Restaurants near Wilson River Highway Forest State Park

The warm beet salad was worth the trip. I truly wish that the chefs would use just a pinch or two of salt in the pasta water or the sauce so that the delicate flavors would be enhanced. There’s a very one-note, flour forward flavor in my opinion. I can always ask for salt at the table — have and will continue to do so if necessary.

Plan on a leisurely date night. Kind of nice to be at a table and welcomed to stay awhile vs being pushed out to flip the table.

The Cuvee is a charming local treasure. We have so few choices of chef run restaurants locally in the Mc Minnville - Carlton area that offer such a great place to eat and enjoy. Cuvee stands out and offers a French ambience and excellent food and service. It is a favorite!

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.

Alea Bakery and Cafe knocked it out of the park again with their latest pop-up! Can’t wait for the next one!!!
