One of the things I love about this mural is the story of Yeardley Smith and Dan Grice. It is such a neat love story and without that mural, that story wouldn't have happened. My husband and I both always enjoy this mural when we walk or drive by it, and often stop to take it all in. It is just a fun reminder of the history and something to enjoy. It is certainly worth stopping by to take it in and smile, then go check out the other fun murals that are scattered around town.

A Naples trained Pizzaiolo. We ordered a wide variety of dishes, including salad DOP, Calabrian Pizza, gnocchi, Bucatini, cannolis, suppli, meatballs and a unique dish of fried olives, all of which were outstanding. Every dish was excellent, and the service was very fast. I highly recommend and I would visit often if I lived locally. Well Done!

Wow! This food is insanely delicious! As we knew that we would be passing through Eugene yesterday,…read moreI started looking up restaurants. I was enticed by the pictures of fresh salads and wood fired pizzas. We ended up getting a few pizzas, a couple different pastas. They were all so flavorful (not salty) the texture of the gnocchi was so soft and absorbed the flavorful sauce. We were all blown away. We used QR to order, and were advised to order in waves. Drinks first. Everything came out promptly, even though the restaurant was pretty full. The last few days we ate at some incredible restaurants. Cold Springs Tavern in Santa Barbara, Nepenthe in Big Sur, then we come to Osteria DOP and all agreed the food here was unmatched. The best. For driving many hours, I liked that the atmosphere was casual, but it still looked modern and nice.

This coming from a girl who is obsessed with Cranberry bogs. I just love all things farming. I found us the largest orchard to visit in the Eugene area and it was spectacular. We came after brunch and walked around for a good while, admiring several of the orchards and trails. If I lived in the area I'd be here every single day. I typically walk 6-8 miles a day and nearly everyone here had a four legged friend with them, it felt like a little slice of heaven on earth. The trails were so peaceful and serene, the river flowing through in the back. It was complete tranquility. Great bird watching too! It's hard to believe a place so beautiful is free. I am most appreciative for the opportunity to spend some time here.

Opened in January 2021, the Market Alley is the newest addition to the 5th Street Public Market…read more Located in the heart of downtown Eugene, you'll find a collection of unique shops, dining, wine & spirit tasting experiences and more. The 200-foot long covered "Market Alley" is sandwiched between the three-story Market Building (commercial and retail space), the Gordon Lofts Apartments (retail facing the Market Alley) and the Gordon Hotel at the opposite end of the Alley (across from the original 5th Street Public Market area). The Market Alley section was uncrowded while I visited with a friend, even though the original Market area was packed. We were on the lookout for certain Pendleton products, so it was a good excuse to checkout the area while there. As a plus, Heritage Distilling Co. was offering free tastings. I was already familiar with their Dual Barrel (Vanilla) Bourbon Whiskey...the night before experimenting with various whiskeys and liquors mixed with eggnog...yes, whiskey goes great with eggnog! And you thought science wasn't fun ;-) It was nice to sample some of Heritage Distilling Co's other high quality spirits...all very good! So if you haven't been down to the Market Alley, I do recommend a visit.

I'm no foodie or food snob, but when food is this bad I must speak out. We were referred here by…read morefriends who raved about this restaurant. I found nothing good to report. 1. Appetizer: Polenta Fritta ($14). 2 small spongy pieces of a nasty tasting concoction. The mushrooms on top were over-seasoned. Neither of us could stand this. 2. Salad: Caesar. ($12). This is not a Caesar salad. Yes, the menu says Green Garlic Dressing, but I expected a Caesar hint. Instead, there was an awful dressing. Additionally, the croutons were hard as rocks. 3. Main Course: Halibut ($44). We have never had worse fish anywhere. It was terribly dry and mostly tasteless (due to being dry). I'm actually glad the portion was small because I would not have eaten the rest. Had we not been with friends, we would have sent the meal back. Given the prices, our expectations were high. They were not close to be met.

We paid way too much much for these tickets, but were able to resell 3 of the tickets for those who couldn't go through. My husband and I had a great experience but it seems like the owner really struggled to be prepared this year because after we went everything went down hill for them and it seems like many people are very unhappy.

I had the Marry Me chicken meal, which had a delightful cream sauce with spinach, broccolini squash, and sun-dried tomatoes. The cream sauce was deliciously sweet and the chicken was as tender as I've had in almost forever. I also had a green salad with blue cheese dressing, which was very nice. A couple of my friends had cocktails and they thought they were very good. Other meals to my friends included the Poutine Fries; The breaded pork chop (schnitzel) and the shrimp pasta. One person had the hard cider and enjoyed that, and then of course, at the end of the meal, they have these delicious little chocolates two of us had them and one person had the chocolate pot re crème.

I've lived here for around 5 years, and another 15 years up in Salem and this little restaurant is a gem in every respect. I've been to Rye at least 4 times since moving here. I had heard about it from friends and so my partner and I first tried it out and were highly impressed with the food, the servce and the ambiance. The menu is just a bit limited but between the specials and the menu offerings, there was plenty to choose from. Above all, what they do, they do very well. I and my partner ate at Rye three nights ago and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience in every way. AMBIENCE... The dining room is terrific. Lots of dark wood. The lighting of the room is especially conducive to privacy but not isolation. Inasmuch as it was raining to beat the band when we arrived, entering felt like a welcoming respite. The patrons' chatter was subdued but clearly they were having a great time. FOOD... We ordered cocktails (I enjoyed a Cocchi Rye whiskey cocktail which was delicious. The French onion soup I ordered was also very tasty and loaded with mozzarella atop the cup. I then dived into a "special" plate of a Chinook salmon fillet, finished perfectly and sitting on a bed or pureed squash. Excellent, I thought. Afterwards, we shared some sort of fruity pastry, sharing with two forks. SERVICE... From where I sat I could watch the bar activity, even the service window into the kitchen allowed me to watch all the activity. Our server was very efficient and cheerful and engaging without being overbearing in any way. AFTERTHOUGHTS: I will be coming back, of course. Rye is where you want to go to have a very good time eating out. You're not going to spend an arm and a leg to eat there but Rye is definitely not Denny's. I think this was my fourth trip there and all four times I felt thoroughly satisfied in every way.
