Okta, Oregon’s Most Ambitious Tasting Menu Restaurant, Has Closed

Fine dining destination Okta, arguably the Pacific Northwest’s most ambitious restaurant, closed its doors this weekend, barely two years after its highly anticipated opening. The restaurant served as a companion to the ultraluxe Tributary Hotel, supported by a dedicated regenerative farm, fermentation lab, and larder. The team announced the restaurant’s closure via Instagram, noting that Okta chef Matthew Lightner, a Castagna alumnus who went on to run New York City’s two-Michelin-starred restaurant Atera, was leaving the project. The post implied Okta would continue in some form; it’s not yet clear how. “The Tributary Hotel and our farm and larder will continue to build on our vision of pairing excellence in hospitality and regenerative farming to share the story of this amazing place,” the caption reads.
