This restaurant had been highly recommended to us and we weren't disappointed. It's in a home right on Rte. 99W. The dining room is comfortably furnished with more than adequate spacing being the tables. The staff was friendly and concerned. With our appetizers, we ordered a 2001 Chehalem Pinot Gris Reserve which we had tasted at the winery that morning. Our appetizers were:

A Smoked Fish Plate with Caper Aioli. The sturgeon and salmon were delicate and wonderfully flavored.

Dungeness Crab Cakes with Mango Sauce. These were good, but I would have preferred a litle less breading and a little more kick to the sauce.

With our entrees, I had brought a decanted 1997 Ferrari-Carano Tresor. While I was talking with our wiatress about the wine, a young man at a nearby table approached us and asked if I was Board-O. He posts here on occasion under the moniker Maresh. His family owns the Willamette Valley winery by that name. I poured him a taste of our wine and the waitress pulled him aside and took the glass away. Apparently he wasn't 21 yet. I felt a little stupid. Well, it wasn't the first or the last time. Our entrees:

Oregon Troll King Salmon. A straightforward presentation that was well-prepared, moist, and now overwhelmed or hidden by the sauce.

Grilled Breast of Duck with Sauce Magritte. The sauce was a Pinot noir reduction and it was good, but I prefer the zip of green peppercorn sauce with breast of duck.

Both entrees were accompanied by a slection of vegetables perfectly prepared.

This is a fine place to dine in the Willamette Valley. The room was comfortable, the food fine, and the service ideal.
