Tetherow

My husband booked a room for a stay-​cation to celebrate my birthday.
The room was spacious, clean and had an amazing view! The fireplace added a great ambiance and bed was soooo comfortable.
To top things off — the hotel delivered a gift bag with a bottle of wine, chocolates & specialty soap for my Birthday!
We will defiantly recommend Tetherow to any quests visiting Bend.

A friend gifted us a 2 night stay for our wedding before we left for the Philippines. Absolutely LOVED it! They are the BEST place to stay in Bend Oregon. Here is proof. Our first night as we were getting settled in ate supper & wanted to take a bubble bath in their luxurious bath tub. After searching the room for bubbles & coming up empty handed I called the front desk to see if they had any bubbles. They stated no bubbles. I sighed and said no problem 2 mins later our room gets a call and they sent their shuttle driver to town to by Mr. bubbles with their credit card in 30 mins we had a brand new bottle of Mr bubbles at our front door. Awesome right? Another story that happened that night on our way to get supper we approached the building and there was another couple walking to the doors we were a few steps ahead of them but stopped of course to hold the door open for them. They got seated and we waited just a few mins the couple that got seats first approached us in the waiting room & bought us drinks while we waited! This place is not only terrific but it attracts terrific people! Can’t say enough kind words about this place to family & friends. & plan on staying there for our staycations!

Place was amazing. Literally the best hotel room I’ve ever stayed in and I travel regularly. They were extremely nice and accommodating. Go to this place! Now!

We love the Row. Service has always been great. The food has never disappointed and prices are reasonable. Nice beer selection and great views. What more could you want.

Great rooms! The bed was one of the best I have slept in ever! The service was top notch. We really enjoyed having the shuttle service take us out for dinners in town so that we did not have to worry about getting car service.
Make sure to try a drink or two at the bar. They have a great drink menu and the staff is quite friendly.

Beautiful spot. Great service. Nice room, and great that they’re dog friendly. It will be nice when they put the pool in (construction starts this fall). Wish we could have stayed longer.

Ok, Tetherow, I wanted to love you! But for as much money as we paid for a two-​night-​stay, some things should have been very different!
–The room: Mostly amazing. Very nice comfy beds, balcony was great. Nice TV, lots of channels. I wish there would have been a spa tub for that much money, but nice shower & bathroom.
–The service: Mediocre at best. The wait staff at breakfast acted incredibly overwhelmed, and there was hardly anyone there! The food took FOREVER once they actually took our order. It was pretty good once it got to us, kind of still warm.
–No room service?! How can you call yourself a luxury hotel without room service?
–The bartenders at The Row were nice, but again, the food took FOREVER to come, and there was hardly anyone else even there! Why have a late night menu if the kitchen can’t handle it? Decent beer selection.
–Amenities: We were in the middle of trying to close on a house while we were there. Unexpectedly, we desperately needed a fax machine and a computer, neither of which they had available for their guests to use. REALLY? In this day & age? For that amount of money? Please. Ridiculous.
–Overall: VERY OVERPRICED. An insane amount of money to spend for what we got. Hopefully they take the time to read their reviews and change some things. :/

the food is ok but the service is the worse ever. it’s summer and people want to sit on the deck. unfortunately noone seems to service the deck. we lucked out but watched confused table after table waiting for drinks, menus, silverware. been 2 years since we went there and will be 2 more before we go back.

We only spent a night here on a road trip in Central Oregon and loved the place. It’s clean, has great views, and gives an overall upscale feel to it. The golf course is gorgeous.
The only bad thing is that they don’t offer room service. You can order from the two restaurants on site but then you have to go pick it up. Although that’s not a big deal, but when you just check in late in the evening, after a day of traveling and outdoors activities you don’t want to do anything but enjoy a nice drink in the privacy of your balcony.

My husband and I come here almost every weekend for lunch, it’s our favorite casual stop in town. The food is always excellent no matter what you try and they have some of the friendliest staff in town! Love this place!

Would only give one star if food and drinks were not so good. Service was embarrassing. Went here 2 nights in a row thought to give it a second chance, first time we were forgotten about for 45 min. With empty cups. The second time, even worse. Ordered French fries but never received, bar/​resteraunt was 99% empty STILL couldn’t wait on us, or clean a dirty table. The row was the worst service ever received at bar. Bartender felt it was more important to sit at bar and talk with friends for an hour than help paying customers.
Also, shouldn’t have a sign in front that says wait to be seated if your not going to acknowledge anyone who walks in. We ended up sitting at the bar ourselves after waiting for 15 min with no one even talking to us once.

Our experience at Row was mixed at best. We stopped by after checking into Tetherow resort for the night. The drink/​food combo deal was good as was the friendly staff. We paid with a credit card. The negative– when checking out, the same food was charged again to our room. After pointing this discrepancy out, the GM later refunded my account. Just watch what you’re charged.

Happy hour was disappointing due to the noise levels. Until they put in something to control the noise, not worth it. We couldn’t even talk within our own party. Disappointing as the views are great and the restaurant has always been a favorite to take out of town guests.

Went there last night with three girlfriends and had the exact opposite experience of most other reviewers: thought the food was only so-​so and found the wait staff fantastic. (Waiter Donnie was «the bomb»).
What disappointed me seriously was my dinner — a fall celebration called Elk Shepherds Pie. The problem was there was virtually NO elk in it. I felt like I paid $ 16 for mashed potatoes. Had there been about four times the stew underneath all the potatoes, it would have been 1) delicious and 2) worth the money. As it was, it was neither. It came with a salad but the salad had no dressing on it – just lettuce, one slice of cucumber & two little tiny tomatoes.
The other thing that disappointed me was there was no happy hour anything. C’mon — does it hurt that much to give $ 2 off an $ 8 glass of wine for an hour four days a week?
My fellow diners also found their dinners to be sort of hit and miss with the exception of the smoked salmon salad which was deemed delicious. For dessert, we shared a macadamia ice cream which I have to admit was knee-​buckling good. If only I could say the same thing about my $ 16 dinner and $ 8 wine.

I’m docking The Row 2 stars because of the service. We sat down quickly, but took 15 minutes to get menus. We decided quickly what to order and no one came by for some time. I got up to go order food at the bar and at the same time our server rushed out to take our order.
The food was good. We split a caprese flatbread and a cheesesteak. Both were excellent. Our server was very nice and delivered the food quickly, but didn’t refill waters until we were through with dinner.
The view was nice and enjoyed the patio atmosphere, was just irked at the service.

We have been here a few times now. Our first time here was super busy, not a chair left in the place and we still had great service. It wasn’t as attentive or fast but it was nice and cheerful and the food was still cooked to order even with a room full of diners. That was unexpected! We have also been here on slower afternoons the service is a little more personal without a room full of diners. We are impressed by the quality that comes out of the kitchen for how busy this place can get. You also can not be the view or the drink menu!

The Row is a great addition to the casual restaurant scene. We love it as it is close to our house and you can make a very casual evening of it all the way to a more nice evening out. The food is both interesting, creative, and delicious. Great ambiance with nice views of the Cascades.
The service is pretty good but definitely spotty as other reviews have stated. They seem to really fill up on weekends, are understaffed, and the entire staff seems pretty stressed out.
And, while the menu is great, they have been open for quite a while without any real changes to the menu. Overall, a great spot. It would be great to see the service get a little stronger and a few more changes to food on the menu.

This place is great! Love the staff, the food and the scenery. Try the El Torro Grande flatbread. You won’t be disappointed!

Went to The Row last night, got there at 6:30pm, for wine and small plates. Would not recommend it unless you want to wait 20 minutes for someone to take your order for a glass of wine. Another 15 minutes to place an order for food that was never delivered! An hour after we arrived we were still waiting on our food! To make matters worse it was just small plates, we ordered The Huntsman (which is actually a plate of cold meats and cheeses. Yet the kitchen nor our server could manage it!!!
Management at The Row should be embarrassed by the inadequate service. This was our 2^nd attempt at The Row! We can say both times the service was horrible!
At 7:30, an hour after we arrived and we had not seen any food! When we requested our ticket, they offered to «comp» the wine but no apology for the lack of service, etc. We will not go back and certainly will not refer anyone there.

The Row is a new-​ish (as of mid December 2013), casual pub-​styled «all people are welcome» restaurant at Tetherow Golf Club. Just down the sidewalk from and in a separate building than The Bar and Grill at Tetherow Golf Club, The Row ads say this: Food. Drink. Views.
Yep.
Unless you’re on your way to or from Mt. Batchelor for skiing or coming to or from Cascades Lakes hikes in the summer months or going to Tetherow for golf during the season, The Row requires a bit of a pilgrimage trip from east or west sides of Bend. But worth it if our first visit is any indication. In particular if they offer seating on the adjacent outdoor deck in summer. (See Seating.)
VIBE
Very casual,. Unexpectedly spare design. Color palate of Dijon, paprika and black on walls and ceilings with some accents of end cut logs. Tables are paprika colored laminate. Views of Tetherow golf course out the windows. A huge television takes center stage on a feature wall lined with end cut logs. This is where skiers, bikers or golfers stop in and, if today was typical, families on vacation. Come as you are. Fun.
SEATING
High stool seating at the bar and a few tables. As «hooray» comment, maybe 70% of seating is at standard height tables and chairs or banquettes. Noted that during a pretty busy late lunch time, like 1:30 on, when we were in that the tables that filled up first were the standard heights. Several moms with children, families of all ages, construction managers from the hotel project next door, a trio in their ski duds, us… More «hooray» there is enough space between tables to avoid «sardine can» seating of so many other Bend eateries.
The Bar and Grill and The Row are buffered by a lovely outdoor deck between them. When I asked if The Row would be serving on the deck come warmer weather or if Bar and Grill would continue to be only user of that space, the server wasn’t sure. So maybe outdoor seating… let’s hope.
MENU & FOOD
Open at 11a and serving straight through to «close» with same menu used all day. Two sided with lots of options ranging from small plates to salads to burgers and sandwiches to entrees in prices from @$ 7 to $ 19. There are options on menu to please omnivores to vegans to those who follow special diets like paleo or gluten free.
Since The Row shares the kitchen and chef with The Bar and Grill next door, good food there, we expected The Row’s food to be good too. Expectations were met.
We shared goat cheese stuffed jalapeño peppers (roasted not fried, thumbs up) @$ 7 and share a bowl of soup and sandwich combo @$ 12. The kitchen was nice enough to split the latter for us in plating and there was no split fee which we thought was darned nice of them.
Spicy tortilla soup was delicious, although oddly only lukewarm when served. It may have been waiting in the kitchen. (See service.) The BLT sandwich was top notch. We’re choosey about animal protein sources and appreciated the bacon was identified as sourced from Carlton Farms (Oregon producer). Rye bread available here too. Nice.
LIBATIONS
Full bar. Several local beers on tap it seems. Good coffee by local roaster 11R @ $ 2.50 /​cup.
SERVICE
Very friendly but there is work to do.
Two staff on duty on a busy Friday afternoon. First, the bartender who was doing an admirable job tending bar and taking table orders given there was just one server on duty.
She may have been newer to the craft because as friendly as she was there were long periods where she simply disappeared. At least three tables (one of them us) had to get up and wander to try to find her or tag the bartender for something left off the order.
Neither water glasses nor coffee cup refilled. No follow up after food was delivered. (Hence the having to «chase service» described above.) There was a long wait for the food (bartender finally delivered ours). Another long wait between finishing the meal and plate pick up. No offer of dessert was made. That kind of thing.
Two management actions could help. Looks like wait staff could use some training and a little on floor supervising to reinforce skills. Good attitude and friendlly is a big plus here, so skills training should be easy. Also put another wait person on floor so that super efficient bar tender can remain behind the bar most of the time.
THIS N THAT
1) PARKING: The private lot seems generously sized this time of year. But I’ve been at Tetherow at the height of golf season and parking can be tough to come by. Just a heads up.
2) ACCESSIBILITY: Looks like ample accessible parking in the lot, although the majority is at the furthest end of the lot from The Row. Level in the door and throughout. Accessible loos, both «he» and «she». Lots of standard height seating.
3) WIFI: Free.
4) NEIGHBORS: A new small hotel (50 rooms?) is being built next door, associated with Tetherow resort development it should be open by mid April they say.
