Has anyone tried the restaurant at the Bend Airport? 3456 Cafe on Powell Butte Hwy.

Fabulous breakfasts with regular menu and some “game” additions. Very
good service and certainly the “extras” are from a fine dining area.
The syrup for the Belgian waffle for breakfast was heated! Ramekins of
butter and real napkins.

Looking for the great hamburger in Bend…I had the Bison burger and a regular hamburger this last week. It was accompanied by delicious sweet potato fries or wedge fries that had a coating on them to “live for.” Out of the way for most, but give it a try. First class chef and owner – and a big surprise at the complete menu. Also, they are having a special Valentine’s Day/Night menu.

Anyone with other suggestions? I’m glad to try new places.
