Mushrooms are the heart of what we do at the Joel Palmer House. We have always endeavored to obtain seasonal and local ingredients and we use many locally produced greens, herbs, and vegetables, some of which come from our own culinary garden. We are frequently inspired by ingredients found in the cuisines of France, China, Thailand, Poland and India, so we call our cooking "freestyle." Our dishes pair well the celebrated wines of Oregon, especially Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris and Chardonnay. Our extensive, Oregon-focused wine list has been awarded the Best of Award of Excellence from Wine Spectator. Of special note, The Joel Palmer House ranks as one of Oregon's finest historic homes and is on the National Register of Historic Places and the Oregon Historic Register. Built in 1857, the house is Dayton's oldest standing structure. When weather permits, guests can enjoy their dinner on our outdoor patio, soaking in the last rays of sunshine in the heart of Oregon Wine Country.

    This was our first time at the Pink Door, one night I will never forget. From the moment we arrived the ambience made the experience feel classy. The decorations and lighting throughout fit the mood. Customer service and special request were accommodated positively and without hesitation. The menu was simple but not lacking, wasn’t an overwhelming amount to decide nor was it too small to not have options. The food was made at a high level with attention to detail and exquisite taste. It is where I proposed to my now fiancé and provided a night I can’t forget and will be somewhere we come for our special days. Go to the pink door, you will not be disappointed.

    Rosmarino offers an extraordinary dining experience that goes beyond just great food. Dario and his team are exceptional at what they do, creating fabulous dishes infused with passion and storytelling that truly bring their creations to life. The atmosphere embodies a warm, family-oriented spirit that makes every guest feel like part of something special. Adding to the magic, King’s North Winery joined the evening with expertly paired wines that elevated the meal to another level. The collaboration between Rosmarino and King’s North is a perfect partnership, making the experience not only enjoyable but unforgettable. I can’t wait to return for another dinner experience with Dario and his team. Highly recommend for anyone looking to savor not just food, but an evening filled with connection, flavor, and joy!
