We've never had anything but an exceptional meal at Zydeco in nine years here. Staff is always…read moreextremely professional and kind. The food is consistently delicious and always fresh. And the ambience is just lovely. If you're looking for something of a romantic dinner in Bend, I would say this should be near the top of your list. In the summer, they have the fun rooftop bar, which is really cool too. Just make sure you get an umbrella. It can be hot!

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.

I paid for a cake for my son's 5th year old birthday, that he was so excited about. When I came to…read morepick up the cake at the confirmed pick up time and date (his birthday) I tried to open the door both before, at, and after my pick up time (I was there for almost an hour waiting) but, there was a CLOSED sign on the door, the lights were off and no one answered my multiple phone calls. I watched as others also tried to open the door, but was locked. I still have not received a refund for the cake I did not receive and needless to say my kids were pretty disappointed.

This cake turned out absolutely gorgeous and even WAY better than I ever anticipated!! I would…read morehighly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for custom cakes. I contacted her a few weeks in advance. I was traveling to Oregon from Texas to celebrate our girls' birthdays. I mailed her the toppers for both the cake and 15 cupcakes. She was quick to respond and said she would be able to provide free delivery within the bend area which was perfect because the party was in bend. She was super nice in providing additional cupcake toppers as I ordered 24 cupcakes but didn't have enough toppers. She really went above and beyond any expectations I had. Her prices were competitive in comparison to other bakers in the area but ultimately she was the one with the most reasonable prices. The payment process was super easy too! The cakes were a huge hit at the party and everyone kept asking where I got such beautiful cakes from. The buttercream was soo good and the chocolate and vanilla cake were good too!! If I lived in Central Oregon I would definitely continue to use Elevation Desserts for my custom cakes.

Located inside the Podski food truck area! I saw this listed on the website and knew I had to try…read moreit! They have quite a list of flavors and I wanted to try a few but they are $10/slice and I don't think 2 slices for $20 is worth it. That being said, the cheesecake is very yummy. I had the raspberry marble and very much enjoyed it. She recommended leaving it out to warm up for about 15 minutes to get the most flavor. I am impatient so I waited about 10 and it was a bit firm but definitely full of flavor! Personally this feels like an every once in a while treat because of the price. Definitely worth trying at least once!

How was there only one vegan review for this amazing cheesecake?…read more I have to admit, I was a little skeptical when my husband read me that lone vegan review, but we walked out the hotel door anyway. Then I was skeptical again when I saw that all the vegan options were also gluten free. That's me throwing shade at gluten free folks. Kidding. I probably should be GF too. Anyway, YES. Fantastic cheesecake. Please give it a try. The peanut butter cup did not disappoint. We also had a drink next door, so no rush back to feast on the cheesecake. (I would post a picture, but the only one I took was for my vegan friends and taken from the bathtub. I also highly recommend eating it in a very hot bathtub, since it comes nearly frozen!)

Spork is special! I will get to the food but first let me tell you about the concept, which is…read morepretty unique. They don't take reservations, which usually annoys me but here it works. When you get there you get in line, but this is no Chipotle (no shade on Chipotle). While you are in line, one of the staff will ask you what you want to drink and will bring it to you so this makes the line much more bearable - and we enjoyed the unique cocktails. Also, while you're on line you can people-watch, take in the cool decor, and decide from the enticing menu. Also, while you're on line, one of the staff will find out how many are in your party so they can start strategizing about where to seat you so you don't have to worry about scrambling for a table. When you get to the front, you order, and they give you a number and they seat you. The line can be long, but it moves, and as I mentioned, you may have a cocktail in your hand to help you get through it. Now to the food. It's a fusion of Asian and Mexican food, very unique offerings. The trouble will be deciding what to have so I recommend sharing if you're there with somebody else so you can try a lot of things. We had the peanut tomato curry with chicken, the spicy fried chicken, the side salad, and the pièce de résistance, which was the carnitas sandwich. You can have this for dessert, it's so rich and delicious. Everything was good and the curry was also a standout. We really enjoyed Spork!

I had the Dan Dan noodles and once I started eating them I couldn't stop they were so good! When you get there get in line and they will come get your drink order and give you a menu, then you get to the register and place your order and they will take you to a table. The service was spot on and attentive but not over done. There is also a great drink, beer and mocktail menu that has tasty beverages! Very family friendly with a great kids menu and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Awesome little booths and great places to have conversation. We very much enjoyed Spork!
