Overview
Address ōkta | farm and kitchen, Northeast 3rd Street, McMinnville, OR, USA Reservations Yes
ōkta opened in July 2022 under chef Matthew Lightner, formerly of New York’s two-Michelin-starred Atera. It earned a James Beard semifinalist nod and considerable national attention before closing abruptly two years later. After seven months dark, it reopened in May 2025 with chef Christine Smith leading a new team and a new structure — a four-course prix fixe organized around Field, Sea, Pasture, and Pantry, with roughly three choices in each. Dinner runs $100 per guest with wine pairing at $65, down sharply from a previous tasting menu that approached $300 before beverages.
The menu is shaped by the day’s harvest from ōkta farm and by regional producers across the valley; the four-course framework stays constant while the dishes move with the season. The dining room seats 26. Recent guests have highlighted a Sunday Supper series served family style — a more casual, shareable format that has become a draw of its own. Wine service leans local and is knowledgeably run. Dress is smart casual; the room is warm and modern inside a historic building.
Yes — book through the Tributary Hotel website or OpenTable. It’s a small room and fills quickly. $100 per person for the four-course menu, $65 for the wine pairing. Thursday through Sunday, 5–9 PM. No, though hotel guests get easier access to tables.
