"Led by a James Beard Foundation–nominated chef and Eleven Madison Park alumna, this venue brings fine-dining precision to comforting, community-minded cuisine." - Wendy Pramik
"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
"Sarah Schafer was named a semifinalist in the Best Chef: Northwest and Pacific category." - Erin DeJesus
"I can try Humble Spirit’s strawberry shortcake offering during the inaugural James Beard Strawberry Shortcake Week (June 19-27); Humble Spirit in McMinnville is included among the 26 participating Oregon restaurants partnering with local strawberry growers for their takes on the dessert, supporting the James Beard Public Market and Oregon Taste." - 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
