The Blacksmith Restaurant: Reviews & Ratings
Went for our 12 year together anniversary. The Blacksmith never fails. Started with crab cakes and the cheese plate. I'll post pics, AMAZING. I had the filet with onion bacon jam and the blue cheese butter. Steak was cooked to perfection. I ate maybe a 4th of my dinner, appetizers were filling. Took it home, had it for dinner the next evening, still surprisingly wonderful. My husband had the pork chop special with mustard sauce. I am not a fan of mustard, had a bite and it was the perfect amount of mustard without being overwhelming. We try to go to new places for our dates, but it's hard not to continue to go to the The Blacksmith because you know it will be top notch.
The Blacksmith is always wonderful! It’s one of my favorite restaurants in Bend, if not THE favorite. I always like to sit at the bar whether I’m having a drink or not, and the filet is always fantastic. Oddly enough, this is the third time that the tuna pokey appetizer wasn’t good. It was more grayish than pink or red, and it had a funky smell. Oh well! I actually got the hamburger this last visit and I'm still thinking about how juicy and delicious it was! And we were there on a Sunday so it's happy hour all day and the burger was only 22. Worth every penny! The atmosphere, the attentive, kind servers and the delicious main courses make this a 5 star rating for sure! Highly recommend, just makes sure the ahi is fresh!
All the steak knives here match the style of Count Dooku’s lightsaber from Star Wars. I don’t understand why this restaurant would choose to put Count Dooku themed steak knives at all our plates! I think a dark saber steak knife would’ve made sense because this place is called the Blacksmith and they could’ve made a reference to the blacksmith from Mandalorian and more Star Wars fans would understand the reference since Count Dooku is a bit more obscure.
The food here is amazing it comes out stunning and tastes exquisite! Brooke, the bartender makes delicious cocktails while giving great service! We will absolutely be back, the caesar salad is the best I've ever had! My last visit I brought a friend who had never been there and she was also very pleased. We had a couple craft cocktails, I really liked the Thai coconut martini drink. Everything was timed really well by our server and came out hot and fresh. The Mac and cheese is a staple here, definitely try it with crab! So good!
Good Welcoming workers. Greeting us with warm acknowledgement. Food tasted good. I can back again. I feel it should be a semi formal to form wear. This place is really nice and fancy. For my opinion.
It was my girlfriend’s birthday and we were in Bend for a beautiful and wonderful weekend getaway. I researched steakhouses and I chose the Blacksmith for birthday dinner. When walking into the restaurant you are instantly greeted and it feels like you are in a very classy restaurant but not too classy... The decor is very steakhouse setting, high chairs, white cloths, was perfect. We ordered an appetizer, we both had steaks which grilled to perfection. My girl and I each had drinks that were mixed amazingly. We are both foodies, we love going to steakhouses for special occasions or just whenever we travel, both of us agreed that Blacksmith was one of our top 5 that we have been to. So I (we) definitely would recommend this to anyone traveling or visiting Bend and I for sure would go back when I am in town and have the time... Thank you for an amazing dining experience
We had a wonderful birthday dinner at the Blacksmith. Started out with the crab corn dogs, what a tasty surprise. We followed them with a salmon filet and shrimp pasta, both were excellent. Finished the evening with the bread pudding, highly recommend getting it with the bacon crumbles. Our server Austin was great and the entire staff was friendly and attentive. We'll definitely be back, next time to try one of the steak options.
Food, atmosphere, cocktails and service were stellar! Best night out in ages, this restaurant is a must try! Flavors were on point and the cook on proteins perfection.
