Great experience at The Drake. We were able to get in fairly easily for dinner Sunday night but the restaurant was packed. We sat on the patio and enjoyed the nice weather and people watching. Kale salad, fried chicken, and fish of the day were all good. Service was good and attentive. Kitchen was a bit backed up but we weren’t in a hurry!
We went to a stylish bar with a long counter, booth seats, and outdoor seats. When we arrived in the evening, most of the seats were already reserved, so I recommend making a reservation if you want to go there. We ordered Pork Bossam, Miso Cured Cod, and Buttermilk Fried Chicken. The pork belly in Pork Bossam was very soft and had a unique flavor that was absolutely delicious. The fried chicken was also soft, and the cod was a light flavor with almost no miso flavor, which I thought went well with the soba. The staff was very friendly and pleasant. Overall, we had a great time at this bar. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was perfect for a night out. I would definitely recommend this bar to anyone looking for a great place to eat and drink.😊✨
DeliciousI Delicious! Delicious! The Strawberry Salad with Pork belly. Also, the Buttermilk Fried Chicken. Yummy. Fish-of-the-day were delicious Scallops. Pair those entrees with a margarita, and they are all winners. Happy I found DRAKE-Downtown. ☺️
Went two days in a row because it was amazing. They dont have a lot of menu options but what they do prepare is amazing. If you're in town I recommend stopping by.
This place was great. Also they had the Manmosa which I love. Also the food was good. Highly recommend
Great little pace in downtown Bend. Food was excellent! Had the Caramelized Carrot Dip as an appetizer and had the Drake Burger for meal. Both were great. I also enjoyed the Tropic Spice cocktail...yummy!
Cause it was hot and we had to wait a little the waiter hooked us up with some free dessert. We got the donuts. So good!
The environment was cute (kind of a diner with some sophistication) but the AC was non-existent so it made for a very warm experience. Won't go again until the weather cools down...but we will go again!
We drive thru Bend twice a year for about 8 years and have eaten at DRAKE almost every time. It’s a small room and it can get noisy but it’s a friendly space. This visit we both had the flat iron and it was cooked perfectly as were the asparagus - still crunchy. The pimenton aioli was terrific and added a real punch to the patas bravas which were somewhat dry and overcooked. The CdR Villages was lovely and a perfect accompaniment to the steak. Friendly, competent service and a kitchen that was firing on all cylinders. Looking forward to our return visit in October.
Thank you Scott!!! Went to Drake for the first time on a work retreat dinner. There were ten of us, and our server Scott was an absolute delight!!! He was attentive and friendly and checked in on us at the perfect moments. Never too much or too little. The food was fantastic! I shared a couple of dishes with my coworkers and it was all good, but I will say the duck was my favorite! I only wish I had been able to try more of the delicious cocktails! I guess I'll just have to come back!!! :) thank you to everyone at Drake. Especially Scott. P.S. sorry we all started hanging spoons from our noses.
This is a very cool place to eat. It was super busy, yet the staff was very polite and attentive. Only place left to sit was the counters by the grill, so it was actually cool to see your .eal being prepared. The food was delicious. Our group ordered lunch and breakfast items, and we were all pleased. Highly recommended.
Cozy & warm spot for dinner. We had the pan fried fish special with carrots and creamed spinach and it was delicious. Their mushroom burger dish was 2/5 however. Very greasy, messy and not very flavorful.
For a busy little restaurant in bend this was the perfect spot for a date night in bend with my husband! The hostess was so welcoming and the service was the best we’ve had in a long time. The vegetable lasagna was so flavorful and delicious. 10/10 we will be back again!
The wait staff is amazing. Started the evening with their soup which was a mushroom puree with coconut milk and some amazing seasonings (not sure what they were) and crispy Brussels. The Brussels were sweet with spicy jalapeno flavor( a combination we've never had with it before) although good we probably will never order them again. The soup definitely will.
My wife ordered a ny strip steak 🥩 (medium) and while it was cooked perfect inside the outside was charred so bad that we let them know.
We were pleased that that fixed the order and we also ordered another item as well.
Major props to a restaurant that is willing to make things right and I'm glad we came here. (at first I was started to get discouraged)

My team and I visited Drake while on a work retreat and we had a wonderful experience! Not only were the food and drinks delicious but the service from our server Scott was impeccable! He was the perfect balance of attentive but unobtrusive. He provided exceptional wine service that wowed us all and always kept our glasses full. We were an energetic (at times chaotic) group of ten that I’m sure would intimidate less experienced servers but he was an absolute professional through and through!
Thank you Scott for your patience and your attention to detail! We will be raving about our experience at Drake for a long time to come because of you!
Always have had good experiences here all around. The manager (and rest of staff) on 10/25 were incredibly accommodating when my group was late for our reservation. Thank you for everything...will be back soon.

Excellent dinner and even greater service! My fiancé and I both enjoyed the atmosphere and quality in both our meals, drinks - the staff was genuine and so friendly. Will definitely be back next time we are in Bend!
Drake Restaurant right across the Best Bridal Shop Downtown Bend on Walls Street a neighbor to Bend Oregon Store, Mondo Pizza and Oas Skin Beauty Shop downtown Bend.
I made reservations for my girlfriend and I’s anniversary and WOW! To start, they had a sign wishing us a happy anniversary waiting for us at our table. The cocktails were absolutely delicious and balanced. We then started with the Brussels sprouts. Then I got the pork chop and she got the baked rigatoni. These dishes were flawless and absolutely scrumptious.
Last but not least our server and her team were stellar. She was friendly, quick, patient and prompt. Her team also did a great job assisting her when needed, from the bartender to the other servers. We will definitely be back and this is a great spot to celebrate a special occasion. Thank you, Drake!
