"We stopped for lunch passing through Stayton. The food was very good. The ambiance is charming but the highlight of the lunch experience was the service and the fun little tour of the Nasa collection that belonged to the owner's father who retired from Nasa. I'm glad we made the stop. It was an all round fun and unique experience."

"We found this place online, looking for a one night stay over before completing our trip further west... it did not disappoint! We visited Stayton old town and enjoyed the area very much! Breakfast was wonderful and the owner (Jim) shared some wonderful history and stories relevant to growing up with a father who was an astronaut. His museum astronaut/space memorabilia and sharing of history was great. Enjoyed our stay very much!"

"Happened upon this restaurant while we were in town. Had an early lunch with an amazing three cheese panini and their house made tomato soup.The food was delicious and the tour and NASA museum were an added bonus that we didn't expect but enjoyed so much! Would definitely come back when we are in the area."

"My husband and I had lunch at Gardner House Cafe today. It was excellent! My husband had the Reuben sandwich and I had a lunch salad. Both the presentation and taste of the food was wonderful. Hope to come there again next time we are in town."

"Nancy and I ate at the restaurant. The menu was great. Prices were reasonable. I think the Reuben was $10 or so. We also had a peach galette (pie) with ice cream. Then we viewed their display cases full of space and astronaut memorabilia. Then we chatted with the owner for longest time about his family history. It was fun! We did not stay in a room there because we were staying in Silverton. I gave the rooms five stars just because :)"
