## Very good innovative tasting menu experience

You eat what they serve you. There is even no printed menu, only descriptions y0u get verbally when they bring the plate for you. The menu online is not updated. All dishes are excellent in all aspects; creativity, quality, and taste. Service is very friendly Ambience: very small room in old house. Max occupancy 26persons. It is stuffy, so if you have allergies, get your Allegra or Flonase before arrival. Could be a very nice romantic place with the dimmed light, if no loud groups happens to be there that night. Value. $145 pp for 8-courses meal is fairly priced. So, yes I do recommend it for a nice romantic night.

## Underwhelmed

Party of 6, 3 couples eagerly excited to dine at The Painted Lady. The food was just okay. I enjoyed the pasta, and soup portion. The steak (sirloin) was inedible and everyone could not even cut the meat. Overall, we had a great because we were with great friends.

## food was excellent, wine pairings were even better

I love good food and also wines. Going with a vegetarian friend to dinner last Saturday, we found the Painted Lady a perfect place after a very full day of wine tasting. The food was excellent, we particularly enjoyed the canapes (the mushrooms were spectacular), both the crab and vegetarian versions of the miso custard, the beet encrusted sturgeon (for me)/roast celeriac (for her) and the pear/almond tarts. The wine pairings were the best I have had in a half century of dining out. And our server, Jessica, was willing and very able to discuss each of the wines with us. I loved it. Service was attentive without hovering. There was a slight bobble with the bill at the end, but it was quickly solved. I will be going back.

## Delicate, Subtle, Artful

The Painted Lady is a true testament to food as an art form, teasing and pleasing the senses. My husband and I ate off the (summer 2023) seasonal menu twice, and were pleased with the continued incorporation of local products, as well as slight changes to their offerings. Due to popular demand — after once removing the miso custard from their menu — it is now a permanent offering. Both visits it took restraint not to gluttonously inhale the soup, replete with Dungeness crab, picked red onion, edamame, sesame powder, and dashi. Executive Chef Allen Routt has managed to cultivate an exquisite balance of crunchy, creamy, and salty morsels, further enhanced by delectable bits of seafood. Not a single element of this dish is overdone. Chef Routt is particularly skilled at playing with flavors and recreating their purposes. Specifically, the custard in the miso was creamy rather than sugary, and the granola in the ravioli was savory. Two recent notable additions to the tasting menu include a locally sourced waygu New York steak, with perfectly seared edges, and a Columbia River King Salmon, which fell apart in my mouth. For dessert, we were served white chocolate and strawberry bombe. A little light on the rhubarb component — which was part of the purée — it was nonetheless divine. Appearing to have the consistency and presentation of ice cream, the white mousse enclosed the strawberry center, and was complimented by the strawberries, graham cracker tuile, and a rose petal encased in crystallized sugar. My final course was given an added boost due to it being a special occasion. Dessert was served on a glass plate with a small candle, and “Happy Birthday” written in cursive with white chocolate. Yes, the white chocolate is edible. And yes, I scraped away and consumed every letter. Additionally, I was sent home with a dessert to enjoy later, which was placed in a white box and topped with a bow. There is a wide array of wine and cocktails available, but I must confess that I didn’t partake of the wine pairing either time. I’ve heard it’s a must try, but I also need an excuse to make this dining experience a three-peat. I did, however, request a drink not listed on the menu (“something with rum, nothing too acidic”). The server curated a drink I was fully satisfied with, and the cocktails aromatics — a slice of lime and sprig of mint — were a nice touch. Details did not get overlooked during our visits. The courses were served on hand crafted pottery. The butter was at the optimal temperature and topped with wine flavored salt. The bill arrived with a tray of bite-sized confections. Set in a historic house and employing a highly professional staff, The Painted Lady is not without its subtle, delightful quirks. Make sure to check out the bathroom with the tub full of plants, and don’t hesitate to make a few wisecracks to the servers, who have excellent senses of humor. While many high end restaurants get carried away with overdoing butter, salt, cream, and sugar, you will not find that kind of overpriced nonsense at The Painted Lady, where the tastes are balanced and artful, and the culinary experience is unique. This establishment is listed on many ‘best of Oregon’ lists for many reasons. Highly recommend.

## Lovely Dinner Experience

If you are looking for a great dinner experience, this is it! The Miso soup with crab was outstanding and so was the dessert. The highlight for our party was the service. We visited on our arrival day & we were exhausted- they noticed we were tired and offered to box up our cookies & chocolates. We sincerely appreciated their attention to detail and hospitality! Thank you PL for a memorable evening.
