Fodor's Expert Review ōkta
While most McMinnville restaurants exude the same laid-back atmosphere found across the Willamette Valley, this dark, high-end spot cranks up the formality with its ever-changing prix-fixe menus. Dishes are created using ingredients grown, raised, and caught in the area and a solid, predominantly local wine menu, with nonalcoholic pairings available for those who'd rather not partake. The open kitchen allows guests to get a glimpse at their meals being made, while plates and wall sconces crafted by Oregon potters add a charming local touch. Just be aware that they are unable to accommodate gluten-free or dairy-free diners.
