This is the best place for fine dining in Sisters. The food is consistently good and the staff is what makes this place. Always a great time and we recommend this place to anyone that wants a great meal and exceptional service. Love the art gallery and special events. read more

Update review. We keep getting a male server who is stressed out and impatient. Makes us feel rushed. Acts like he's a great waiter and like we're unworthy customers. 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. read more

The food is so so and it's VERY expensive. $ 18 for a sandwich and potato chips. Great service tho. Super cute location.

Beet salad is more like a salad with beef cubes. Not great. Scallops come under seared and are a bit small. Pork chop is just ok; a bit dry and apple compote-like garnish ok. Needs more texture. read more

Amazing food, service, and art. The tahini bowl and fall salad were amazing. Will be back!

Great food and super friendly service. Loved the art gallery/restaurant ambiance; very cozy. Bet the outdoor seating is nice when the weather is warmer. We had the salmon/sweet potato chowder which had a hint of curry, chicken Caesar salad, and fall salad with salmon. Loved the curry dressing on the fall salad! All were gluten free & delicious! read more

The ambiance is absolutely beautiful--outdoor seating with a warm, sunny breeze, relaxing music, and plenty of flowers to admire. The vibe was peaceful and inviting, making it the perfect spot to unwind. Service was attentive, though a bit on the slower side, we waited almost an hour for the main course. They do have a kitchen break between 3:30-4:30 PM, and I'd recommend making a reservation if you're planning to visit during peak hours. The food was fresh, flavorful, and creatively presented--it's clear the chef enjoys experimenting with unique flavor combinations. My husband tried the seafood lasagna, which was a tasty and satisfying treat. The scallops dish was also delicious, though slightly too salty for my taste and quite light--it came with a small amount of polenta and a vegetable purée, so I found myself a bit hungry afterward. Many people around us were ordering pasta, and it looked fantastic--definitely something I'd love to try next time. Overall, a beautiful place with great food and a memorable atmosphere. Highly recommend! read more

We enjoyed dinner here our first night in Sisters and it was a real treat. They didn't have any open tables because we hadn't made a reservation so we put our names on the wait list and it was worth the wait! The patio is so beautiful with all the twinkle lights in the trees, as it got darker it was magical. We had fantastic service, everything we ordered was really good and I purchased one of the beautiful metal pieces that were on display. We also ended up chatting with the owner at the end of our visit and she gave us lots of other good recommendations in the area. If you're in Sisters for the evening, this is a must visit but make sure to make a reservation! But even if you don't it's worth the wait! read more

The Open Door - Seafood lasagna - New American Near Me - Sisters, Oregon

This is the restaurant we always introduce to our out of town family & friends. We arrived a bit early & grabbed a glass of wine & enjoyed the garden for a few minutes before being seated. We had a party of seven & sat outside on a beautiful summer evening. Brussels sprouts & focaccia bread were perfect appetizers. Everyone loved their meals. The seafood lasagna was enough for two. Most of us ordered the delicious halibut & ate 1/2 for lunch the next day. We ordered a couple of desserts & the table shared them. The Open Door is a great place to make new memories! read more

While in Sisters for the first time, friends took us to the Open Door for lunch. I don't often post Yelp reviews, but this is special. In addition to friendly service and fantastic meals, you sit amidst a sea of stunning works of art. I ordered the Grilled Chipotle Turkey Club with an arugula & beet salad that was delicious, as was the smoked albacore appetizer spread. Our waitress, Greta was both charming and engaging -- the kind of service that elevates an already amazing meal. read more

Limited menu but what they do is excellent! Great for dining outside and superb drinks.

Best Fall menu ever! Fresh off the vine tomatoes made a wonderful bisque and the salad with roasted squash, onion and avocado was to die for. Decor is one of the most inviting spaces. My highest recommendation! read more

Great value and a perfect location. Ample parking and walking areas are nearby, so folks should have no issue finding a place to access The Open Door. The restaurant is in a shared space with an art gallery, so follow the correct signs to enter the right door. During warmer weather, the large patio will be open. The staff are quick to help you find a seat or the waitlist when you arrive. The dining area is quaint, so keep the volume down to respect other diners. We sat against a small window with stained glass art at midday, and the sun warmed us very nicely with chilly outdoor temperatures. The menu is small, so I was glad to have few options that kept me from feeling food FOMO, since my guest is unable to eat the same options as I. After a few recommendations from the server, we ordered a seasonal flatbread and a beet salad with chicken. The wait was not too long, and the staff checked in on us at pleasant intervals. As a self-described salad lover, I know I may be the odd man out when discussing how to make salads better. However, I would have to rate this beet salad as a 2.5/5. For almost $20 a bowl, there should be far more beets and other fixens than a massive plate of arugula. Don't get me wrong, I love arugula, but the value was not there. A salad with five or fewer visible ingredients is lost on me. I would recommend adding roasted chickpeas, herbs, shredded carrots, and more local ingredients to smash this out of the park. Their other menu items seem well done, so I would not hold this against this place. The flatbread was substantial, with lots of seasonal squash and brie. 5/5 on this one. This is a great choice for any health-conscious diners staying or driving through Sisters. read more

Visiting from out of state. Stopped in on a whim, early dining, 5:30. When we approached the front desk we were asked if we had a reservation. "No", we haven't a reservation. Yikes, I don't think they like that judging by the look we got. Luckily, we got a table! (Woo!) Our server Chris was positively amazing. Hands down the best of our trip thus far. We had Brussels for app, meatballs for one entrée, and halibut for the other. Truthfully, as others have mentioned...skip the halibut. Dry, no flavor, and grateful it came with a lemon wedge. The lemon raspberry dessert was everything! Would I recommend this restaurant? Yes. Would I choose a different dish? Yes. read more

Oh my goodness! What a wonderful evening at Open Door. We had a terrific server, Greta and a great visit with the owner Julia who gave us a history of this amazing spot. We all loved our meals and of course dessert! We sat in the gallery surrounded by one of our favorite artists, Garth Williams. This is a very special spot in beautiful Sisters....we will be back. Thank you read more

Was so excited to try this spot. Ordered the soup - tomato bisque; on the menu it said it was served with bread. It came out alone. I asked for bread and was charged $2... Also ordered the brussels, as they're one of my favorite foods but these fell short. Soft and steamed, NOT crispy. Also comes with smoky bacon, balsamic and parmesan?? Odd pairing of flavors that didn't complement each other. If they served these crispy minus the parm, they'd be perfect! My friends got the salad with sweet potato and both loved theirs. Sweet bartender/server and kind staff. read more

This is a charming restaurant inside an art gallery. The staff is super friendly and service was excellent. Each dish was full of flavor, the three of us all got a different entree so we could try different dishes. Don't miss out on the artichoke dip for a starter! You won't regret it. read more

Food was fabulous, service was great! Extensive mocktail menu much appreciated. Gallery inventory was cool, too.

Disappointed this evening after many enjoyable meals! Must have too many new staff working on the same shift this evening. My halibut was cold, service was so slow that we timed out of our table and couldn't order desert?!? It was a birthday celebration as noted in the Resey reservation and nothing there this eve was remotely special. Sadly, will have to think about going there again. read more

Had a great lunch here. Good wine list. All of the food was fresh a tasted amazing. Next time we pass through we will stop here again. Sydney our waitress was perfect. Great service and smile. read more

Well, it certainly is a pretty place. However, our party of four was forced to split our bill evenly. We had to spend 20 minutes after we were finished and ready to leave with our calculators trying to figure out who owed what. It was a complete drag and pretty much soured the experience. Also, I ordered a steak salad. It was served with cold steak! Who does that? I was very disappointed in my meal (although there was nothing wrong with it other than that). So unless you all order the same dollar amount of food, you'll be stuck with a mess of a bill. read more

Yummy lunch inside a gallery. Enjoyed admiring the pictures and then the food was art! And flavor amazing! Love it read more

The Open Door - Flatbread and beet salad - New American Near Me - Sisters, Oregon

We really enjoyed the patio dining experience and the food was ok, pretty awful service.

Beautiful and fun place for dinner. Definitely make reservation: the weather was cold and seating was inside only. Not many tables so reservations are a must. My hubby and I split the sausage lasagna. It was good with beautiful marinara sauce and delicious Parmesan but the sausage itself was a bit bland and could have done better with some more spices and flavor. We also had the beet salad: delicious warm cubes of red beets with arugula, nuts, goat cheese. Very nice! I ordered a glass of Pinot Noir Rose which was not what I liked at all, Chris our server was so sweet to bring me a Chardonnay instead. I was impressed with the ambiance and the service, a little less so with the main course. But so worth it when in Sisters! Beautiful cocktails list as well! read more

We were at Open Door on Saturday night without reservations. Luckily there was a spot at the bar. Friendly bartender ( Olivia? ) and patrons. We had the Halibut and the Seafood Lasagna. Both meals were outstanding. The starting beet salad was a treat as well. Drinks (Negroni and Smokejumper) were spot on. This will be another go to place when we visit Sisters. read more

Absolutely! This is one of our go to restaurants. Love the location, food and art gallery.

They are a hidden gem in Sisters. I thought they were an art gallery only for a time, but friends told us about the restaurant. Their food is excellent, service down-home, and the bonus is the local art on the walls. I'd love to take home many of the pieces, along with the yummy leftovers! read more

First of all our server was great. Very attentive and really nice. The problem was the food. I have to give the chef credit for the tomato soup and the beet salad. The halibut was dry and did not have any flavor. I replaced the mashed red potatoes with the Brussels sprouts. Both lacked in flavor. We spoke with another patron and she had the same experience. We were given a gift certificate for the restaurant and our total was way less than the bill so we gave all of the difference to the waitress. We Will never be back. BTW we live in central Oregon read more
