Loved this place. The food, the service from our waiter Chris and the ambiance were top notch. Not to mention the Frosty Sister Cocktail, artichoke dip and beer salad!

We loved it! The hubs took me for a surprise lunch and it was fantastic. Art Gallery restaurant.. The food and atmosphere was so cozy. We had delicious bacon brussel sprouts, flavorful chicken chili soup and flat bread pizza. They have a huge outside patio that so reflect Central Oregon. Have to go back and try more! Big kudos to the chef and staff!

Visiting from out of state. Stopped in on a whim, early dining, 5:30. When we approached the front desk we were asked if we had a reservation. "No", we haven't a reservation. Yikes, I don't think they like that judging by the look we got. Luckily, we got a table! (Woo!) Our server Chris was positively amazing. Hands down the best of our trip thus far. We had Brussels for app, meatballs for one entrée, and halibut for the other. Truthfully, as others have mentioned...skip the halibut. Dry, no flavor, and grateful it came with a lemon wedge. The lemon raspberry dessert was everything! Would I recommend this restaurant? Yes. Would I choose a different dish? Yes.

Wonderful menu, which changes so need t check if your favorite is being served. But, it doesn't really matter because it is all delicious! The food is prepared to perfection add you won't be disappointed. M one of my favorites is the halibut. I have yet to get a dry piece .

Great value and a perfect location. Ample parking and walking areas are nearby, so folks should have no issue finding a place to access The Open Door. The restaurant is in a shared space with an art gallery, so follow the correct signs to enter the right door. During warmer weather, the large patio will be open. The staff are quick to help you find a seat or the waitlist when you arrive. The dining area is quaint, so keep the volume down to respect other diners. We sat against a small window with stained glass art at midday, and the sun warmed us very nicely with chilly outdoor temperatures. The menu is small, so I was glad to have few options that kept me from feeling food FOMO, since my guest is unable to eat the same options as I. After a few recommendations from the server, we ordered a seasonal flatbread and a beet salad with chicken. The wait was not too long, and the staff checked in on us at pleasant intervals. As a self-described salad lover, I know I may be the odd man out when discussing how to make salads better. However, I would have to rate this beet salad as a 2.5/5. For almost $20 a bowl, there should be far more beets and other fixens than a massive plate of arugula. Don't get me wrong, I love arugula, but the value was not there. A salad with five or fewer visible ingredients is lost on me. I would recommend adding roasted chickpeas, herbs, shredded carrots, and more local ingredients to smash this out of the park. Their other menu items seem well done, so I would not hold this against this place. The flatbread was substantial, with lots of seasonal squash and brie. 5/5 on this one. This is a great choice for any health-conscious diners staying or driving through Sisters.

I love the atmosphere here. But the food is not up to par. I can’t help but wonder if this is bought, delivered, and served straight from Sysco. The soup was absolutely not homemade. My salad tasted like it could have been premade. My boyfriend’s sandwich was basic.

Very good food. Had Thai chx salad...very crunchy and fresh, advised staff i felt there could be more chx--there was minimal and very finely threaded in with the salad. For dinner had the small Harvest salad with salmon and additional charge for heated bread and vinegar/oil. Was expecting cooked salmon piece however flaked cold salmon, still tasty. Paired great with Pinot Grigio. Love the eclectic rooms with local artwork.

Steak salad had steak that was wayyy overcooked.What pushed me over the top was looking at the itemized receipt and SEEING after I signed a 20% tip that they charged me a “non cash charge” of $1.77Tell me in advance! Don’t try to sneak it by us! I would have GLADLY paid cash. Won’t be back.
Beautiful and fun place for dinner. Definitely make reservation: the weather was cold and seating was inside only. Not many tables so reservations are a must. My hubby and I split the sausage lasagna. It was good with beautiful marinara sauce and delicious Parmesan but the sausage itself was a bit bland and could have done better with some more spices and flavor. We also had the beet salad: delicious warm cubes of red beets with arugula, nuts, goat cheese. Very nice! I ordered a glass of Pinot Noir Rose which was not what I liked at all, Chris our server was so sweet to bring me a Chardonnay instead. I was impressed with the ambiance and the service, a little less so with the main course. But so worth it when in Sisters! Beautiful cocktails list as well!

Comfortable environment. I love sitting out on the patio during the summers. In the winter, inside seating is cozy. Nice bar and environment/vibe. Everyone is friendly. Call to reserve in advance for dinner other wise, show up and enjoy a cocktail and possibly get seated. Food is good. I clean my plate each time. Good selection of wines.

Ordered take out after a log hike. Kellan took my order and was super helpful and efficient. I ordered the seasonal steak salad which was perfect and the Brussel sprouts and bacon starter. My food was ready right on time and they were lovely and gracious as I packed up my to go order and got back on foot back to my house. I would return for sure.

Great food, great service, nice ambiance. Will definitely come back!
Unbeatable atmosphere, usually excellent service, great drinks, good food (a bit difficult for folks with particular nutritional needs or food allergies--lots of dairy and pasta). I love the artichoke dip, steak salad, berries and cream dessert, halibut, and meatballs. Sitting outside on a nice summer evening is truly a joy.
