The Joel Palmer House

As 4th generation restaurateur and chef, I am honored to be carrying on the family tradition and proud to share our family's passion for fine dining. I've spent the majority of my life in and out of kitchens (Pennsylvania, Germany, France, Oregon, and Iraq). And upon returning home from my service in the US Army in 2006, my father asked me if I wanted to join the family business. In 2008 my folks retired and it has been my goal to build upon my family's rich traditions and continue to deliver superb cuisine and outstanding experiences to our guests.

The Joel Palmer House ranks as one of Oregon's finest historic homes and is on both Oregon and National Historic Registers in downtown Dayton. Our cuisine revolves around wild mushrooms, truffles, and the local Oregon bounty of fresh produce and Pinot Noir.
