My wife and I dined at Amuse before a show at the Shakespeare Festival and were VERY pleased. Our show was at 8 so we made 6 o'clock reservations. The staff is used to timing meals to make show openings and after confirming our curtain time our waitress took excellent care of us. We had a charcuterie plank for a... More

We've been here many times but this time was exceptional. The service was pleasant and efficient, the food expertly prepared and presented. Have the beignets for dessert, even in New Orleans they weren't this good. Literally, air covered with delicate crust and sugar.

Food and wine list were very good, including an excellent local claret. Seating provides decent privacy, and the service was acceptable.

I have eaten at Amuse three times and found it to be very agreeable each time. The restaurant itself is quite small and decorated in a sterile and not particularly welcoming fashion. The servers tend to be brusque and preoccupied, but competent. They are often required to meet a curtain deadline for patrons attending the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, so that... More

Everything about the restaurant has the aesthetic of Bouchon Bakery - and if you're going to model after someone, that's not a bad thing. The food is uniquely Amuse, though and it is all very well prepared. Excellent wine list as well. The beignets are completely off the charts. Honestly can't remember a more delicious dessert. The only reason we're... More

The menu is varied, but the food is all good. We enjoyed excellent service, and the dining room is such a pleasant place to relax with friends. A good wine list, also.

We returned to this restaurant for the second time in a year (visiting from the east coast, otherwise we'd have a standing reservation!). After a year of fond recollections and numerous conversations about the quality of food, atmosphere, and service, we were anxious to return. While walking back, we asked each other, "Do you think it was as great as... More

Their entire menu is delicious and served by great people who have been serving their customers for years. The wine list has some great Oregon wines and their desserts are extraordinary.

We ate here the one night we stayed in Ashland, OR. The restaurant is quaint, and serves mostly local and organic ingredients, with a valid attempt at high end cuisine. The food overall was good, and most was made with familiar pairing of food combinations and preparations, so don't expect innovation, and there were some hits and misses. Overall it... More

Our expectations must have been too high. Drinks were so so, table was uncomfortable, fish preparation was mediocre.
