Visited twice in Dec-2013. Food is quite good (outstanding compared to most pub grub) and reasonably priced for what you get; dinner for 2 can be kept under $40. I'd avoid the sandwiches but salads and meat loaf were memorable. Probably the best meat loaf I've ever eaten. Service is very good; the people are great but they are pressed hard when things get busy. Ambiance is OK if you like really large, really new places that try to look like converted warehouses, which seems to be the fashion in PNW brewpubs. Beers are OK, maybe great if you're new to Deschutes, but regardless - they run several taps of stuff you won't ever see at Safeway, and it's definitely worth a taste.
