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.

    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 🤌🏼

    They changed their menu to be spicy and we were unaware of this change prior to choosing the restaurant. Our parents were not inclined to eat there so we asked for the check.
