We had high expectations based on other reviews, but while service and atmosphere were great, we expected more from the food. We tried the 5-course chef's tasting menu--the halibut and pork were overcooked, the gnocchi too doughy, and flavors in general were a bit bland and one-dimensional. We're self-acknowledged food-snobs (spoiled by living in big cities), but while everything was... More

We just left after an absolutely wonderful dinner. From first entering the front door to leaving a marvelous evening. We had the slow roasted salmon to die for and the filet melt in your mouth good (same meal different courses). The staff impeccable and total enjoyment.

This restaurant is an amazing experience! The food is very innovative and served by an extremely competent, formal but not stuffy wait staff who are attired in suit and tie as is appropriate in this establishment. The four of us thoroughly enjoyed the seven course chefs menu. However, on my next visit, I would opt for the five course menu... More

My husband and I took a last minute trip to the Newberg area. A friend recommended the Painted Lady. The food and wine pairings at dinner were amazing and the service was impeccable. We would highly recommend the Painted Lady. They also have a cottage available for rent (the Painted Lady Cottage) - it's just next door to the restaurant.... More

This is not just a restaurant, this is a warm and inviting experience. We had a birthday dinner there and the four of us were treated to quite a meal. Great service, innovative courses and no pretentiousness-what a difficult balance to achieve, and they do it well. The service is exemplary, the food is interesting with a twist here and... More

A very memorable experience. Other reviews capture the details well. Excellent (if formal/reserved) service with a real knowledge of the food. And the food is worth hearing about...fresh, often local, ingredients prepared beautifully with an artistic and innovative flair. Each course was an adventure. We each ordered different items on the menu to experience the range of the chef's creativity.... More

We visited The Painted Lady on a Friday night as part of an extended weekend birthday celebration. The weekend was full of special events that had been carefully planned - but our meal here stood out as one of the true highlights of our trip. The meal was an event in itself - perfectly paced, wonderfully prepared, and full of... More

The Painted Lady is one of my utmost favorite restaurants in Oregon. They truly make a celebration of sorts extra special. For me, they made my Birthday celebration simply beautiful. The food is genius, the hospitality is impeccable and the entire experience leaves one happy for weeks on end. The Quail served on 02/23/2013 is a dish which shall live... More
