Astera is a love poem to Oregon’s vinified, farmed and foraged created by Chef Aaron Adams. We offer a multiple course tasting menu, our Horticultural Cuisine of Cascadia, built on flavors utilizing classic and modern techniques with an emphasis on fermentation. Our meals are completely botanical, free from all animal products.
“Impeccable service. Delicious food. Well worth investing your time and money in a vegan tasting menu. The alcohol free add-on is a bonus.”
“My girlfriend and I had such a great experience here. We’re not vegan or vegetarian, but were curious to try a vegan fine dining menu. We’ve tried one other vegan spot in the past and were pretty disappointed, so we came in a little hesitant. That hesitation disappeared after the first bite. Every dish had us hooked! What really stood out was the creativity, each dish felt thoughtfully constructed. The sauces in particular were incredible. We would buy jars of them if we could. I opted for the wine pairing, and my girlfriend ordered a couple glasses. Everything we had was excellent and paired well with the food. The service was impeccable from start to finish too. Attentive and friendly. This experience changed our perspective on vegan dining. We can’t wait to come back!”
“Wow. Truly an incredible experience. We've made the decision to make a trip at least once a quarter to try out the new seasonal options! Some of the items were some of the best food we have, and we travel internationally chasing incredible vegan food. 10/10, and over the moon that it's in our hometown. Locally sourced, artistically crafted, and beautiful presented. We couldn't ask for more to celebrate our anniversary. Thank you, Astera!”
“Wonderful evening! I reserved the chef's counter and Chef Adam and his team put together a wonderful menu that completely won me over. It was my first experience in a purely vegan/vegetarian restaurant and it is on par with many Michelin-starred restaurants. The relaxed and genuinely interested small talk made the evening perfect. The wine selection paired with the dishes was also perfect. It will definitely not be my last visit and I am already looking forward to the team's next creations. 10/10”
“This was our 2nd time dining here, of course the food is amazing that’s out of the question, the last time we came was when they were at their previous location, I was a bit surprised by some of our servers side comments, we ordered a bottle of wine and food was taking a little longer in between courses and we were enjoying our wine and the server came to pour us more and said “your chugging the wine I see” I think that was really rude considering we bought the bottle. He later made a comment because we always nicely stack our plates at every place we go to and he said “are you service workers? You don’t need to stack the plates” that was also a bit rude I think he should have kept a lot of those comments to himself it was my birthday celebration and I didn’t really enjoy it compared to our first visit.”
