Lovely deck dining and a pleasant inside make for a wonderful meal. The food is delicious, and the service is friendly and efficient. The new owners, David and Cully, have maintained the standards and continue to provide fine dining in Sunriver.

Love South Bend Bistro. I come to this restaurant monthly and have never been disappointed by the food or quality of service. This small, locally owned, “hole in the wall” restaurant is a must go. You will not be disappointed.

Goods outstanding! Had to point out the portions were very small for the price. Specifically, the salad and sides. Taste...awesome!!!!

We love this place @ SR Village; food & service is always super great!!! Reservation in advance is helpful esp. during busy times & busy seasons.

The South Bend Bistro is our culinary sanctuary, and after countless visits, it remains an unrivaled favorite! David and Cully’s impeccable service makes every trip extraordinary—their warmth, attentiveness, and genuine care make us feel like family. David, in particular, is a wine wizard, consistently pairing our dishes with glasses that leave us, as wine connoisseurs, thoroughly impressed with his spot-on selections. Our latest visit was a masterclass in flavor. We started with expertly mixed cocktails: an Old Fashioned that’s bold yet perfectly balanced and a French Margarita with vibrant, zesty flair. The sea scallops with bacon and asparagus were a sublime blend of tender and savory, while the butternut squash soup was a velvety, heartwarming delight. Our salads were fresh and crisp, priming us for the main event. The pork dish was a succulent triumph, and the salmon and chicken were flawlessly prepared, each bite showcasing the kitchen’s artistry. David’s wine pairings elevated every course, with selections that complemented the flavors so perfectly we were left in awe. For dessert, the raspberry sorbet was a bright, tangy burst, and the flourless chocolate cake was pure decadence—rich, fudgy, and divine. The South Bend Bistro never misses a beat. The food is consistently stellar, the presentation impeccable, and David and Cully’s service, paired with David’s wine expertise, makes every visit a five-star experience. We’ll keep coming back for more!

We love coming to the South Bend Bistro to indulge in higher end service and 5* meals. Our dinner included the filet mignon and the special (seafood stew). We also enjoyed the lobster dip and goat cheese/beets plate. Very yummy! Our server David was awesome. The drinks were great, and the mocktail he made for our daughter was unbelievably good. These guys know their stuff. Definitely coming back for more greatness! Thank you

South Bend Bistro is one of our favorite places to dine. We have been coming here for years, and have never been disappointed. This is an excellent choice for a meal, and it is a great local alternative to dining in Bend.

No place like this in Central Oregon. Great owners, great chef, it's a diamond in the rough!

Per my past reviews, one of the top restaurants in the Bend/Sunriver area. The Surf & Turf special I had Friday 4/18 was one of the best I had in recent memory. Combine that with the outstanding service and wine-cocktail recommendations by David Stofel & Culley Calkins make the dining experience over the top.
