Had a birthday party for our co-worker, and none of us had eaten here before. Don't let the outside deceive you. The inside is very lovely and adds to the ambiance. I think we got a little loud, as the main dining area isn't really sectioned off. They are finishing off truffle season, so we got two orders of their truffle fries. The beef shank with amazing creamy potatoes was awesome. Their seafood dish was also very good, though the sauce could have used a bit more of a kick. Prices are reasonable for what you get. Corkage is also reasonable at $20. Waiter was great and even did some table magic. Great experience.

Subterra in Newberg absolutely blew me away! From the tantalizing appetizers like the crispy brussel sprouts, savory empanadas, to the indulgent duck frites, every bite was a burst of culinary delight. And let's talk about the main course – the gnocchi with carrot/red pepper puree, winter veggies, foraged mushrooms, and berry reduction – it was like a symphony of flavors dancing on my palate! Plus, knowing there were numerous gluten-free options made the experience even better. But what truly made the night unforgettable was Nicole, our server, whose warmth and attentiveness elevated the entire dining experience. Subterra is a must-visit for anyone seeking an extraordinary culinary adventure!Dietary restrictions: Several gluten free options.

The first time we ate at SubTerra, we were thoroughly impressed with everything that they provided. So impressed, we knew we wanted them to be our restaurant of choice to have our celebration meal after our elopement ceremony!To start off, we had the delicious bread and house whipped butter as well as the truffle oil frites. A few of us enjoyed some of the mouthwatering salads, but the entrées were what stole the show. A majority of us had the King Salmon entrée while others had the delicious Gnocchi and Scallops. And last, but, not least, we rounded out the night with decadent desserts such as cheesecake, chocolate cake and Tiramisu. For just being newlyweds, we were given a delicious Elderflower Prosecco cocktail to enjoy, too!SubTerra is a restaurant that really embodies great food and wine to make it a very memorable experience for all who come. Thank you, SubTerra, for allowing us to celebrate our big day there and for us to create beautiful and lasting memories!

First off, the service was AMAZING. Both the host and the waiter (his name was David, sadly I cannot recall the female host's name) provided friendly attentive service. The food was just amazing. We sampled several items off the menu and loved them all. I cant wait to go back and try a few more items as well as some of their cocktails.

Wow! Best dinner I've had hands down in awhile! I ordered the gnocchi with braised short rib, and my friend had the sweet potato one, so flavorful and yummy! Can definitely tell the quality in their food. Also had dessert and drinks, everything was superb! Appreciate all the gluten free options too. Can't wait to go back again.

I checked out this restaurant with a friend today, and we decided to try three appetizers and two entrees based on the recommendation by the waiter. Among the appetizers, the beef marrow was a standout, but the marrow came from different bones, and one of them has little marrow. The prawns, while fresh, were accompanied by a sauce too sweet for their delicate flavor. Surprisingly, one of the highlights of the meal was the bread.Moving on to the entrees, the scallops were salty, and the beef shank was relatively average. While many of the dishes were meticulously presented and had a certain level of fanciness, I found some of them didn't quite hit the mark for my taste.The service and the overall atmosphere of the restaurant were great. However, you might want to consider whether the cost is justified for your particular preferences.

Not impressed by the food. There are only three scallops in the main dish which was worth $41 and I can only taste saltinesses in the scallops. There are also only three prawns in the appetizer and the sauce was mediocre. The bone marrows were the best of four dishes we ordered. Overall, I think it may worth a visit for some special occasions but the food needs quite some improvement.

Excellent food and well-paced service. Minimalist/elegant decor, but not at all stuffy. Wait staff went out of their way to help in all respects.Note that Google Maps sends you on a wild goose chase to find this place. Access is from 99W/Hancock St, heading southwest through town. NOT off of Villa RdWheelchair accessibility: There's an ADA compliant access around the back with a parking space adjacent (unmarked) just call in advance to arrange (as I learned by chance).

Very nice restaurant. Menu is somewhat limited. Prices are very reasonable. I had a steak, strip, and it was huge. I am not a fan of strip steaks and this one reaffirmed my belief. A little on the tough side. I would suggest moving to a filet and doing away with the strip. My wife had a veggie gnocchi dish which she really enjoyed. Service was excellent.
