Coquina's décor is spare, its space small, and the attention is on the food. The wine list is extensive and fairly priced. We were greeted with a plate of delicious focaccia and a cup of spicy, garlic-scented olive oil. When the owner thoughtfully brought us more bread later to sop up all remainders of the delicious sauces, we took full... More

The bread was out of this world. The service was friendly and helpful. The food was very good and the price was reasonable as well. We plan to return.

Soup of the Day , I asked ...."Watercress soup with truffle oil.....try it , I'm sure you'll enjoy" said the server.....he wasnt wrong .....creamy delicious watercress flavour , occasional hits from the oil , and the unexpected bonus of flakes of crispy fried onion. I spotted duck breast on the menu , and as my good (chef) friend is a... More

On our trip south for the winter we make a special effort to stay over in Ashland, OR both ways and eat at Coquina. I still maintain this is best restaurant I have eaten in for a long time. The menu is always changed to have the best local products. I had fresh wild sturgeon that was amazing and certainly... More

On our last night in Ashland we dined at Coquina at the suggestion of the innkeepers at the Winchester. We were a party of 9 which can sometimes make for a dining challenge but not tonight. The service was friendly and the food delivery efficient and timely. Highlights included the tonque in cheek "Pork & Beans" appy - Pork belly... More

We eat out very often all over the west coast and we throughly enjoyed our meal at Coquina. The ribeye was excellent and perfectly cooked and the sturgeon was by far the best we have ever had. Moist and delicious. We definitely will be back.

Living in Ashland, we have our pick anytime of any of the town's superb restaurants. We have slowly gravitated to Coquina as our list topper, from among a dozen premier restaurants. Past reviews have dinged Coquina for slow service, although the food has always been regarded as superb in all aspects. They have now picked up their service game, and... More

Coquina is a nice, er, idea. From an execution standpoint, it falls short. There is always a conflict of interest when your chef and lead waiter/host are married--think of the dynamics if things don't go right. And, on the night we visited, they didn't go right. Initially, the experience was just fine. Overall, the server team and bartenders are extremely... More
