Coorie Restaurant at Tetherow: A Guide to Fall Fine Dining

"What I'm really trying to do and establish with this restaurant is more of a community connection," Executive Chef Tanner Hansen told The Bulletin when Coorie opened at Tetherow in mid-August. "The word, 'coorie,' itself means nesting and gathering around, and so I'm trying to tie that message into the Bend community."

Taken together, the name and the timing say something about Tetherow's evenings. Much of the resort's social calendar lived outdoors this summer. The Wednesday Party on the Patio series ran through August 19. Coorie opened just as that season was ending. It sits in a room with views of the golf course and the Cascades, and its name is a Scottish word for nestling in. For people who live a short walk or drive from 61240 Skyline Ranch Road, that changes what a Tetherow evening looks like from October on.

The room that sat dark

Coorie moved into the space that used to be Solomon's. According to The Bulletin, Solomon's closed almost three years before Coorie opened. The resort now counts Coorie as its fourth restaurant and the only one that does fine dining. For most of the time since Solomon's closed, a sit-down dinner at Tetherow meant The Row, the Scottish-inspired pub. The Row remains the everyday option.

The Scottish name fits the resort's links-style identity. The Bulletin described Coorie as embracing "the spirit of the Scottish-inspired resort." In The Source, food writer Donna Britt called the room "relatively small, yet somehow spacious," built from natural materials, mountain light and open sightlines. She also noted that it gets a bit loud once every table is full.

A kitchen with its own farm plantings

The most distinctive thing about Coorie happens before any food reaches the dining room. Hansen trained in classical French cooking and has 17 years of experience. He plans to source from Central Oregon farms, ranches, fisheries and purveyors whenever he can. He has also partnered with several local farms to grow microgreens and mushrooms specifically for the restaurant.

He joined the board of Central Oregon Locavore, a nonprofit grocery that stocks local ingredients and is backed by a coalition of farmers and business leaders. In The Bulletin, Nicolle Timm-Branch, the group's executive director, spoke plainly about what that means for diners:

"You might pay a little bit more, but what you're going to get is an incredible product. We need more restaurants like that who are really committed to make this local."

Hansen describes a gap he has seen since arriving in Bend. Chefs visit the farmers market to pick up a few items for specials, he said, not to buy produce in the quantities a restaurant runs on. His view is that a luxury resort can give local growers a steady source of revenue.

This matters for neighbors who never book a tasting-menu evening, because the sourcing doesn't stop at Coorie's door. In The Bulletin, Hansen said, "We are sourcing local products for our other public restaurants as well," and called Coorie the "flagship" that puts a face on the farms behind it. So the same farm relationships that supply a halibut entree at Coorie are also supposed to reach the kitchens serving a weekday lunch at The Row.

What's on the plate, and why August's menu is a snapshot

Tetherow describes Coorie's food as seasonal Pacific Northwest cuisine. The late-summer menu The Source reviewed reflected that season. It included a beet carpaccio with burrata, pistachio butter, stone fruit and granola, and a Snap Pea Gimlet made with house snap pea syrup. Dishes built on stone fruit and snap peas belong to August. A menu built this closely around what farms are harvesting is likely to change as the weeks pass, so treat these dishes as examples of the kitchen's approach, not a fixed list.

Here are some of the dishes from that review and Tetherow's posted menu:

• Starters: Hamachi crudo with red radish, jalapeño, orange supremes and tamari mignonette; a Rainshadow Farms spring roll with baby gems and house peanut sauce; grilled cauliflower elote.
• Entrees: Foragers Short Rib Pave with locally foraged mushrooms and Yukon Gold potato pave; Local Foraged Herb Pesto Pappardelle; a Local Mushroom Vol au Vent; Pacific Northwest line-caught halibut.
• The Butcher's Block: cuts ranging from a Japanese Wagyu New York Strip to a Cedar River Farms Tomahawk Ribeye, plus a Snake River Farms Filet with XO bordelaise.
• Dessert: a Butterscotch Budino made with Macallan 10-year butterscotch, dark chocolate and salted caramel. Britt wrote that it "stole the show."

The Source reported these prices in late August. Cocktails start at $17, and starters run $16 to $25. Entrees range from $28 for the pappardelle to $145 for the Tomahawk, and desserts cost around $15. The review singled out the $46 short rib as a relative bargain next to the $68 filet. For locals, the pappardelle or short rib with one cocktail makes a very different bill from a steak night. Both happen in the same room, with the same view.

Four nights at Coorie, seven at The Row

The schedule is what separates Tetherow's venues in the fall. Coorie serves dinner Wednesday through Saturday, 5 to 8 p.m. It welcomes local visitors as well as resort guests, recommends reservations, and seats walk-ins when there is room. Early coverage in The Bulletin listed a 9 p.m. close, but Tetherow's own page and The Source's review both give 8 p.m.

The table shows a clear split. On Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, and after 8 p.m. on any night, The Row is the dining room. It opens at 7 a.m. for a Scottish breakfast. Its current menus include pub classics such as Scotch eggs and burgers, and a late-night menu starts after 9 p.m. The Café also serves snacks poolside at the heated outdoor pool, where Tetherow notes that hours vary by season. Tetherow hasn't posted a closing date for the Patio Bar. Its page describes the bar only as a seasonal outdoor venue, so check with the resort before you plan an October drink there.

The golf calendar will shape the clubhouse over the next few weeks. Tetherow's 2026 tee-time page lists October 6 and October 16 as scheduled course closure days. The resort's general guidance puts golf availability from April 1 to November 1. As the course empties, Coorie's windows will look out over fairways heading into winter.

When the evening wants a cart instead of a tablecloth

Coorie covers the top of the price range. The west side's newest casual option opened a few minutes away on Century Drive. Base Camp is a food-cart pavilion and taphouse from the owners of Powder House, and it opened to the public in July at 319 SW Century Drive. KTVZ describes it as a two-story taphouse and pavilion. Inside and out, it combines food carts, indoor kiosks, a full bar and 36 taps.

Base Camp's site lists 12 cart partners:

1. P53 Fresh
2. Chonie's Pizza
3. Jazzy Joe's
4. Pho 88
5. I Love Ceviche
6. Mundrelli's
7. El Taquero
8. Let's Roll
9. Luckey's Woodsman
10. Kove
11. Thaipas
12. Southern Accent

It's open daily from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m., with happy hour from 2 to 5 p.m. on weekdays. That schedule fills in around Coorie's. Base Camp is open on the three nights Coorie is closed, and it has indoor space for when the weather turns. With Coorie, The Row and Base Camp, a Tetherow household now has three distinct kinds of evening within a short drive.

The chef behind Coorie put the aim in plain terms. The restaurant is meant to showcase what Central Oregon grows, and to be a place to gather close to home once the weather turns cold. A Wednesday table at 5 p.m. is the simplest way to see how that works.
