Another excellent dinner at Peerless! My husband and I don't eat as much as we used to so we are grateful for the smaller fare offered at Peerless. We started with the soup du jour, which was cold cucumber. This was my least favorite dish of the night. And a bowl of it was way too much for my palate. My husband opted for the Flat Iron and I had crab cakes and the artichokes dishes. All of these were fantastic! What I couldn't finish, my husband happily did. We finished with dessert. You can't go wrong with any of the offers. No wine tonight. However I did ask for an Italian Ice and the bartender served up a delicious one! Eric was our server. He is a personable fellow who gives you time. No rush. The entire time spent at Peerless tonight was leisurely and very enjoyable.

It was a rainy and cold night when we stayed at Ashland. We were so impressed of how many nice restaurants there were in Ashland. The owner of the small Inn we stayed at was impressed we were having dinner at Peerless. We appreciate the spaciousness between tables at Peerless. Our server was friendly and recommended a nice Chardonnay from the Applegate Valley. One new thing we learned about Oregon wines. My husband and I shared oysters from Vancouver to start our meal. My French onions soup was tasty but the star was the toast inside the soup. My husband had shrimps with peas that was delicious and flavorful. Instead of mains, I had Manila clams and my husband had steak tartare. My dish was quite large and yummy. The steak tartare wasn’t as good as the clams though the house made crackers were delicious. The in house made sourdough were amazing. We didn’t have dessert as we were very full. Peerless is an elegant restaurant features best of Pacific Northwest has to offer. A must in Ashland.

My husband and I were passing through town between Portland and Bay Area, so glad we saw reviews for this place on google maps. The host welcomed us in w/o reservations on a Saturday at 6pm (he kindly let us know he needed the table back at 8pm). We got a seat indoors by the door that led to the garden. Andrea never let our water cups run empty. The seasonal summer menu was delicious — we ordered chilled melon Thai curry soup, king salmon tartare, lamb chops, buttered carrotszucchini, and the cured pork appetizer (I forget the name). We were just short of licking the plate on every dish! My husband also enjoyed a queens gimlet, very well made and refreshing.

We had a WONDERFUL dinner here for our last night in Ashland. The service was great, and the food was very tasty! They have great local and seasonal influences to the food, wine, and cocktails. Don't skip the bread; it was freshly baked and delicious!!! Do yourself a favor and make reservations.

My fiance took me to the Peerless for Valentines Day. Our reservation was at 8:15pm, we arrived a little early and the hostess was super friendly and was able to seat us prior to our reserved time. The atmosphere was so nice, it was quiet and romantic, with a fireplace burning and candle on the tables. Our waiter was amazing and very knowledgeable about the menu and the wine list. He helped us pair the wine with the food to make our experience perfect. We've decided that's our date night place from now on. The atmosphere, staff, and the food really make the Peerless a memorable place to dine.

One of the best restaurants in Ashland hands down! The food was out of this world and had the most wonderful cozy atmosphere. We had the Duck Dumplings and Shrimp Fitters to start, which were divine. The chefs talent and creativity really showed in each dish. My table got the Seafood of the Day, Pork Cheeks, and the Duck Confit for our entrees. Each of us were blown away! We all commented that it’s one of the best meals we’ve ever had. Needless to say we will be back.
