Ashland +

"My #1 spot in Ashland. Mango salad, lumpia, chicken adobo and sisig. The sisig is really standout but everything is fantastic. "

"I love this spot and try to go every time I'm in town. Deviled eggs, cocktails, pastas. "

"excellent coffee, avocado toast, and eggs on toast. this is where the cool people go. Yes, there are a few and this is where they hang during the day. I don't know where they hide otherwise."

"Fresh, locally inspired seasonal menus in a cozy setting."

"One of the few true farm-to-table places here. They work with local producers, organic meats/produce, seasonal plates, and pairings with Rogue Valley wines."

"Just outside historic Jacksonville is this nice little vineyard. They do tastings and have a food menu. Surprising how much this can look like the Napa valley if you squint just a little. "

"Between Ashland and Medford, there’s the little town of Phoenix. This spot has big outdoor spaces with multiple food and bevvy vendors. Beer, wine and cocktails. "

"A long standing family friendly restaurant smack in the middle of old Jacksonville. Live music. "

"Downtown Medford can be… interesting. But if you want some good Thai and don’t mind the sometimes “methy” surroundings, this is a good stop and a hell of a good value. Don’t skip the green papaya salad! Servings are HUUUGE. One curry can feed 3 people. No joke. Skip the pad Thai. "

"Cocktails and live music on the porch. Historic house on the main drag that’s been converted into a bar with cocktails and bites. They have indoor and outdoor seating and they regularly feature live music out on the porch. When we were there we saw bossa-nova one night and blues the next. Very intimate setting with plenty of interaction with the musicians if that’s your thing. "
