Reviews for Roam in Bend, OR
We had excellent service, food, and drinks here. The atmosphere is pleasant and quieter, which we like because it?s easier to... chat! Our waitress was very attentive and pleasant with great timing when it came to checking in at our table. The food was wellbalanced, with great flavors that were not overpowering. We had the peach salad, the trout, and the salmon. We each had twococktails and a dessert as well, all of which were wonderful! The chef is awesome, this place is ranked lower overall than itshould be; we were told while we were there that it is a newer chef and staff, so that must have made all the difference! Read more
I came during happy hour but just needed a quick bite. The Cesar salad was basic. The Brussels sprouts were AMAZING!!! So much... flavor! I would highly recommend them. I would have skipped the salad and only ate the Brussels they were that good. Read more
1) The Roam Salad is mixed lettuce with poached northwest pears, rogue creamery blue cheese, candied hazelnuts and champagne... vinaigrette. It was very fresh and the dressing coverage was just right: not too much or little. Choice to add chicken orsalmon. My salmon was cooked medium and was flavorful. Nice combo with the salad. 2) The Butternut Squash Bisque is some ofthe best I?ve ever had. More thick than other versions and I really enjoyed that. Staff was professional and on task. Bathrooms are in the adjoined hotel and very clean. Artwork is from there. Read more
My son and daughter in-law were treating me to brunch here. Service was EXTREMELY slow, and I would say they were at maybe 10%... capacity. It took 45 minutes to get food, and it was cold. When the order finally came in (our app was delivered with themeal), they didn't have my order. Took about 15 minutes to get my order, which I had asked to make TO GO because my kids had toget back to Portland. Well, that didn't happen, and had to wait another 10 minutes to get it boxed up. Daughter in-law's EggsBenedict had untoasted English muffin. Son's toast was overtoasted and dry, and we had to ask for butter. My to-go orderincluded gravy, which was supposed to be bacon gravy, but tasted like onion powder exclusively and lacked salt. I will say thatI absolutely LOVED the spanish coffee though. Almost was enough to leave a 2-star review. Read more
Came for dinner on a Friday night. Great service and friendly staff. The brussels sprout appetizer and cocktails were both... decent, wish we had stopped there. This restaurant is *not* for vegetarians. I ordered the cauliflower steak entree and myboyfriend ordered the buffalo burger. He said the burger was okay, fries were most definitely from the freezer. My cauliflowersteak was unseasoned and room temperature, paired with completely raw oyster mushrooms and about a teaspoon of vegetable purée.It was dry and bland and none of the vegetables were cooked properly. ?High end? restaurants never seem to know how to preparevegetables.. To top that off with a clear view of a flat screen tv playing a basketball game, it was very difficult to justifya $25 vegetable entree. Again, service was great and wait staff were very attentive and friendly so I will give 2 stars forthat. Please step it up with vegetarian entrees and dishes (even the salads looked mediocre), Bend does not need another steakhouse or more pub food. The breakfast menu looks enticing so I may give them another try! Read more
ROAM, located inside The Oxford Hotel in Bend is a great place for food or drink! We stopped in for a cocktail before our show... at The Tower Theater and it was perfect. We did not try the food but from what we saw, and heard, the food looked (and tasted)terrific! ROAM, a great place to start, or end an evening, with service to match! Read more
Food was even better than we were expecting. They did a wonderful job on the interior decor and the ambience was great.... Appetizers were great, the chicken was perfectly cooked and all the flavors complimented each other perfectly, Read more
Great flavors and decent portion size for the price. We got the Ahi tuna starter, the pork belly, and the pumpkin chicken... enchiladas. The ahi starter could have used more mini-crackers to eat the tuna with, but the flavors were great. The mains wereboth delicious. I had the enchiladas and the chicken sold the dish for me: perfectly tender and flavorful. We look forward togoing back and trying more! Read more
