Mushrooms are the heart of what we do at the Joel Palmer House. We have always endeavored to obtain seasonal and local ingredients and we use many locally produced greens, herbs, and vegetables, some of which come from our own culinary garden. We are frequently inspired by ingredients found in the cuisines of France, China, Thailand, Poland and India, so we call our cooking "freestyle." Our dishes pair well the celebrated wines of Oregon, especially Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris and Chardonnay. Our extensive, Oregon-focused wine list has been awarded the Best of Award of Excellence from Wine Spectator. Of special note, The Joel Palmer House ranks as one of Oregon's finest historic homes and is on the National Register of Historic Places and the Oregon Historic Register. Built in 1857, the house is Dayton's oldest standing structure. When weather permits, guests can enjoy their dinner on our outdoor patio, soaking in the last rays of sunshine in the heart of Oregon Wine Country.

    First time visit but won’t be the last! We had such an enjoyable time for my husband’s birthday. My husband had the lasagna, my stepdaughter had the penne pasta with meat sauce and I loved the Cache el Pepe linguine with prosciutto and aged Parmesan. We all loved our dishes. Our server was delightful and gave us excellent service. Highly recommend.

    What an amazing and unique experience. It is tough to get a reservation at this amazing place, and Dario, Sheena, Julia (I hope that was right), and then the other staff and chefs made this a much more creative experience. I think we asked several questions, so the event took about 4 hours. Make sure you park accordingly, as most is only 2 hours in Newberg, though if you do the 4pm dinner class, the parking ends at 6, so you should be okay. Dario's enthusiasm, humor, honesty, and hard work shows in all they do. I suggest you sign up to their facebook/email updates as you won't find Northern Italian restaurants in many places. Strongly recommend you do this at least once.

    I love the servers here. They absolutely love to make you feel welcomed and happy. Came here for a date night, even though they were a little delayed/held back for our reservation, the wait wasn’t extremely long. And they made sure to make it up to us by providing free appetizer and dessert. 5/5 would recommend for a nice date night.

    Some friends got married on short notice after thirty years together so we impulsively invited them to a celebratory dinner on short notice. It was also a third guests birthday. On the drop down menu, we called it a "special occaision" but to get special attention such as what my husband and I have enjoyed for our own anniversary last month, I should have chosen anniversary or birthday. Nonetheless, the service and food were excellent. The booth for five very comfortably seated us for light conversation with a view of the river for four out of five. From time to time some other guests were rather loud, but overall, for most of our meal, the noise level was low enough to converse in inside voices. In December, Salty's offered a reward for buying gift cards. I did so and highly recommend the ease with which I redeemed the rewards for our anniversary and used a good chunk of the gift card for this evening's dinner.

    Bistro Maison was the perfect choice for celebrating our anniversary. The food was wonderful, and the service excellent. Our server even took photographs and texted them to us. We will definitely return!
