Decent food for a hotel restaurant. Staff was excellent. Not the most expensive place in town, but a bit pricey for what you get. Overall, a good place to go in Bend to get away from the crowds downtown.

The restaurant was very nice and clean and attractive inside. I had a reservation, there was plenty of seating for a late lunch on a Sunday...no particular table was reserved for us. I was uncertain of he exact menu for that time of the day. It is unclear online or on their FB page what food offerings is available at what time. It was not the brunch menu. I don't normally eat meat and (what I think was the lunch menu) was very very small. It was either a salad or spicy shrimp. They were out of meatless patty options bummer! The food itself was good. I feel it was a good value. The waitress has zero enthusiasm, or interest in us. That and the very small menu with very few options leads me to believe I won't try it again.
Our food order wasn't put in by our server and we had to remind them that we had ordered Salmon and Steak, they never acknowledged the mistake, they offered a free desert item for the wait

I was hoping for an elevated dining experience and nothing we ate surprised or delighted. The food was pedestrian at best. It kind of reminded me of being at the Denver airport and choosing a full service place like Elway's so you could avoid the food court. Better than the Panda Express, but not where you would go if you weren't on a long layover.

Nice ambiance and convenient location in the Oxford Hotel. The food quality and taste were good. The service was slow and they didn't bring the entree for one person. We had to order it again and it came 5 minutes before we needed to leave. This is the second time in three visits that this has happened.

We went there for my girlfriends birthday dinner they did not have what she wanted and would not make changes to her meal the staff did nothing to help celebrate her big day like most upscale restaurants do don't get me wrong the food was good and the restaurant it self is amazing. And the desserts are truly next level but the lack of customer service was not up to par at all. We would go back again but only for drinks and dessert. But never again for a special occasion.

Tried Roam for the 1st time and was not impressed. Ordered the special, a filet mignon - received a charred tough ribeye. The starter, salad, cocktail were all good. The restaurant did acknowledge the poor execution on the main and comp'd the main. The service and atmosphere was good. We went across the street to one of of our favorite restaurants for desert and sat next to a couple guys that had a similar experience at Roam a week earlier. Hopefully, this was a anomaly but will so many other great options in town, we probably won't be back.

ROAM was very nice and I was pleasantly surprised since I had no idea what we were getting into because it was a last minute booking. It turned out to be really good. Food was delicious, and I really liked the space. The waitress was friendly and fairly attentive, but could have been better trained since I had to ask questions about most of the things she should have been telling us. Overall, I'd give the place a 4, which is very good, just not great. Great is reserved for exceptional experiences.

I came here in November with 7 girlfriends and it was a wonderful experience! I wanted to bring my husband last night to show him. Unfortunately, service felt very different than before. The hostess was also our waitress--long waits between visits to our table. She visited us a total of 3 times (drinks, dinner order, bill). Our drinks took 20 minutes to come. We were not offered a dessert menu--just our bill. It just seemed like they wanted to be done with us. Such a bummer. The ambiance is so nice!
Roam never disappoints. Breakfast, lunch, appetizers and drinks at the bar, and dinner service have always been wonderful experiences for us. That's why it's our “go to.”
BEST KEPT SECRET IN BEND! Seriously, the menu options are incredibly diverse (including tofu) and delicious. We stayed at the hotel for the Christmas holiday and ate here for Xmas dinner and every morning for breakfast. The Elk Morning Hash is the best breakfast meal you'll ever have (with the Brioche French Toast a close second). The potatoes are cooked to perfection and I don't even eat meat or dairy but after having a curious bite of my husband's breakfast, I found myself ordering the Elk Hash the next morning (they made it dairy-free for me without any issues). The Chia Morning Power bowl was interesting but very healthy... I"m not much of a turmeric in my chia pudding kinda person but it felt nourishing and energizing. All the staff that seated and served us were incredibly friendly and warm. We miss Roam and wish it was in Atlanta! We look forward to returning...

We went for brunch and were terribly disappointed. Their breakfast bacon sandwich was not nearly as good as McDonald's. It had maybe a teaspoon of grated cheese. The bisquits in the 'bisquits and gravy' meal were dry and the gravy was just so, so. There was maybe a tablespoon of sausage at most in the gravy. Orange juice was in a very small glass, and I don't think it was freshed squezzed. The potatoes were cooked nicely but there was very little seasoning on them. The server was efficient and polite. Tables were crowded together. We'll never go back.

Christmas brunch was great at Roam. The Signature Breakfast and Hash were delicious. The blood orange mimosa and Forager cocktails were perfect. And Brandon was an amazing server--very friendly and offering just the right amount of help. We'll be back!

We've eaten here a few times but this was the first Christmas we spent dining in. It's easy to be a grinch when you have to work Christmas morning but the staff was incredibly nice and kind. Definitely made the right decision in stopping by! Food was excellent as always. Thank you for the wonderful Christmas Brunch!

Went for Xmas breakfast with a friend and disappointed in lack of Christmas decorations and festivities in eating area. Had hoped there would be a special breakfast but it was just the usual menu. Felt mimosa was overpriced. Food was just warm. Our server was good but did not feel very welcomed when first got there especially as Xmas. Would probably not return.
