    Our dinner was absolutely wonderful, complemented by amazing service. We enjoyed a cozy table for two by the window, watching the snow fall while music played in the background, creating the perfect ambiance. My husband enjoyed the lobster special while I had the black truffle ragu with scallops....yum! The new owner's attention to detail was evident in every aspect of the experience, making for a truly perfect evening. We couldn't have asked for a more delightful dining experience!

    Overall we had the Best dinner experience at South Bend Bistro. Everything was delicious and the service is always the best. The lobster dip appetizer was great and a new thing we hadn't tried before. The ambiance was perfect. This is our favorite date night restaurant when we make a trip to Sunriver. It is a hidden gem!

    Shortish menu but changes frequently. Specials really are special. Short ribs for me at this last supper that was hearty and melt-in-your-mouth. Well paired with a suggested wine ("servers" are as solid as sommeliers I have met at other higher end restaurants - but these servers are part of the management / sourcing team so not entirely unexpected). Wife had a pork chop that was amongst the best we have eaten - accompanied by brussel sprouts she normally hates (and thought I would eat) but prepared simply and well in a fashion she worked through all but one taste for me. Our fourth or fifth time here - always good food.

    This is the best restaurant in Sunriver - and it isn’t particularly close. Outstanding in so many ways.
