First time visiting and we will be back! The service was excellent and the food was very good. The hubby said the steak was one of the best he has had. Love seeing this nostalgic spot on the Lake open and doing well.

We came midweek this winter for something nice and cozy, and boy did it deliver. There were sweeping views of the lake, a warm atmosphere like home and a neat custom bourbon bar tucked into the back. It was happy hour, so we ordered some delicious apps like Piggie Wings and a pretzel. I had a smoked old fashioned that was excellent. We decided to stay for dinner- pork chop, chicken a la mer, and pasta. The service was attentive and we can't wait to come back. Thanks!

I simply cannot say enough about The Bend! We absolutely love eating there! The best view on the lake without having to share with 100 other diners! The food is always top notch and we have tried several entrees. Drinks are well perfect too and there are lots of options! Wait staff is friendly and knowledgeable. You just have to go there, experience it and it will be your favorite as well.

Everything from stem to stern was spot-on!Parking: There is a considerable amount of stairs down to the restaurant, but if you call ahead, they can shuttle you down from the parking lot.

Fantastic bourbon bar and restaurant tucked away on the north end of Lake Ozark. Incredible selection, great atmosphere and super view of Lake Ozark. One of the best burgers I’ve had, ever.

Great food, great service, great view. The trees are beautiful this time of year. Best desserts. The sea bass is phenomenal. Tomahawk ribeye perfectly seared. Must try to carrot cake or the chocolate cake. It is all so goodParking: Boat parking

Best service and food at the lake! A nice secret hideaway to enjoy the view of the lake while eating great food and drinking some exquisite cocktails. Would Def recommend to a friend! And some of the friendliest employees around!

Bland. What a ripoff. Shrimp cocktail was good but for the price they are the size of what you get in a grocery store bag. Oyster Rockefeller I am waiting to be sick from them. For God sake don’t mess with a classic! They were lukewarm the spinach tasted like seaweed with old bland BACON! Whatever the cream was on top was horrendous. Adding to insult was the price! $45 for the worst tasting oysters I’ve ever had. Prime rib was cooked perfectly but had no flavor at all. Even the aus jus was bland. What a waste of a beautiful location. My advice is to retire the chef because at the prices charged you should be able to do a lot better.
The 6 Oysters Rockefeller appetizer was easily the least appetizing thing we had, it was listed on the menu as "Market Price" and turned out to be $48.00 when we got the ticket. That was ridiculous. Everything else was excellent. Do not get the "Market Price" appetizer. Sheesh.

Excellent night at The Bend. Great outdoor atmosphere. Zoe provided attentive and responsive service. All 10 diners happy with their meals. High marks for Chicken a La Mer, salmon and lemon pepper chicken and pasta. 5th visit to The Bend this summer and it has improved well over the months.

We were there way to long after order for food was placed. 2 in our party ordered fillets and they were not cooked properly. 1 ordered Mahi Mahi and it was way over salted and string beans were way over seasoned. I ordered the burger and it was ok at best. Our meal and drinks were over $300.00. Most expensive food ever ordered and everyone left extremely disappointed.

Food is way overpriced for the quality and quantity. Don’t order the scallops. You only get 3 little scallops. What a joke.
