This was our second visit to Lakeside Bistro at Black Butte Ranch, and it reminded us why we came…read moreback. 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. If you found this review helpful, give it a like so it can help others discover one of Black Butte Ranch's favorite gathering spots.

We stopped in on a weekend night with a group of 12 and had a great meal. You line up to order at…read morethe counter and then grab a seat outside. 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.

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.

The ribeye steak was very tender and all ingredients were fresh. The hoagie bun was very fresh. We enjoyed the sandwich very much.

The ambiance is great with indoor and outdoor seating and dog friendly.

LGBTQ+ are more than welcome, along with furries, and of course D&D/fantasy fans. we need more places like this in redmond

This place could not be cuter and cozier. The rotation of seasonal foods & drinks never fails to…read morecatch my attention, most recently the deliciously chocolatey s'mores brownie (a limited edition summer treat), but the pasties are also to die for and the shepherd's pie one will just make you feel like you are a hobbit I swear (I demolished that mac and cheese one though, and I am lactose intolerant lol). I have had the charcuterie boards and they are also good, as are the mini pizzas. The staff are friendly and helpful, the interior is both homey and visually interesting, and IME even the patrons are generally chill, awesome people (not to be biased or anything :P). The well kept yet comforting atmosphere and the variety of games available to play for free really help make this my favorite spot in town, and I mean fully my favorite. Also, if you've ever wanted to wear that cosplay, garb or coord out, now is your chance, because they will not bat an eyelash. Just look for the giant skeleton (imo a beloved fixture of the establishment & it wouldn't be the same without him). Considering not only their existence as a hub for community events but also their current ongoing assistance in serving as a dropoff point for fire relief supplies & efforts to rally more donations, I would consider them a pillar of the community and a welcome haven for not only the geeks & nerds of Redmond but for anyone who simply wants to step away from the bustle of life and into a charming and comforting oasis. It is with good reason that this establishment has become somewhat of a home away from home for me, and I hope it will become yours too, because if you're reading this and you haven't been yet, you are indeed missing out and should rectify this tragic oversight immediately :P But no really, go check it out (I hear that Kyle makes awesome drinks, and although I'm not too much of a big drinker myself, my experiences in that realm have been generally good with this establishment). ​

He sweats and pushes us to order and eat fast, doing that waiter thing when they pretend they are not rushing you. "Just checking if you need that plate taken away." Not fooling anyone. Brusque to my brother who is into fine wines and requested tastes of some by-the-glass wines before committing to a glass or a bottle. My wife stated she is uncomfortable around the server. We don't go to the Open Door much now. Old review. A real romantic spot. Great drinks. My wife loves it. Sitting outside is best but the bar is good too. Some nights they put tables in the art gallery out front and you sit around the paintings and jewelry, kind of fun. There used to be a waitress named Kristen or Kirsten, a lady with long hair and clogs, the best server I've ever had and I don't just mean in Central Oregon. The Open Door is the probably the best dining experience in Sisters. Living in Tumalo and working throughout Oregon, I go to Sisters often. Unfortunately Sisters isn't a great town for food. The Open Door has some very-good food, and some pretty-good food. You never know which it's going to be. The halibut, meatballs, and lasagnas are solid. Berries and cream dessert is great. The menu doesn't change much over the years. If my wife didn't love it I wouldn't go back so often. Get bored eating the same dishes over and over. When my brother and his grown kids visit they like the atmosphere, especially those small houses outside with the plants. However they have trouble finding a selection that works for their way of eating, allergies, one is vegan and one is lactose intolerant.
