This note is about a new web site featuring a virtual stealth restaurant and underground wine bar here in Dundee. Oregon that is! We thought you might find the web content clever - showing a love for food, wine, music and humor [check out the reservation page]. Yes... this is Dundee in the United States. Don't give up on this story just yet. It has caught the imagination of many here in the States.

Sub Rosa started out as an HTML exercise that got out of hand. You have heard of fantasy sports teams. This is my fantasy restaurant, but the celebrity chef is my wife. This is merely a tongue and cheek snapshot of our lives in the guise of a secret eatery. The food we like. The music we listen to. The wine we drink.

To my knowledge, this one of the few truly virtual restaurants in the world. The wine cellar is our own. The menus are what we eat and serve to guests. We think you might get a kick out of what is going on across the 'pond' at the other Dundee.

Thanks for taking a look around. Have fun. We did.

Sub Rosa is a virtual restaurant located in Dundee, Oregon. Quite underground and secret. As the name implies - what goes on here stays here.

sub rosa \suhb-ROH-zuh\, adverb :
Secret; private; confidential

Sub Rosa comes from the Latin, literally "under the rose," from the ancient association of the rose with confidentiality, in reference to the use of a rose at secret meetings as a symbol of the sworn confidence of the participants. The ceilings of Roman banquet-rooms were decorated with roses to remind guests that what was spoken sub vino (under the influence of wine) was also sub rosa.
