Okta, a restaurant at the Tributary Hotel in McMinnville, initially established itself as a fine dining destination under Chef Matthew Lightner, known for his innovative style. After gaining acclaim as one of Oregon wine country’s best, Okta closed unexpectedly after its second year. However, a revival is on the horizon: the restaurant will reopen as Okta Farm and Kitchen in May under the leadership of Chef Christy Smith, featuring a simplified, four-course prix fixe menu that emphasizes local collaboration and reflects her extensive culinary background in the Willamette Valley.
"Okta introduced itself to the Willamette Valley as a fine dining experience with a connected farm, larder, and fermentation lab, aiming to capture the region's essence in innovative dishes."
"After a sudden closure two years post-opening, Okta is set to reopen as Okta Farm and Kitchen, featuring a more modest four-course prix fixe menu that reflects collaborative efforts in Oregon wine country."
