Frommer's Review

Small and romantic, this place is evenly split between its dining room and its wine bar, so whether you're looking to have a romantic dinner or just a glass of wine, this is Bend's top spot for couples. The menu shows a lot of Asian influences but is more fusion than anything else, so expect highly imaginative combinations of flavors and ingredients. You might get something as simple as a braised lamb shank with green-peppercorn demi glace and scallion-feta crushed potatoes or something as unusual as lavender-injected rack of pork with spinach and mission figs on a nest of chive-goat cheese angel hair pasta. Needless to say, there are lots of great wines available by the glass.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
