Very good service and very interesting food. Donuts were very good. The burger was very unique and good. One of the highlights was the crepe. One of the most unique dishes I have ever had. Worth a stop if you are here...plus they use all local and high quality ingredients! read more

Beautiful atmosphere, very chic and modern. Service was non-intrusive. Prices very high, even for an ex Bay area resident. Meals are served with veggies/sides. Halibut was bland. Chicken was ok, overpriced at 44!!, clams sauce was herby, spicy and sweet which was weird and did not work. A menu revamp or new chef may help this place warrant the high prices. read more

We were very pleasantly surprised by this place!! We didn't know anything about it, we were walking by and snagged an outdoor table. The menu had a good amount of options - not too many and not too little. Based on the menu we could tell they use fresh seasonal ingredients so we were happy to see that. We ordered the Oregon Bay Shrimp rolls, whole trout, roasted half chicken, and a side of fries and cauliflower. WOW!! we were blown away at how fresh and delicious everything was. We almost felt like we were somewhere In the south of France. All of our food was perfectly cooked and seasoned. We couldn't even pick a favorite. Next time you are in McMinnville, definitely come here and enjoy! read more

The dishes were so creative and fresh! The server explained everything well and made suggestions. We had the beet salad - so tasty and for a main dish I ordered the braised clams, which I loved! So rich and savory. Will definitely be back! read more

The occasion for our visit was our 45th wedding anniversary. Two weeks ago, my husband called me at work to ask me my preference for celebrating. He told me he found a reservation at Gregory Gourdet's restaurant in Portland, Kann. I have been trying to get reservations there for months. I, however, had been noticing advertisements on social media from Humble Spirit in McMinnville. At our age, a 15-minute drive sounds awfully seductive, just like the menu at Humble Spirit. Humble Spirit, located at 411 3rd Street in McMinnville, used to house one of my favorite restaurants that didn't make it after the pandemic. Focusing on local provisions and regenerative farming practices, the staff and owners have created a casual and comfortable atmosphere while pouring a lot of effort into creating a fine dining experience that is both satisfying and fun. The menu is thoughtful, giving every diner a good selection of proteins and vegetarian offerings. Resourcing local farmers, and ranchers, they highlight the food of a local farm, tabula rasa farms. Our meal was fabulous. The service was just right. Care and attention without being overbearing. Even when my husband accidentally broke his glass, the staff skillfully cleaned things up without batting an eye or making him feel bad. There are plenty of dishes to try on the dinner menu, but the brunch menu is calling to me as well. read more

We love to occasionally frequent restaurants which purport to offer a unique dining experience with prices and service to match. Often times the food is exceptional even though the quantities may be less than other places. Grounded Table unfortunately is not that kind of experience. They fall into that realm where you pay the higher price for less without the reward of wonderful food....it's merely different. Skip this place and go to nearby Nick's or Cypress for exceptional food that matches the price and you don't get the high end attitude. read more

We found this little gem when we went wine tasting in the valley. Truly lovely service and great food

The food, service and ambiance was a hit. The food- I had the batard with butter and blue cheese. The batard ( bread) was fresh, the butter was creamy and salted and the blue cheese was as perfect. The beet salad was beautifully presented and tasted as good as it looked. The chicken dish was delicious- tendered and full of flavor. The chicken dish was a large serving. Chef's kiss to the chef. Very talented. The restaurant was light and open. Very pretty. The hostess was very friendly and welcoming. Our waiter Chris, welcomed us with champagne ( our anniversary) and was informative, gave great explanation of the menu and was on point during our whole experience. He made the dining experience even better. This is a great restaurant. Visiting from another state and I will come back. read more

I liked that snow didn't get in the way of staying open. The service was 4 out of 5. The food was great! I had the clans and broccolini! Get the broccolini!!!!! My husband loved the trout. Ask for broccolini on top instead of arugula, unless you love arugula and radishes. I loved this wine. See the pic! read more

Excellent menu and ambience. Servers have a welcoming attitude. Good local vine. Open on Mondays and Tuesdays.

Once again an incredible visit to Humble Spirit, this time for brunch. The corned beef hash was to die for, my partner had the buttermilk biscuit Benedict and loved it. Staff are always so friendly and attentive, and of course the restaurant has such a great vibe and aesthetics overall. Love love love! read more

Excellent meal all the way around, helpful staff; server Max even asked the bartender to come by our table to explain a cocktail recipe we wanted and he even gave us his recipe (the Nordic sparkler- which I highly recommend!) I highly recommend the savory crepes from the lighter menu side and my husband is raving about the eggs Benedict (served on buttermilk biscuit) Added bonus, their "regular" coffee is EXCEPTIONAL! read more

Was super excited to try this place, we came with a group of eight in August. Service was great. Drinks and dinner were good, but I was definitely expecting to be blown away, which it was still good but the pasta was very salty. read more

Came here for my assistants birthday dinner on Sunday night and we both really enjoyed ourselves We started with the cheese sampler (of 3) then the tuna salad, another beet/hazelnut salad and then we had the fish and ended the meal with the pear dessert. Service was amazing and the inside seating and decor is chic. Highly recommended and worth the drive to McMinnville read more

We came with some friends to Mcminville to do a day/evening of wine tasting for a friends Birthday. They put the day's itinerary together including our stop at Humble Spirit for dinner. I was definitely humbled by my experience. This restaurant exists on 3rd ave (sort of McMinville's main strip). The interior conveyed a ton of charm and warmth - There was an abundance of staff, all who seemed eager to help us as we walked in. We were the largest group of the night and we were taken care of by our dedicated server plus a somm and a bar attendant. We really felt taken care of and the service came without that phoned in attitude that sometimes comes from hosting larger groups. We ordered primarily everything on the menu, as we decided to sort of share everything ( servers here will definitely advise to share small/med sized plates and possibly 1 large plate per every 2-3 people). Some standouts were the Pork Belly + Hazelnuts, Albacore Confit, and the homemade "Oreos". Truly though, everything we ate looked and tasted amazing. We also were told a lot of the greens and some of the specials are all from the farm owned by the proprietor. Kudos to keeping ingredients local! Drinks were a mix of wine and house cocktails. They make a potent Martini too (this is a good thing). We look forward to coming back and enjoying another epic meal. To the staff at Humble Spirit, thank you. You have a very special place and environment. read more

Overall good experience with excellent service. Fried chicken was very good but served on Monday and Tuesday only. The double burger was ok, a bit overcooked for my taste but I didn't ask for "pink" or medium rare so can't be sure if it's my fault for not asking. The mixed Chicory Caesar salad was a bit different but we liked it. Pinot Gris was good. Sparkling Pinot noir was also good, but a tinge sweet. Service was excellent. Our server was very attentive. There was a large table next to us that was quite loud but I imagine the place is quieter normally. We'll give it another shot next time we're in town on a Monday or Tuesday! read more

Wife and I visited while on vacation. Fried chicken was awesome, brought back memories of Ad Hoc in Yountville, CA (Thomas Keller). Also, double smash burger was great! We asked O'Malley the Somelier to pick out a nice pinot noir (Walter Scott - Witness Tree Vineyards 2022). We wanted something local, and special. It delivered. O'Malley also gave us some awesome wineries to visit, appreciated! Finally, got the homemade oreos. Loved them! Nice fun little place with nice people, vibe, food and drink. read more

Absolutely delicious! We went Xmas eve and the food and staff were incredible! The veggie pasta and the market vegetables plate were incredible and the half roasted chicken was amazing! We sat next to mama Dixon of the famed mama Dixon hot buttered rum cocktail and the drink is not to be missed! Definitely make sure to stop here if you are in town! read more

The best food I had over a long weekend in town. Started with the meatballs and the carrot salad. Awesome. The pasta dish - Cavatelli Pasta - and the roasted chicken dish were some of the best I've ever had. Didn't have reservations - sat at table at window. Wound up meeting someone NEXT to us who worked at the farm where the food comes from and they offered a tour of it! From the restaurant to the farm - this place has IT. read more

Each visit has seen bountiful and soulfully prepared local cuisine, and extremely pleasant camaraderie with the young gentleman attending me at the bar where I ate. Although Cypress is also a favorite of mine (especially for an afternoon nosh and tea) this would have to be my preferred location in town for dinner so far. Well done on all fronts! read more

Okay, I hate to go against the grain here but found this restaurant very ho-hum. Humble Spirit was highly recommended by nearly everyone we met while on vacation so we snagged a reservation for a Friday night. We started with the liver pate and it was ... fine? I found it odd to serve pate on a crisp because it was difficult to spread the cold pate on something that easily broke. There was also a thick layer of fat on top of the pate which was just kind of odd. I like fat but since it was cold you had to stab through it. My husband had the nights special, a turkey pot pie which was good but nothing too different from the flavor of any homemade pot pie and I had their burnt butter pasta. At the waiters suggestion I got the meatballs to add to it. The pasta on its own was bland. Very little of that toasted caramel flavor that burnt butter usually brings and the meatballs were okay. The mushrooms in the dish were a wonderful quality but over salted in the sauce. The interior was cozy and the staff excellent, but not sure I'd ever visit again based on the food alone. read more

Sunday brunch. YES. I sat at the bar and a lovely bartendress named O'Malley made sure I had everything I needed. There was one other person eating at the bar, an artist/cab driver named Andy, and the three of us had a perfect morning. I had their corned beef hash, which was perfect. They make the corned beef in-house and wow, was it delicious. The hash was everything I wanted it to be, with no unnecessary ingredients. Between the great food, service and ambiance, I could not have been happier with my brunch at Humble Spirit. read more

In a word ... "Outstanding". Everything feels authentic about this restaurant. The food is fresh and the theme of farm-to-table exudes. The dishes are complex and delicious. The decor is simple but also authentic. Brick walls, nicely finished wood with a black ceiling, and old hardwood floors make it a pleasant place to eat. The staff is knowledgable, unpretentious and again felt "authentic". They have some nice cocktails, maybe a little pricey but what we tasted was yummy and the wine list has enough variety to cater to most tastes. This is a restaurant we want to return to and would have no hesitation in recommending it to absolutely anybody. This was our first visit and we will be back. read more

5 stars from service, receptionist, farm to table locally sourced organic offerings to Andrew's wine recommendations. Only downside is the limited number of Russian River/Anderson Valley Pinots (none) as well as limited Dundee Hills/Willamette wines . Great cocktail bar and creative drinks...not to be missed! read more

Great wait staff!! Appreciate all our waiter did to make the night good. Poor management. We booked the last dinner of our stay at Humble Spirit because we enjoyed the delicious dessert and attentive staff the night before. Our daughter attends college in the area and we made the trip from Hawaii to visit her for spring break. We love the town and her school. Unfortunately, the management at Humble spirit tolerated a table of 12 that made the space deafening to all other conversations. The night ended shortly for us with apart of our party leaving in an uncomfortable way. It is unfortunate that our night had to end in such an unpleasant manner. We hope the table of 12 understands that they were not the only table in the restaurant trying to break bread with family and loved ones. read more

First of all, we made the reservation at 7:45pm but we got seated at 8pm. We were then seated and were not even served water for the next 10 minutes until we asked the bus lady for water. We then ordered food that took over an hour to come out but even then, the taste and portions of the food did not match the price. Overall, our time there was not enjoyable and would not recommend this service for anyone. Also, we spent 300 dollars here and still left hungry. read more

There were four of us and we ate every single bite. The entrees were very tasty (the whole trout was excellent as were the meatball and roasted carrot appetizers). To offer a little constructive criticism we'd suggest the accompaniments could be diversified to provide better balance though we admire the decision to offer local produce in season. The food is expensive enough to be profitable without a somewhat offensive corkage fee. Overall, a fine dining experience. read more

My wife and I finally had a chance to check out Humble Spirit last night. The newly remodeled location has incredible ambience and a beautiful bar with full service. We started out with a cheese platter and salad, then finished with the chicken dish, an order of meatballs, and the tagliatelle. The food was incredible as was the service. They also have a great wine selection, cocktails and several beers on tap. If you're into beer, try the local Pilsner, Heater-Allen. Reservations are a good idea, but we lucked out and found two seats at the bar. This is a great addition to McMinnville and it definitely will become our go to place in Yamhill County. read more

Is anyone else humbly Waiting for Godot in Spirit? It is always inspiring to see new perspectives in remodeled spaces. There is a lot to equalize to / from the legend of the "411" RIP- I will keep this brief in saying that this restaurant will likely find the gravity to ground its identity with "spirit", but, - a shell in a newly remodeled "beautiful" canvas, without an identity, is where it is now. Sparse menu, yet full of such blockbuster video hits as, cheeseburger, half chicken, beet salad, etc. fill in the blank, "bread"___ as Gastro pub fine dining is a full ticket price experience. You had me at hello, Jerry. How to proceed? Knowing the comfort of the blue moon radiates from across the street, there is a tractor beam of attraction out the windows. We know Godot will eventually be coming. Great friendly staff, and a fun place to see- I just need something to come back for, from up close, or afar. read more

We went there for a birthday celebration awhile ago. We weren't impressed. My cocktail tasted like window cleaner. The hostess hovered. A workstation for servers was in the center of the dining room and we were next to it. The menu was pedestrian, (hamburgers and "oreos"?) and the food was meh. Nothing I couldn't make better at home. I don't get all the hype. Average and expensive. read more

Best trout I've had! Unique preparation with the filet of the head, nice and crispy with all the fresh herbs and sauce. Wife loved the pasta and the meatballs with broth was amazing. We ended up staying at the inn the ground b&b which was coincidentally the same owner of the restaurant- both were great - those owners are doing something right. Highly recommend for good food at more affordable prices than other restaurants in the area. read more
