   Absolute red carpet service. Exceptional attention to detail, thoughtful and attentive service and fresh tasteful food selections. I would put this restaurant up against anything in the state of Oregon, this is truly an experience.

   The Joel Palmer House absolutely deserves to be the first Michelin restaurant food in Oregon without question. I’ve never spent so much on a dinner and felt it was worth every penny.

   Milestone birthday dinner. Did not disapoint!! We have been coming to JPH for birthday, anniversary and just because since 2007. It is fine dining and high art combined on 10 plates. As wonderful as the food is, the imaginative presentations really raise the bar on what a true fine dining experience should be. When you go, be prepared for a three hour experience with the Omakase menu. Not to mention a mid three figures for two with wine and really great cocktails. But then, life is too short and unpredictable to not treat yourself!!!!

   A unique setting causing me to imagine attending a dinner hosted by a Prime Minister/Head of State! Tastings and presentation were that memorable. A staff member met us out in the parking lot holding an umbrella to shield us from a downpour, warmly escorting us into an ambience suggestive of a country estate. If one is proposing marriage and looking for the “perfect setting” consider this one.

   We have been going to Joes since the mid 1980's when they were in reading, PA. As always the food is excellent, and the service is way beyond great, and the JPH Cuvee selection was fantastic! We had the 10+ course Oregon Omakase dinner and while ALL courses were excellent, it was just way too much food. I hope that this experiment in offering a very limited menu (Beef Stro', Omakase and the "Tete de Cuvee) is short lived and the regular menu selections return

    No one was expecting having to pay exorbitant amount for an unknown menu. I was not informed that this would be the first day of a totally new price/menu . I miss the prior menu options! All in the dinner party, enjoyed a few of the servings, but overall everyone very disappointed. Cold restaurant, temperature. The service, weight staff remain exemplary
