Cabin 22 Bar and Grill

Advertisements

We decided to go have lunch at Cabin 22 before seeing The Kings’ Man at the Regal Theater.

We opted to sit at the outside patio where there were some nice big tables and chairs with propane fire columns and large round fire pits to sit around with while having some libations.

Look at the fire pit and seating over a BlackBerry Cucumber Mojito.

Beer: I started out with a FivePine Chocolate Porter from Three Creeks Brewing Company ($7), based on the recommendation of our waitress, Shannon, based off of my burger selection. It was a refreshing, dark, sweet, chocolaty treat. Check out my review on Untapped https://untp.beer/Ne71A

FivePine Chocolate Porter from Three Creeks Brewing Company

Our burgers came out shortly after order which is always a good sign.

Lunch: Winter Signature Burger ($17.95) Prosciutto Chip, Goat Cheese, Sweet Potato Crisps and a Balsamic Glaze.

All Burgers Served with Lettuce, Tomato, Onion & Kosher Pickle on Big Eds Pretzel Bun Served with Cabin Dipper Fries or Cajun Tots.

Winter Signature Burger

I thoroughly enjoyed this burger, although none of the burgers ordered were cooked to the temperature asked (they all look cooked medium well) we all enjoyed. Specifically I liked that my burger came with the right amount of cheese, enough to let you know it was there, but not too much that it was over powering. The crisps were a nice addition, but unfortunately I didn’t get any hint of balsamic glaze. the Cajun Tots were crisp, and well seasoned with a flavorful but not overpowering cajun rub. One last thing of note, the cabin dipper French fries were pretty cool, they were like French fry scoops and I’d recommend them as well.

With a nice selection of beer, wine, spirits, and cocktails and burgers, pizza, and sandwiches, Cabin 22 is a rexamendation 100%.

The Blacksmith

Advertisements

I’ve always wanted to try The Blacksmith while I’ve picked up and dropped off riders from there the last 6 months. Everyone has always said they were looking forward to, or really enjoyed their meals. Recently I had the opportunity to dine at The Blacksmith for my parents anniversary dinner.

Appetizers: So we started the night off with a salad selection. I went with the Roasted Beet ($13) Mixed greens tossed in lemon herb vinaigrette aside roasted beats, creamy buttermilk goat cheese and beat emulsion with candied almonds.

Now for anyone who know’s me, i love a good beet salad, and this was a good beet salad that paired very well with the goat cheese and candied almonds. I rexammend this salad for sure.

Main Course: For my Entree i decided on going with the Steak and Fries ($50) New York strip topped with house cut Truffle Parmesan fries and green onions in an herb demi glace. I went with a rare temperature, and was pleased with how it turned out. It didn’t have the best sear on the outside, but had nice grill marks, and the inside was a little more done than rare which was nice. The fries were crispy, and well coated in the demi glace and truffle/parmesan. I have to say, the fries were the more rexcellent part of the meal.

Dessert: When offered dessert, instantly I was hooked when our waitress said they made in house ice cream, and by was I not disappointed. I went with the Ice Cream Trio ($12) Three of our delicious house made ice creams which the current flavors were Vanilla Bean, Chocolate, and Coffee. And what I can I say but all 3 were rich, creamy, and flavorful, but my favorite was the Vanilla Bean, followed by the Coffee. Rexammended for sure.

Overall The Blacksmith lived up to the recommendation tastebud wise, but was a little heavy on the wallet. Although I was a guest in this trip, The Blacksmith looks more like an option for a Client Work Dinner, or a special occasion like an Anniversary, Valentines Day, or Birthday.

Monkless Belgian Ales

Advertisements

Let’s get this right out of the way. Monkless is 100% my favorite brewery in Bend. There I said it, this place provides the beer that I like to drink, now we need to know does the food hold up to the high bar set from the ales?

We decided to do a date night at Monkless at their new (to us) location on the Deschutes River where the patio overlooked the Les Schwab Hayden Homes Amphitheater. We had little lunch and a flight of beers on the patio, the wind was howling and menu’s were flying, but overall it was a good experience. We even got a 5th anniversary cup as well!

Lunch: For my main lunch dish I went with the Pork Schnitzel Plate ($19) Pounded thin, hand breaded and fried pork cutlet, herb & butter noodles, caraway smoked cabbage, mustard cream sauce. I was impressed with the amount of food offered on the dish, and enjoyed the smoked cabbage as a side with the pork & noodle combination. I’m rexcited to go back and see what else is on the menu!

I’d say that Monkless is a spot you should check out, be it on the patio having a few beers or a flight in the summer, or enjoy their indoor seating and atmosphere as well.
