucked away Our servers were so welcoming and quick! Started with martinis and. Peach Burrata Salad. Moves on to wine and a lamb burger and the lobster risotto Both solid choices-the lamb burger was a bit "saucy" and the bun fell apart due to the extra sauce. The risotto was very flavorful with large chinch's of lobster.

    Lobster risotto
    Amber A.

    Hidden in plain sight. Excellent service, quality meal! We've visited Hook&Plow several times now for a variety of reasons, girls night, happy hour, family in town, date night, etc. and have consistently had a great experience! The oysters are well shucked, the drinks are great and the menu changes to reflect the latest trends. We went last night and had the lobster risotto, steak, oysters and spicy margaritas. The food was excellent but the service is really what sets this place to five stars. We did have a slight hiccup with cook on one of our meals and not only did our server take the feedback with grace she proactively comped the item and made sure the replacement dish came out quick. Really a masterclass in customer service and something a lot of places are missing. Hook&Plow is somewhat hidden in the apartment complex but don't miss out. It is primarily a fish restaurant so also keep that in mind. Local tip, if you go to Viaggio before and grab a bottle there is no corkage charge.

    Salmon salad
    Shay L.

    I went to get the gluten free fish and chips but unfortunately it had been discontinued. I pivoted and got the salmon salad it was one of the best i have had. The crispy skin and charged veggies mixed with a yummy saffron balsamic was very unexpected and delicious. The staff is very nice and helpful. If i am ever back in bend i will definitely be back!!

    Vegetarian salmon?
    Kate T.

    Some of the best food we had in Bend, but very slow service. There appeared to be only one waiter for the entire restaurant, it was over an hour between being seated and getting our food. Also, the menu needs a review. How is a salmon salad vegetarian? Why is the bread not marked as vegetarian?

    Peach buratta salad with diver scallops.
    Tami W.

    Staff was very friendly. Love the open air concept and beautiful decor. Happy hour is throughout the bar and restaurant. Your choice of lemon, cucumber or plain water. Gluten free fish and chips were delicious. My peach and burrata salad with the addition of diver scallops was awesome! Many gluten free options on the menu. Nice place away from the usual touristy areas.

For breakfast the line was out the door with a 45 min wait just to order, and most of all the tables were empty. In other words, it makes no sense to have one register with all the tables they have. People are obviously eating fast then ordering your food. It's like have 1 waitress to take orders. They must either have waitresses or multiple registers to order. One order at a time and mist of them are large groups which makes it even harder to order.

You can also customize your meal as needed. To order, you stand in line like at a food court counter, but in a fancy way. While we were there, the line stretched to the door most of the time but it moves fast. This is the time you use to choose your bottle of wine, pick food, and browse the pastries on display. There were several places to sit indoors and out after placing the order. The kids hade the garlic bites (fried balls of bread with garlic and cheese...looked like doughnut holes!) and a pizza. They can add pepperoni to a cheese pizza for the particular children in your life. My husband and I shared a Cobb salad, no croutons to make it gf (the lemon dill dressing was AMAZING! Actually, this whole salad was very good). We also intended to share the NY strip with chimichurri. However, we didn't read that it comes with bread and a side salad (great!) and roasted vegetables in romesco sauce (also great!). My husband is allergic to nuts and so he couldn't eat any. That is not a complaint...all on us! The menu is clearly marked. But be aware if you have a nut allergy to specify that you can't have the romesco sauce. Or let the order taker know, as they are informed on modifications and whatnot. So he ate the salad and done pizza. I ate most of the steak and veggies. Everything tasted really good. The steak was a bit gristly. But the chimichurri was great. My absolute favorite thing was the elote cake with tajin buttercream. It was not a sweet cake. But it was heavenly. I should have grabbed another piece before we left. It was creative and salty and delicious and I still want it two days later. Service was great. Food is brought out as it's ready, not all at once. And the side salad and bread is brought before the main dish. The people were friendly and helpful. This was a great place and I would definitely go back.
