"Dinner at The Painted Lady — an eight-course chef’s tasting menu in a downtown Newberg Victorian home — is an unparalleled dining experience in the Northern Willamette Valley. The seasonal menu featured rotating dishes like miso custard and roasted eggplant risotto. Count on polished plates showcasing molecular flourishes and meticulous service worthy of its multiple James Beard Award nominations. Not ready to splash out? Visit owners Allen Routt and Jessica Bagley’s second restaurant, Storrs Smokehouse, for barbecue by the pound and wonderfully chunky ice cream sandwiches at a more approachable price point." - Emily Teel, Rebecca Roland
