We've lived in Central Oregon for 2 years. And we gave found our favorite places to have a meal. After a show at the theater, we stopped at Chops. They had just opened the dining room, so we were the first ones there. Our server, a very nice young lady, who we didn't get a name, was excellent. She was there when we needed her and stayed away when we didn't. The wine, port and food was excellent. Their fresh baked rolls were amazing as was the desert. The restaurant looks very nice inside and appears to have been updated the fit the Central Oregon décor.If your looking for a bit of an up-scale place to have an excellent meal, try them out. I know we will return.

I arranged dinner reservations a week prior to the Christmas week at the Lodge. When calling for reservations, Greg was skillful in booking 3 nights. We were left with peace of mind as cooking at home was out of the question. Many restaurants in Sisters were not accepting dinner reservations the entire week. Adrienne was our most favorite! She was fabulous the several nights we dinned. First impression, she was instantly at our table as we were seated by out hostess, Stephanie. Adrienne appeared professional & capable. Her initial un-rushed & hospitable attitude was demonstrated when apparently she was besieged with numerous exuberant groups all seated in one area of the main dining room. NOT ONE detail was forgotten or missed as we dined several evenings with her in charge. Her gracious, easy-going manner was âstress-lessâ & unruffled. She NEVER disappeared, always nearby to call upon. She was knowledgeable, attentive, likeable & on top of every nuance of our evening. She enhanced an already memorable dining experience. Our son and granddaughters felt that Adrienne had our best interest in mind, we agreed unanimously. Adrienne started us off timely by serving us a bottle of Zinfandel,Tera De Oro ($32). Unfortunately, we didnât catch the name of the perceptive male who brought us baskets of delicious herb bread & butter. Thanks to him we were able enjoy ourselves while waiting for our orders to arrive. He made sure the water glasses were filled, our need for more butter was assured & that my leftovers were boxed. Some of the popular menu items that we enjoyed. Oregon Rockfish & Chips ($18), Black Butte Ranch Cheese Burger ($16) & Iron Steak Sandwich ($17). Our granddaughter loved the Oregon Rockfish (3-4 pieces) & Brew City Fries with Poppy Seed Coleslaw ($18), which were ordered both nights with great reviews. You can always be sure of this meal. The grilled lemon was a game changer, loved the grill flavor & lots of juice to squeeze on the fish. The Grilled Herb Marinated Flat Iron Steak ($17) served with Caramelized Onion, Truffle aioli, Arugula, Sharp cheddar on Big Edâs Ciabatta. Hands down, it was the hit of all three nights. The chef proved to be reliably consistent in flavor & perfectly grilled. As we dined a total of 3 nights, we had an opportunity to experience an âa la carte â item, the Roasted Broccolini with Hazelnuts ($7). As it turned out to be worthy of a meal with its abundance of tasty sauce & chopped hazelnuts served over top.Sunday night my husband ordered Prime Rib from the âdaily specialsâ menu. Astonished & very satisfied, certainly the âpieceâ de resistanceâ the masterpiece of the entire week! Applause goes out to the Chef. The generous thick slice of prime rib was served well- seasoned & un-spoiled medium rare. Warmly served on top of pan juices, whipped potatoes & half dozen roasted asparagus ($32). I am endlessly loyal fan of the Black Butte Ranch Cheeseburger ($16). It comes as a ½ lb local Red Angus Beef Patty, Black truffle aioli, Forest mushrooms, Arugula, melted GRUYERE on a toasted Brioche bun. I have consumed many of these over years of frequenting this restaurant, Aspen Lounge or Roberts Pub. I also suggest them to whom ever we are dining with. The first night my second granddaughter & I ordered beef patties medium rare & the entire burger experience was indeed perfection to our palates. The Gruyere was melted flawlessly, enjoying the tangy arugula instead of lettuce & truffle aioli oozed out of the bun onto the plate. The flavors & texture were spot on. The second night was a different story. The Gruyere cheese appeared left to dry out & came to both of us as un-melted & of rubbery consistency. My granddaughter was the first to point it out & was disappointed after all my building her hopes. I sympathized with her, however, used to this happening, knowing it probably wasnât worth the effort in rectifying it. We both choose the side dish, which was a salad & blue cheese dressing. It came in a small bowl of chicory/endive at room temperature with 3 whole cherry tomatoes found on the bottom. Severed with a tiny side dish of their blue cheese dressing. What ever happened to the by-gone days of the chilled "Pub Salad side dish option? Less than a year ago it came with purple onions, seasoned pecan or hazelnuts, crumbles of feta cheese & Spring Mix salad greens? Our third night of dining had my sister ordering the Caesar salad with a grilled chicken breast, hearts of Romaine, shaved Parmesan, croutons & garlic Caesar dressing ($19). This is her favorite; the cherished Caesar is a tradition of the ranch & locals. Her husband ordered an entrée off the âdaily special.â He reserved comment. It was served as 3 large fried scallops, 3 rice croquettes, handful of cherry tomatoes, 2 pieces of whole garlic & asparagus in butter sauce. I tasted the rice balls & was not that impressed with them. Scallops looked good.Will not leave out Ethan who was also outstanding in being of support & of hospitable nature.

We went there on a Saturday evening because we were interested in hearing the entertainers scheduled to be there. Arrived 45 - 60 min. before performance was to begin. Ordered wine to sip while we perused the menu. Ordered appetizers and said we would wait to order dinner. We figured we were there for the evening and no need to rush. Enjoyed our first glass of wine. Wanted a second, but no one offered. (This is, after all, primarily a wine bar...you'd think they'd offer wine at every turn.) The jalapeno artichoke dip was delish, and not as spicy as you might think. By the time we ordered dinner, the place was filling up. Dinner for me was to be mushroom risotto with shrimp. It came with chicken. Was sent back and returned with shrimp. If I was looking for protein, I should have stayed with the chicken...it looked great and was piled high. The shrimp were 4-5 medium sized...for the price of the upgrade, I would have expected a few more. It was, however very good, the risotto was creamy and very tasty and I brought quite a bit of it home as it (as always) was very filling. Hubby had Thai chicken...also very good. Somewhere near the middle of consuming our entrees we were offered (and ordered) another glass of wine.Part of the problem is that one server took our orders while a different one delivered. Even when serving or taking orders at the tables next to us, our original server never looked our direction or checked to see if we needed anything...despite our many attempts to "catch her eye" (we are not prone making loud requests, but did attempt a reasonably voiced "miss, excuse me..")The place is small, and made smaller by the space taken up by the musicians. There appeared to be two servers for the 10-12 tables inside plus several outside tables. We were told they were understaffed (obviously) and the second server was as attentive as she could be considering I don't think ours was one of her assigned tables...she was doing a lot of filling in and apologizing for the first server. There was no explanation given for the understaffing (was someone ill or didn't show? did they just not schedule enough?) whatever the reason, it seems we get that excuse quite frequently (I guess no one wants to work in food service in Central Oregon these days). We also waited quite a while to get our bill, and then to have it picked up for processing. I would go again, but not if I'm in a hurry.

We come though Sisters several times each year and usually eat here. We have always liked this place because of the variety of selections. We were last here in March and the service was so slow. Our server kept apologizing that they were short staffed that day. This trip the food was even slower, again our server kept apologizing for the delay. She brought us warm homemade applesauce because we were waiting so long for our food. When the food came, my omelette was runny and my sons biscuits and gravy was ALOT of thick, lumpy gravy with the consistency of thick oatmeal. We like this place a lot so hope they figure out the staffing issues.

Friends had recommended the Depot Cafe, but we were really disappointed with the food. This is a place where you order your food at a counter and it is brought to your table when ready. Those working there were pleasant enough, but the food was just so so. I doubt that we'll go back.

Something is just so off. From the Brussels sprouts that came without the stems removed, to the $350 tab for a table of 4 adults and 3 children - the whole meal was underwhelming. Add to the mix - table service that was under-attentive and seemed put out. It was one of those sort of evenings when you think to yourself, âwhy did we spend that much money on [that] meal?âOh, and we brought our own bottle of wine. So the whole evening was just off. I shouldnât be so cynical - as the meatloaf and seafood stew weâre both excellent; but by and large, the consensus at the table was . . . Meh.

We arrived without reservations on a night with music and were lucky to get a table. Check ahead for reservations so you can be assured of a great meal in a comfy spot. Weather plays a big deal here as most of seating is outside and uncovered. Blankets are available for those who wish them. Our server was very helpful with suggestions. We decided to share an entreeâ, split a salad and order an appetizer. Good choices. The Brussel Sprout skewers were quite good. The beet salad hit the spot and the chop and marinade were the best. Through the evening, the entertainment began. We enjoyed their music and it was a perfect complement to the dinner. Wine choices were very nice.Service is done team style with everyone pitching in as needed. We met the owner and had fun discussing children growing up, leaving then returning home. Fun times. If we were locals we would be regulars. Thanks, again, for the excellent service. It means a lot!
