The Painted Lady Restaurant in Newberg OR now has a nightly tasting menu... four courses for $60, you have a couple choices for each course. (It's their only option, there is no ""regular"" menu.) They use seasonal, local ingredients, so the menu is always changing. I was there in December and I'm still dreaming of the gnocchi --- pillowy, soft and firm, topped with a wild mushroom ragout that was heavenly. Rich, deep flavor, perfectly seasoned - I will compare all gnocchi to this gnocchi from now on.
Pros: Seasonal menu, culinary creativity, attentive service, great cocktails and extensive wine list.
Cons: None! Street parking maybe, but it's a quiet neighborhood, so it's not a problem.
