Reviews For Cowiche Canyon Kitchen & Ice House Bar

The food was fresh, flavorful, texturally interesting and visually appealing, I quite enjoyed my meal, even if the thin cut fries didn't really seem all that hot/fresh to me (the dipping sauces redeemed them). The service was exceptional and the venue is bold and beautiful, open/spacious and jovial/on the louder end.

I only gave it 5 stars because I love the ice house. I was there yesterday on the dinner side of the establishment and I was very disappointed in their “NEW MENU” not a lot to chose from, flavor just wasn’t there. They got ride of their fire cracker prawns which they should have kept.. the steak was very poor quality worst steak I’ve ever had honestly very very dry and rough for a medium rare steak and a ribeye at that. No marbling whatsoever. The pork chop was actually really good I did enjoy that ! Beautiful plating

The food here is AMAZING! I am a foodie at heart and appreciate good, fresh ingredients. The cocktails were recommended and a perfect mix. The food was hot and tasty and I WILL be back for more (: Top fav appetizer was the Ahi Tuna dish (: the shrimp was also phenomenal.

Every year we drive from Bend to Leavenworth and we stop in and CC for either lunch or dinner. It’s by far one of my families favorite spots to dine. If you’re in town or passing through it’s a really special spot!

We were visiting from out of town and stopped by for dinner. Excellent service, our table was touched more than I expected. The menu is small and sufficient, lots of drink options and nice to see local breweries on draught.

Excellent setting. Plenty of seating and a great drink selection. Service was good and the staff had some top notch recommendations. The chicken sandwich was perfect paired with the ahi tuna side. I would recommend a stop here for dinner or lunch.

The prime rib dip was delicious. I couldn't stop eating the fries! The service was good even while they were super busy on Valentine's Day.
