While it’s true most ten-year-old Boy Scouts aren’t spit-roasting Cornish game hens on campouts, such was the passion of Allen Routt.

A couple decades later, that passion has only grown as Routt continues to create delightfully unexpected, creative meals to guests at Oregon’s only four-star, four-diamond restaurant, The Painted Lady, nestled in the heart of Oregon’s Wine Country.

Routt and his wife Jessica Bagley named The Painted Lady after the principles with which they restored the Victorian home housing the restaurant. The couple delivers the same philosophy to the table. Meals are prepared using contrasting and interesting ingredients, balancing dishes in a felicitous way and always highlighting the food’s natural flourishes and flavors.

Featured in national and regional media, the acclaimed chef branched out in 2014 to open Storr’s Smokehouse, also in downtown Newberg, bringing “a serious pit” to Oregon Wine Country. Whether guests are looking for a fine dining experience or a comforting meal in a casual setting, Routt offers memorable, mouth-watering meals.
