We can't say enough good things about this Westside restaurant. The drinks are off the hook (we usually take an Old Fashioned) and the eclectic menu is out of this world. Our favorite spot in Bend. Hands down.

Located Southwest of Bend, The highway starts on Century Drive, and travels 66 miles through towering peaks and dozens of Cascade lakes. Allow 3-5 hours for the drive with minor exploration, but the area abounds with fishing, hiking and sightseeing.
