Between the exceptionally good food at Hook and Plow, a most pleasant hotel experience, and a memorable trip to the High Desert Museum; our trip to Bend turned out to be a pleasure instead of the miserableness I expected. We had the Steak Tartare, the Chef's Board, the Blackend Crabcake, the Pear and Burrata Salad, and the Bone-in Pork Chop. We each got the cheesecake for desert and split the other dishes. This was more than enough for the three of us and we left full, happy, and with three large to-go boxes. The flavors of the various dishes were amazing. While all the dishes were vvery good, the standouts to me were the steak Tartare, the Pear and Burrata Salad, and the Cheesecake.

It was incredibly dry without any sauce, served with roasted potatoes (instead of mashed as advertised), and came with a little salad... there was no dressing on the salad, so it was really of no added value on the plate. I really wanted to like this place, but even the service is just a little "off" from my expectations. I sat for over 10 minutes with no contact from a server. No water. And the place had no air conditioning on a day that was 80 degrees. I don't think I'll give this place a third try, but I hope they can fix the problems. I like their concept and location.

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.

I'm still a fan of supporting local culinary training schools, like Elevation. But it is also fair…read moreto say that since Elevation has raised their dinner prices in the last 18 months from $19 to $21 to $23 and now to $30, one might fairly expect more for both food quality and service at that price than was delivered in our last two experiences here. Last term we had under seasoned food on some dishes, served undercooked on others, and warm instead of hot on still others. Elevation has now also changed their lunch service to a la carte ordering from the small lunch menu. A nice change but ordering that way with shared small plate to start, two just so-so entrees and two soft beverages brought my friend's and my lunch tab above $40. Service for this meal, while friendly, was lackluster and the food just OK. I realize this is a teaching school, so is CIA in Hyde Park and the SF culinary academy and the myriad of other schools, from big names to community college based where I've enjoyed meals over the years. I expect neither food nor service to be perfect at culinary school dining rooms and that is part of the fun, being guinea pigs for the students. But now for $30 prix fixe at dinner and the prices at lunch (fish tacos = $14, burger = $15) I expect both to be better than they have been during the last three meals at Elevation. In fact, after dropping $150, with wine before tip, for four people at dinner most recently our out of town friends commented that they probably wouldn't consider this as a dining destination next time they were in Bend given the cost for just OK food in that meal and learning curve service. We'd agree were we visitors, we might think twice before spending $60 / couple for the food alone. As residents we'll continue to go once a quarter, as opposed to twice as we did before, to support the students. But with the myriad of other dining options in Bend at this price point, it's fair to have higher expectations. Were this any other table service restaurant that raised menu prices by 33% in less than two years, diners would have fair expectations of elevated (no pun intended) return for the price increase. THIS N THAT: 1) Lunch menu used to mirror dinner menu but lunch is now an entirely different menu. Nice change. But you can also end up dropping $30 at lunch. Mains (for example, burgers and cobb type salad) are in the $14 - $15 range, add $5 if you have dessert and another $8 if you also pick from the starter menu and the total can quicikly approach that $30 mark. (lunch menu: http://elevationbend.com/menu/lunch-menu/) 2) Summer term means outdoor dining is available for lunch and dinner.

I hate being the first patron inside an establishment, and we arrived promptly at opening; however, it didn't take long before other customers starting taking seats - both inside to watch the World Cup and outside on their patio.

The food was absolutely dynamite! It's exactly what you want out of bar food - warm, comforting, and so delicious. Food paired well with our flights and although we couldn't customize them, I appreciated that I helped us explore a lot of the menu. We ended up leaving with two many 4- and 6-packs.

Also ordered a Cobb salad, sides of both their fries, and a side of their take on Hawaiian mac-salad. Cons- all three (BIL, husband, and son) all felt the Fillys should have been on a roll versus a pita (some kind of wrap, if it wasn't a pita). They felt the wrap was getting too fancy, and why change something that doesn't necessarily need to change. Overall though, they each enjoyed the flavors of their respective Filly. And my burger really was tasty! The restaurant is also in a shopping plaza with plenty of parking, so that was also a nice perk!
