Progress report — Bend’s 900 Wall restaurant is scheduled to reopen toward the end of May, according to dining-room manager Derek Brendle, one of several partners in the business. The restaurant closed in November for maintenance work, intending to reopen in early 2016; when severe plumbing problems were discovered, a major renovation became necessary, Brendle said. Building inspectors have given 900 Wall a clean bill of health following damage repairs, he said. 900 NW Wall St., Bend; www.900wall.com, 541-323-6295.
