I first posted a review on La Costa Azul back in May of last year; it’s the Mexican restaurant up on Bend’s north side, on the corner of Empire Boulevard and Layton Avenue. We’ve been there a few times since then, most recently last night for dinner; here are some … Continue reading
– With schools closed today and snow everywhere and much of the town on lockdown (not really—but the police are urging people to stay off the roads), I’m wondering how that will affect the Bend WebCon 2 going on downtown today (from 11-3). I won’t be there either way, but … Continue reading
We had lunch at the new Decoy Bar and Grill yesterday (read The Source’s review here), and I was impressed. I won’t go as in-depth as The Source did, but I will agree with their assessment that they have one of the best burgers in town (if not the best). … Continue reading
What with all the new restaurants opening up around here lately (seriously, downtown seems like it’s infested with ’em), I didn’t notice that the Decoy Bar and Grill had opened; it’s the new restaurant on the corner of Bond and Greenwood.

Friday we had lunch at The Village Grill, the new restaurant/sports bar occupying the former Grove space, downtown. Quick summary: I liked it well enough, my wife didn’t much care for it. Service was good, and quick; our lunches were out to the table quicker than we’re used to. I … Continue reading
