Nestled in Oregon wine country, this charming newcomer dazzles with locally-sourced dishes and friendly vibes—perfect for a casual brunch or dinner.
"A McMinnville, Oregon restaurant known for its exceptional culinary offerings, led by Sarah Schafer." - Erin DeJesus
"A standout addition to McMinnville’s Third Street, Jackrabbit alum Brett Uniss has been turning out polished but unpretentious farm-to-table plates since Humble Spirit opened in July 2022. He’s now partnering 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." - Emily Teel, Rebecca Roland
"This McMinnville restaurant is participating in the James Beard Strawberry Shortcake Week, offering a unique take on the strawberry shortcake using Oregon strawberries." - Janey Wong
"Chef Brett Uniss of McMinnville’s Humble Spirit had been hoping to feature local Dungeness prominently in Christmas and New Year’s menus and was disappointed when the season opening was delayed well into January. With the season now open, Uniss plans to include Dungeness in crab pot pie and pasta specials in the weeks ahead." - Nathan Williams
"Humble Spirit, the new downtown McMinnville restaurant that opened in mid-July, is, at its heart, a farm-to-table restaurant. All the buzzwords are there: seasonal, small-batch, local, sustainable. These aren’t new ideas in Oregon wine country, where the changing menus at the area’s best restaurants — Mac Market, Pizza Capo, Red Hills Kitchen, the Painted Lady — all exemplify how local and seasonal sourcing impacts culinary creativity." - Emily Teel
