After a very disappointing experience at Cork the previous night, my fiance and I ventured out to Blacksmith. We got there at 4:30pm so only the lounge was open, but the Ambiance was great, if a little pretentious. The server / bartender, however, was super down-to-earth and let us taste a couple of different wines. My fiance was stoked to see that they not only had ceviche, but a ceviche MENU. He ordered three different kinds and LOVED all three. I'm a vegetarian and ordered the roasted pepper pizza ---with the peppers, carmelized onions, smoked cheese, ultra thin crust & I don't know what other magical ingredients it is NOT to be missed. Go during happy hour like we did and try a lot of food without breaking the bank!

How could you not love this place. The service is excellent because of the caring and knowledgeable people who greet you with genuine and friendly personalities. I feel pampered when I'm at The Blacksmith. The food is to die for good! The new smoker is an excellent addition. I enjoy the consistency that is exercised throughout this establishment and personally rank this as the finest restaurant in Bend. I have visited almost all of the trendy little joints in town, and with 20 years of food service experience feel qualified to say, they were good but not great. I see The Blacksmith going the extra mile to please. I feel people are used to turn -n- burn / in & out service and not relaxing to absorb the subtle nuances a great restaurant can offer. So turn off your brain and let your servers guide you through this dining pleasure. My guests and I have never regretted it. Bravo Blacksmith!!

Pros: It's all good. Just get here.

Cons: None that I can see.
