It's just when it came time to order, we had to try several times to flag down our server. We started with Northwest Salad (delish) and the Baby Pretzel Bites were the STAR of the evening. Warm, delicious, and exactly what you'd hope they'd be. The cheese sauce dip was a little thin. The Fresh Vegetable Stir-Fry was okay but we never got the side of tofu so had to ask for it when the meal was almost over. Then it was just grilled with no flavor. The server took it off the bill. Prawn Linguine was overly sauced, salty, and spicy, however the prawns were cooked perfectly I'm thinking this is the kind of place you get a drink at the bar and a pile of fries but dinner for 3 (1 beer, 1 na drink, 1 appetizer, 1 salad, 2 mains) was ~$99 all in. Had to get up and go to the bar to get our server again for the bill. *Sigh*. At least it was close to the theatre.

The fried chicken was delicious--crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The melon dish was excellent and one of my favorites. I haven't found anything like it anywhere else.

A happy hour menu was posted in the window-from 4-5pm every day of the week. We got in during happy hour and were able to score one of the few outdoor creekside tables. It was super pleasant to be able to sit outside and hear the creek while eating delicious food. Ordered the house made blackberry soda-pretty good. Also had the happy hour fried chicken and hh burger, as well as the scallops off of the main menu. The burger was thick and juicy. My kids and husband said the fries were some of the best they've had-crispy exterior and soft interior. Fried chicken had a light crispy coating on the outside and the honey Aleppo mixture was great, though son said it could've used a little more salt. My scallops were some of the best scallops I've ever had before--so well cooked and perfectly seasoned and with these thinly sliced snap peas that were just barely blanched that added texture and freshness to the dish. For dessert I had the olive oil cake with fresh berries--so delicious and perfect way to top off the meal. Service was pretty good. Would def be back!

The service was excellent and our server even personally showed me where the restroom was. All of the other staff were friendly and attentive. The menu was limited with about eight entrees. We had the warm bread starter which was lovely and served with three butters. My son ordered the steak, rare. Many restaurants do not know how to prepare a rare steak but they did a great job. It was served with potatoes and zucchini. He reports that the zucchini was excellent but the potatoes were a bit dry - nothing special. I ordered the lamb shank and it was incredible. Interesting presentation with the shank on a bed of delicious polenta surrounded by a perfectly prepared variety of squash and drizzled with juices from the roasting pan. For beverages, I ordered the old vine Zinfandel and he had the coconut and mezcal cocktail. The wines by the glass were quite reasonably priced but the cocktail disappointed. The restaurant overall was pleasant and comfortable. We ate on the patio. The landscaping clearly was not a priority. The patio was small so it seemed an odd thing to overlook.

Go for the lunch special and the vibes. A year or so ago they opened an outdoor bar area with a big…read morescreen TV with table-side service. It's developed a local cult following for sporting events. We watched most of the World Cup 26 games out there and enjoyed slices and beers. Maybe I'll see you there. Pro tip here is to not sleep on the salads. They are made really well, with balanced flavors and textures. It's a perfect meal to get the lunch special which comes with a salad of your choice (I recommend the Creekside salad) and a slice of pizza. The main issue is if you are a pizza snob (guilty as charged), the bakes on the pizzas are really inconsistent. They often don't use a cooling rack when the pizzas come out, so the crust instantly becomes moist from trapped steam. When the kitchen is slammed, the pizzas are flop city, and sometimes a soupy mess. If they set up quality measures to get a nice crisp crust, they could keep up with their cross-town rivals in the plaza. For now they trail on pizza quality due to inconsistency. Because of all this, I think of Creekside as more of a bar than a specialty pizza place. I enjoy it for what it is, which is pretty darn good.

She was very good and fun and when we expressed how much we enjoy visiting Cocorico, she told us how the owners treat them all so well and that they're like a little family and that everyone loves working for them. I could already tell that from our previous visits, but it was so good to hear from the source. Randy ordered the Oregeat Spritz which is not on the menu but can be made anyway. He loves it. He started off his meal with an order of garlic bread and the deviled eggs, a new to us app. I wasn't going to eat any but I couldn't resist. It's 4 overflowing halves and crazy yummy. And be sure to add some of the chips in the bowl to your bites. Mmm mmm MMMMM! He also ordered the pork chop for the first time and loved everything about the dish. I had the market fish which was halibut. So good. And then we shared the rice pudding which had Dulce de leche and candied hazelnuts - so good.

Chef Nat Borsi's modern Mediterranean haven is a testament to substance over style, a place where "farm-to-table" isn't a marketing slogan but a palpable ethos. The menu, which deftly avoids the trap of being overextended, delivers singular triumphs. The Mushroom Bolognese is a masterclass in vegetarian depth, a richly savory ragout that satisfies on a primal level. The house-made pastas shine; the Lamb Bucatini offers meaty, soulful complexity, while the Seafood Pasta is a testament to the pristine ingredients of the Pacific Northwest. For the carnivore, the Roasted Chicken is a beautifully simple, perfectly executed dish that speaks to the kitchen's bedrock technique. With service that is as warm as the intimate, welcoming ambiance, Cocorico is not just a meal-it's a cornerstone of the Ashland dining experience.
