Yesterday and every 4th Sunday of each month from 1PM to 3PM, a very talented group plays Celtic music. Kathryn & her team are incredibly warm & welcoming. The cocktails are delectable & there's a nice selection of wine. They offer an increasingly interesting array of food choices and fun things to do: Sit with friends in front of the indoor or outdoor fireplaces, play croquet or corn hole, in good weather gather with friends indoors or outdoors. Don't miss the indoor deep well! The rooms & suites for guests are simply gorgeous. This place is the beautiful heart of Jacksonville on your left on California Street as you are entering town driving in from Medford. Kathryn is a member of the Jacksonville Belles and Beaus Western & Victorian Society so you may see her in period attire from time to time. Whether you are local or an out-of-town visitor, this place is not to be missed. We'll see you there!

What a fantastic experience visiting the McCully Wine and Pub Lounge this afternoon!…read more We were greeted as we entered the most beautifully period style decorated lounge I have seen so far in Jacksonville. Pictures do not give the establishment justice. We were given a tour of the grounds, some history of the building and future plans in the works to make this place a destination for everyone to enjoy not only on special occasions. Very friendly people working and running the business as well as a super homey comfortable feeling through out, lots of places to sit and relax with friends and family. This is truly one stop shopping as there is also a bakery steps away from the entrance and of course McCully Inn connected to the lounge. All right in the middle of downtown Jacksonville. Look forward to spending more time here and enjoying the developing food and drink menu!

Enjoyed a wonderful evening at The Restaurant at the Jacksonville Inn last night, dining out on…read moretheir reopened outdoor patio, easily one of the best spots in the valley for a spring date night and one of the more memorable fine dining experiences in Jacksonville, Oregon. The setting strikes that rare balance, elevated without ever feeling pretentious. Whether you're a longtime local or visiting Southern Oregon, it's the kind of atmosphere that just fits, relaxed, refined, and quietly beautiful without trying too hard. From the start, subtle touches stood out, like warm, damp hand towels brought out after appetizers. A small detail, but one that signals intention and care, and something you don't often see even in higher-end restaurants. At a young age, Daniella is already operating at a level you typically only see in far more seasoned professionals. Weaving generational balance into her role as Maître d', she doesn't just manage the front of the house, she really sets the tone for the entire evening. You can tell when someone has been raised in hospitality versus just working a shift, and Daniella is a perfect example of that difference. Her timing, awareness, and presence never felt forced or scripted. Everything flowed naturally. She anticipated needs before we had to ask, guided the pacing of the evening seamlessly, and created a rhythm to the service that made the whole night feel intentional. We felt genuinely taken care of, not just served. That kind of intuition isn't taught overnight. It's lived, and it shows. What really sets this Jacksonville Inn restaurant apart is how clearly the kitchen reflects the background, discipline, and experience of Chef Todd Meyerhoffer. There's intention behind every dish, not just in flavor, but in structure, balance, and presentation. We started with the steamed clams, elevated with crispy pork belly, sweet chili, and lime. The richness of the pork belly paired with the brightness of the citrus and chili created a perfect contrast, each bite layered yet clean, which is exactly what you hope for in elevated Pacific Northwest cuisine. The clams themselves were cooked perfectly, tender, briny, and never overpowered by the accompaniments. Next came the surprise of the night, the cauliflower soup with wild mushrooms and Mexican truffle. I'll be honest, this is not something I would ever order on my own, as I'm not a cauliflower person. My wife ordered it to go alongside the clams, and after one taste, we ended up sharing it. It was that good. The earthiness of the mushrooms and truffle didn't mask the cauliflower, they really elevated it. Each spoonful was balanced in a way where you could taste every component individually, yet everything came together seamlessly on the palate, which speaks to real culinary technique rather than trend-driven cooking. The endive salad with Dungeness crab, citrus, and avocado brought a refreshing contrast to the meal, bright, clean, and beautifully composed, with the citrus cutting through the richness of the crab and avocado, making it feel light while still deeply satisfying. For the main, we shared the filet mignon paired with short rib, served alongside broccolini, gratin, and demi-glaze. the filet was cooked exactly as it should be, tender, flavorful, and a generous portion that was perfect for sharing, while the short rib delivered that deep, slow-braised richness you expect, adding both contrast and depth to the plate. The gratin was perfectly executed with just the right texture, and the demi-glaze tied everything together without overwhelming the natural flavors of the meat. Every element on the plate had a purpose, which is something you don't always find, even in restaurants that try to present themselves as fine dining in Southern Oregon. This wasn't just a good meal, it was a thoughtfully executed dining experience from start to finish. Between Chef Todd's refined, layered cuisine and Daniella's rising presence as Maître d', this Jacksonville restaurant stands out by doing something increasingly rare, letting skill, experience, and exceptional local ingredients take center stage. There's no need for foams, smoke, or culinary theatrics here. No distractions, no gimmicks, just precision, balance, and a level of refinement that speaks for itself. We'll absolutely continue to enjoy this gem in Jacksonville, Oregon and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for one of the best restaurants in Southern Oregon for a true fine dining experience.

We walked in this place, and the bartender rudely told us to leave. We asked why, and she looked at us dumbfounded and said, "Because you can't have a baby in a bar! You all need to leave now!" We we're all shocked at how rude she was. It's not like we were going to buy the baby a beer? But, all of the girls started to walk out and I asked the bartender if I could just have a drink while they all waited outside. She said she wasn't going to serve me and that I needed to leave right then. There were a few other customers that stood up for us and told the bartender she was being rude. One couple even offered to buy us a round at another bar so our night wasn't ruined from her. Long story short, we won't be back just based on how rude the staff was.

That she is the very talented chef's granddaughter positions her to use her ingenuity; that she works with passion, compassion, and good taste comes from Dani herself. This young lady is a gem.

You HAVE to make a reservation or you don't get through the door. The door actually takes you into a barbershop at Tinseltown and then (with a password) behind it, recreating a speakeasy experience from the days of Prohibition. And they ask you to dress up--no jeans. That's kind of fun, but it's really all about the food. INCREDIBLE FOOD. Four of us had 2 different beef steaks, rack of lamb and swordfish steak. ALL done perfectly and tasty, as well as various sides. No one regretted their choices. The service was impeccable--attentive but not intrusive. And then there were the deserts: the four of us shared 3 different deserts and all were to die for. I'm a longtime baker with varied experience here and in Europe and never had better deserts anywhere. Not a place for kids--no one under 21. Mocktails as well as wine and. cocktails. And fairly expensive but well worth it--we were celebrating a birthday and when they found out delivered the deserts with a huge wonderful sparkler. They have special event nights with live music and they also have burlesque nights--so ask. But you can go to just relax, enjoy and eat well.

Alchemy is in my top 3 favorite places for a dressy dinner when we are visiting Ashland. The only slightly negative thing I have to say is that we were there celebrating a birthday once and at the end of the meal our server brought out a candle on a small, flat ceramic dish. The birthday girl's comment was, "You just spent $300 on dinner and all they brought me for my birthday was a candle?" It seemed a little chintzy since most places will give you an actual dessert, not just a candle, but at least they brought a candle. Other than that tiny little thing, we still love to eat here and will be back when visiting in the future.

The latter changes seasonally--in our case it was a dashi broth with a variety of local mushrooms and vegetables. Both dishes were good, with my steak cooked perfectly and the mashed potatoes amazingly creamy without tasting too buttery; the dashi broth was delicious as well. We also split the steak tartare, the house bread, and the chips & dip (seasonal special) as appetizers. With the exception of the chips & dip, the appetizers were good but nothing outstanding. The chips & dip, however, were REALLY GOOD! I did not know you could elevate potato chips like that, but their house-made chips are delicious and I would highly recommend trying them. Both my fiancé and I were not a huge fan of the sauce (just a little too creamy, it's really smooth though so if you like creamy sauces you'll probably enjoy it!), but just eating the plain chips was amazing. They even brought us a second serving of chips for free since we hadn't used all of the dip! We also ordered a pear tart for dessert which I would also recommend getting! Delicious crust and good pear flavor.
