Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in Dayton

Excellent service combined with wonderful food makes a great experience!!!

Jason was a fabulous server and all staff were friendly and helpful

Um, I lived for over 25 years in Newberg, saw The Allison/Jory built, and have enjoyed their restaurant over the years by ordering from the entree menu. They have changed their game. Apparently, the chef got a brand new kitchen in January 2025 and their tasting menu is Pacific Northwest-themed. My wife and I enjoyed our own selections from each of four courses so we could try most of everything. My wife is a total foodie. To put it shortly, the tastes were exquisite and presentations were works of art. Out of the menu selections, we liked best: Ocean Experience, Black Cod, and Venison Loin. They were able to work with our gluten free, dairy free, and non-alcoholic preferences. Even though we didn't select the more expensive menu options, the waiter still treated us like valued guests. (To be fair, this is still an expensive restaurant which would beyond the reach of many people, but the value of the experience makes it worth what you spend, if you can swing it.) Because of the world we live in, it is important to mention that we are a lesbian couple and no service staff batted an eye at that. Queer safe venue. Overall, I was positively stunned by the elevation of the Jory experience and would love to visit again for really special occasions. We agreed that Michelin should be on their doorstep as soon as they can. Well done!

From start to finish….a stellar dinner experience. The appetizers (charcuterie with bread board) were the perfect start to the dinner. I enjoyed the meat-filled dumplings. The husband enjoyed the cabbage rolls. The adult beverage menu was very impressive. The non alcohol drink list was creative and interesting. Thank you for helping us celebrate our 36th year anniversary. We can’t wait to return and enjoy more culinary treats from your kitchen.

We enjoyed our prefix dinner selections. My wife's tenderloin steak was grilled medium-rare as ordered with shrimp paired with it. She enjoyed the bone marrow butter torched over the steak at the table; a nice presentation. I ordered the Lobster that was served breaded with béarnaise. It was cooked nicely, but I learned that I prefer just the tail with lemon butter. Our server Adam, was helpful, friendly and timely with our meal, not too fast or slow. He was provided good support with a team to meet all needs. The manager stopped by our table to see if we had everything we needed; I always appreciate seeing the management interacting with customers. No one seemed rushed or stressed making a for a pleasant atmosphere. Of course the view is great from the 30th floor.
