Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in McMinnville

We were seated near the bar and it was noisy because of server traffic. And we were cold.

Deviled eggs had a perfect spice! Screen door Platter for an entree - mac & cheese, chicken tenders and lime cilantro. All 10/10

I could not recommend Mediterranean Exploration Company enough! Everything we ate was 11/10. We also sat at the counter and watched the chefs, which was incredible. Truly one of the best restaurant experiences we’ve ever had and we will definitely be returning to try all of the foods that we didn’t get to try. Highly recommend the crispy lamb hummus with pita and spiced carrots dishes. Falafel and grilled octopus dishes were also delicious!

The Departure. Is one of our favorite restaurants, particularly when they serve Duck Feast in December. Service is always attentive, The staff really works together. Highly recommend.

We had breakfast/brunch. It was such a nice experience. Our server was Whitney, and she did an excellent job making sure we knew what the featured items were, tending to our table and just being really personable. We tried the French toast bites- oh my! Those are a new favorite. We shared the steak/potatoes/eggs meal, and the crab benedict. The steak was cooked just right, and there was plentiful, delicious crab in the benedict. The crab really stood out as a highlight of our meal because it was so fresh-tasting and had a good bite to it. It was a nice ambiance, with a view of the foothills, and we left happy and content.
