Rendezvous Grill

Staff are warm and personable. The food is fantastic. What a great date night spot. We had the Surf & Turf and everything was cooked to perfection. We even ordered more of their Yukon gold mashed potatoes as a side because we weren't ready for the experience to be over. The apple cider cheesecake is my new favorite cheesecake. It was a very busy night and the kitchen quickly triaged to accommodate both large and small parties. The dining room got loud but it was mainly because they were packed and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. Now, I need to check them out for lunch because dinner was so good!

Amazing experience here. Vast menu with something for everyone. The Wagyu burger was by far one of the best burgers I’ve had in a long time. Met the chef/owner, who was extremely nice! Dessert was an apple crisp, made was from a recipe handed down from his grandmother which was incredible.

We stopped in here on Friday night. It wasn’t busy and we were seated outside quickly which seemed all great. We put in the following order: 3 specialty cocktails, fried artichokes, small Caesar salad. Entrees: Mac and cheese, steak dish, ravioli dish. Drinks came quickly with apps not far behind. Apps seemed fine, salad was nothing special. Cocktails were terrible, poor balance (pomegranate margarita) or ingredients (cucumber refresher thing). Then we waited. For an hour. No one checked in (not even water) and we eventually went inside to ask about an update. If they forgot our food we were fine closing out. They assured it was on the way. Eventually it showed up and it was not worth the wait. Mac and cheese insanely bland. Zero salt added. Equivalent of hospital food. Ravioli was swimm

We stayed in Welches for Christmas and went here for Christmas Eve. OMG! This was hands down the best restaurant food I've had in Oregon. I'm very picky about my garden burgers and usually end up taking the patty off the bun and just eating the bun. Their quinoa garden burger was phenomenal. So good. The salad was so simple but amazing! Their sweet potato fries tasted like they came from heaven. They had a maple reduction on it that was incredible. My goal will be trying to recreate that until I can make it back for another visit next year. Wow! Everything was spectacular! We did have to wait a bit for the food but it was well worth it and they have beautiful paintings to look at while you wait!

The halibut cheeks special were okay and warm (not hot) with plenty of extra vegetables without an upcharge. The wagu burger was chewy (how does that happen) and well-done, not medium rare as ordered. The sweet potato fries were hot and crispy. The bread (when provided after asking for it) had nice crusty with soft inner bread was tasty. We were asked if we had a reservation when we arrived at about 6:30, which we didn't. Yes there were only a few tables available, but they emptied within 15 minutes. It took an hour to get our food, which was primarily warm, not hot. The waitress was personable. We have been going there on and off for the last 20 years. The change in ownership for the restaurant does not appear to have done it any favors.
