The Painted Lady

Must be the best restaurant in the Willamette Valley. Each dish was close to perfection - from the amuse bouche to the dessert. There was no ala a carte, only the tasting menu option, much like many Michelin restaurants in Paris. I'd happily return.

My partner and I had dinner here to celebrate our wedding anniversary on July 12. There were 10 courses, not including the anniversary cake. Everything was delicious. I heard the miso custard has been a popular dish and yes, that WAS really good, but the canapes was just as good. I was amazed how crispy the mushroom was. I have a big appetite but by the time they brought the dessert, I was stuffed. I just took a bite and my partner finished the rest. It took us 2 hours to eat everything, but we probably should have slowed down. I didn't take a picture of it, but they had decaf. Towards the end, I saw a fly, which was the only negative feedback on the Painted Lady.

Drove down to Newberg from Seattle just to eat at The Painted Lady—and the 4-hour trip was totally worth it. From the moment we walked in, our server made us feel super taken care of and explained each dish and wine pairing really well. We had about 9 or 10 courses, and everything tasted amazing. My favorite was the Ube Genoise—every bite was magical, and I honestly could’ve had three more. They were great about our dietary restrictions too—I had the vegetarian menu and loved how thoughtful and creative each dish was. The Miso custard and agnolotti with the sourdough bread were so good. They even brought out a chocolate cake for us to take home, to celebrate my spouse’s birthday, which was such a sweet touch. Definitely a great spot for a special occasion or just a really nice dinner.

My wife and I visited the Willamette Valley for our anniversary, and this place made our trip! Each course was plated beautifully, absolutely delicious, and most importantly with an omasake type presentation was just the right amount of food! The service was excellent, and they even brought us a delicious complimentary cake at the end to celebrate our anniversary! We have added The Painted Lady to our list of places to go whenever we're in Oregon, and it's definitely worth the trip from Portland!

Absolutely the best restaurant I have ever been to. Every visit is an experience. The flavors are elevated in ways you would never expect- Chef Allen transforms every ingredient into something truly unforgettable!
