    Well hello again, folks! We know how this goes... I'm a brunch SNOB and it's the most difficult…read more5-star review to get from me. I'm picky and whiny when it comes to perfecting brunch. Crescent Cafe, kudos, you've done it again! We discovered Crescent about a year ago at the recommendation of a friend who used to live in McMinnville. We tried it then and we were very pleased with our experience. We returned again today. Met by a friendly staff, we did have a bit of a wait but that was on us... we failed to make a reservation. Nonetheless, it was worth the wait! They accommodated all 6 of us in less time than predicted. We were seated at a lovely table in the front of the restaurant and met by a lovely waitress who was so bubbly, friendly, and kind. Coffees showed up quickly and our orders were taken quite promptly. The atmosphere was lively and the staff was attentive. Food. They just do dang good here. First, yes we know what is coming now... THEY KNOW HOW TO COOK AN EGG TO ORDER! Second, the food is fresh and piping hot... hashbrowns are perfectly crisp, and the ham was delish! Overall, what more can I say? Huge portions, we each ate / drank cofee for ~$20/each and left with leftover boxes. Crescent Cafe knows how to do brunch. They thrive in all areas, you can't go wrong. Next time you're in McMinnville for the weekend, make sure you stop in for a fabulous brunch!

    Love McMinville and was hungry for breakfast. They have the BEST HASHBROWNS! It's a generous…read moreportion of shredded potato with crispy top and bottom. It was not greasy or oily in the least. It was so, so, so good. HEAVEN. I got the daily special of the pastry instead of toast and it was sour cream coffee cake - not too sweet, with the right amount of cinnamon swirl and delicious crumble on top. It was also tender and moist. So good! They also do a mean poached egg (those are hard and can be messed up easily). Friendly service, hometown feel, yummy food.

    Another Fabulous Breakfast at The Diner in McMinnville…read moreRating: We had another wonderful breakfast at The Diner in McMinnville. Our party of 4.5 was lucky to snag a spot on a typically busy Saturday morning; we must have hit the "sweet spot" because we arrived just before the line formed. A typical wait is 20-30 minutes for a table on weekends, but the food and service make it well worth it. We were greeted and seated quickly, and I really appreciated being offered a choice of seating. We opted for a booth, which worked perfectly for our little one in a booster seat. What made the visit truly special was the owner playing peek-a-boo with my grandson--such a sweet, personal touch that shows how much they care about their guests! The Diner is well-known for its boozy breakfast options. Our table enjoyed a Bloody Mary, Boozy Mimosas, and a Tequila Sunrise. All the drinks arrived quickly and were enjoyed tremendously. For the main course, we ordered: Breakfast Sandwich: Served on a soft, fluffy muffin with bacon and a perfectly cooked egg. Pork Chili Verde (Special): Served over cheddar grits with fresh salsa, crème fraîche, and crispy tortilla chips. Absolutely INCREDIBLE! Chicken Fried Steak: A family favorite that resulted in a "clean plate" as usual. Crispy Chicken Club Sandwich: Another lovely, solid meal. Another fantastic visit with great food and even better service. We will definitely be back!

    Great breakfast/brunch food. Always check the specials. The energies not disappoint…read more Hint: the quiche is amazing!

    My wife and I took an overnight trip to Mcminnville area and I searched for somewhere nice that we…read morecould eat. I came upon Cypress and although the menu seemed limited at first, their options were all intriguing. We set a reservation for 5:30 on a Saturday. When we walked in there was only one older gentleman in the whole place so we were greeted promptly and sat immediately. I was wondering that since no one was there, that I perhaps made a mistake. That was NOT the case. Plants lined the ceiling and the bar and made the space beautiful and inviting. Very nice ambiance! We started with a special appitizer, Halloumi cheese and sweet potatoes. Oh man, absolutely incredible flavor and texture. That season and sauce on these were spectacular. If they are offer this, get it! We then had their seasonal salad which also was fantastic! Light and flavorful and we ate every bite. She got the salmon and I got the short rib and a side of brussel sprouts to share. All were incredible. The flavor experience here is off the charts. We kept saying how amazing the meal was all throughout the evening. I had 2 old fashions and my beauty had 2 paper planes. Both cocktails were far above average. They were excellent! You can't have a great overall experience without a fantastic server. Harmony was amazing! She checked in on us regularly ensuring everything was good and filling our waters. By this time the place was filling up with guests but we still had the same level of service. Thank you, Harmony. The pricing is what you would expect for an amazing meal. It was just over $200 including top for 4 drinks, 2 entrees, 1 appetizer, 1 salad, 1 side. It was so worth it! This was an incredible meal that my wife and I really enjoyed! Thank you, Harmony and thank you Cypress. Don't you go anywhere. We will be back next time we are down this way.

    Five stars! And i'm a fairly tough reviewer! So, a friend…read morefrom work told me about this and at first I laughed and was pretty amazed that there is a place that serves pancake burritos. It took me a moment to sink it in but after repeatedly telling me it's super good I thought well shoot why not try it. I was limited on time and didn't really want to go pick up food since I was headed out today for the lake so I looked up the site and then sent the text. They accept card which is good! And are quick to reply when you order. Anyways, cool dude! Delivered my food and it was nice and hot. Now I was a little nervous at first because I didn't know what to expect and bam! Took my first bite and oh my gosh it hit the spot! I got the pancake burrito with french toast scramble with caramelized bananas! Simple yet amazing! Not only is this unique but it's freaking good. Definitely worth it. Will be spreading the word and also ordering again real soon.

    These pancakes are so unique, definitely not your "run of the mill" flapjacks...I've tried them all…read moreand each one is incredibly yummy and the bacon bowl is also a personal favorite of mine. The Jammie Jams taste so fresh, I could eat it plain with a big spoon. The fact that these creations are delivered right to your door is also such a unique concept!!! I'm a loyal Juice's Pancake Lounge fan, I tell so many people about them that I'm pretty sure I should be on the payroll as an employee . LOVE the fact Mac is foodie friendly and supports new ideas like this!!!! I would also like to say that the review questioning (blasting) the proper naming seems like it came from someone who is very petty and bored which is unfortunate and I hope it doesn't interfere with your decision to try Juice's Pancake Lounge...try it once and decide for yourself - regardless of what they're called, they're delicious ...

Beautiful restaurant, we really expected a bit of a crowd. We were seated and greeted, waters were provided with menus. We started our meal experience by telling our waiter that we planned to do a progressive dinner down 3rd Street. We were met with a rather disappointed / disheartened response. Their menu was absolutely stunning. Lots of great options. As this was our first stop of the evening, we went for an appetizer. The Albacore Confit absolutely out of this world. Ridiculously good. Huge portion, plated beautifully. Wonderful for the three of us to share. We all raved at how lovely the dish was. Drinks were absolutely fabulous. Gin martini was SOLID. My partner didn't care for his wine but it was a first-time try, that isn't the fault of the restaurant. The Dolores O'Riordan martini was absolutely wonderful. The bar was timely with drinks, which is always appreciated. Overall, ambiance, food, and drink were AMAZING! Absolutely a 5-star experience. However, service just did not slap. We could have survived with the disheartened response at us only staying for one-course but the end of our time with Grounded Table kinda kicked us all in the butt. As they handed me the check, we were met with "We hope you can join us for an entire meal sometime". The inflection was just catty and unnecessary. Trying to look past it, I continued to complete the check but after they departed the table, my dinner-mates both whispered under their breath "that did not just happen, how rude!" Meh, this could hae been the easiest 5-star review ever. The attitude of our server kinda blew the entire experience, the comment was unnecessary.

    We went to Grounded table last weekend to celebrate a birthday. I was really looking forward to it…read moreand was expecting to be blown off my feet after reading the other reviews. The food was just ok. Honestly, it feels like they are trying too hard. Radicchio and Caesar just didn't hit for me. I would have given it more stars though if the service was better. They were slow and very full of themselves. I'd have to think twice about going back. There are far better places in McMinnville.
