Amuse honors its reservations (do make reservations), welcomes and serves its guests with a very friendly and knowledgeable staff. The wine list is good, the menu excellent, and the quality and timing perfect. Be careful to ask about the size of portions -- some entrees are small and European (leaving room for dessert) but a couple seem appropriate for more... More

My wife and I and another couple thought we would try the patio at Amuse Restaurant and our timing (and the patio!) was perfect. The cold evening temps and rain broke just in time for us to enjoy one of the best restaurant-patios--and one of the best restaurants-- in all of Ashland! Three quarters of the patio is actually covered,... More

The service was good (Oregon in general has less obsequious wait staff than California), the food was amazing. We had a number of first courses which were prepared perfectly. We were going to share a main course and they split it for us at no extra charge which was nice of them. The flavors were robust and nothing overpowered the... More

Four of us went to Amuse for an early dinner. For two of us, it was a new experience. The other two were seasoned visitors to the restaurant. Since none of us were terribly hungry, we ordered entrees which we split for a small plate charge. Two of us had aregula salad with fresh strawberries and cheese while the other... More

Where other spots in town try too hard, or not hard enough, Amuse hits the right balance. Friendly, but not familiar or intrusive. Interesting ideas, without tortured efforts at innovation. And, most importantly, good execution in the kitchen. On our last visit, they made a nice fuss over our anniversary, and, this trip we had a nice quiet booth, which... More

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
