Restaurants near Dovre Peak Wayside

Food (In two words, Best Ever), Service (Server was very knowledgeable, helped guide us thru the menu and genuinely loves the product she's serving!), Overall Experience (would give more than 5 stars if we could), Value (perfect portions for sharing) & Price (excellent price/value and really not even a consideration) all score 5 stars Ambiance I would give a 3. Proof that you should never judge a book by its cover, although such a gem is a bit of a misfit sitting amidst a busy pizza place and market. They are re-locating so not an issue future-state. Hayward is described as "defining new NW cuisine" and based on our Wed night experience, that would be an understatement. On this particular menu, loved the Asian twist from the Raab Tempura (could not get enough of those kombu chips with just the right amount of heat) to the Black Cod w/ginger chips and lentils to an endive salad that was dressed to perfection. And diners would be re-miss not to start with the Sesame focaccia bread made in house. Chef Kari clearly deserves not only to be nominated in James Beard's best NW chef category but more so, deserves to win! Quite possibly, the best food we've had in Oregon and maybe ever!

Wow! First the hostess graciously accommodated our arrival glitch. Then CJ and the food prep crew did a wonderful job preparing and serving our meal. Everything was truly world-class from the oil and aged vinegar served with the focaccia, to the home-made ginger beer, to the fresh vegetables and mozzarella in the Caprese salad, and the AMAZING short ribs and pasta. Wonderful food meets warm, capable service, it’s the perfect pairing! Thank you!

Intimate, authentic space with white tablecloths, mouthwatering specials, and spectacular food. We were delighted to discover this wonderful little French bistro in the heart of Willamette Valley wine country.

All the food was very well prepared and extremely tasty. Service was very attentive. I would go back again.

Amazing patio, servers are genuine and knowledgeable, Pinots from across several local AVA, Ribbon Ridge is my favorite, but note their bubbles too.
