“Outstanding experience at this high-end establishment. This ranks among the top three meals we've enjoyed. The albacore and scallop dishes were delicious, and the New York strip with asparagus and black garlic was succulent and satisfying. Totally converted me on mushroom bisque - thank you! A must-visit for those seeking refined flavors and impeccable service.Highly recommend the very seasonal tasting menu.“
“This is my family's go to stop when we have an early workday on a Friday or some downtime over the weekend. They are extremely friendly to my daughter and it's a great environment for couples and families alike. Very nice quality wines for the price point and the most lovely staff. Also... I dream about the Marcona almonds on their cheese board!“
“I hope the people who live around Brookswood Plaza know what a great shop they have in Austin Merchantile.This place is classy and beautiful.The main reason I go is because they are the only shop in town that sells Bohemian Roastery Coffee, THE BEST.They also have great wine and local beers on tap. Check it out, you will not be disappointed.“
“Delicious drinks and yummy snacks. The vibe and ambiance were great. Decor was fun. Amazing service. Cute nooks and seating in the patio, which is actually just the alley (I’m not complaining because it’s great). Conveniently located downtown.Vegetarian options: There are vegetarian options on the menuParking: Parking like the rest of downtown is terribleKid-friendliness: It’s a bit of a bar so not so kid friendly. One of the bathrooms has a bunch of tasteful but maybe not kid friendly art“
“Dave did a great job explaining the wines. I told him we were after a Spanish or Portuguese wine, and what we like in a wine. We bought 2 Spanish wines he recommended, and opened the 2019 Matsu "El Picaro" temperanillo to have with our take out food from Barrio. He was spot on! It's a terrific wine for the $15 price point, and it doesn't taste nearly as young as it is.“
“My husband and I went here during a ski trip to Mt. Bachelor. I’ve never been to Bend before and we just stumbled upon this restaurant, which doesn’t look like much from the outside but was one of the best meals either of us have had in a long time. Drinks were tasty, they have a great wine selection. I had the scallop and saffron risotto and it was truly done exactly right. I have never had a scallop that perfectly seared. The texture and flavor of the risotto was amazing. We also had beef carpaccio to start which was delicate and flavorful. My husband’s bolognese was top notch as well. Overall the service and general vibes were unassuming and friendly. Highly recommend!!!!“
“This is a great place for fine dining! Amazing menu that you can’t go wrong with no matter what you order. Wonderful wine list and they are happy to let you taste before you buy. Cozy, romantic dining room. Service is spot on, there when you need them yet no pressure to hurry any stage of your dining experience. Worth the drive from Bend!“
“I went by the other day to Good Drop in hopes of finding a 1998 bottle to open on my upcoming birthday. Been searching for months with no luck until I came across this shop by chance. Miraculously, they had a bottle of '98 Sonoma Valley Cab Sauv! Their amazing service as well must be mentioned. Next time I am in Bend, I will have to make a stop again to see more of their great selection of wines!“
“I absolutely love this place! Best staff, great food, they care about their clients, fun place for music on Thursdays, amazing staff, good wine. I highly recommend!Vegetarian options: Veggies, olives, nutsDietary restrictions: Gluten free crackers“
“I recently visited Elixir Wine Group after hearing about their 96 point pinot noir, which was made locally in Bend, and had an amazing experience. Not only was the wine delicious, but there was also an impressive variety of both local wines and international wines. The tasting room was nice and cozy especially during these colder months. I highly recommend visiting Elixir if you’re in the area and I look forward to my next visit!“
“My good friend Renee and I had an enchanted evening at Domaine Serene where we had the pleasure of trying their ambitious new menu which is now available to the public. The new menu has been crafted in collaboration with iconic, local Executive Chef George Morris, of Bos Taurus and Nomé notoriety, and features creative wine-inspired cuisine with a French bistro flair, and notable Pacific Northwest ingredients. We had been eagerly anticipating the new menu launch event, and it was a memorable and magical experience with every course. Our multi-course dinner was exceptional, and the world class wine pairings were curated with thoughtfulness. Some of our favorite dishes included: Amuse-Bouche // Shigoku Oysters on The Half Shell w/ Blood Orange ‘R’ Rosé Granita, & Yuzu Kosho. Beef Short Rib Bourguignon // Creamy Polenta, Root Vegetables, w/ a Red Wine Jus. For me, the culinary star of the show, and probably one of the best dishes I’ve ever had: The Steamed Foie Gras Wontons A rich, delectable creation framed with a Smoke-Forward Shoyu, and Aromatic; Miyagi Chili Oil, Hints of Mint From the Shiso, and the citrus notes from the lime accentuated the strengths of the dish with a delicate balance. With their exciting new menu, and added team members, now is a great time to go experience the serendipity of Domaine Serene for yourself.“
“Lovely, homey, comfortable, unpretentious. We enjoyed the low-key vibe and the servers' knowledge about pairings with each of our meals, as well as a single bottle that would work for everyone to enjoy together. I adore cheese plates and order them often. This is the first time I've had one plated this way, and I'm changed forever! Why every establishment doesn't present the cheeses this way, I don't know! ??“
“Wonderful neighborhood wine bar and restaurant. Wine flights and food items regularly change. Staff very knowledgeable about the wines and will help you find just what you want. They also have a nice room for private events and a patio for summer enjoyment!Vegetarian options: They will work with dietary restrictions/ preferences.Parking: There is parking in front of, at the side, and behind the building“
