They only have one so you should certainly make sure in advance that they are playing the movie you want. The theater is big and you can have regular seats or sit on a couch. Love this spot!

To give myself context I've had Joël Robuchon, French Laundry and the like in many different places in the world. There has to be some misfire with management at the Tributary. Do they not know food? Our first experience with ōkta with its original iteration was probably $1200 a couple. Tonight it was $450 a couple, yes, we had a lovely Oregon Chard, a French red Burg and an Oregon Pinot so our check wasn't totally out-of-line given the wine we ordered.The staff has always been very nice. It's Oregon; people are nice generally speaking of course. Having said that about the staff, though, it almost seems as though they could use additional training. I really really really don't want to have to write this. I support Yamhill County restaurants and want everyone who's decent to succeed. From ōkta's original "effort" it was uninspired. The team was more talented than Matthew Lightner, even though he was NYC-fancy and worked at a 2-star. I get it. On paper it should have been more than wonderful. Literally, the first thing we had was a broken custard. Perhaps in the chef world this kind of runny mess is art or "something." We went back with another couple and while we were their guests the food still wasn't close to the best we have had other places. Pretty to look at but under-seasoned and generally without a lot of flavor. We want to support local restaurants, especially ones that "should" be good. One would think that a restaurant located within a $1000/night hotel and a Relais et Chateau would be off-the-charts.Again, no. There is some disconnect between the team running the restaurant and the team making the food. How can't management see that what they served in the first iteration wasn't even close to Michelin levels and this current re-do isn't even close to the better restaurants in Yamhill County? Is management that disconnected from actual reality? Are the people writing the checks just trusting management without tasting the menu? Are they absent? I mean the Bombardier is at the airport every once in a while: Why don't they sit and eat? Clearly, with the kind of money behind this operation someone has to have taste. The amuse bouche was delightful enough but perhaps the vein of the kale could have been removed before they dehydrated it? Although everyone else had the escarole I had the asparagus and it was good enough. Was it worth $25? No. Absolutely not. The halibut was the best part of the tasting menu. I tried my partner's crab and it was okay. Not inspired. Just okay. Here, though, we get to the issue. We both had the wood-fired chicken. The first time it came out it was cold. Not lukewarm. Cold. Our friend's lamb was cold as well but he didn't want to say anything. We told our very sweet server that our food was cold. After 15 minutes she brought us back another try. Sadly, the chicken was raw inside. There is NO WAY any chef put their thermometer inside either the leg or the thigh and saw 165F. Honestly, I hope neither of us get sick from eating even a small portion of the raw chicken. (We didn't)The chocolate cake with alder oolong nice enough. My partners savrory-ish baked brie was off. It seems as though this restaurant just doesn't get it. You're not the first iteration with a supposedly fancy chef. It pains me to say this because I want ōkta to succeed. The level of food we experienced was not up to the level of what they charged us even with taking off a percentage for the improperly prepared chicken. We really want this restaurant to be good. Neither iteration of the concept has been the level that they think they are. Sadly. I mean how is management and ownership so blind? There is no way I can recommend ōkta to either our friends, those visiting or even those reading this. How is there such a disconnect between management and the kitchen? The dining room is truly lovely. The hotel is as pretty as it gets. Please, you guys, do better with your food. It's absolutely surprising people who should have very good taste can't hire a team commensurate with the amount of money charged. So. Disappointing.

Well it could be any of the unique handcrafted gifts in the shop, from locally made soap, a new pair of earrings or a stained glass sun catcher. There were so many things to tempt me, but the best part of my visit was learning about the classes offered. They just wrapped up Chinese Calligraphy, and do leatherwork, handmade beads, stained glass and crocheting. This wonderful place is the labor of love shared by three sisters, one of which I met and shared the story of how the idea came to be. An artist herself, Lynne is always looking for ideas and teachers to lead a class and showcases local artisans crafts within the store and featured on the walls. They currently have fresh cut trees and garland available for the holiday season. I left with a crocheted Yip Yip (Sesame Street), a fragrant sage / mint soap and a couple of scrubbers, a Billion New Friends (Eugene) Blackberry Herbalism Kombucha, and a couple of scones (Spanikopita and chocolate). I'm excited at the idea of adding classes to my wishlist and finally getting something I'll truly enjoy!

It's one of those places where, even though it's not all that large, you could really spend some time wandering as there is a lot to discover and you don't really know what you might find. I zeroed in on lots of beautiful rock and gem specimens and beautiful artwork on the walls. They also had local honey and just lots of local goodies, which always makes me so happy. My husband and I were there for a stained glass workshop so I grabbed a hot chocolate and he got a latte, then we skedaddled on back for the fun. Both drinks were delicious, and it was extra enjoyable to have a cozy little something to sip on while we crafted. They offer a variety of classes including drawing, felting, knitting, crochet, pottery, fused glass, and print making. The stained glass class we took was a little more involved, while the week before they were doing a drop in class for Christmas ornaments that would have been fun for kids. We ended up spending about two hours on our projects, but had a great time. There were two other students who were very friendly and our instructor was knowledgeable. The price for the class was very reasonable and we would definitely take another. They would also be so fun for a girl's day. At the café along with the mix of beverages, cookies and snacks, the soups of the day were clam chowder and tomato beef barley soup. They were out of the latter by the time we were finished so grab it while you can! One of our classmates mentioned the lemonade is particularly delicious. They even have local Ruby Jewel ice cream sandwiches. Overall, while we live a little too far for this to be a quick spot to grab a snack, easy lunch or dinner, I am jealous of the locals who have this option! Two of the owners (and they are sisters, ah so sweet!) were there and they were so friendly and nice. Again, this might be a little out of my way, but that won't stop me from returning. If you are headed between Salem and McMinnville or Sheridan, stop by Hopewell Hub on your way for some goodies.

My wife and I saw a two-piece band setting up for their performance through the window, and decided to pop in for a glass (or two) and some live entertainment. We were warmly welcomed into this classy (seeminly family run) little space, ordered a chardonnay (I didn't catch the name), Rose of Tempranillo (which my wife liked so much, she ordered one for herself afterward), and the Gewurstraminer (which ended up being my favorite). All the while, we were engaged and entertained by the two members of the band, who were amused by our toddler's sons utter fascination with them and their music. Big thanks to both of them, and the owners of Pinot Vista, for allowing and taking pleasure in our son's wanderings and exploration! He was enraptured! Such a relaxing environment, couple with some wonderful wine, beautiful music, and spending time with family without any responsibilities or expectations, is the perfect way to spend a Saturday evening, and I can't imagine many better places in McMinnville than here at Pinot Vista! We will definitely be back, the next time we find ourselves in town.
