Frommer's Very Highly Recommended

Ashland may be a long way from Seattle or Portland, but that doesn't mean you can't have an extremely urban dining experience. Amuse is by far the most contemporary restaurant in town and is thoroughly stylish. The food here comes to your table looking almost too good to eat. The menu changes regularly, but you might start with the crispy veal sweet breads or some grilled prawns. From there, it might be black truffle roasted game hen or slow-roasted king salmon. In summer, request a table on the patio.
