"Jackrabbit alum Brett Uniss has been turning out polished but unpretentious farm-to-table plates since Humble Spirit opened in July 2022. He has now partnered with fellow Portland culinary expat Sarah Schafer, growing the culinary arm of the emerging Yamhill County-based hospitality company called the Ground. Humble Spirit’s food is elegant yet relaxed with an eye towards the omnivorous. Go for pasture-raised beef or pork from sibling businesses Tabula Rasa Farms and Source Farms; or a plate of beautifully executed handmade pasta with local sungold tomatoes, sweet corn, or whatever else happens to be in season. Its weekend brunch is also among the best in the area. Humble Spirit’s dishes read as rustic but are full of pleasant little surprises and elegant technical touches that make it a joy to dine there." - Katherine Chew Hamilton
