    Blackened NY steak
    Robin S.

    The Phoenix was recommended as a good place for a steak that won't hurt your wallet (much). And it offers quite a lot of options for those who don't eat meat. We had a table for three reserved for 6 on a weeknight and while we were seated almost immediately, the restaurant was quite busy. - Blackened NY steak: Nicely blackened, not 'melt in your mouth' but very good. It's not a huge cut. Maybe Blacksmith, Brickhouse, Bos Taurus or Kayo's might offer a marginally better steak but they also charge more. - Salmon piccata: excellent rendition of salmon. - 'Chefs' vegetable side: a bit disappointing, actually. Green beans needed a little further cooking and the carrots & broccoli were bland. Needs seasoning and maybe another choice of vegetables. I think the chef phoned this one in. - Baked potato: perfectly cooked. Love the all-booth seating in the dining room. A bit loud in the restaurant. Music is unnecessary. Great service. Tap list is pretty extensive for a restaurant. I like that they have details on each beer on the back of the menu. Speaking of, why do restaurants only give a table of three one drink menu? Never understood that. I'll try to peel myself away from the brewpubs in town and visit occasionally.

    Chicken Piccata - 10 out of 10
    Chris C.

    A group of four of us came on a Saturday and sat I. The bar. We ordered the Buffalo Wings, Taco Salad and the Chicken Piccata. Everything was delicious and the service was great. Each of us ordered a Long Island and although they weren't super tasty, they were strong and worth the purchase. We had eaten all over Bend and this was the best food experience this far. Good job Phoenix!!

    My keto burger.  $21 with tip.

The bar looked gorgeous and I would definetly like to sit there next time for the vibes. I also loved that they provided self-serve boxes, napkins, and utensils but still had a sign asking patrons to be concious of how much they're using. The overall flow between ordering, self serve, and dining was super efficient and nice! Can't wait to come here again!

The Experience: I visited Toasty while I was on vacation in Bend and loved having so many options at one spot as a vegan. What stood out: Service: The woman taking orders was attentive with answering our questions and making recommendations. Our two crunchwraps took around 25 minutes before our buzzer rang and we went to pick it up. Product/Food: I ordered the buffalo chik'n crunchwrap and my boyfriend ordered the nacho cheeze crunchwrap. As someone who despises eating lettuce, the way the cold and warm ingredients are intentionally layered throughout the crunchwrap is beyond delicious. I ate my crunchwrap within minutes of it being hitting the table. The tortilla was perfectly flaky, the homemade ranch was an amazing texture, and the chick'n was seasoned to perfection. Ambiance: Toasty is a small food trunk in the Podski food truck pod complex. It is incredibly busy and it can be difficult to find a seat. However, it is fun and lively with some great people watching opportunities once you are seated. Toasty will continue to be our favorite spot to eat at in Bend!

Lunch for two, including tip, was around $45 to $50. This seems to be the going rate in Bend for a good lunch for two. For a casual lunch, I would certainly recommend Bend-O Bento. I'd be happy to return and try some of their other menu items.

I was seated quickly at a small table near the front of the restaurant by a friendly host. The restaurant itself is so fun and quirky, with colorful decor and roses covering the ceiling. It has such a cheerful, playful atmosphere that immediately puts you in a good mood. A cheerful waitress came over shortly after to take my order. I ordered the Butterflies--wontons filled with Dungeness crab, garlic, cream cheese, and green onions, served with a sweet chili dipping sauce--and the Curry Basil Noodles. Everything was absolutely delicious, and the portions were incredibly generous. Despite having a couple of large parties in the restaurant, I didn't feel like I waited long for my food. I had plenty of leftovers to enjoy later, which is always a bonus! I would definitely recommend this place and hope to enjoy another meal here the next time I'm in town.

As a major Thai food fan having eaten in Thailand, specifically Chiang Mai several times, I was eager to try the Northern Thai spot. We had spent the whole day hiking and were excited to grub. The only redeeming factor was that there's no wait (which should be a red flag more than anything). We got the vegetarian papaya salad, tom kha, and curry noodles. Service started off great with waters and quick attention. However, the food was beyond disappointing. The papaya salad was artificially sweetened, with some odd sweet syrup poured over the combination of papaya and one sole tomato slice. No citrus or spice could be tasted. The tom kha was also not well made, with it being sweet more than anything and the tofu tasting like it has been cut up and tossed in the soup 1 minute before service. The curry noodles started off strong with a nice spice level with tofu well cooked but then chunks of the curry powder with heavy turmeric were not cooked in so landed heavy in the mouth. The combination of the three dishes as one would expect was disappointing. Dishes seemed to be rushed out of the kitchen before ending service for the night. I think unfortunately the service was the most disappointing. Had they been slightly more understanding I would have not been inclined to leave this review. However, there was instant dismissal of our disappointment with our food with an assumption that we just didn't want to pay for the meal, which was far from the truth. Would definitely not return here and would not recommend this restaurant. I am saddened to hear that this is touted as one of the better Thai restaurants in Bend. If only fellow travelers and the great people of Bend knew.

Okay, we order. 10 minutes later, they say sorry we are out of orange juice. We did not order orange juice. They say they do have chocolate milk, which we did order. Glass (like, adult glass) comes for my kid and the guy explains they are out of chocolate milk so they mixed cold milk with hot cocoa powder. Looks chunky. He apologizes and says he needs to go across the street to get orange juice and chocolate milk so we can wait if we want. We don't. We just want to eat and leave. I order iced coffee (on the menu), they only have canned cold brew. Not ideal but fine. Burger (something I could honestly make at home) comes with dry breakfast potatoes. The flattest pancakes I've ever seen, complete with black grease marks from the griddle. I appreciate that the patio was nice and there was a water bowl for our dog but there were so many rookie mistakes that it felt like a restaurant that just opened last week and we're working out kinks. I'm actually annoyed at the 5-star reviews because there's no way they are at the same place we did.
