Madras Restaurants

The Drake is a gem of downtown Bend. The food is always good and the service is excellent.

The service was great and they made us feel very special for our anniversary. But the prices were a little too high for the quality. The dinner items are almost all over $30 and I had a big crab shell in my crab cakes. Not sure we’d want to pay the high prices to go again. Maybe just for drinks.

This was our first time here to celebrate our anniversary. The food was delicious and the service was outstanding. We highly recommend The Brickhouse Bend and we enjoyed our meal and the service provided by our waiter. Keep up the good work!!

Wonderful experience. We were early for our reservation, but still seated promptly, as it was early evening without many patrons yet. Service was swift from start to finish. We each ordered a drink, and then dinner. As they say, "you eat with your eyes first". The presentation of our dishes was very well done. My soup looked like a work of art! I (almost) hated to mess it up, but it was delicious (Cauliflower Bisque). My wife ordered Spaghetti Carbonara, while I had the house-made ravioli bolognese. Again, nice presentation and both very tasty. Also - not enormous portions, which is often the case at many restaurants with pasta dishes. It was the perfect amount for both of us. We were satisfied but not stuffed... still room for dessert! My wife had the chocolate torte with basil gelato (amazing!) and I had a nice mango sorbet. Finish it all off with cappuccino and espresso, and... yum. Our waiter had also recommended the candy capped mushroom and walnut gelato. Sounded a bit weird to us, so we passed. But after we had finished our desserts, he brought us (unsolicited) a small plate of it to taste. OMG! Delightful. We both highly recommend that and the basil gelato. All in all a very enjoyable experience in every aspect. Best Italian food we've found in Bend, bar none.

Quiet environment, with great ELK Hash and salads!
