   This was the absolutely perfect place for our celebration. My love and I enjoyed the Omikase experience, and it blew us away! Not a detail was missed and by the end of our evening, we felt like part of the Joel Palmer House Restaurant family. Chef Czarnecki checked on us throughout the evening and every member of the service staff was at our table at some point to ensure we had a memorable time. The amazing Sommelier and House Manager, Levi, has created an incredible wine list and taken great care of all the small details. We are already planning our next visit! Highly recommend placing this experience on your bucket list.

   The five course tasting menu was beautiful to the eye, and just as exquisite to the palate. Mushrooms were the thread, but a strong NW feature of fish, fowl and meat are on the menu. There are surprises and delights in a lovely ambience.

   My husband and I decided to have our yearly traditional dinner to celebrate the Holidays at Joel Palmer House. They have two selections for a Prix Fixe menu. Mushrooms are the focus here, but used in such a creative way and each dish a beautiful presentation. A perfect place for a special occasion in the beautiful Willamette Valley.

   Impeccable service, ambiance that transports, and, of course, the flow of lovingly, expertly, creatively conceived (and presented) courses and punctuating palate cleansers. We live here and choose Joel Palmer House for the really important celebrations in our lives.

   Joel Palmer House is one of the top restaurants in the Northwest. The things they do to mushrooms are amazing! My favorite dish is the mushroom soup, but the entire meal is incredible. Well worth the visit when in Oregon.

    The Chef/Owner was very kind and personable, caring yet non-intrusive. The staff was impeccable in every way. I chose your restaurant as the primary gift for my partner's birthday, and I am extremely pleased. He felt very pampered. Thank you! See you again soon.

    I am moved to post this review out of sheer awe and culinary astonishment. Simply one of the most pleasant and creative dining experiences I've had, ever. There are so many things I appreciate about Joel Palmer House, I can't go there. You'd hate me. But here's some bullet points: -the best, most creative mushroom dishes you will have the pleasure of consuming. -a wine list for us wine osz -they do that thing where the gratuity is set. The staff all get benefits and living wages and were all very relaxed and happy. This permeated the experience. Very relaxed and thoughtful. Loved it. -atmosphere, very cool

    While the food was delicious, it was not worth the value. But the worst part was the wine list which was ridiculously overpriced. They pride themselves on their local wine list but they should realize that anyone local can recognize that they are gouging on wine prices.

    Wife and I are celebrating our 19 yr anniversary and chef Chris and his amazing staff made it an experience to remember. I will tell my children, family and friends of the experience and will always remember it with my lovely wife. Chef Chris and his awesome team made it an experience of a lifetime, thank you again. For anyone curious to try, do it! The historic home is beautiful and only regret was not seeing it during the day from the outside. The restaurant chef is fourth generation and tied together with the historic home is an absolute amazing story. While the restaurant is an intimate setting, it was nice to meet other guest. Made the experience as if eating at home with friends and family.

    Unforgettable, unique, delicious, incredible dinner! Up there with my GOAT dinners! The food was exquisite, and the service was out of this world. Remarkable. Everyone who works at this restaurant came over to say “Hi” and make sure we were being taken care of, not waiting for anything. From the bread (so fabulous) to dessert, a truly amazing evening. We were talking about a return visit before we left the restaurant.

    While not for the faint of pocket book, this is an excellent fine dining experience. The food is masterful, with the complex items in harmony, and the simpler items elevated to brilliance. The mushroom puree has to be tasted to be believed. Their wine list is extensive and the staff is happy to make suggestions and take feedback. Everyone there was focused on making dining a joy. We will absolutely be dining there again.
