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.

    Hayward was born at Mac Market—fueled by wild ideas, strong drinks, and a community that showed up hungry. You gave us more than just support—you gave us a home. Two years of laughter, late nights, and plates passed across the table later, we're packing up and heading down the road. But not before one last, late-night hurrah. Join us for Goodbye Stranger, a no-holds-barred farewell party and fundraiser to help launch Hayward 2.0, in Carlton. This isn’t goodbye—it’s a love letter. A thank you. A dance, dance, dance, party to close this chapter and raise a glass to the community that helped us make this dream into reality. $50 gets you in the door and onto the dance floor. Snacks are on us, drinks on you. This is more than a party—it’s a fundraiser, a birthday, a thank you, and a very stylish “see you soon.” What’s going down: 🎶 Live DJ and dancing into the night 🍸 Cash bar to keep the vibes flowing 🍴 Late-night snacks by the Hayward culinary crew (you know the ones)

    Food was great and creative, although a bit salty for our tastebuds. PTO cocktail was delicious, service was very smooth and friendly. We were there for an early dinner and initially the food came out almost too quickly, so as to feel slightly rushed, but staff were very responsive to requests to slow it down so we could savor the meal.

    Our server was wonderful. She was very patient with our table of 5 women who can be somewhat particular. Our shared plates came to the table in a timely manner and all our needs were met beautifully thruout the multi course meal. The food was sublime!
