Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Kari Shaughnessy

From the OpenTable editors: After a day of tasting Pinot in the Willamette Valley, Hayward in the Mac Market warehouse is where you'll want to post up for dinner. Led by chef Kari Shaughnessy, the team breaks down whole animals, pickles vegetables, bakes sourdough, and crafts a simple but ambitious menu that makes it a standout in the region. The restaurant even snagged a James Beard Awards nomination in 2024, shining a spotlight on McMinnville's culinary bounty.

Philosophy

An enriching culinary experience, we set out to create delicious dinners while following a strict ethos on sourcing. We hold close relationships with all of our farmers and ranchers, making a uniquely personal menu. Dishes change weekly based on what is available on the farm and in the larder. While everything is sourced in a tight radius, the flavors are inspired by our travels and memories.

    The bartender was so great so we decided to sit at the bar for dinner. Her cocktails were tops and she was great to chat with. We did the “kick back” which let us taste several things from the menu. Everything was amazing!

    Although the menu is different every time (as it relies on seasonal produce and local providers), everything is consistently first rate. The food is delicious and innovative without ever being precious or pretentious. The atmosphere is relaxed and casual, with none of the "airs" or attitudes one sometimes encounters in high-end restaurants. The wine, beer, and cocktail menu is thoughtful and impressive; there are also excellent N/A options. My favorite local restaurant, and my first choice for visitors or special occasions. Highest recommendation.

    The best way to go to Hayward is with friends and/or family in abundance. Order everything on the menu and share it amongst yourselves (it's even a menu option). And get out there soon because the Nostalgia series fun won't last forever (we were there for Breakfast for Dinner). I could tell you my favorite this time, but you really should try as many of the dishes as you can because they are all just that tasty and showcase how good local, seasonal food can be...and don't forget the mocktails.

    I’m a bit biased as the crew at Hayward are my friends but genuinely they have worked so hard to make every aspect of your visit so inviting. Table service was excellent but not too pushy. The food was incredible and came out in decent time frames. If you order staggered or do the kickback (which I highly recommend) it never feels like you’re waiting around for things. You get to enjoy each item without feeling rushed to finish it so you can get to the next one. The dining room is nice, quiet but not too quiet you can still hear the hustle and bustle of the rest of the building which I think is charming to have such an incredible space in a community building like that. I think Hayward is the perfect spot if you like the idea of meals made with the seasons and like a bit of adventure to your meal.

    We had three for Kick Back and it was delicious, fun, and well-paced. The cocktail options matched the menu (our menu theme was Breakfast for Dinner) and we loved all the courses.

    This was our first visit to Hayward. We did the kick back menu option for a chef’s choice 5 course meal and it was amazing. Every dish was excellent and had unique flavors. The ambiance was elevated casual and the service was outstanding. We can’t wait to come back next season to try new menu items. Thank you so much!

    Great experience with food and staff. The food coming off this particular cook line is creative and fluid. These people are not responding to industry trends in their plated expressions. They are not preparing something better than someone else. Each dish was impressive and unique…passionately original. Well done I say to the crew at Hayward 🤌🏼
