Happy New Year! This is the perfect place to come for New Years dinner. All you can eat crab!…read more You can bring your own bottle (for a corkage of $12) we had spaghetti, garlic bread, salad, potatoes, mac n cheese and my very fave CRAB!!! Dungeness to be exact. Oh yes and different tartlets for dessert. But really why would waste your time, just have crab for desert too, at least that's what we did and I suggest you do the same. Warm butter, garlic bread and crab has always been my favorite with a little squeeze of lemon.

We went to Bend, Oregon to have a brunch at Currents which is located in the River house lodge…read more The set up is really nice and the view outside along the river, they also had live music playing while we had our lunch. I had the smoked beef brisket hash, because the special of the day they sold out. The smoked beef brisket hash was okay, I was expecting a smoked flavor, but didn't seem to have it. My wife had the soup & salad combo and she enjoyed the hardy soup with the flavor and the salad was a Caesar which was fresh and crispy and tasty. Our son in law enjoyed his tuna melt and Caesar salad very much and cleaned everything that was on his plate. Our daughter had the cheese fondue with bread chucks, but hardly touched it. We also shared the baked bread with virgin olive oil and balsamic vinaigrette which was very very good. Also we shared the vegetable platter with 2 different types of humus which also was very tasty and delicious. And we also shared the fried green tomatoes with a buffet type of sauce and it went really well. If you like a nice relaxing and scenic place to enjoy and relax and have a good meal, you should try currents. The restroom is clean and well maintained and the restaurant area was clean. The staff was nice and service was good.

Unfortunately this was a miss all the way around. I'm not giving it 1 star because of the beautiful…read moresetting on the river but food and service were both very poor experiences. Food took an hour and a half to arrive and in that time our server came by once to refill drinks and water. The restaurant was about 50% full but she just disappeared. We weren't sure what took the kitchen so long either as we were never given an explanation or apology. Once the food arrived we received overcooked scrambled eggs and cold dishes. My hash was tepid but my friend's gravy had been sitting so long it became gummy. It had taken us so long to receive our food, we were hungry, and we were needing to get back on the road home that we didn't complain. Management should be utterly ashamed of themselves, particularly the GM (our group was full of food service folks including a fellow GM and they were all appalled). Never again. This place is not cheap and subpar doesn't even begin to describe the complete and total lack of food quality and service one receives. I don't usually like to leave reviews like this but this was maybe the worst breakfast I've ever had. Save your money and time and avoid.

We celebrated our anniversary at Rosemary and Fox and had the very best experience. First of all…read morethey gave us a table in our own private space. Our server was Teddy who is also the bartender. He was fabulous.......great personality, smile and service. Thank you Teddy for helping to make our special dinner that more special. Our meal was also outstanding: the Bread and Butter first course wasn't just bread.........Also the Brie and Truffle.......the best ever. After those two apps we decided to share the pasta which was also quite good. So full we declined desert......but they brought an ice cream with a candle. All in all.......an anniversary to remember.

Blacksmith is definitely one of the busiest restaurants in Bend, so I highly recommend making a…read morereservation! We didn't have one and ended up waiting a little over an hour for a table. 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!

Let me start with the wow factor, Service! Incredible…read moregenuine service, it felt like the staff put our experience as the top priority. 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 an awkward start..we came through the patio and they told us to see the hostess to get seats…read more..okay..sounds good. But when I walked inside nobody was there and the restaurant was empty. 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.

A++ across the board, from the ambiance to the food to the service -- our waiter (Steve, I believe)…read morewas particularly amazing and actually made the food taste better with his highly-informed discusions of it. I'd avoided this place somewhat because the menu looks non-traditional and a bit scary. If you feel that way, get past it. The things at the very top are effectively amuses bouches, not even starters. Then below that you have shared starters (pork collar lettuce wraps amazing!) , then salad/soup if you want (the gazpacho was simply amazing and Steve's description made it even better). The bread, oh my god, the bread. Some Spanish or Portguese flat fried round bread with tallow on it -- you don't need the butter, trust me. In fact, perversely, that was the only issue with the meal. We ate too much bread. Next time, I'd eat half a roll each and bring the rest home. The steaks were simply superb, the crust amazing, the cooking temperatures perfect. I used both Steve and ChatGPT to help me pick mine (the Eye of Rib). The hangar, the bavette, and even the filet (not my fav) were all great as well. But I liked my pick the best. No room for dessert, none whatsoever, but they gave us a free madeline which was yummy as well. A++, best restaurant in Bend, can't believe how long it too me to come here. Don't fear the menu, it's not that complicated and the server will make it easy when they explain it to you.

Bos Taurus is a super swanky restaurant in downtown Bend. We walked in without a reservation, which…read morefelt like a mistake, but the host was very accommodating and offered us a lightning speed round at the bar, which was also reserved for later. We had 45 mins to enjoy a quick happy hour, and we ordered a half dozen oysters, the ceviche, and a strawberry margarita. Everything came out fast, and I was very impressed with the oysters and pink peppercorn mignonette. I was less impressed with the tab, which was almost $80. This spot is high end for a reason! Come prepared to drop a bag. We spent more here than at dinner nearby, surprisingly. Bos Taurus offers an elevated dining experience that should be reserved for special occasions every blue moon; however, I appreciated the hospitality to enjoy a quick bite.

The Hudson was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. The service was impeccable, from the…read morehostess desk all the way through payment, and the ambiance made the whole evening feel special. The food was just as memorable. As someone who loves Yorkshire pudding, I was delighted to see popovers served as the bread course, especially with the delicious garlic butter. The scallops crudo had the most amazing sauce, and the English pea soup was one of the most beautifully presented dishes I've had. It was so good I honestly wanted to drink it straight from the bowl. My A5 wagyu was cooked to perfection, and every detail of the meal felt thoughtful and elevated. I dined with a friend, and we both loved the experience. The Hudson is a gem in Bend, and I can't wait to come back.

We were so excited to try this place coming off a Vegas foodie trip last weekend. I was hoping to…read morekeep the good food trip rolling but was quite disappointed. The place is really nice, decorated great. I can't rate the cocktails because we skipped them tonight. But the food was such a bummer. Here is what we had... - crab claws. Super watery as if they've been bathing in ice water (not sitting on ice). - Cabbage Savoy. I love cabbage and this read so well on the menu but had some very strange flavor to it. We barely touched it beyond a couple bites to make sure we didn't like it. - asparagus. Would've been perfect if simplified with some salt and pepper and citrus. It was lathered with some creamy green sauce we didn't care for so yet another dish with just a couple bites out of it. - wagyu hanger steak. Not much flavor. Had to send back to get the cook the right temp. Very unevenly cooked upon return. We ate most of it. We ordered the chimi- verde sauce but it was basically olive oil. Black cod. It was ok, nothing special, no good sear or grill on the fish. No punch of flavor like you'd expect from a good cod. Unagi fried rice. This was the only dish we agreed we liked enough and it still had an interesting flavor, like mint. Kung Pao Brassicas. This was OK but again had interesting flavors (not kung poa) that were turning us away. Our server was super sweet but not very attentive, I think she perhaps was new to the industry. For example she didn't think to ask about two uneaten side dishes and if there was an issue. I think overall our tastes differ from the chef so this could've been amazing to them and others but unfortunately not for us. It wasn't cheap so a costly lesson for us but, when trying new spots that's the price you have to pay sometimes.

It's a fun, western themed steakhouse. Yes, it's a little gimmicky but also well executed and even…read morecharming. I really liked the ambiance here and it was perfect for a fun birthday celebration. Huge space so lots of room for big parties - there's a separate room but also large tents with tables. We got the special tasting board and I would highly recommend that as it came with three different cuts. It also comes with every sauce and they were all spectacular. We also ordered the pork belly and bone marrow as apps; each were very good especially the bone marrow. Service was spot on and their cocktails are good too.

I was really disappointed with my experience at Hawkeye & Huckleberry. The food itself was…read moreunderwhelming. I ordered the pork belly for $24 and received four pieces with fruit. Unfortunately, the pork belly was dry and chewy rather than tender, and I didn't find the dish particularly flavorful or enjoyable for the price. Service also felt disorganized, but my biggest concern was cleanliness. While sitting at the bar, I had flies landing on and around my food, which I photographed. That immediately raised sanitation concerns and made it difficult to enjoy the rest of my meal. I had expected a much more polished experience from a restaurant associated with Chef Brian Malarkey. Between the food quality, service, value, and cleanliness issue, this visit fell well short of my expectations. I don't plan to return, and the sanitation issue was concerning enough that I intend to report it to the appropriate health department.
