Hear from Our Guests

  • "Since the beginning of our process, Emily was incredible to work with. She answered all of my many questions, remained organized, clear, and was truly excited for our big day. She and Julie, the Chef, went above and beyond for our our party."

  • "We recently brought a group of clients to The Open Door in Sisters for a summer dinner, and it was the kind of evening that made our jobs easy. The staff took the guesswork out of planning, handling every detail so we could simply show up and enjoy the night alongside our guests. The food was outstanding, and the setting had just the right blend of elegance and warmth, the kind of place that makes people linger a little longer over dessert and conversation. We are already looking forward to booking our next event there."

  • "The Rickards and their team make you feel like you are a part of the family from the moment you walk through the doors - not to mention the location is central to downtown Sisters and the restaurant itself is immaculate. From the moment we got engaged, we knew that The Open Door was a MUST for our venue. We dreamed of an outdoor wedding with all of our loved ones, under bistro lights, accompanied by delicious food and drinks and we got exactly that."
