1859 Oregon’s Magazine

“To succeed in the restaurant business requires a medley of vision, heart and dogged  determination. Routt and Bagley possess all the necessary ingredients. Following the rules of the painted lady colorist movement that started in San Francisco and which has now spread throughout the United States, they painted the restaurant in three or more contrasting colors, highlighting the building’s natural decorative flourishes. They apply a similar philosophy to each dish, elegantly balancing contrasting flavors that excite the palate with notes of the food’s natural piquancy.”
