We arrived about 15 mins early for our 8 pm reservation. The hostess station was very crowded, but we cut right through and headed over to the uncrowded bar for a cocktail. The attractive bartender knew what she was doing when I ordered a Negroni, and another friend ordered a Rita-tini. Both were made correctly, which isn't that common. Our... more

We were visiting Bend and excited about trying Zydeco after all the great reviews. The restaurant is well located in downtown Bend. The decor is hip and on a Tuesday night in September it was happening with lots of activity. We had an 8 pm reservation and were seated immediately. The menus were delivered promptly by the waitress. The menu... more

Great service with an informative, professional waitstaff. We enjoyed dining on the patio with a bottle of wine and watching downtown Bend go lazily by. The food was simple, almost comfort food in style, but was fresh, local, and showed pride in the preparation. Try the Almond Wet Cake for dessert and don't missed the Pork Tenderloin for dinner. No... more

The evening first started with the hostess accusing my mother in law of making the wrong reservation for the wrong night when 3people were present when she made the reservations and very clearly mentioned the day & date we would be attending-the waitress, pushy and very short, was very abrupt and indecisive especially when it came to the specials. The... more

We had tried this place at their old location and were glad they moved downtown. The atmosphere is great. The service is adequate -they do all the right things- but despite the little visit from the owner, it seems impersonal. The food was hit and miss. My wife's spinach salad was amazing, my Caesar just average. Her Lamb was very... more

Having read the outstanding reviews for Zydeco, my wife and I were anxious to give it a try. The atmosphere is very nice and is definitely worthy of a special occasion. Dinners are accompanied by French bread with an seasoned oil for dipping - very good. I ordered one of their specials for the night which comprised sesame encrusted seared... more

The best restaurant in Bend finally has a location that deserves it. I've always loved this place and my husband and I treat it as our official "special occasion" restaurant. The only thing that bugged me was it's location squished between Burger King and a car lot. And my childhood memories of eating there when it was a Skippers. But... more

We read about Zydeco - and went to try it for ourselves. This restaurant is a must for all who come to Bend. It was a magnificent meal! I had the fall-off-the bone ribs with a delicious bbq sauce and my husband had the pork tenderloin with wild mushrooms in an amazing sauce. Even the mashed potatoes, vegetables, salads, bread... more

This place won "Best of the Best" in Bend last year. I found this out in a ski magazine when we visited the area. We decided to try it. It was absolutely FANTASTIC!!!!! We had the lamb chops and eggplant crepes. Oh my goodness!!! The flavors were so awesome!!! The prices were in the medium range. There were three of... more
