Ariana Restaurant

We love this place for entertaining clients or date night at the bar! The food is incredible. Our server Todd is top notch - friendly, fun, professional, and takes time to get to know the patrons. Try the carpaccio appetizer- it’s SO good! We will continue to come back - it’s a one of a kind gem in Bend.

Kara is da-bomb! I drove three hours from Happy Valley just to eat here—and let me tell you, it was worth every mile. I didn’t stop for fast food because I saw this spot had bone marrow and lamb on the menu. Yes, I planned my whole day around this meal. 😋 From the moment I walked in (in a sweatshirt, flip-flops, and ashy feet, okay?!), the host welcomed me like family—even though they were only taking reservations. That alone deserves a star. 🙌🏾 Now the food… MELTED in my mouth. The timing of each dish was perfection. You get to actually savor the flavors, take a breath, and then enjoy the next plate without being rushed. Everything was fresh, rich, and flavorful. Keto-friendly too! 💪🏾 Zero complaints. The service was kind, patient, and never once made me feel less than—even though I wasn’t dressed like the other patrons. That kind of hospitality matters, especially in areas that aren’t super diverse. If you’re looking for a date night spot or just want to treat yourself to something special, this is it. Add this to your must-try list. The food, the vibe, the people… all five stars from Glitter G!

After a long hiatus, I recently returned for dinner at Ariana and was pleased to find it was good as I remembered. Even for my seat at the bar I made a reservation 30 days in advance. You'd be advised to book early. After the amuse-bouche I started with the Dungeness crab and then the beet salad. Both excellent. Then on to the Halibut for the main. Also excellent. Loved the morels. Enjoyed a couple glasses of Walter Scott pinot noir during the course of the meal. Service and staff professional and friendly. I hope to be back!

I was impressed by the meticulous flavor profiles and carefully curated drink pairings, which included n/a option drink pairings as well as an elevated reserve list too.. This culinary experience stood out as one of the best I've had in Bend, making it an absolute must-visit on a quarterly basis, at the very least. The service was impeccable, and I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of my visit. The setting was notably intimate and semi-secluded, yet adjacent diners were friendly, enabling brief, polite discussions. The restaurant, located in a residential house, was quiet, with muted comments of appreciation for the presented dishes. I merely wish we had an establishment in my current hometown such as this, although I do not believe it would be as highly valued by the type of clientele my town has to offer as patrons. So, for now, I'll be coming back and making it a part of my regular rotation on my quarterly visits.

I'm overjoyed to write this review. From the friendly staff to each perfect meal. It was simply fabulous. The chefs tasting was not only affordable but very filling and delicious. Everything was expertly prepared. This place is a must stop that rivals most Michelin restaurants I've visited.

First time we have been here, and we definitely want to come back next time we are in Bend. The food was fantastic - interesting flavor combinations, perfectly prepared. The service was perfect - they treated us like royalty and yet at the same time like regular people they could relate to. We loved it.

14th Anniversary Dinner. Dining experience we've ever had. We did the chefs pairing menu and food flavors were mind blowing, wife paired with wine and it was perfect. Absolutely delicious with new fun things to try. Water glass was refilled almost instantly, very attentive waiter/servers. Very impressive. Highly recommend.

We were the most excited about Ariana’s when we set up our visit to Bend and it didn’t disappoint. Todd was our waiter. He was great as you’ll see in other reviews. The food was so special and delicious. The accommodated my husband’s garlic allergy easily. Everything was top notch. We will be back when we visit Bend again and talked about how if we were locals we would totally have a standing weekly reservation. Do yourself favor and trust the chefs menu. My husband didn’t go that route because of his allergy and was still super satisfied.
