The Jackalope Grill

For our girls’ weekend we did it right: Marriott beds, stand-up laughs, and gourmet indulgence at The Jackalope Grill. Let’s just say—by the end of the night we felt thoroughly spoiled and absolutely bougie (worth every bite). The food? Absolute perfection — familiar favorites, but with bold, gourmet twists that make you slow down and savor. The drinks were crisp, balanced, and exactly what we needed after a day of pampering. Even our waitress gave the whole evening a touch of Hollywood—she could have been a young Laura Linney’s twin, and we loved it. ***Gluten-free friends, rejoice: they had thoughtful options for me, and I left full, happy, and symptom-free. They make indulgence feel safe, special, and deliciously bougie.

We had a very nice dinner last night at The Jackalope! The garden is beautiful and relaxing. Sea scallop and bone marrow appetizers are amazing, drinks, duck confit, morel risotto, everything was cooked perfectly! The lemoncello creme brulee and strawberry shortcake were a wonderful way to finish our meals!! Hannah was so friendly and attentive, but in a leisurely way so that we could enjoy conversation and our meals comfortably. Highly recommend The Jackalope Bar & Grill for your next nice meal out!

I’ve lived in Bend for ten years—and I’m kicking myself for not finding this place sooner. I can’t gatekeep this gem or the good time we had. Yes, this post is a scroll,—the food part is coming, I swear. Vibes, this place has got them. Three different dining areas, each setting a whole mood. Bar: Modern & cozy—perfect for catching up or flying solo Main Dining: Dark, moody, mysterious—with tree branches wrapped in twinkle lights. Very “enchanted forest after dark.” Now for the Pièce de Résistance… HAPPY HOUR. 4–6 PM, daily. Anywhere in the restaurant. If you thought the days of tempura-fried green beans and Teres Major steak bites were behind us (don’t make me bang your head 900 times on the WALL—if you know, you know). Add rosemary fries and just surrender. Everything was heaven on the palate. The happy hour menu may be small, but it’s mighty—and totally nails it. (Still can’t believe it runs until 6 PM-yay) We were a party of two and ordered one of everything. Zero regrets. Full and happy. They’ve got a full bar and some seriously thoughtful specialty cocktails—including mocktails, for the sober-curious or the designated driver hero. Yes, it’s a cloth-table kind of place, but it’s super chill and approachable. No need to get fancy unless you want to. I can’t believe my outdated idea of a stuffy fine dining spot kept me away for so long. Jackalope is not that. Perfect for date night, drinks and bites with friends, or celebration. Shoutout to our server Hannah—fun, friendly, and full of insider tips. (Ask about the secret crostini Trust.) I’ll be back. The house-made pappardelle with mushrooms has my name written all over it.

$100+ We had an incredible meal here! The scallops are some of the best in bend, cooked perfectly with a sauce that is to die for. The bone marrow with caviar has a beautiful presentation and was creamy and rich and decadent. The escargot was also delicious. We also had the duck and the mushroom pasta and that pasta was something I’ll be thinking about for a long time. Definitely recommend sitting outside—their hidden patio is such a sweet gem.

Completely blown away by the new menu! The flavors were perfectly balanced, and the plating was a work of art. The service was warm and welcoming, making the experience even better. I also loved their delicious mocktail options! I can’t wait to spread the word about The Jackalope Grill, and we’ll definitely be back!

A truly special dining experience in Bend, I think it’s easy to get caught up in the hype of the overpriced steakhouses. Amazing food and service, I won’t be having date night anywhere else.

I absolutely loved my experience at The Jackalope! The staff made my birthday feel special with their kindness and hospitality which went above and beyond my expectations. Our server was thoughtful enough to surprise me with a glass of champagne to toast with I ordered the French Margarita and the Steak for dinner, my drink was perfect and cute! My food was super yummy and the steak was melt in your mouth delicious! We can't wait to go back to try another item on the menu, it was hard to pick one they all looked amazing. I'm a big fan of ambiance and both inside and outside were great mood settings, again was hard to choose, both were very inviting.
