   The Lodge Restaurant at Black Butte is elegant, with simple lines and clean walls. Our server was lovely and attentive. The menu choices were spare and slightly different from what was available three years ago when we last dined there. We'll go back.

   Black Butte Ranch is a special place…one of Central Oregon’s hidden gems. The setting is secluded and gorgeous overlooking a small lake and the distant mountains. The restaurant is another gem, with a spacious elegant dining room featuring a large central fireplace, towering cielings and floor to ceiling windows. The menu is limited, offering one each of beef, chicken, fish, pork, pasta and vegetarian entrees. We enjoyed a pork shank, ribeye steak, Caesar salad, red curry soup and peach cobbler. Each dish was excellent, with complex and subtle flavors and beautiful presentation. The meat dishes were very tender, highly flavorful, and lean. The prices ranged from $35 to $47 and the quality made the prices an excellent value. The service was excellent. The ambience was romantic and subtle, with soft music and beautiful open architecture, a great location for a special meal or celebration.

   Had a great meal. It was odd that we are able to book 745pm table for four but the second we got into the restaurant the staff reminded us multiple times that they close soon so hurry up and order food. So we didn’t order appetizers, ordered drinks fast and ate fast all for $500. Seems for that price and the fact that we simply booked a table that was available on Open Table that we should have been able to eat and order at our pace

   Nice place and atmosphere, drinks from bar were great. Server was overwhelmed, so we didn’t get great service even though we had a reservation. Food was overpriced for small portions and lacked flavor. My Fiance ordered the salmon and it was incredibly overcooked and very bland. The server didn’t check on us to make sure our food was good. Overall a beautiful restaurant which makes for a great experience, but when you’re spending $50 on a dish, you expect the food to be amazing…. Not lackluster and burnt. Unfortunately, we left feeling very disappointed.

    We enjoyed our dinner on Valentine’s Day. The food was prepared well and tasted great. The service was a little slow as it appears they were behind on waiters or disorganized in the kitchen.
