Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Kari Shaughnessy

From the OpenTable editors: After a day of tasting Pinot in the Willamette Valley, Hayward in the Mac Market warehouse is where you'll want to post up for dinner. Led by chef Kari Shaughnessy, the team breaks down whole animals, pickles vegetables, bakes sourdough, and crafts a simple but ambitious menu that makes it a standout in the region. The restaurant even snagged a James Beard Awards nomination in 2024, shining a spotlight on McMinnville's culinary bounty.

Philosophy

An enriching culinary experience, we set out to create delicious dinners while following a strict ethos on sourcing. We hold close relationships with all of our farmers and ranchers, making a uniquely personal menu. Dishes change weekly based on what is available on the farm and in the larder. While everything is sourced in a tight radius, the flavors are inspired by our travels and memories.

    I can see why Hayward was nominated for the James Beard award. Food was wonderful, original and flavorful. Service was friendly and helpful. Highly recommend.

    Unique takes on old standby dishes. You will have to come and experience it for yourself because there is no way that I can make the food they made sound as good as it was. Bring a friend and sit down in the urban warehouse they call home. We enjoyed it and can't wait to return.

    Another fantastic dinner at Hayward We came for the Summer Camp menu. Out of the 3 Nostalgia dinners we thought this was the best! The steak tartare with smoky mushrooms were insanely good. Maybe best steak tartare I’ve ever had. The pastas were both excellent, the Fish and chips so good it’s ruined me for other versions. And the S’mores dessert…WOW! Flavor and textures were perfect. And as always the cocktails the bartenders dreamed up to pair with were delicious! Try the Tie dye cocktail for dessert, the appearance was with it but it tasted great too 😀

    Great space and service. Food was well-executed but lacked the originality and cohesion to justify the price.

    To start, Lauren was stellar! Great knowledge of and curation of an interesting wine list. Unlike others in the valley! We came during the Dinner at Grandma’s House experience. The dinner rolls with koji butter were perfectly dark-baked on the outside and soft on the inside. On the pickle plate, the maitake mushroom reminded us of a bowl of pho in one bite. We refrained from drinking from the bowl to get the last drops of broth with the pozole dumplings. The mussels and ling cod in the seafood bisque were as fresh as could be. Couldn’t recommend more a date night out at Hayward. 10 out of 10!

    This menu was insane! We loved it so much. Reading the menu you might not guess how the were going to represent breakfast but you take one bite and you’re instantly recognizing everything you love. This was a special themed menu for winter, so they don’t normally do breakfast. Knowing that made it even more impressive for the quality of it!

    What a great meal. From the very first dish, (just a sesame English muffin with koji butter, but astonishingly good,) to dessert, I was blown away. The Parisian gnocchi and the citrus salad were both out of this world. Chef’s Kari, Soren, Jon, and their kitchen team have outdone themselves with the very fun, limited-run Breakfast for Dinner Menu. Throw Dry January to the side for a night because the wine pairings were perfect. We drank our way through the glass pour options while we ate and the wines were delicious and fit seamlessly. Our server Lauren put the wine list together and clearly knows what she’s doing. I can’t wait for my next opportunity to eat at Hayward. Thank you to the whole team for creating such a great experience.
