The McArthur — Restaurant in Sisters

My husband and I took an out of town work colleague out for dinner on a Sunday evening. We are so thrilled we took a detour from our usual spots in Sisters and Redmond and tried The McArthur. The service was impeccable and the food was impressive. I had the most delightful Cairpirinha cocktail I’ve ever tasted. The most memorable dishes were two starters, the scallop crudo and the risotto croquette; the crudo was sublime and bewitching while the croquettes were comforting and extravagant. We all adored the hazelnut crusted trout. The wild mushrooms and elote succotash were delicious and on par with the quality of everything else we tried.

The atmosphere is sparse which I understand may make food and service the focus, but for me it is confusing; it didn’t reflect the warmth of the owner and staff nor the creativity of the menu. If I were involved in any fashion in this restaurant I would suggest placing a large but minimal and modern flower arrangement in the dining room to add some elegance and relatability to the space which I felt were lacking considering how refined the rest of our experience was.

All in all, dining at the McArthur was an excellent experience. We are looking forward to many...

We went here for our first time first week they were open. They have a little bit of refining to do on ordering enough ingredients to create the dishes (they were out of FIVE of the entrées that we were interested in!) and it took a long time to get our food (roughly 45 minutes) - so don’t be in a rush - but the drinks were really good and the appetizers were really good and actually all of the food was really good. I guess it was good for us to try something outside of our normal comfort zone, but definitely hoping they order enough entree ingredients to be able to sustain a full house so we can try what we really want to on our next visit. Looking forward to see how these guys do and will definitely be back to give them...

My husband and I enjoyed a fantastic dinner and cocktails last night at the MacArthur bar. Chris, the bartender provided excellent service and made fantastic cocktails! Everything that we ordered (the bread and butter, elk sliders, salmon poke stack, phyllo ratatouille rolls, and beignets) was delicious and cooked and seasoned perfectly. The plating and presentation were beautiful, I wish I had taken pictures! The atmosphere in both the restaurant and bar is both elevated and comfortable. We are so glad to have a new restaurant in Sisters with phenomenal food and can't wait to return and try other items...
