"I had a wonderful birthday dinner at La Rambla! I traveled from Denver with a group of seven friends in their twenties to celebrate my birthday and explore the Willamette wine country. The restaurant had a wide variety of dishes, including options for vegans and vegetarians. Having studied in Southern Spain during college, I had not yet found a Spanish restaurant in the US that captured the delicious food and atmosphere I experienced there. La Rambla not only served amazing food, but also brought back fond memories. The staff was accommodating when I called to change my reservation to a later time on the same night. Although the flat iron steak entree took longer than expected for four of us, we understood as we were a large group that arrived close to closing time. Our server, Justin, kept the bread and olive oil coming to keep us satisfied. I look forward to dining here again on my next visit!"

"we had another fantastic culinary experience here. we got the fondue together with a duck and chicken dish, which were both excellent, but the duck was the better of the two. we also got the cream-coloured dessert and a beautiful bottle of wine for dinner. there is a huge wine list and we have an excellent suggestion from the owner on a bottle that has what we have ordered."

"This was one of the most disappointing meals I've had in a long time. The Large Appetizer Combo was filled with old, soggy items, and the crab Rangoon tasted quite bad. I ended up having to throw the entire dish away. The roll was good, though. I understand that restaurants are struggling and I want to support them, but I just can't keep ordering food like this."

"I was not impressed with the breakfast at this restaurant. The potatoes were red potatoes cut into large chunks and served warm, which isn’t what I expect from typical breakfast potatoes. The bread was just warm, not toasted, and the bacon was overcooked. The fried egg was decent, but it’s hard to mess that up. The water for tea wasn’t hot, but the waitress was friendly—she was really the only highlight of my visit, aside from the egg. I don't understand why people wait in line to eat here…what's the appeal?"

"This is a treasure of a restaurant in McMinnville. My wife and I stayed 3 nights in McMinnville and we ate two nights in a row when all this says about food. First, the cocktails we had really met after two long days. We had her cocktail called Brooklyn #2. It was so good that I had 2 in the first night and 2 of them in the second night. Maybe I had three on the second night. They were excellent and pretty lazy what we both enjoyed. My wife who loves rye also shared both nights in her enjoyment of Brooklyn #2 that we visited the fine institution, as well. My mouth watered the foie grass and it was lawful. The foie grass was so satisfying. I was thinking of ordering someone else and not ordering a duck, but I thought I should try other food there. My wife had the Pork Rillettes and shared it with me. This is one of two dishes that we ordered 2 nights in a row. It was an unwavering understanding. I'm not a pig fan at all, but the Pork Rillettes had so incredibly deep taste. The mustard and pickles complicated the Pork Rillettes so that I also thought of ordering another simply because the flavors almost leave you immediately addicted. However, I have accused the logic that I should participate in the moderation and rely on it. In addition, we had the Rockfish entrée both evenings that we visited, which taught me a few different types of flavors, which taught me a valid and valuable lesson that fish dishes can taste every bit as good as any ol' solid beef dish, and even better. The Rockfish bowl had pearl couscous, which bursts with taste in the mouth, and the combination of fennel and citrus left my mouth for more salivation. I was amazed and open, shocked, by the incredibe aromas of this Rockfish dish that I did not eat captive dead a few years ago. Thistle taught me a few things during our two visits. # Don't be closed over pork because it could be something you really enjoy. #2 Small cocktails can be as satisfying as the larger cocktails. #3 Your fish dishes can make a lasting impression that you can come back as soon as possible. #4 - the most obvious and most important you can say that the good people at Thistle REALLY enjoy what they do because it is quite obvious in the food they prepare and share with their customers. I would just like to thank them for having so much pleasure in what they do and to translate this joy into so wonderfully flavored and pleasant dishes. We will definitely come back."
