Events
At Celilo Restaurant, we are committed to a healthy and sustainable future. We source high quality, fresh food, grown miles from our doorstep. We make every attempt to buy naturally raised products and organic products when available. We pay attention to our output too. We reuse or recycle all of our glass, plastic, paper, aluminum, and tin. We compost all our food scraps, vegetables, and coffee grounds. We convert our used vegetable oils into bio-diesel.
Each small step is important.
We know you will taste the difference. And with a concerted effort, our children will too.

““Know your food. Know what it is, where it comes from, who grew it, when it was harvested, how it was prepared. It is an honor to be a part of this simple ethic.””
Celilo Meal kits
These challenging times have moved us to action. We are food people. The most satisfying thing we can do is cook and feed our community. Our meal kit donation program arose out of a small need that gradually grew into something much larger. To date we have produced and shared over 1000 meals with members of our community in need. We have received help from many generous farmers, food vendors and volunteers. Our program has flourished with their care. We have also been the recipient of many generous donations from supporters near and far. The latest support comes from the Oregon Hospitality Foundation. We have received a grant that will sponsor our operation for many more meals. Our humble thanks to the Foundation and to all of you who have supported us thus far.
If you are interested in contributing to what goes into the meal kits, please email Chef Ben Stenn.

Wine To Go!
We now have our off premise license so we can sell bottles or cases of wine to go! Have a favorite wine you can’t find or want to start a wine collection? Need some wine for a party, wedding or special gathering? Need some wine advice? We are here for you! Email us at information@celilorestaurant.com or come by for a visit.
If you live in the area and would like to receive our monthly wine offerings through Celilo Specialty Cellar, please email us and we’ll add you to our list. Each month we will offer 7 different wines- including imports, as well as 3 specialty food items for retail purchase.
Private Dinners
Reserve the Restaurant: Celilo is available as a private venue for parties of up to 75 guests. With this option, we will close the entire restaurant to the general public for the day or evening. You will have access to all of Celilo’s amenities, including a four course menu, a full staff of servers and bartenders, our i-pod compatible sound system, tables, chairs, flatware, plateware and glassware. We will be happy to help you make arrangements with florists and musicians to make your special event a truly memorable occasion.
Reserve a Table: Let Celilo help you host a luncheon or dinner party for gatherings of 12 to 20 guests. We will compose a prix fixe menu customized to suit your preferences and/or your dietary needs. Please call and inquire about specific dates, as summer and weekend availability is extremely limited. We do not have a private dining room, so larger parties will be at tables next to each other in our main dining room. This option is ideal for business lunches andmid week and off season dinners. Since we do not have a private dining area, this option is not ideal for rehearsal dinners or wedding parties.
Host a Private Dinner in Your Home: Chef Ben is happy to cater private dinners for parties of at least 8 people, starting at $100 per person. Private cooking classes are a favorite and also available at this price.
