The Bay House brought a remarkable legacy to its final home in the Willamette Valley. After more than four decades on the Oregon Coast, the restaurant reopened in May 2025 in the heart of Dayton, inside a beautifully restored historic church on the town square. The setting carried a quiet sense of occasion, blending architectural character with a warmth that feels both intentional and inviting.

Proprietors Steve Wilson and Maureen O’Callaghan thoughtfully transformed the space into a dining room that respects its history while embracing elegance. Light, scale, and layout work together to create an atmosphere that feels refined without being formal. It is a room designed for conversation, attention, and an unhurried experience from the moment guests arrived.

Known for its world-class hospitality, The Bay House is one of only four AAA Four-Diamond restaurants in Oregon since 2015 and a recipient of The DiRōNA Award of Excellence since 2024.

The wine program stands as one of the most extensive in the state, featuring more than 2,600 selections. Bottles span Oregon, Washington, California, and many of the world’s great wine regions, creating opportunities for discovery at every level. Supported by attentive, knowledgeable service, the The Bay House brought a personal, composed, and memorable experience from beginning to end.
