The story
Amoré is the fine dining destination inside Spirit Mountain Casino in Grand Ronde, Oregon — a place that takes its tagline seriously. The menu centers on steak and seafood, with Pacific Northwest favorites woven throughout, and the room itself earns consistent praise for being "lovely and intimate." Guests have driven 25 minutes from the Lincoln City coast specifically to eat here, which says something about how it stands apart from the broader casino dining landscape.
The wine program is a genuine point of distinction. Amoré's curated collection — with a strong emphasis on award-winning Oregon wines — has earned the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence every year from 2020 through 2025, a streak that reflects sustained commitment rather than a one-time effort. The list is designed to pair with the kitchen's Italian-inflected steakhouse cooking, and wine flights are available for guests who want to explore the selection more deliberately. Craft cocktails and seasonal low-proof libations round out the drinks menu for those who prefer something beyond the bottle.
Reviewers return repeatedly — one noted three visits before writing a review, finding the food "delicious and fast to be served" and the staff "top notch" each time. The interior strikes a balance between warmth and refinement that suits both a quiet dinner for two and larger private gatherings. The Italian and steakhouse sensibility running through the menu gives the kitchen clear focus: proteins handled well, flavors that don't need to shout.
Amoré is open for dinner Thursday through Monday, with the kitchen closing at 11 PM on Friday and Saturday nights — later than most fine dining rooms in the region, which makes it a natural anchor for an evening at Spirit Mountain.
