The Blacksmith - Bend

The surfing and shaking dish was fantastic, and the pistachio-crusted hooliage was delightful. Kate, our server, was attentive and friendly! It's always a great place for dinner!

The food was delicious, and the portion sizes were just right. I could easily hear the people I was dining with. The servers were attentive and wonderful.

The atmosphere is lovely—it's not too bright and has a gentle vibe, with enough space between tables so it doesn't feel crowded. The food is excellent, as always. They introduced a cheese plate since our last visit, and it featured four delectable speck-wrapped bites that I believe had goat cheese inside. Oh my goodness, they were absolutely divine! Honestly, they must be a bit of a hassle to prepare, but I would definitely pay extra for a plate of just those! I could easily indulge in them until I couldn't move if someone didn’t stop me! Additionally, our waitress, Kira (if I got her name right), was absolutely delightful!

Delicious food and outstanding service! To celebrate our 13th anniversary, they surprised us with a long-stemmed rose!

We had a delightful dinner! There were roses on our table to celebrate our anniversary, which was a lovely touch.
