The Joel Palmer House

Frommer's Review

If you love mushrooms in all their earthy guises, then in this downtown Dayton restaurant you will find your culinary nirvana. Chef/owner Jack Czarnecki is a man obsessed with mushrooms, and nearly every dish has mushrooms in it. Start your meal with the extraordinary wild-mushroom soup made with suillis mushrooms, then move on to the filet mignon with pinot-noir sauce and wild mushrooms or the beef Stroganoff with Oregon white truffles. The rack of lamb with a pinot-hazelnut sauce, although it lacks mushrooms, is a quintessential wine-country entree. Mushroom lovers will be in good hands if they opt for the "Jack's Mushroom Madness" prix-fixe dinner. The extensive wine list features Oregon wines. The restaurant is in a house built in the 1850s and is quite formal.
