The Best Restaurants and Bars in Sunriver, Oregon | Eater Portland

"Executive chef Scott Phillips recently took over the kitchen at South Bend Bistro after 14 years at the restaurant. Continuing the bistro’s tradition of excellent fine dining, Phillips has an expert touch, mixing subtle flavors that diners can sample in the North Atlantic lobster dip combined with fresh herbs, parmesan, and spring onion. In the summer, a light-handed drizzling of lemon beurre blanc covers the pistachio-encrusted halibut sitting layer on a medley of corn, red bell peppers, and asparagus atop a delicate potatoes pavé and Anaheim corn puree — each layer complements the next. While many diners won’t order chicken when they go out, don’t miss the South Bend Bistro’s crispy skin chicken breast with creamy gratin dauphinoise potato. It’s a cinter game-changer." - Barb Gonzalez
