About

At Rafns', we work directly with Oregon growers to provide the highest quality food products available. Our goal is to support farming practices that respect our land and strengthen our community. What We Do: We use certified organic olive oil and butter. We use cage-free and free-range eggs. We use meats that are local, drug-free, and humanely-raised. For real. We make our own gelatin-rich bone broth. We use organic, non-irradiated herbs, spices, and chocolate from local suppliers. We use organic produce from local farmers and purveyors, with very few exceptions. We take pride in the cleanliness of our kitchen. What We Don't Do: We don't use MSG. We don't use trans fats or refined oils. We don't use teflon or synthetic cookware. We don't use genetically modified ingredients. We don't own a microwave. These are the standards and values that guide us. If you share these values, we hope you will support us! -Nate & Rochelle Rafn

Best salmon dinner ever!

Why did I wait so long to try it? From the decor to the dessert this place was the best I have ever had. Service was impeccable. The salmon was delightful and the cherry crumble was the bomb! I will be back!

A disappointment

The food was salty even though we expressed our desires for salt free or sparse. Not much on the decor but for a place that set us back $100 for two dinners (no beverages of any type) to have a complete lack of dress code...More
