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.

    Hayward was born at Mac Market—fueled by wild ideas, strong drinks, and a community that showed up hungry. You gave us more than just support—you gave us a home. Two years of laughter, late nights, and plates passed across the table later, we're packing up and heading down the road. But not before one last, late-night hurrah. Join us for Goodbye Stranger, a no-holds-barred farewell party and fundraiser to help launch Hayward 2.0, in Carlton. This isn’t goodbye—it’s a love letter. A thank you. A dance, dance, dance, party to close this chapter and raise a glass to the community that helped us make this dream into reality. $50 gets you in the door and onto the dance floor. Snacks are on us, drinks on you. This is more than a party—it’s a fundraiser, a birthday, a thank you, and a very stylish “see you soon.” What’s going down: 🎶 Live DJ and dancing into the night 🍸 Cash bar to keep the vibes flowing 🍴 Late-night snacks by the Hayward culinary crew (you know the ones)

    The food was absolutely phenomenal but coming in for the first time I was super confused by the atmosphere. I was definitely expecting something with like a low lit Ambience and more of a restaurant but instead it was a random area inside of a market which was also selling pizza so it was super confusing smelling the pizza while eating halibut? Don't get me wrong though the food was absolutely amazing but the ambience really threw me off. Not what I was expecting at all when I hear the word James Beard or fancy restaurant but the food was fantastic!

    The homemade pasta with pork belly was amazing, melt in your mouth! The halibut perfectly cooked and we loved the sesame bread as everyone had told us to order! Cocktails were delicious. Service impeccable! The only warning I want to be sure to share is that you must give 24 hour notice to cancel or you will be charged $30 a person. We missed this. We had been here after a memorial and were emotionally worn out so wanted to cancel, but were told of their policy. in the end, the food soothed our souls.

    What more could you ask for? Farm to table dishes that were so unique - flavorful, plentiful & gorgeous. Culinary euphoria! It’s all about taking your time, savouring the flavors & enjoying the moments. Service & staff were exceptional. 'Laissez les bons temps rouler'. Thank you, Hayward!

    We had a wonderful dinner at Hayward! We were a group of six and therefore automatically shared meals family style. I asked the staff ahead of time if two different dietary restrictions in our group could be accommodated, and they did so with aplomb. We ate multiple courses of delicious food, from appetizers and salad to roasted veggies, pasta, and eventually both a meat and vegan dish, topped off with a delightfully light and flavorful fruit dessert. The drinks were also tasty! While the price was high, the food, perfect service, and atmosphere were worth it for a special outing with friends.
