About the restaurant

JORY, the signature restaurant at The Allison Inn & Spa, now offers an exquisite multi-course dinner tasting menu—available in 4, 5 or 7 courses—celebrating the region’s seasonal bounty. Each thoughtfully crafted dish tells the story of this remarkable place, with curated wine pairings from our renowned cellar. Dinner is served nightly in JORY from 5-9 p.m., with reservations opening 30 days in advance.

The Allison’s living room space has transformed into The Living Room of the Valley, a three-meal restaurant with expanded seating, terrace service, and longtime favorites like the Pinot Burger. Serving à la carte breakfast, lunch and dinner, small bites and libations, it’s a welcoming gathering place for locals and travelers alike. Walk-ins are welcome.

Our popular à la carte brunch continues on weekends and special holidays in both JORY and The Living Room of the Valley.

Eugene

About the restaurant

Marche, located in Eugene, Oregon, opened in August 1998. The restaurant, which seats 80 guests, has an exhibition kitchen featuring a beautiful wood-fired oven. There is also a stylish bar and a large outdoor dining area, covered with awnings and umbrellas and surrounded by a garden of herbs and edible flowers. Marche takes its name from the French word for market – a word that describes our location in the bustling 5th street Market and more importantly, our philosophy of cooking. The menu is based on the foods one would find at a farmer’s market: fresh, seasonal, and regional. Marche is committed to using only those ingredients that are at their best, so our menu evolves as we move through the seasons of the year. Marche also believes in using the highest quality and most healthful ingredients available and to that end use organic, free range, and chemical free products. The culinary technique is French-based: intensely flavored and simply but beautifully presented.

It had been a few years since I had been to Clarklewis and I last remember not being impressed. However total review rating prompted me to try again. My experience last week confirmed previous experience. I had a green salad that was fabulous however the scallops I had were not fresh, a little mushy and not cooked enough. The final down note was the cost. Very high priced for the quality of the food. Sorry to say I’m not going back.

The restaurant is an old cannery and has been converted beautifully. Large planking floors, high ceilings and a gorgeous selection of wines and spirits displayed everywhere.

About the restaurant

Locally sourced and seasonally inspired, Tavern on Kruse changes menus every 12 weeks as we weave the season's perfectly-fresh and perfectly ripe bounty into our offerings. Our executive chef, Nathan Bates, spent four and half years at the Michelin 3-Star "Fifth Floor" in San Francisco. Our space is elegant, but our staff is friendly and jovial as we see "people" as the reason for dining. We look forward to meeting you.
