Merenda is a great place to visit in Bend Oregon. Not known for it's service, the cusine of Chef Jody Denton is experimental and explosive with big bold flavors. The menu changes daily depending upon the availability of fresh ingredients, so always ask for the servers recommendations. Merenda has one of the most extensive wine lists I have seen in Oregon. Truely a great experience.
Pros: the Wine list, fresh ingredients, decor
Cons: The servers in Bend Oregon, not necessarily the restaurant's fault.
