Restaurants near Oregon Culinary Institute

Just an outstanding restaurant in all regards. Ask for Jerrod to make your evening perfect!

Came in to celebrate my husbands bday Tuesday evening. Although I had made a reservation for a table, we waited over 20 minutes because a previous party had not cleared out yet. We were given the option to continue to wait for their table to clear or sit in the outdoor patio. The host walked us by our options and we chose to sit outdoors. It was so nice and quiet outside and the weather was perfect!! I highly recommend enjoying the outdoor patio throughout the fall on those non-rainy nights. We had a delicious dinner and the best creme brûlée! I don’t know how they make the creme brûlée’s better than the last time we had it but it was the perfect way to end the night! We look forward to our next visit and definitely will not rule out the outdoor patio! Thank you for the wonderful service and experience P.s.. Huge shoutout to the front of house for finding solutions for us. You all displayed excellent communication, professionalism and team work. Thank you!!

Everything was phenomenal. We started with a cocktail, which was in a gorgeous glass. I got their signature October drink, which was a fig bourbon old fashioned-esque drink, and my partner got a gin drink that was quite tasty. We shared the focaccia and burrata before each getting a pasta as our main. The rigatoni was outstanding, as was the baked gnocchi. We finished our meal with their hazelnut tiramisu--so good. We can't wait to go back!

We are well taken care of by Danny our waiter. He didn’t exceptional job of getting our food to us quickly making sure that we are well taken care of on our special birthday dinner. He even explained to us that the birthday piece of cake that they give you is half of what is presented on the dessert tray. I thought that was awkward for him to have to say that, and I’m sure it was awkward for him also. The steam lobster tail, which I went for I’d hoped was going to be as delicious as the last time I was there was just as good as my dream was. Jake’s never disappoints. 

Excellent food, really special. The service was great. It was too noisy--we had a noisy table behind us & had to almost shout to talk. But I do love the food..
