The Joel Palmer House Restaurant

The Joel Palmer House Restaurant Our family business took shape when my great-grandfather, Joseph Czarnecki, opened Joe's Tavern in 1916 in Reading, Pennsylvania. We’re glad you are here.

In the heart of the Willamette Valley, the Joel Palmer House serves Oregon on a plate: wild mushrooms, truffles, and the world’s largest collection of Willamette Valley Pinot Noir. His son, Joseph Jr., carried on the tradition, transforming the original tavern into Joe's Restaurant and changing the focus to fine dining and wine with wild mushrooms (a family passion) as the centerpiece. My father,

Jack Czarnecki, followed in his father's footsteps, taking Joe's Restaurant to a new level while maintaining the mushroom theme. Despite the success of Joe's, our family's lifelong desire was to combine great mushroom hunting with fine wine. This dream was fully realized in 1996 when my parents, Jack & Heidi, purchased The Joel Palmer House and moved the family and the restaurant west. Our cooking revolves around wild mushrooms and truffles which we gather ourselves and with friends. We have always striven to obtain locally raised ingredients in our cooking, and we use many locally produced greens, herbs, and vegetables. Frequently we will use ingredients found in the cuisines of Mexico, China, Thailand, Poland, and India, so we call our cooking, “freestyle”. And, of course, we are working hard to create dishes which match the glorious wines of Oregon, especially Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, and Chardonnay. The Joel Palmer House which is on the National as well as Oregon Historic Register. Joel Palmer was one of Oregon's preeminent pioneers leaving Indiana in 1845 to make his long way west. Joel Palmer founded the town of Dayton in 1848 and built this home in 1857. HOUSE RULES:

A simple note from all of us at the Joel Palmer House:
the table is set for summer, and we'd love to see you.
It's one of the best times of year to be in the Valley. Our wild-mushroom tasting menus are at their seasonal best, the cellar is deep, and the 1857 house is as welcoming as ever. Whether it's been a few months or a few years, there's never a wrong reason to come back to Dayton.
