Customer Reviews

"The drink menu is fresh and exciting. Great selection of whiskies (both whiskey and whisky). The appetizers were fun. The bread pudding is a YES!"

- Greg E.

"The first time I visited, it was love at first sight. It is the best place in Bend to have a good time. The food is excellent but something happened. The food has been different. The first time I ordered pizza, the size was bigger than the plate. My son was not able to finish it. Now, it is smaller and barely covers the surface of the plate. It is still my favorite place and I will return a thousand times."

- Gerardo P.

"Very friendly service with evening live performances. Food is not bad but nothing special - the steak bites were a bit too well done for my liking."

- Rovik R.
