The food is soooo good. The service is friendly. The drinks are great. Yhe filet mingon is flavorful and was cooked just right. The crab cakes were the best I have ever had — crunchy on the outside and full of moist crab meat on the inside. Just a great place.

A small restaurant with excellent service, food and ambience. Our wine choice was out of stock and our waiter generously offered a similar more expensive wine at the same price. Salmon, pasta and duck were delicious, as were the appetizers and dessert (creme brulee).

We really enjoyed our dinner. The food was delicious! I ordered a huckleberry cosmo, the pistachio-encrusted halibut, and the blackberry crème brûlée, all of which were outstanding. The service was attentive. We enjoyed our table near a window. We look forward to returning.

South Bend Bistro is always a great experience.. they accommodate our large (8ish) group when we are in Sunriver. and are also great for an intimate night. The menu has something for everyone, but the filet is my favorite. Their craft cocktails are wonderful, pick one off their menu if you can.

Two best things: First, the salmon entree is grilled, not at all smokey (like they serve at Jackalope) and Second, they offer a kid's menu with actual delicious meals for kids with healthy and mature tastes at a reasonable price and portion size: steak or grilled salmon with garlic mashed potatoes and asparagus -- or the usual kids fare: mac and cheese, etc. Also, they offer several yummy appetizers (first courses) and salads. It was all very yummy. For the four of us - two adults and two kids - the bill was $186 including two glasses of delicious Pinot Noir and a 20% tip.

Intimate dining experience. We sat inside, where it was cozy and fairly quiet. Top notch dishes: the fillet was perfectly cooked. The salmon was also delicious. The pineapple cake with caramel sauce was different from the usual dessert fare and delicious. Entree and appetizer presentation was beautiful. Service was terrific.

Food was delicious. We were disappointed in our waiter for not bringing a dessert for the birthday we went there to celebrate. I made sure to note the birthday on the reservation. We also made sure the waiter was aware of who the birthday person was and that she was celebrating her 88 birthday. We would of happily paid for the dessert. :(

The last time I ate here, it was magical! This time I felt like we were nearly forgotten. We saw our waiter only three times. Thank goodness for the rest of the helpful staff. My opinion? The restaurant looses quality and can’t keep up when the outdoor patio is open. The food was delicious, but it was overshadowed by the mediocre, cramped atmosphere and sad service. For the price, I will pick somewhere else for our next special night out.

This was our first time here for dinner. The service was impeccable. They made suggestions and allowed additions and changes that we asked for. We were a party of 4 including a 14 and 17 year old and to this day, they are both asking to go back. The Filet Mignon was cooked exactly how ordered and was served very hot. The kids Filet Mignon is 4 ounce and was perfect also. The cocktails are strong and made with creativity. The Cabernet was round and rich on the palate. Paired very well with the meal. We were satisfied after dinner, but we had to check out the desserts which were over the top. Sure, we spent some money - but it was worth every penny. We are all looking forward to returning to dinner once again it this cute little hidden bistro.

The service was excellent. The staff was attentive but not intrusive. The black Manhattan was delicious, the birthday girl said her martini was very good and the third in our party said the Pinot gris was very good as well. The Caesar salads were nothing special but fine. The entrees were excellent. One of us had the salmon and two of us had the rigatoni. We were too full for dessert, both a good and a sad thing. Overall, a lovely dining experience.
