This farm-to-table bistro is considered by many as one of the finest restaurants in the Willamette Valley. The gourmet menu changes each month using seasonal ingredients such as Dungeness crab boubin blanc (traditional French holiday sausage), stir-fry-shaved cabbage, squid ink pasta and lemongrass cream.

March 20, 2025Kath SWhat a find in Albany!
Wow, what a find! We LOVED our meal and the wait staff! My husband enjoyed a glass of Caldwell wine with an appetizer of smelt and I had a refreshing cucumber, mint and lime mock tail with an egg Benedict over artichoke heart, a creative blend of flavors snd texture. For the main course he had cod and I had steak, which we would highly recommend to others. They saved the very best for last - crème boule and chocolate hazelnut cake which was more like a rich mouse! I left out the fresh homemade bread! Jesse and Amelia were so welcoming, attentive and helpful with choices! No wonder they’ve been there for years! We look forward to our next big celebration with you! Thank you!

February 21, 2025michelrU1532RGThe anticipation didn't deliver.
We were looking forward to this with great anticipation. We celebrate Valentine's day with another great occasion - the day my wife and I began our relationaship. So it is our "second anniversary celebration". We chose the Valantine's day menu, that was "set" except for whether we wine paired it or not was the only choice. The menu consisted of a cheese, olive, peppercini, sundried tomato appetizer with crackers, a smoked pheasant-wild mushroom pureed soup, a beef wellington main with lobster sauce and a raspberry chocolate "tarte" with raspberry whipped cream on top. The appetizer was ok, salty, and had been sitting there on the table for the next guest to sit down. The soup came in a cup, very small portion and while tasty, was very rich. Tasted the mushroom abut not much else. The Wellington was in a word - underwhelming. The flour covering was soft, soggy and not flaky in the least. Had it been flaky/crunchy it would have been great. The meat was quite rare and while many people would like it being a filet mignon, I would have preferred it a bit more cooking and not be so raw. The desert was called a tarte. It was more like a brownie/molten sort of texture, tasted very raspberry forward and while tasty, needed to be more chocolatey for a richer flavor. All in all, a disappointing meal, considering the cost. The wine pairings my wife said were good, but beware, if you asked for a second glass of any wine it is $12 each. We would like to try their a la carte menu someday, but this meal was rather disappointing. The service was very good, but our waiter was rather touchy feely and it put both of us ill at ease. Recommend? Can't say. Maybe after our next try. For now I remain neutral on this restaurant.

Worth the drive from Victoria!
Excellent ambiance, outstanding food, impeccable service! “Bring me a bottle of your favourite Pinot”. Janel came through with a fantastic Bergström Pinot Noir. Note to self - don’t over order and be too full for dessert. The dessert menu was very tempting. We will be back.

LOVED this restaurant from the ambience to the staff to the great food! We were on a 3 week road trip and it was our best meal. Can't recommend it highly enough.

We'll be back!
My son and daughter-in-law treated me to dinner out, and what a treat it was! The salad was wonderful. They chose the dill and marinated steelhead with brown rice and broccoli velvet, while I chose the grilled USDA prime flatiron steak with horseradish mashed potatoes and garlic-herb sour cream. Both were cooked to perfection and very attractively plated. My compliments to the chef! We thought we'd have room for dessert, so ordered the chocolate hazelnut cake. Talk about rich! While I couldn't even eat half of it, what I brought home will certainly be enjoyed after dinner tomorrow! I understand the menu changes each month and look forward to going back to try out a new dish. Our waitress was also very attentive and personable, making for a very nice dining experience.
