   Jory is a very special restaurant with an amazing team of chefs! I'm always amazed at the quality, taste, and presentation of their dishes. Definitely one of Oregon's top culinary restaurants with exceptional service from start to finish. Everything from their flame broiled beef and pork to their soups, pastas, salads and fish are excellent. If you haven't dined at Jory's you are missing an Oregon treasure.

   Treated some friends to the JORY experience last night. They were blown away and we couldn't stop talking about how wonderful the night was. Staff was amazingly attentive and well trained, food was phenomenal (my partner is highly critical about his steaks and he was a very happy man), we enjoyed two delicious bottles of local wine, and truly just enjoyed every second. Thank you to the staff for hanging in there during these tough times and delivering like you always have. We'll be back soon!

   The only negative is we had ordered the Jory salad and then the salmon burger. The salmon burger came with the same Jory salad… And the waitress did not let us know… So it was a bit of a waste. Loved the desserts, sitting by the fireplace and the overall service.

    Food was quite good, but inconsistent. I had the albacore, which was seared and cool in the middle, as it should be, but somehow it was flavorless. It came with a grain side that was excellent, as was red cabbage. I cleaned my plate, but wouldn't order it again. My wife had a pork chop that was excellent - cooked medium, juicy, and very flavorful. The poached pear with it was done just right, cooked, but still a bit of crunch. The pumpkin pie side was dense and flavorless. I didn't try the brussel sprouts, but they looked unappealing and dry and were left on the plate. Again, good food, but wouldn't order it again. The service was excellent - attentive, but not intrusive, and earned a good tip. Ambiance was nice - dark wood, good lighting, reasonably quiet. We were 15 min early for our reservation because we allowed extra time to get there in snow and ice, but were a bit put-off when the hostess told us that they were sticking with the schedule and we'd have to wait to be seated. I would have understood if the restaurant was packed, but at least 1/3 of the tables were empty. Why couldn't they seat us and then delay us with a drink until we fit into their time-frame? Anyway, we're glad we went, but won't be returning.

    Christmas Eve lunch at The Jory was a delight. We went straight from a wonderful wine tasting at Hazelfern, literally just up the road. Appetisers of bacon & avocado fritters, and cauliflower marcona soup were delicious. The jory burger and truffled fried got rave reviews, as did the farro and carrot salad. my entree was the chicken hazelnut pot pie - absolutely sensational! Great service too!

    First time I feel compelled to leave a review for a restaurant. All I can say is, WOW! First 10/10 experience I’ve had in years (and I frequently dine at the top restaurants in MIA, NYC, LA, etc.). While all the other “nice” restaurants in Oregon are talking about how great they are, Jory is actually delivering. (Our server was Bailey)

    Not a great culinary experience overall with the exception of the outstanding dessert. The flavors of the soup, salad and entrees were just average and I was expecting much better. The vanilla crème brûlée was excellent. Really beautiful texture and flavor with crackling toffee and a good serving of plump berries on top. The soup portions were small and they weren’t piping hot when they came out. The arugula apple salad was overly drenched in a very acidic dressing so the flavors of the fresh vegetables were drowned out. The tuna melt open sandwich was a bit mushy with too much mayonnaise mixed in with the tuna and tasted a bit bland.

    Always a pleasant experience. Never fail to be pleasantly surprised by the chef's creativity. Loved being able to linger in a quiet environment and visit with an old time friend. And the drive to Newberg was an incredibly gorgeous bonus with all of the fall color.Wonderful day all around.

    Beautiful restaurant, presentation was exquisite but someone needs to take the salt shaker away from the chef. Every part of my salmon dish was so over salted that I could not enjoy it and was awake all night with salt bloat. Still sucking down water by the gallons a day later trying to flush out the salt taste.

    Excellent food. Good range of options, including at least one vegetarian soup and one vegetarian entree. Service was friendly. Solid wine list but a bit overpriced given the location right in the middle of Oregon's Wine Country. But definitely worth stopping in for lunch if you are out wine tasting.

    Quiet dining, yes. My entree was Halibut, nice prep and presentation, but for $40 was about 5 oz. serving. Very dainty! Experience formal and lacklustre personality.

    Really a superb meal, great flavors, beautiful presentation. At the suggestion of our kindly and knowledgeable server, we ordered one tasting menu and one a la cadre, which seemed just the right amount of food for the two of us. The wine pairings were outstanding; not wines we would have thought of, but really interesting, almost a primer on how much wine pairings can matter. The restaurant is beautiful, but with COVID restrictions it was pretty sparsely populated, so it lacked that ‘buzz’ we all love. Also, the lighting at our table was too bright; our server tried to have it dimmed, but not entirely. Not a big deal, but nevertheless, it detracted. Overall, a memorable meal, well worth the price and journey.

    Went to get the halibut on their website menu for 18, they took it off and only fish they had was salmon and 38! Salmon is inferior to halibut and for 38 didn’t include a salad total rip off! Also no one there and still waited 10 minutes for a server! Unacceptable!
