"I have been to Amuse twice in the last 8 months and both times the food and service were outstanding! The first time last September we sat outside in the back with a large group and everything we tried from appetizers to dessert was so delicious and the service outstanding. The second time last Friday we went with a small group of 4 and the fish, salad, rib-eye steak, hangar steak, and game hen were perfect in every way. Our waiter who was the manager was very knowledgeble about the wine and food and gave prompt thoughtful service. I recommend this restaurant highly!"

"We enjoyed an exceptional dinner accompanied by superb service. The prawns were delicious-- can't find a better grilled prawn dish anywhere. The grilled asparagus were also tasty. The game hen is a classic preparation refined-- it doesn't get any better. Hangar steak was wonderful and the rhubarb crisp dessert capped off a masterpiece of a meal."

"The food at Amuse is amazing! The service is impeccable. The staff is doting without being intimidating or stuffy. A world class meal with the comfort of your neighborhood restaurant. The food is just as good if not better than Bouchon or Hurley's in Yountville, CA. I especially appreciate the bread--perfectly done: soft center with crunchy crust, with soft, hand salted butter.
Perfectly romantic setting."

"This was our third visit to this fine restaurant and each occasion was a wonderful dining experience. As usual our table was ready at the reserved time and the restaurant was full. Service is prompt, attentive and knowledgeable. The food is memorable. On this occasion we shared a perfectly done rib eye and marvelous crispy thin cut french fries. We brought in a 1978 Ch. Gruad Larose. Our waiter handled it with aplomb (old corks can be difficult) and, to our surprise, waived the usual corkage fee. This is the kind or restaurant I would expect to find tucked into a New York neighborhood, treasured by locals. We will be returning any time we pass through Ashland."

"This was (4/13/13) probably my fifth time to Amuse. All have been very good. This time was great. All in my group of three thought the food was wonderful, and we had some picky eaters. the service was timely and sensitive to our play schedule. Very good local wine choices, with some moderately priced. I'm looking forward to going back."

"Although we have lived in Ashland for 6 years we had never been to Amuse because we are retired and on a tight budget. We go out to lunch if we are going out to eat out because it is less pricey, and Amuse is not open for lunch. We saw the ad about the "Sunday Suppers" and decided that it was our chance to visit Amuse, which we knew is consistently rated as one of Ashland's very best restaurants.
Everything about the evening we spent there was first rate. The staff was very friendly and helpful, the atmosphere was perfect, as was the nice music playing quietly.
The food was outstanding - from the bread and "tastes" to the dessert The entree was really special. It was all more than we had hoped for, and we will be back."

"We went for their seasonal "Sunday Dinner" menu and it was fabulous... every bite! Although we wanted the special meal they still offered their entire menu if someone in your party wasn't interested. And, as usual, our waiter, Ben, was charming and attentive."
