    This restaurant has a great backyard garden area that is delightful. We had a lovely birthday dinner there last night. My prawns were really good, the duck confit was great and the steak au poivre was good, not great. The downside was the new potato and snow pea salad.... very little potato and stringy snow peas which was disappointing. The service from Mark was okay, room for improvement but good enough. We brought our own birthday cake which came with a $25 charge which is understandable/fair but when it came time to light the candles our waiter brought us a lighter that didn't work and left us to our own devices. Like I said, room for improvement there. The bread presentation was excellent as were the dishes so extra points for that to the chef. Ita worth it just to sit in the garden area which is unique in Bend.

    Great food and ambiance. My steak was overcooked but they got a new one out very quickly and were very nice about it. The duck is incredible and the garden seating is the best in town.

    We must say that our recent dining experience exceeded our expectations in such a positive way. We have considered Jackalope as the “go to” special occasion establishment for fine dining. This was our first time dining outside in the atria and would recommend this , weather permitting. The entrees were fantastic, shrimp with polenta and king salmon with risotto! Excellent service by the entire staff.

    The Jackalope back patio is for certain the most beautiful dining environment in Bend summer. Worth a visit alone, but the food is also among Bend’s top spots.

    The service was excellent and the inside dining room was moody without being gloomy. The terrace dining is also excellent, weather permitting. The food is artfully presented and is consistently delicious. We had salmon cakes, duck confite, and encrusted lamb chops. The lamb chops were served with morel risotto and broccoli. When we visit Bend we always dine at the Jackalope Grill!

    Good food, excellent service, but soooo loud its hard to converse with cross table diners. Wish they had more sound deadening. Loudest experience we have had here. We will go again earlier in the evening.
    The Jackalope GrillResponded on June 15, 2025
    Hi there, Thank you so much for your kind words about the food and service—we truly appreciate it! I wanted to let you know that the unusually high noise level during your visit was due to a large group originally scheduled for our outdoor courtyard. Unfortunately, unexpected weather required us to move them indoors at the last minute. This is not our typical dining atmosphere, and we completely understand how it impacted your experience. We’re glad to hear you’ll be joining us again, and we look forward to welcoming you back soon! Warmly, Laura Bliss Owner, The Jackalope Grill

    Wonderful service, delicious wine and food. The cost was a bit high for what you got, though, so this is a special occasion restaurant for me.
