   We celebrated my wife's birthday at the BBR-The Lodge Restaurant and enjoyed an incredible evening of dining. The ambience is amazing: The dining area is very comfortable with expansive windows showcasing one of the most beautiful views to be found anywhere. The service was amazing and our server went out of the way to make sure that we had everything we needed. And, of course, the food was delicious. The wine and bar menu offered a variety of very good choices. Dining here was the perfect choice for celebrating a birthday.

   All was outstanding with the following caveats. - Ambience was great with views super and wonderfully quiet noise level. However, this was mid-week in April and this degree of enjoyment is unlikely experienced during the busy season of July or August. - While tasty, the prime rib did not reach the level of tenderness that one should expect from a prime cut.

   The Lodge Restaurant at Black Butte is elegant, with simple lines and clean walls. Our server was lovely and attentive. The menu choices were spare and slightly different from what was available three years ago when we last dined there. We'll go back.

   Black Butte Ranch is a special place…one of Central Oregon’s hidden gems. The setting is secluded and gorgeous overlooking a small lake and the distant mountains. The restaurant is another gem, with a spacious elegant dining room featuring a large central fireplace, towering cielings and floor to ceiling windows. The menu is limited, offering one each of beef, chicken, fish, pork, pasta and vegetarian entrees. We enjoyed a pork shank, ribeye steak, Caesar salad, red curry soup and peach cobbler. Each dish was excellent, with complex and subtle flavors and beautiful presentation. The meat dishes were very tender, highly flavorful, and lean. The prices ranged from $35 to $47 and the quality made the prices an excellent value. The service was excellent. The ambience was romantic and subtle, with soft music and beautiful open architecture, a great location for a special meal or celebration.
