The Place to be in Bend - Just To Be, Not to Eat 9/29/2005

I think all the other reviews captured what I want to say. The place is big, loud, and pretentious. The service was very poor for us, the food was overpriced, and we look forward to going back again this weekend. Do a double take - it's true. We just know now when and why to go there. It's not romantic at all - too crowded, too big, and too loud. However, it's loud for a reason - everyone is there! The wine list is great, especially the by-the-glass wine list, the food is inventive and interesting if overpriced, and it's just a great ambience to sit at the bar during happy hour or at late night. We'll be going elsewhere to eat then hang at the wine bar afterward. This is a great idea for Bend and I'm happy they did it. Pros: Creative Menu, Great Wine List, Great Location Cons: Loud, Expensive, Bad Service more
