    A small intimate restaurant serving amazing food! It's all in the small details. For example just the bread to start out with. I'm actually not going to go into details because I think it's better to be surprised. Usually I wouldn't say that but trust me just try Bos Taurus cause it's a wonderful dining experience. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great service, food and ambiance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    One of my favorite places in Bend. Their food is incredible with great complexity and the wagyu melts in your mouth. Drinks and wine are fantastic, waiters/staff are always friendly and knowledgeable, and [[HIGHLIGHT]]vibe is great.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Highly recommend this restaurant.

    Had an incredible dinner to celebrate a special occasion this evening. Sarah was incredible and created a classy, personalized, first class experience unlike any other dining experience in Bend. Thanks for the amazing food and for making BT the best restaurant in Bend!

    Valentine's Day Negroni

    If you're looking for a steak experience that borders on a religious experience, Bos Taurus is the place to be. My husband and I celebrated Valentine's Day here, and let's just say--it was love at first bite. We started with classic cocktails (because what's romance without a little old-school charm?) and fresh oysters that tasted like they were personally escorted from the ocean to our table. But the real star of the night? The A5 Wagyu tasting menu--a parade of rich, buttery, melt-in-your-mouth perfection, paired with their "experiences" (a fancy way of saying sauces and spices, but trust me, they are an experience). [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is small and packed, but instead of feeling cramped, it had a buzzing, lively atmosphere--like you're at the coolest dinner party in town.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were also fascinated by the off-menu choices (a secret menu? Intriguing...), and next time, we're diving into those. Shoutout to our server, who was as friendly as they come, and our waiter, who patiently answered every one of our many, many steak-related questions. He might as well have a PhD in Wagyu. Final verdict: Bos Taurus is a must-visit for steak lovers and food adventurers alike. We came for the steak, stayed for the experience, and left already planning our next visit. Just be warned--you might fall in love, and not just with your date.

    Bos salad. The bits of pork belly was nice. The hard dried tomatoes were not good and vinegar in the blue cheese dressing was off putting.
    Julianna S.

    Great service! So that gets 5 stars. [[HIGHLIGHT]]But comfort level is low, quality of good did not meet expectations and prepare to spend a LOT of money.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered the $120 Bos A-5 steak sampling, the Bos wedge salad and a glass of wine. It was $180.00. Now that's fine and even expected but I was disappointed that there was gristle in the A5, the salad was overly vinegar'ed and the seating was not comfortable at the bar. But, service covers a multitude of sins, so I may try again - but not enthusiastically.

    Excellent establishment. Top tier steak options and nothing to complain about. Looking for a date night out or some really good steak, this is your best choice in bend. Service was top notch. Explaining the details of each and every steak.

    Wagyu Tasting
    Richard R.

    I was finally able to get a table with my best friend from the first grade. Our wives were back home and we decided to celebrate my "almost" birthday and the sale of his family business. My friend is a regular at Bos Taurus so I let him lead the way. We started with cocktails and later had the Hama Hama oysters followed by a Compressed Caesar for my friend and a Bos Wedge for myself. We also had a special treat called the Wagyu Tasting that had three one ounce portions of perfectly marbled beef accompanied by three pairing sauces. For our entrees I ordered the 8oz filet and my friend had the 16oz ribeye. We also shared the Yukon Gold Potato Puree and Sauteed Rapini & Spinach for our side dishes. A nice touch that they have at Bos Taurus is you get to select your choice of steak knives from around the world representing the U.S., France and Japan. Since we were celebrating we had a bottle of the Chateau Leoville Barton Saint-Julien 2008 to enjoy with our steak and sides. It was a dinner to remember. All of our selections were perfectly paced and the food was magnificent. Service was excellent and they have a full time sommelier to assist you with your wine selections. Cost for dinner for two people when you are celebrating 50 years of friendship? Priceless. Thank you for dinner my friend.

    Had to try both A5 options side by side. Well worth it
    Sean P.

    Amazing service and food. The steak as always is amazing. We did the A5 options side by side to compare.

    Ask the Community - Bos Taurus

    May we bring in a bottle of wine and if so what the bottle fee would be, please?

    Yes, we have brought wine in a couple of times, I believe the corkage fee was $25.00

    So, there a 2 oz minimum for the A5. That that mean I can actually just order 2 oz? Also, is everything served family style? My wife and I find family style easier to share versus eating off each other's plates?

    Yes, you can order just the 2 oz. if you choose.

    Is there a dress code?

    Nothing specific. Just keep in mind the price point of their menu and dress accordingly. I would not go in with shorts, flip-flops and a ratty blouse. But it's not like a tie and sport coat are necessary either.

    Do you have any vegetarian options? As my party would be all meat eaters, and would still like to enjoy your food myself. 😎

We were greeted by the host and seated quickly. We started our meal with a delicious non-alcoholic drink and the Chef's Board: a charcuterie with an assortment of cured meats, rustic bread, and various spreads. That came out pretty quickly. Unfortunately, our main courses came out much, much later and lukewarm. Luckily, the food was good enough that it made up for the temperature. I had the NY strip steak. The steak and the Boursin mashed potatoes alone were very good. The pickled onions and chimichurri complemented the meat very well. The meal was supposed to include brussel sprouts but came with a grilled broccoli cauliflower assortment instead. My wife had the Scallop Risotto which was also a great recommendation from the server. In reality, The Hook & Plow deserved 3 1/2 stars but that's not an option on Yelp. It may have been an off night for the staff, so I will give them the benefit of doubt. We would be open to trying it again sometime in the future.

    For reasons unrelated to restaurant quality or reputation, we'd avoided Zydeco. Recently, however,…read morealong with a couple friends, we decided to give it a shot. Verdict: Zydeco is an outstanding restaurant in virtually every way. No negatives to report. The place is popular - arriving just before opening on a weekday, there was a line to get in. Reservations are definitely a good idea here. Our early arrival in line allowed us to choose a good table in the back, where it wouldn't be too hectic. That too was a good idea as the place gets loud with conversation when it fills up. Music wasn't loud, just the people. The menu isn't huge but there are quite a few, varied choices. Given the meal was a bit of a splurge for us, I essentially ignored the prices, which are not trivial by any means. Fine dining entails spending money. Zydeco has a ton of reviews and as the menu apparently doesn't change, I'll just say everything we ordered was great. Cocktails too. The Bramble Down is exquisite. Service was top tier as well. Timely, attentive, professional without being stiff. The capstone to our experience involved the bill. We actually had a gift card from 2017 - nine years ago. While it certainly didn't cover the whole bill, or even half, it was a nice way to defray costs. Unfortunately, when the server ran the gift card, it showed no balance. Not sure why but perhaps over the years, the card had been erased by stray EMF. Despite that and given we provided the card receipt, the restaurant honored the card for the full amount anyway. Well done. Highly recommended.

So if you're hankering for the mac n cheese or shrimp n grits or veg burger or any of the menu items, after today they are history. I started eating at The Drake in their first week of business and had many, many, many meals there over the years but things change and so, it seems, has the popularity of The Drake. Now the good news. The new owners are a trio and one of them is also one of the owners of the inestimable Ken's Artisan Pizza in Portland that opened its' Bend location last year. (Go! Even if you have to stand in line for 45 minutes like I did.) The first news of this ownership change was that they would keep the name and current focus of The Drake. But local television news reports that after The Drake closes today it will be reimagined with a new name and design and menu. The opening for the new place is currently said to be Memorial Day weekend. I don't live in Bend anymore but there is still a family home there and so I visit on occasion and knowing a "Ken's" owner is involved in the new enterprise may make me brave the wicked-bad downtown parking to try this new place.
