Best Restaurant: Wild Rose –
Chef and owner Paul Itti’s menu is a never ending melange of flavors at Wild Rose. Featuring Northern Thai-style dishes inspired by Itti’s grandmother’s cooking, Wild Rose elevates casual ethnic cuisine to a subtle artform. The formula has been so successful that Itti may be opening a second location in Bend, proving that, when it comes to Thai food, you can’t have too much of a good thing.
