“What a wonderful secret gem. First time visitor. We found this winery actually through Groupon. In the summer of 2023 they are running a great wine and cheese flight pairing package. It included a large cheese and charcuterie board with two wine tastings. Our hostess Sharron was very nice. She provided information about the wines, the winery, and her journey from California up to Oregon. They have breathtaking views of the surrounding area and also patio seating. We kept cool inside where the ambiance was cozy and inviting. Lots of really nice Italian inspired tapestries and fun grape decor. It felt like we were family by the time we left. Very laid back atmosphere and friendly people. I would definitely come back again. It was a wonderful time and a beautiful day. The roses and outside cat also delighted our senses. Magical memories. Highly recommend.”
“I'm a new club member because we really like the wines, the view and tasting room are beautiful, they allow outside food, they allow dogs, and it's close to home. However, when we brought out-of-town guests recently, we all were appalled at the lack of service. There were only two other small parties tasting, and our server unceremoniously deposited the tasting notes and carafes on our table, told us to "taste clockwise from the white," and never spoke to us again. We had to listen as he explained the wines to another table; we felt like chopped liver. There wasn't even any thoughtful communication when I paid for our purchases. I wonder if all club members are treated this way. . .”
“I have been going to Gran Moraine regularly since a friend introduced me to this winery 4 years ago and recently became a wine club member. The wines here are unlike anything else I've had from the Willamette Valley. They are full of nuance and are far and away my favorite wines from the area. I have introduced numerous friends to this spot and every time, my guests are so impressed with not only the quality of the wines, but the professionalism of the staff. The service here is always impeccable and Tim is the absolute best! His brain is overflowing with wine knowledge and he will happily share any information with you about what he knows. I learn something new every visit. The views here are lovely, and the seating area inside is cozy and beautiful. The patio on the back is one of my favorite places to sit when the weather is nice because you can hear the winemakers hard at work and you can jam to whatever their daily playlist. If you haven't been here yet, you are absolutely missing out. Their huge selection of pinots are wonderful, as are their other varietals, and the Zena Crown line is not to be missed. Do yourself or any friends visiting you in Portland a favor, and book yourself a tasting here. You won't regret it.”
“Beautiful winery in Pinot country. It was relatively quiet when we arrived, and we were treated very well by Cathy and the rest of the staff. Their wines are well made and several made their way home with us.”
“One of the family’s favorite spots. The best Mexican food for miles around. The ingredients are fresh and high quality. The food is very flavorful and authentic. Tastes like home cooked stuff. Hot fresh and delicious.The atmosphere is nice, it’s a cozy little space with awesome decorating. Perfect for a date or just hang out with some friends. The service is always fantastic and fast. Price is reasonable. There’s something for everyone here.If you love Mexican food you’ll love this place. It’s consistently good.”
“So freakin delicious. Got one of their pizzas, so good and resonably priced for the quality you get. There also was a really talented musician playing, which I was pleasantly surprised since I wasn't expecting music. Some serious local talent on thurday march 21st of 2024. Didn't catch his name though. Anywaaays, get on over to the Larson House. You won't regret it!Vegetarian options: Had the mediteranean veg pizza (I forget what exactly it was called, couldv'e been a greek veg pizza).”
“4 of us stopped by for drinks and dinner last week. The food came out together and timely. My steak came out perfectly cooked (medium rare) and I heard nothing but positives about the other food. The tattooed lady working the bar area was awesome. I wish I had asked her name. She remembered 4 of our orders without writing anything down. Very impressive considering the requests. She also took good care of us and made great drinks.”
“We were surprised and excited to find a high-end restaurant a block from our hotel. We jumped on the chance to go and were definitely rewarded for it. The tasting menu was great with the wine pairings. The dishes really encouraged taking a 'perfect bite' to make the magic happen. There were many interesting dishes presented in novel ways and flavor combinations to tickle even my fickle palette.The theme of the food was definitely a mushroom, root vegetable, 'earthy,' umami forward experience. The wines were perfectly paired with the dishes and had a great variety, even including local favorites. If there is anything to caution over, make sure you get a reservation at least a day in advance and know that it is pricey. If you love the fine dining experience and wish to splurge, please give it a go. You won't be disappointed. This is on-par with some of the Michelin starred restaurants we've eaten at. It's the real deal.”
“Fantastic New American restaurant in Oregon wine country. We walked in for brunch at 12:30 on a Sunday in April and sat at the bar. We got incredible service from their friendly bartender Steven.The double smash cheeseburger and the chicory Caesar salad were two of the best versions we’ve had in a long time, and their homemade Oreos and milk were an unforgettable dessert. Their orange cassis gin & tonic was a memorably great take on a G&T.Even better, most ingredients are sourced from the restaurant’s own farm.”
“Cute place, super yummy food. The service was great. Could be a fun date night place or just come for lunch kinda place. The turkey sandwich was delicious and they have great fries.”
“I really like this place. Always very friendly, nice, welcoming. The only place I will buy menudo. Very clean and delicious. Martha has done an amazing job always.”
“This pizza is easily Mcminnville's finest!Neopolitan, with locally sourced and house made ingredients. The creativity, ever changing specials and seasonal awareness are brilliant! The staff is friendly, professional, curteous, and never overbearing. I love this restaurant for many reasons! Don't skip the arancini, it is masterful, and also incorporates seasonal special inspiration in addition to the standard tried and true. The short ribs with polenta will have you comforted, and tearing up at the same time! I can give my highest recommendation for this restaurant! Chef Jeremy has some very simple and delicious direction, with truly amazing creativity, and with a relatively tight space he manages to crank out busy service with what appears to be "ease". Bravo!!!”
“This is an amazing little coffee shop in the small beautiful town of Carlton. The coffee and treats are worth it. And if you like shopping local and support small business... this is the place.”
“We love the skill and creativity of this charming French chef! Not only is he fun to talk with, but his food is superb. He operates on the highest level of consideration for his flavors (and pairings with wine), and is so obviously comitted to excellence in everything. In addition to the main menu, he also offers a fun PreFix menu from which we could choose what we'd like for each course. We came away smiling because we had such a wonderful evening there for our anniversary. Magnifique, Monsieur le Chef!”
“Quiet little food truck. Amazing food, really good flavors, huge portions for the price. I ordered the Thai Cashew Chicken and the owner was really sweet. I'll definitely come here again, next time to test the spicy version. ??Kid-friendliness: The owner is very sweet and kind. She treats everyone like a valued friend almost.”
“Best breakfast I have had in at least 8-10 years. Everything is made from scratch on site. The hash brown potatoes were fresh and crispy perfection.I wish I could give them six stars. Coffee, homemade bread and jam. Hope you get Vicky as your wait person. Very, very good ?”
“Their service was great. The food was good, better than I was expecting. The quantity is fair for the price, and they have a beautiful concept. I will be back here again.”
“Oh, let me tell you about my delightful experience at La Rambla Restaurant & Bar! From the moment we stepped inside, I knew we were in for a treat! The ambiance was charming, with a cozy atmosphere that just invited us in. Now, let's talk about the food - oh my goodness, it was beyond amazing! Every dish we tried was bursting with flavor and had that authentic taste that you just can't find anywhere else. It was like a culinary journey through Spain right here in town! From the paella to the tapas, every bite was a delight for the taste buds! But what truly blew me away was the staff. Let me share a little story with you - we accidentally came in through the back door and sat down without realizing we needed a reservation. But instead of turning us away, the staff welcomed us with open arms and accommodated us without a single question. Now, that's what I call exceptional service! I can't say enough good things about the wonderful folks at La Rambla. Their kindness and hospitality made our dining experience truly memorable. It's no wonder I make it a point to stop by whenever I'm in town. La Rambla has become like a home away from home for me, and I recommend it highly to anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!”
“Stopped here for lunch with my Sister and Sister in law.Nice quiet little Cafe in Lafayette, OR. I ordered the Pork Belly Tacos, which I highly recommend. They were delicious. The Service was a bit slow, but the food more then makes up for it, as well as the friendly atmosphere.”
“Just took a chance passing through town, and the place looked cute. We had: wood-fired pepperoni pizza, garlic & cheese bread, and their potato & truffle bisque. I'd go out of my way to come back to this place. The flavors were a level-up, so fresh, so layered & decadent. Service was prompt & friendly, great atmosphere, cozy seating, ample selection of beverages (alcoholic & non) for on-premises consumption or take-home. Sweet little ice cream & candy parlor on the other side if you still have room for dessert. Worth the jaunt out to Carlton!”
“Always exceptional food, wine, service, and ambience. While we thoroughly enjoyed the new (pared down) Sunshine menu, if it's your first time try the Mushroom Madness or Omakase which are still available and not to be missed. We make it a point to come twice a year and always look forward to the next time. Levi is a skilled and personable sommelier and Chef is outstanding at his craft.”
“I have eaten there twice and plan on becoming a regular. Both times the food was outstanding and the wait staff excellent. Awesome ambience good for lunch meetings or casual dinners. Full bar, good beer selection. I did not see it they have wines but sure they must. I had Chana Masala and garlic naan. Very tasty. The naan came out steaming and I ordered more half way through the Chana masala which they had out in minutes.”
“We actually didn't eat here but the wines...wow, they are incredible! Some of our favorite pinot noirs right now and they're on 2021's so have lots of room for aging. Highly recommend them for this as well as their service and knowledgable staff!”
“Lack of parking is a bit frustrating. Trendy atmosphere but quaint.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free and vegan options!Wheelchair accessibility: Lacks proper parking.”
“"Retro Dining". Milkshakes flavored and mixed to order. LARGE portions, scratch made foods. Good menu variety. Good prices. Friendly staff. Small place, seats maybe 40?Wheelchair accessibility: Old building with a difficult entrance, but I've seen staff help carry orders to the car for an elderly customer with a cane.”
“Great food with great portions. The service was excellent. Wanted Saki and the server was able to explain the options so an educated purchase could be made. This is our go to!”
“Best Mexican food in town!I've been going here for years because no other place like it compares. They get the order right, out quickly, every time. Coming from California, I can say that this Mexican food is about as authentic as it gets.”
“Absolutely the best food in Carlton. If you’re looking for carefully curated, mind-blowing flavors, look no further. From the tasty ceviche to the house made gnocchi to the beef tartare and the chocolate torte, everything about our meal was delicious. We both agreed this was THE best meal we’ve ever had. This place is a must visit when you come to Carlton!”
“So great time after time. I love thier chili burger or dog. Great wings! Ask about their off menu homemade pickles! Best pickles I’ve ever had, and they sell them by the jar. They have super spicy pickles too.”
“The blonde lady here was amazing! Service was great. She made a copycat picture perfect for us and it was better than Dutch bros by far! Drinks are amazing. Thank you so much!”
