Mushrooms are the heart of what we do at the Joel Palmer House. We have always endeavored to obtain seasonal and local ingredients and we use many locally produced greens, herbs, and vegetables, some of which come from our own culinary garden. We are frequently inspired by ingredients found in the cuisines of France, China, Thailand, Poland and India, so we call our cooking "freestyle." Our dishes pair well the celebrated wines of Oregon, especially Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris and Chardonnay. Our extensive, Oregon-focused wine list has been awarded the Best of Award of Excellence from Wine Spectator. Of special note, The Joel Palmer House ranks as one of Oregon's finest historic homes and is on the National Register of Historic Places and the Oregon Historic Register. Built in 1857, the house is Dayton's oldest standing structure. When weather permits, guests can enjoy their dinner on our outdoor patio, soaking in the last rays of sunshine in the heart of Oregon Wine Country.

    Food (In two words, Best Ever), Service (Server was very knowledgeable, helped guide us thru the menu and genuinely loves the product she's serving!), Overall Experience (would give more than 5 stars if we could), Value (perfect portions for sharing) & Price (excellent price/value and really not even a consideration) all score 5 stars Ambiance I would give a 3. Proof that you should never judge a book by its cover, although such a gem is a bit of a misfit sitting amidst a busy pizza place and market. They are re-locating so not an issue future-state. Hayward is described as "defining new NW cuisine" and based on our Wed night experience, that would be an understatement. On this particular menu, loved the Asian twist from the Raab Tempura (could not get enough of those kombu chips with just the right amount of heat) to the Black Cod w/ginger chips and lentils to an endive salad that was dressed to perfection. And diners would be re-miss not to start with the Sesame focaccia bread made in house. Chef Kari clearly deserves not only to be nominated in James Beard's best NW chef category but more so, deserves to win! Quite possibly, the best food we've had in Oregon and maybe ever!

    A unique setting causing me to imagine attending a dinner hosted by a Prime Minister/Head of State! Tastings and presentation were that memorable. A staff member met us out in the parking lot holding an umbrella to shield us from a downpour, warmly escorting us into an ambience suggestive of a country estate. If one is proposing marriage and looking for the “perfect setting” consider this one.
