I make every
attempt to remain anonymous while reviewing each
restaurant. All meals are paid for by
myself.
This way, I can report the most honest and
trustworthy restaurant reviews possible. Other
recognizable critics frequently get special food
and service. I forgo any perks so that my
restaurant experience will be similar to yours.

Red Hills Provincial
Dining
Located in the Willamette Valley wine county,
this of one of the favorite stopping places after a wine tour. This is a family-run
restaurant with a wife-and-husband-chef team of owners/Chefs Richard and
Nancy Gherts. Housed in a charming 1920s craftsman
bungalow. The dining room is divided in to parts. At one end, the
former living room, you find a cozy fireplace. The west side of the dining
room, appropriately the former dining room, houses built in china cabinets.
Entrée's are well prepared and artistically
plated. The menu is changed according to the season and regional
availability of foods. My husband and I have dined there many times since
they opened in 1992. It continues to be one of our favorite restaurants in the
Willamette Valley wine area, as the food is always great!
Dishes
we ordered with comments:
Appetizers:
Soup du Jour - Potato soup with chicken stock base with cabbage,
apples, and mushrooms. $7.00
This was absolutely delicious! I wondered how the cabbage would
meld with the apples, and it worked!
Entrees:
Strawberry Mountain Short Ribs of Beef Braised in Pinot Noir served
with Creamy Polenta (All entrées come with a salad of mixed organic
greens.) $28.00
My husband was very pleased with this dish. The beef ribs
were fork tender and very tasty.
Desserts:
The dessert menu
included three baked desserts and five different home made ice
creams, all priced at $7.00 each.
Home Made Lavender Ice Cream. $7.00
We like to share
dessert.
Since we both had ordered heavier main dishes, we opted for some
ice cream. This ice cream was delicious with a hint of lavender. The
presentation included a shortbread star and solid chocolate
squiggles. Perfectly done!
