"Situated in a quaint cottage on busy Galveston Avenue, Ariana has been the cornerstone of fine dining in Bend for 18-plus years. Husband-wife duo Andrès and Ariana Fernandez have continually created refined food with an understated complexity. Servers bring creative dishes with the utmost professionalism: For example, squab here arrives dramatically presented under a smokey glass dome, paired with a balanced, surprisingly delicate fois gras jus with chanterelles and butter potatoes. Order off the menu or put yourself in their hands with the chef’s tasting menu. Reservations open at midnight 30 days out, or walk-in diners can eat at the bar." - Barb Gonzalez
