“ The Re-imagined Okta with a Pre-fix menu was a delightful surprise. The new "Lower prices" provided an acceptable value for a fine dining restaurant. There were a few tweaks needed, but for a first week, we were happily surprised ”
“ I recently celebrated my 40th birthday with Sunday Supper at ōkta and it was an incredible experience. I cannot wait to go back. Deliciously thought out local food, warm atmosphere, and extremely kind staff, right in the heart of McMinnville. A new favorite for sure! ”
“ So glad I could eat here before it becomes a future Michelin restaurant. Such amazing food and service. Comparable to other Michelin restaurants like st. Lawrence and published on Main in Vancouver ca. The pictures speak for itself, and the food was amazing. My favorite was the asparagus and black truffle. As well as the Uni. And the pizzelle that tasted like an onion ring. Everything is seasonal and I want to come back when they have either white asparagus or purple asparagus. Evidently I missed it by a couple weeks. ”
“ Wow, wow, wow. We came here for my birthday dinner and it did not disappoint. Each course was so thoughtful and delicious. Plus we got the wine pairing and each wine was so complex and yummy on its own, but then when paired with the food it was taken to a whole different level of delicious. Ambiance was lovely. They had a nice playlist going. Staff was so nice and helpful, especially loved our sommelier Alexandra - she was so knowledgeable and helpful with the wines. Loved that the wine pairing included such a variety from both the Willamette valley and all over the world + newer releases and more library selections. Can really not emphasize enough how well the wine paired with the food. Although the plates are small, we left very full! Would definitely come back to celebrate another special occasion. ”
“ I’ve never been one to “love” and write home about the Michelin star tasting menus. I always leave hungry. I always eat some strange live eel or animal organ I don’t want to eat. But this…this was incredible. The menu was brilliantly paired with insanely delectable wines. We ate and devoured everything brought to the table. We left full. We left happy and playful with our bellies and hearts full. The entire experience was comfortable while still feeling top notch. ”
“ My wife is Spanish, and fancy. We were searching for a place in Oregon for our monthly anniversary. Our Yacht was too big for the docks on the Oregon coast, so we were forced to travel by ground transportation. Initially, I was worried. However, after requesting chat GPT find the fanciest restaurant in Oregon and then telling it “fancier” five additional times, we ended up finding this restaurant. We were delightfully surprised at how land based restaurants can deliver such quality food. Apparently, they make the wine locally, instead of having it imported from Sicily or France. I did not know that this was possible. The arugula tasted fresh, and the chulatilla de coredero let out a subtle “Baaa” as I savored it. The whole experience reminded me of the food my childhood chef would make. My only complaint is that they do not allow “dogs”, and that they included my cavapoo in this description. I will subtract one star for this, leaving them at five stars, as my scale goes to six. All together, we were impressed how they could bring this culinary experience to the average people. Bravo, ōkta farm and kitchen! Although we did not experience the farm. To anyone considering exploring the mainland, it is worth the dinghy ride. ”
“ The restaurant itself is inside the Tributary Hotel. The open kitchen lets you watch the chefs at work. The four-course tasting menu is available with wine pairings. We first chose the tomato tart. The Formage Blanc cheese inside was incredibly rich and creamy, and the puff pastry was fragrant and crispy. I loved it. My friend had the sqaush, which was just average. The second dish I recommend is the cod, with kimchi as a side dish, perfect for Asian palates. The cod was delicious, and the kimchi had a nice, tart, and sharp flavor. My friend's shellfish pasta was just average, and I wouldn't recommend it. The third main course was grass-fed beef. The texture was impeccable. The accompanying tart jam sauce was a novelty and interesting touch. My friend also had the ribs, which were also very good. The steak was generously coated in a fresh tomato sauce. It wasn't as rich as traditional American barbecue, but it had the slightly sweet, refreshing flavor I love. For dessert, I ordered an orange gelato, which was delicious. The fruit brownie was a bit lackluster; the cake itself felt a bit loose and lacked the richness a brownie should have. It also didn't really go well with the accompanying peach jam. At the end, the restaurant gave us two tiny chocolate hazelnut treats. Throughout the meal, the waiter explained the origins of each dish, including which organic farm it came from and what ingredients were used. While the overall style was more important than the substance, it was quite interesting to watch the chefs prepare the dishes and then serve them in unison. ”
“ Okta’s Sunday Supper #3 (9/28/25) was phenomenal! The tender pot roast, fresh field salad, homie cornbread with seasoned butter, and divine cheesecake burst with flavor, every bite tasting so fresh and dreamy! Tina’s warm service felt like family, and the roasted hazelnut gift was a lovely touch. Booking via OpenTable was a breeze. Modern and elegant, Okta’s farm-to-table vibe is a must-try. 5/5 stars! ”
