Restaurants near Horse Ridge Natural Area

We had a terrific brunch at Drake, which was our first time in the Bend area. Seth was our server; he was very helpful and accommodating. A good stop to great some good food in Bend!

Interesting and very tasty dishes. A good selection of wine and a knowledgeable, professional, engaging server. We will definitely return to this unique restaurant again.

Our experience at Brickhouse was everything we hoped for and more. Our server, Sam, was friendly and knowledgeable. The pace of our drink and food delivery allowed us to relax without waiting too long or feeling rushed. My husband and I really enjoyed the freshness of the beet salad (which we split) and the perfectly balanced dressing. I ordered the chicken Marsala, a generous portion of two tender breasts over noodles. The sauce was yummy! My husband ordered the osso buco and loved every bite. We splurged on dessert and shared the hula pie, a decadent slice of fudge topped macadamia nut ice cream set on a cookie crust and garnished with fudge sauce and whipped cream. The Brickhouse is definitely among my favorite restaurants in Bend!

Place was a welcomed change to what’s here in Bend now. Staff was excellent! Waiter went beyond to assure a positive dinning experience. Menu was quirky but that is to be expected knowing who the owner is. Food was promptly delivered and well prepared. Taste was really good but very rich, entrees really something acidic to counter act the richness. Still, look forward to our next visit at this restaurant to further explore more of the menu. Also, almost forgot the manager took the pineapple upside down cake off the menu? Sitting at our table I heard over the course of the meal several tables around us trying to order this dish? One of the reasons I was looking forward to enjoying at the end of my dinner. Disappointing!

Perfect cocktails, not icky sweet. The French fries were really good and the steak salad was fresh with a tender cut of steak. They treated my celiac guest with respect so they felt safe to eat gluten free. Friendly and knowledgeable servers and bartenders.
