Our order came out quickly (we were one of the first people there at 11:30 and by the time we left, it was starting to get busy). My burger was excellent. I added fries (which I shared with my wife) as well as cheese and bacon. Could barely fit it in my mouth. Normally we would split, but since we were hiking, thought we wouldn't. I ate it all. Happily. My wife's grilled cheese was also excellent. Came with bacon and pesto as well as a significant amount of avocado. Oh, and, of course cheese. She loved it. We ate out on the back patio and sat in the sun. It was a beautiful day and a great start to our hike. Definitely recommend!

Ack. It's also a MAJOR pet peeve of mine to look at goods and not see anything priced. I don't care if it's expensive, but I'm not buying anything blindly. Heck no. I left. On the way out I did spot a menu with some prices: a kale salad or a hummus plate for $17. Glad I had my ice chest.

On our last morning in Sisters, we met up with friends for brunch at the Cottonwood Cafe. We were…read morelooking for a local breakfast spot before heading home, and Cottonwood hit the spot. The table was filled with breakfast favorites. We ordered hotcakes, eggs, bacon, potatoes, and huevos rancheros. A couple of morning cocktails also made an appearance, including Cottonwood's version of a Bloody Mary and a rum-infused mocha. The huevos rancheros had a bit more kick than expected, but it worked. Our server was fun and easy to chat with, which added to the relaxed feel of the morning. Nobody rushed us, and breakfast with friends is one of those things that shouldn't be rushed. Will we be back? Probably. Cottonwood Cafe feels like a place where locals and visitors can both feel at home, and it was a nice way to wrap up another great trip to Sisters.

After we sat down and started looking over the menu, our very friendly server came to take our order. Before she did, she apologized and told us she had some bad news--they were out of a few items. Unfortunately, it wasn't just a few things; it was almost the entire menu. They were out of bread, buns, and lettuce, along with several sandwiches, including the Reuben. She even asked if we wanted to stay given how many items were unavailable. I had been looking forward to their amazing smash burger, but since they were out of buns, that wasn't an option. Instead, I ordered a parfait bowl with a side of potatoes, and my mother ordered the buttermilk pancakes. This situation is unfortunate not only for the customers, but also for the servers, who are left trying to provide good service despite having so many menu items unavailable. Sadly, this experience was disappointing enough that we won't be returning.

They even serve their own food Thursday thru Sunday, burgers and fries. My husband and I opted for a berry cider and a drink called sunset reverie the first night. Yes we stayed in Sisters 2 nights and ended up coming here both nights. The sunset reverie was a great balance between sweet and sour with the lemon in it. My husband enjoyed his cider. We ordered a pizza from Boone Dog Pizza, and it was decent. The second night we had already eaten and just stopped by for drinks, but I wish I had tried their burger. I saw one go by, and it looked really good! I tried Hot Girl Summer drink the second night which had elderflower in it and gin, but I still preferred the Sunset Reverie. We enjoyed sitting outside with all the neat metal art in the yard, and service was good. You are expected to bus your own table, but the bartender was very knowledgeable about the house made syrups in the drinks, etc., and happily answered questions. This place is a great spot in such a small quaint town.

We enjoyed it the first time, but this visit really confirmed that it's one of our favorite places to eat when we're here. The lakeside setting is beautiful and relaxing, and the restaurant itself is much larger than it appears from the outside. Even when it's busy, it never feels crowded or rushed. Between the six of us, we ordered the chili verde, Mandarin chicken salad, Margherita pizza, BBR BLTA, cheeseburger, and turkey sandwich. Everyone genuinely enjoyed their meal. In fact, there wasn't a single dish that drew anything less than an enthusiastic thumbs up from around the table. One thing I like about Lakeside Bistro is that it's more than just a restaurant. There's a small market and gift shop connected to the dining area, so it's fun to wander around a bit before heading out. They also serve espresso drinks, which made for a nice pick-me-up for the drive back. Will we be back? Without question. Good food, good friends, and a beautiful view over the lake is a winning combination.

There are tons of drink options (in the fridges) and a full bar. The view by the water is fantastic. We ordered a few large pizzas for the kids which were all completely eaten. The adults got a few different entrees and enjoyed them all. The Italian grinder with tots was really good. My friend who ordered the ribs loved them. The mac-n-cheese was good too. The only downside is that you are paying for the convenience of the location. Our bill got high pretty quickly and we also ordered a few bottles of wine as well. Overall would recommend having a meal here while you stay in the area. The view is awesome and the staff were very helpful and nice. We also ordered over a dozen drinks during the day from the outside window while at the pool and all the drinks were good. We also ordered a few pizzas pool side for the kids too.

Somewhere, I read you had a "view" to the water. As you can see from the picture, it's a view (sort of) to Foster Reservoir. OK. However, the food and service were surprisingly good! I ordered the special of the day, a Chipotle Burger. Cooked perfectly with 1/3 lb local beef patty, bacon, chipotle sauce, lettuce, red onion and accompanied by some very good fries. My wife had the grilled cheese and it was awesome as well. Her only complaint was it had too much bacon. Yes, you heard that right, too much bacon. I also have been trying NA beers and the only brand I have found I like is Deschutes out of Bend. They had a Golden that I hadn't heard of and it was, in true Deschutes fashion, very good. Our server was Becky and she was amazing. She greets the regulars by name, was very helpful and informative, but not too chatty. If we were in this area again, we would definitely go back.
