What People Are Saying About Joel Palmer House

In Short – For years, the Joel Palmer House sat in the center of Dayton as a faint memory of the town's founding father. In 1996 it was bought by restaurateurs, and today anyone can enjoy the historic grace that fills the dining rooms. A Northwest-inspired menu is paired with an impressive list of local wines. Menu items include juicy crab cakes made with thick portabellos and a mildly gamey elk tenderloin, served with black chanterelles and a sweet juniper-berry sauce.

A response to the previous review

I am an employee at JPH and just wanted to let you know our employees are treated very well. The gratuity is added in on the bill, but we all are compensated, front and back of house. We also have medical and other benefits available to us. So please, don't avoid trying us out based on someone's impression the employees aren't treated well. The fact is this is just not true.

The service charge does not go to the servers!
by ismith07
Just FYI the service change they add on instead of tip does not go to the servers or the kitchen staff (unless you include the owners). They do pay a bit more than minimum wage to servers but still.
The food is mostly uninspired. Support restaurants that treat their employees well instead.
- Pros: Nice house.
- Cons: The service charge does not go to the staff!

I have eaten here several times , each time everything was great . The cost of the meal is high .After reading the other reviews which were negative ,somehow it dosent fit. I have sent a lot of people there and no one has a bad experence.
Take the time and try it yourself .
