My wife and I will be in these two cities on vacation in early October on Monday and Tuesday nights respectively.

We are searching for recommendations for FINE dining. We travel to EAT.

So far we have come up with Gasperetti's Gourmet Restaurant in Yakima and Pine Tavern Restaurant in Bend. We know about Birchfield Manor in Yakima, but they do not serve dinner on Mondays.

Please send suggestion for dinner in these two places.

Thanks.

Personally, I'd go to Grant's Microbrewery and see how many pints of Scotch Ale I could substitute for a meal.  Don't they serve pub-grub there? Jim Bird

OH but I must say you should take a short drive to Zillah and go to El Ranchito. I'm not sure I'd call it FINE dining, since its cafeteria style, but man oh man, its the real thing as far as I'm concerned. Have a cheese enchilada (they do the sauce Right, IMO) also the tacos are wunnerful, wunnerful. PLUS added bonus you can take home some of their lovely tortillas, etc. YUM.

The Deschutes Brewery in Bend serves good food and excellent beer. I think it's on Bond Street (certainly in the centre of Bend).

I can recomend several Fine restaurants in my home town of Bend, Or.

Best is either "Coho Grill" on Fargo Lane (address unknown)

or "Rosette" in downtown Bend. Another great and unusual place is "Cafe

Rosmary" also in the downtown area. There are others but if you really

love "fine dining" any of these three will not disappoint you.

Let me know what you think of them.

After posting my menu to the list once yesterday and once this morning, it still hasn't shown up. So this time I'll try the cut and paste version. Doing it this way has lost all the fonts and formatting. The real menu is done in a font called "Hog Bold". The menu is centered instead of left to right as shown here. Also missing is the large logo just above where it says "Take out/Drive-Thru" It is circular and says "Benny's Bar-B-Q Southern Style Wood Pit Cooking" Please critique it <or praise>. If you feel something is missing you are probably right. I will be doing a daily special and at least one extra side a day as a special. The menu is folded in half so I put lines in between each facing so you know where each page ends.

   <Large Logo Here>

Take out/Drive-Thru
Monday- Saturday  7 a.m.-8 p.m.
Sunday            10 a.m.-6 p.m.
