Bar RBC

This visit was a last minute pivot and a very pleasant surprise! My fiancé and I meant to dine elsewhere and found our destination closed. We popped into Bar RBC hoping for a quick drink and a bite to eat before our 7pm show at the Tower Theater. We lucked out , the host offered us a spot upstairs at a community table but knowing we didn’t have time for a full dinner before the show we hesitated and he quickly suggested a small table adjacent to the bar, it was the perfect spot to grab a drink and a quick bite to eat. We settled on the charcuterie board, a beer and an old fashioned. The food was excellent as was my drink. The staff was friendly, up beat, knowledgeable and incredibly accommodating. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We will definitely visit them again, though next time with a reservation. I am very much looking forward to spending more time there exploring their menu. Bravo! Well done. I would definitely recommend this spot to anyone looking for an elevated dining experience.

My wife and I had our anniversary dinner here and it was beyond expectations. Really friendly and helpful staff. Waiter, busser, and sommelier work as a well oiled team. We could not have asked for a nicer experience.

Visited this place with great expectations and you know what that does to you… though it is definitely a great choice for a nice dinner / date night! My date had a great time reading the wine list and chatting with the somm. You’d have fun if you are a wine nut. The somm offered - on the house - dry sherry which really was beautiful. Thank you. The food review - the prune and foie gras combo is very unique and innovative. The pork chop is really spectacular - nicely brined, pink and tender, and bursting with flavours. Nice char on the outside. The octopus salad is just bursting with flavours. Cod fritters are nicely done. Grilled octopus is very forgettable. We brought our own wine though would love to try their cocktails next time - what a list of unique concoctions! The only thing that could do with some improvement - the table is just too low. We sat upstairs on the sofa seats built into the wall. Sure, it makes for a cosy conversation cos you would lean in very close to your date :) tho it is not that fun when eating. Perhaps will opt for a bar seat next time as I work through the cocktail list and revisit the pork chops next time ;)

I think this might be one of my bend favorites! The food was delicious everything we ate had such amazing flavors. The portions were perfect for 2 people. The ambiance was very warm and comfortable. The service was very good our waitress Brooke was very nice and attentive. We can’t wait to come back!

Pretty sublime overall experience, despite a couple tiny missteps with the food. The service, ambience, drinks and the dishes that hit were amazing. The Wagyu beef served on a sizzling salt platter at the table is pretty incredible and worth it for a splurge occasion. Delicious vermouth collection and dessert wines. The charcuterie board is well worth a try for the unusual flavor combinations. Hanger steak and prawns combo also delicious, though the prawns might’ve been cooked a minute more than I like. A green beans with ham dish was disappointing, as was the absence of the corn that we ordered. However, the server made up for that; when the corn came back on the menu and she boxed up a portion of it to go and comped it. The BF ordered a custom Manhattan of the bartenders choosing for his dessert, and it was one of the best Manhattans we’ve ever tasted. I also had a great ice wine for my dessert.

Toro Bravo reincarnated! My wife and I used to LOVE going to Toro Bravo for special occasions before it closed and we were cautiously so excited to try this place! We were blown away! It’s hard to believe that the flavors we have missed were in Bend for so long. We ordered the tomato bread, salted cod croquettes, radicchio salad, potatas bravas, and the burger. The only complaint we had was that the burger was just a little overcooked. Otherwise perfect! Whenever we come back to Bend, we have already made a pact to come here every time!

Perfect date night. My wife and love this place. It has a great vibe, food, drinks, and service.

Great experience at Bar RBC. Tapas are my jam, and they have a great selection that is not unlike what one could have whilst in Spain. I would recommend any of the dishes we tried, and would go back to try again without hesitation. Nice, knowledgeable staff and high quality

Bar RBC is a Spanish Tapas spot that is the sister establishment to the steakhouse Rancher Butcher Chef. Upon entering, we were greeted by the host. It is dim inside with lots of wood accents, giving it a cozy vibe. There is patio seating as well as a second floor with more tables. Came here on a Saturday evening with no reservation and was told it would be a 1 hour and 20 minutes wait. We were not in a hurry, so we agreed and were added to the waitlist. While we were looking at the menu, the host mentioned that some bar seating opened up and offered us those. We appreciated that he updated us so quickly and we ended up getting seated without having to wait. Corinne and Kim greeted us when we took our seats at the bar. Corinne was kind enough to walk us through the menu and provide us with recommendations. We ended up ordering a lot of her recommendations and they did not disappoint. We ordered two El Bulli Olives, the Toro Radicchio, Fried Anchovies and Artichokes, Iberico Secretto, and Tarta de Santiago. We also ordered the Pamplemousse Spritz and Strawberry-White Peppercorn Shrub. The drinks were both refreshing. The Pamplemousse Spritz had a good grapefruit flavor that was tart, light, and slightly sweet. The N/A rose added depth to the drink. The Strawberry-White Peppercorn Shrub had a unique flavor profile with the white peppercorn. It was slightly sweet, tart, and some acid, making it well-balanced. All of the food were hits. The El Bulli Olives are a fun play on a dirty martini using spherification. They are flavor bombs that burst in your mouth and were not as bitter as I expected. The Toro Radicchio was flavorful and we enjoyed how the "croutons" were presented as larger pieces of toast with the olive tapenade spread on top versus cubes. The radicchio was blanched first which gave them a nice texture. The Fried Anchovies and Artichokes were amazing. Great fry on both the anchovies and artichokes. They were crispy and not oily. The romesco sauce underneath them was flavorful and there was enough to dip each piece into. The Iberico Secretto tasted better than it looked. The iberico was tender and the chimichurri it came with was herb-forward, but very good. It was more of a paste than a sauce, but the flavor was there. To be honest, I probably would not be able to tell that the meat is Iberico, but we enjoyed it. The Tarta de Santiago is a gluten-free almond and orange cake with whipped cream on top. I was skeptical about it as I have not had the best experiences with gluten-free desserts, but this one so good. The cake was moist and spongy, and we could taste the almond and orange. The whipped cream tasted like homemade whipped cream and it was the perfect sweetness and texture. Overall, giving Bar RBC a 5/5. Service, ambiance, food, and drinks were all great. Value is good too. It is nice that bar seating is full service. Thank you again to Corinne and Kim for their hospitality, and for the host for offering us the bar seats so quickly. Would highly recommend to others looking for a solid spot for food or drinks, and would love to visit again when we are in the area.

Shout out to Corrine and Kim for taking care of us. Thank you Corrine for all the great recommendations! Swung by here after spending a day at Crater Lake National Park. Parking is a bit challenging. Inside the space is a little dark, and it had a nice ambiance. The noise level is a medium. You need to speak up a little but you don't need to shout to be heard. We came without reservations, luckily for us two seats at the bar opened up so we were seated right away. Since it was our first time here we asked Corrine out for some recommendations. She talked through some of the popular dishes and also some of her personal favorites. We ordered... Food - El Bulli Olive: Fun bite if you're an olive fan. Creative gastronomy creation. - Toro Radicchio: Really tasty salad, with great flavors. - Fried Anchovies and Artichoke: Delicious! If you're an anchovies fan, get this dish. One of my favorite bites of the night. - Iberico Secretto: Meat imported from Spain. Great flavors. Drinks - Pamplemousse Spritz: Refreshing n/a cocktail. Definitely would get again. - Strawberry-White Peppercorn Shrub: One of my favorite n/a cocktails I've had to date, would recommend. Dessert - Tarta De Santiago: Solid dessert.

I am not sure what the fuss is about. Look the ambiance is lovely, the staff is attentive knowledge and prompt. When it came to the food I was just underwhelmed. Everything on the menu sounded so good but when you finally tasted it, it was just ok. Got the tuna tartar with potato chips, it was hard to taste anything but the chips. The tartar itself was kinda bland and flavorless. Jamon iberico was tasty hard to mess up delightful sliced ham. Tomato rubbed bread was disappointing, bland tomato paste on wheat bread. Cocktails were lovely though. Was still hungry upon leaving, didn't want to be disappointed by another high ticket. Maybe a drink and a appetizer but I honestly would waste your appetite or money on anything else.

This place has it going on. We were sat at a killer corner table on a busy night and indulged. It's lit to perfection and the playlist is on point. Staff is crazy friendly and sophisticated. Knowledgeable about their menu, which changes seasonally. This place is fantastic. We tried everything we possibly could and got no pics of a pile of dishes, including the pork chop, potato's bravas and corn - all off the hook amazing. Didn't get a photo of my A5 waygu steak after cook either. Too busy eating it. My only advice would be to come hungrier. This place is great and we had an incredible dinner for what was an amazing experience, with the warmest and most welcoming of staff. Don't miss this spot. It's a hidden gem.

Wow wow wow! 5-stars across the board. What an unexpected surprise - delicious global flavors from the Iberian peninsula, tasty craft cocktails and mocktails, sexy vibe and great service. We tried a smattering of plates and two desserts that I'd also recommend. Literally everything is good, and the highlights for me were the strawberry tarragon burrata salad, Ibérico Secretto (Spanish pork version of Wagyu and tasted more like steak than pork), and the Moroccan Spinach. Both desserts were very unique and memorable: Tarta de Santiago and Panna Cotta. And of course the restaurant and the staff had a very Spanish vibe, from the art to their sense of humor. I loved the little snowmen they made outside (see pics). Highly recommend if you want a culinary vacation. Was about $200 for 2 people with a drink each.

One of the best steaks I've had. Perfectly salted and melt in your mouth. We had the non-aged rib eye(s) both Snake River and I forget the other one. We had the burrata and mango salad, asparagus and cauliflower. The cauliflower was the stand out of the bunch, although the burrata and mango salad was pretty spectacular. I liked the creamy barbara balanced with the nut crunch and sweetness of the mango, which was slightly under ripe but full of flavor nonetheless.

At first glance the menu here seemed limited but every dish we had was great. It is a tapas style restaurant with Spanish food. Great vibe and service. My favorite thing I got was the hamburgesa, it's a must order!! So balanced and delicious. It had manchengo cheese, Jamon, and a really yummy sauce, maybe pickles too? Cooked perfectly. This would also be a great date night spot. Would recommend!

I really enjoyed my meal here Sat at the bar and enjoyed the friendly and helpful service from the staff. The Lucky Rabbit cocktail was perfectly crafted and set the tone for everything to come. Started with the French Kiss and Bacon Wrapped Date which are always fantastic and would also be great as a finale in place of dessert. The Imberico Secretto was flavorful and satisfying and the Sautéed Mushrooms were the perfect accompaniment. The shrooms are REALLY good! Finished off with the Panna Cotta. Everything was perfectly prepared and delicious. A few side notes - I saw someone next to me get the scallops... they are TINY. May be disappointed if you get those. Also, I wish the price point was a little lower so more people could enjoy this amazing food. Cost before tip for that meal was $100. For many, that price for one person just isn't going to be reasonable. If you really enjoy a unique meal, it's worth the splurge!

This place was amazing! The cocktails were delicious (lucky rabbit and gin tonic Austin)! We had the octopus and anchovies! The service was great and the atmosphere super fun!

My favorite guy took me out for our first big date post surgery, and we found Rbc Bend Spanish tapas bar. What a wonderful treat. So tasty. Dani, Hayden and Stephanie (the host) were so gracious and made tonight a perfect experience. Thank you. Forever customers you have now. #tapas #datenight #husband #GrilledOctopus #nomnomnom

Amazing food with unique menu options. Great service staff. Cocktails were excellent. Feel good ambiance...beautiful but relaxed feeling. Indoor and patio seating available. Fried anchovies with artichokes were my absolute favorite!

Randomly found this new place on a visit to Bend during the summer. Sat outside, which was more of a lounge seating, so not the most conducive to eating but fine for drinking. Overall, I really enjoyed the food and the way the kitchen prepared what we ordered, things were done well. But be prepared that it's very very expensive. We ordered the octopus that was $27 and it was one tentacle, and the tuna tartare was $24 for what really is a snack. These are all Spanish tapas style so dishes are small, but the price are sort of entree size. Still, I did find the food tasty and service was friendly.

Everything about this place is top of the line. The staff are incredible. The food is to die for. We went for drinks and some small food plates. We got the octopus, the strawberry burrata salad, and the pork chop. I cannot stress this enough: THIS PLACE GETS IT. The flavors, the ambience, the service. RBC and Bar RBC are HANDS DOWN the best places for food and drinks in Bend right now. I am OBSESSED. Thank you RBC and Bar RBC staff for the amazing experiences every single time.

We did not try the food, however the drinks were nothing to write home about. The atmosphere is certainly more upscale restaurant than it is bar and it does not feel like a place I'd like to return with friends for a cozy happy hour.

High quality yummy food, the service is amazing and the vibe of the restaurant is cozy and welcoming

Ridiculously overpriced! Tiny portions (and yes, I understand it's a tapas bar), the food was meh!, and extremely loud...you could not hold a conversation without yelling. To top it off, a line item on the bill was for "Employee Health and Wellness"! WTF??? Will certainly never darken their doorway again. Seems like Bend restaurants are just trying to stick it to the tourists, but we've lived here for over 30 years and can count on one hand the decent and fairly priced restaurants.

Sat at the bar and got a red sangria that was not terrible, and I'm not a red wine person. Price was pretty solid for the other cocktail bars around the area. The ambiance was pretty on the money. Service wasn't bad either, they were pretty friendly there.

Incredible food and service! Knowledgeable staff and friendly owner. Try their apricot liqueur made in house.

Second time here, both great experiences. Great steaks, drinks, service. Had the Kansas City and the Teres Major, both excellent but the Kansas City edged out the Tweres slightly, can't go wrong with either. Great drinks and service, nothing but good things to say about RBC!

Great service! Overpriced! Too much ice in the drinks! The food was tasty but small portions for the price. Health and wellness tax. The place had an empty cold ambience,

Fun vibe if a bit loud. Would recommend sitting at the bar and getting the burger. Their appetizers and sides are really the stars here. They cook a fine steak, but may not be worth the price.

Walked into the beautifully designed and well thought out Bar RBC and had a stellar experience the entire time! We were seated at the bar, and ordered two great drinks off the cocktail menu. The Quixote was the standout but both were great. The bartenders were so friendly and helpful--probably our favorite part of the experience! Also need to throw in that every glass was sparkling, every bottle of liquor and wine was clean and behind the bar was impeccably arranged. We ordered the charcuterie board which was generous for the price and loved everything on it. The other standout were the salted cod fritters, which were little cod nuggets on a complementary sauce. Not sure what it was but it worked! We went home happy and talked about it in the morning. We WILL be back and are so thrilled this is an option in downtown Bend.

Great spot with fantastic drinks & food, attentive service. We ordered the pork skirt steak with chimichurri to share - perfect, delicious shareable dish for 4 for Happy Hour. Love their take on a martini. Can't wait to return!

I went to Bar RBC last night for the first time. As expected, because I've been to RBC in Northwest Crossing, a bunch of times, it was fantastic. A few of the menu items were the same as the other location but most were different and everything we ate was fantastic!

Super friendly service, delicious tapas with some exciting twists, and a very unique take on a gin martini that I'm looking forward to having again!

I get it, it's expensive so be prepared to drop some bucks if you want a full evening including drinks and dining. Knowing that going in, it's amazing! My most recent experience was with a party of 5 - we ordered a lot of things and nothing disappointed. The server had excellent descriptions of the dishes and recommendations for our group.

New place but ridiculously overpriced. Ordered two apps (one piece each which was not shown on our menu but the server told us), then 1 tapas and the scallop main to split. The scallop main was $38, so we assumed we'd each get a few scallops. There were TWO of the smallest scallops I have ever seen. We asked the server about the portion size and she replied that they were fresh scallops from Monday. It was Saturday, so not fresh. We were laughing so hard we ate our "main", got the check, and had dessert and drinks at another place. The food was delicious, but for 90$ we got 2 cocktails, 1 bacon wrapped date, one tiny skewer that was 3" long maybe with two tiny peppers, two olives, and two tiny anchoviy-type fish (cannot remember the name), maybe 1 cup of bravas, and two tiny scallops. It was a snack, not a meal. Bets are this place won't make it until the end of the year.

My partner and I dined here last night and had a wonderful experience. The hostess was very kind and was able to get us seated in under our 30 minute estimated wait time. The restaurant itself has a fun lively feel - it sort of has the vibe of a NYC restaurant. Our server was so friendly and accommodating. He made great recommendations - we wound up going with the bacon wrapped dates, the torchon, the tuna tartare, the basque talo, and the skirt steak. For our drink we went classic and split a pitcher of the sangria. Everything was unique and delicious. Our two favorite food dishes were probably the skirt steak (some of the best skirt steak I've had in a long time-- super savory with a garlicky chimichurri) and the tuna tartare (the avocado escuma was a great addition to the dish). We would definitely come back, not just for the food but for the entire experience!
