Exceptional Dining in the Heart of the Willamette Valley.

Tributary Hotel guests enjoy access to our adjoining restaurant, ōkta. Helmed by Executive Chef Matthew Lightner, ōkta is a micro-seasonal, progressive culinary experience that brings forth the hidden beauty and the terroir of the Willamette Valley through ingredients that can only be found here and now.

Dining at ōkta

Seatings in the dining room begin at 5pm Wednesday through Sunday. The $295 ten-course tasting menu is designed to last approximately 2-2.5 hours. An automatic 20% service charge will be included. Dining courses showcase the area’s seasonal surroundings through food, art, culture, sustainability, and imagination. Tributary leaves tables open at ōkta for hotel guests.

Executive Chef Matthew Lightner’s post at ōkta represents a homecoming for the celebrated chef who attended Portland’s Western Culinary Institute and initially rose to national prominence during his tenure at Portland’s Castagna. There he crafted a menu that showcased his passion for foraging local ingredients, absorbed from his time working under Andoni Aduriz at Mugaritz in Spain’s Basque region.  In 2012, Lightner relocated to New York to assume the executive chef position at Atera and subsequently earned two Michelin stars.

At ōkta, Lightner’s ambitions are fully realized with a restaurant experience intimately intertwined with the region surrounding it.
