We loved this restaurant so much we booked a reservation for the next day. Cocktails were creative and delicious (loved the White Lotus). Food was amazing too - we had the asparagus appetizer, peri peri chicken, and lamb with bucatini pasta. The staff was really warm and attentive. Highly recommend. read more

It felt like an excellent European restaurant! Excellent food and service! We went there twice in a week!

The food was so incredible! Our waiter Ben, was amazing, making suggestions from the menu. You can tell that the owners pay attention to details. The ambience on the patio was perfect. I highly recommend it. It was my favorite place to eat in Ashland! read more

Great food and service! We sat on the covered patio in the back. Everyone loved their meals. I would definitely come back.

Food was amazing. The staff were friendly, kind, and helpful. Vibes were immaculate. 5 stars, will return.

The food, service and ambiance were all just first class. We enjoyed a lovely evening there before attending a show at the Shakespeare Festival. This is a place we will most certainly return to soon when in Ashland. Delicious food! Terrific service and the decor was lovely. Even the background music (a bugaboo for me) was perfect. read more

We had an excellent meal here tonight. We were greeted warmly by the receptionist who offered us a choice of tables. Kyle, our server, was friendly, efficient, and personable. We shared the devil eggs and frisée salad (both excellent), while hubby had the Carbonara, and I had the Lamb Shank. Both excellent. Wine special, ordered by the bottle, was excellent. Cute atmosphere, not loud, and a wonderful meal. Doesn't get much better! read more

Everything about this place is worthy of many more than 5 stars. I had the best mocktail I've ever had and that's not even a special feature of this delightful restaurant. Amazing service and amazing food. We sat at a bar and made nice with another couple who were celebrating their anniversary. We were at the bar because we, silly old folks, screwed up our reservation, but the staff accommodated us. The whole experience was delightful. read more

Ambiance, food quality and taste are always top notch ! Servers are very attentive . Love their restaurant. read more

Tried Cocorico last night for the first time and it did not disappoint! The food was some of the best I've had in Ashland. The service was impeccable, with each member of the staff being so accommodating. The music and decor/lighting in the dining room are perfect for a date night or dinner with friends. I'll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend this place! read more

Cocorico has to be one of my favorite restaurants in Ashland. Seriously, Ashland continues to surprise me with so many great restaurants. Here's what I ordered: -House Salad -Garlic Bread -Grilled Octopus -Braised Lamb -Carbonara I would, in a heartbeat, order everything again. Given that the house salad had a buttermilk ranch dressing, it didn't feel as heavy. My absolute favorite was the grilled octopus with the charred skin gave it an extra crunch and the oyster mushroom cream with lentils was absolutely delectable. Beware bread lovers, their garlic bread was simply irresistible. I nearly ordered 2 orders of the bread. It was so especially paired with their extra creamy carbonara. Talk about a carb overload. As for their braised lamb, what can I say it was so tender that it fell right off the bone and the polenta was simply chef's kiss. Given the amount of food I ordered, I too was surprised that I ordered dessert. The marionberry pie was nice and warm and served with their house vanilla ice cream. But I did personally like their cheesecake more and I'm such a sucker for the crust. As far as the ambience, it's a very quaint little place. But the hostess was nice enough to provide patrons blankets for those seating outside to keep warm as the heaters may have not been strong enough to keep folks warm. Nevertheless I definitely will be raving about Cocorico to my colleagues and friends if ever they make their way to Ashland. read more

Based on the website, I was a little concerned that the ambiance would be too rowdy for what I was in the mood for, and I was even more concerned when my husband and I were seated at a two-top right next to the front door inside the smaller room immediately to the left of the entrance. However, I was pleasantly surprised with a cozy and intimate dining experience. It was lively but not rowdy, and the service was impeccable! The wine selection was robust, so my husband wanted to get a bottle. But the French Gimlet had caught my eye, so I convinced him to get the Bourbon Renewal. Both cocktails were delightful. I am a sucker for deviled eggs, so I had to order them! Any opportunity in which someone else does all the hard work to prepare a deviled egg, right!? The deviled eggs were presented on a bed of salt and vinegar kettle chips was a unique addition which elevated some rather ordinary deviled eggs. On to the entrees! My husband let me have a couple bites of his braised lamb which just melted in my mouth and had a lovely flavor to the meat. I opted for the Carbonara which was so rich and decadent; I was ready for a nightcap and bed after that meal. I didn't even have room for dessert. Cocorico was great for a casual yet upscale date night. The aesthetic and service fostered a cozy, casual yet upscale date night experience. read more

Cocorico is by far my current favorite spot in Ashland whenever I visit town. I'm honestly kicking myself that I didn't find out about them sooner but their cute, unassuming building off Main Street flew under my radar for at least a year before I finally found them. Whenever I go, I order their to-die for garlic bread and inhale every bit of it with its light garlic flavor and shaved parmesan. Other than that, I have not ordered the same thing twice and every time I have tried something, the flavors have been wonderful to a point that I continue to come back. I do also believe the portions are a generous size for the level of quality I am getting and always leave sated. Service has always been knowledgeable and understanding to me being solo and usually working on my laptop when I sit down for dinner. This restaurant is definitely one of those places I resist writing a review because of how much I enjoy their food, but they really do deserve the recognition. read more

Last night, my husband told our excellent server that the dinner experience was one of the best he's enjoyed in a restaurant in several years. We deeply appreciated the corner booth location and the very delicious meal. As a non-beef eater, he loved loved LOVED the mushroom bolognese and I truly enjoyed the summer pasta special, too. Super friendly server and host...we will be back! read more

Everything was great. Service was superb. Waiter was friendly, helpful with dinner suggestions and appropriate timing. Ambience was warm and cozy. Dinner was terrific. Deviled eggs to die for, delicious house salad with in house made Ranch dressing, delicious roasted chicken and spaghetti Carbonara and incredible rice pudding dessert. Moderately expensive but, worth it. If we lived in Ashland we would frequent this restaurant with special events. Unfortunately, we were travelers on a mid trip stop. Can't wait to travel through Ashland soon. read more

One of the best restaurants in Ashland and Medford. They pair flavor and quality ingredients. The braised lamp reminds me of some Morocco flavors with Harissa and preserved lemon that sets this dish on fire. It cuts through the dark and savory meet and jus. The halibut special had perfect crispy skin and flaked apart. I also loved the smoked sardine frisee salad. The smoky and salty brine of sardines and olive croutons is perfect with the black berry's and citrus vinaigrette. read more

Great food, service and experience. Highly recommend this restaurant. We will return!

Great food, service, and a real French chef, wonderful place we go to for our special occasions. Only drawback: they only seat up to 4 people at a table. We love it. read more

If you want a truly lovely dining experience from reservation to dessert this is the place. I was contacted by staff when a heat wave began and offered an indoor reservation! Beyond thoughtful. We arrived with such warm welcome by the Host. A lovely table by the window to people watch while we sipped great cocktails. The food is just amazing.. my husband had the stuffed trout and I had the roast chicken. So delicious, hot in temperature and the portions were ample! My husband had apricot gelato for dessert ( I was too full). Staff were great and mindful of our play tickets for timing. We were not rushed. I wish we lived closer I would eat here often! read more

Restaurant is on the smaller side and tables are close to one another. They do have a patio out back that is more spacious. Since the restaurant is small, I do recommend reservations. Service was good. The food was really good although the I would not recommend the beet salad. The flavor was off. The deviled eggs, lamb shank and steak were all delicious. I really don't think the lamb could have been cooked more perfectly. The wine list is small but they offer good choices. They also have a really good mixed drink menu. read more

Holy cow - the meal, the waiter, everything was knock your socks off amazing! The food was so delicious - we did starters including the deviled eggs (these were by far the best deviled eggs either of us have ever had), two absolutely delicious mains - so so yummy! And all of this presented by our awesome waiter, Tim! You have to eat here!! read more

Elegant dining well worth coming to dine at where the atmosphere is great and food much, much better

The server was nice. The entry way was a wreck. 4 people walked past me and said "hi" without helping me. There's was no "someone will be right with you" "have you been helped". Just "hi". It was lame and awkward. The food was meh. I got the steak and it came with a mushroom cream sauce that really ruined the plate (and I love mushrooms. It tasted like canned mushroom soup). My husband got the spaghetti and meatballs. I didn't try it but he said it had a weird aftertaste. We got two cocktails which were just OK. We got the deviled eggs (husbands idea) and they were not great. The atmosphere was cool but the entryway was truly horrendous with a weird curtain and stacked books on a makeshift host desk. Made no sense to make that the face of your restaurant. Not worth the money. Waste of a date night. Luckily the company was good. read more

Sweetest hostess ever, such attentive waitstaff, and DELICIOUS food offerings. Such a romantic and intimate vibe inside with so many cozy nooks & booths. I cannot WAIT to come back! read more

This place is incredible! I can't believe I have lived here for a year and half and I only just discovered this place! Definitely above and beyond at this restaurant and it also comes highly recommended by my neighbor Maggie Parsons ( She knows everything BTW). This is a must visit if you're in Ashland! read more

Such a delicious dinner. It has a very intimate and cozy vibe and we really enjoyed our time for dinner here. Our warm olives were full of flavor and just so delicious. The octopus was tender and the burrata was good too. My only qualm with the burrata was I wasn't in love with it being served with cooked apples. It was almost too bland for me. The carbonara and mushroom bolognese were made with homemade pasta that was absolutely delicious and cooked perfectly. The spaghetti for the carbonara was almost more like angel hair but it didn't really bother me. The crème brûlée was also creamy and fabulous. Our server was very attentive as was the rest of the staff. Would absolutely come back! read more

This is a really cute restaurant with a great atmosphere and vibe. We started with martini's which were extremely well made. For food we started with the deviled eggs and the watermelon + feta salad. Both were excellent. For our main course my wife had the octopus and I had the roasted chicken. Again both were excellent. The service was excellent and the entire staff were extremely pleasant. This was a great find as we were traveling thourgh Ashland. It will be our go to place! read more

The host of the VRBO where we stayed recommended Cocorico as one of the best restaurants in Ashland. My wife and I heartily agree. It features a great combination of fine food, service and ambiance, starting with the wonderful hostess Grace's greetings. The restaurant is divided into several smallish rooms, which adds to the atmosphere and helps keep it pretty quiet. It's a creative menu. We had a great salad and peppers as appetizers, following by a large lamb shank (with harissa and hints of preserved lemons) and trout (with feta and grape leaves). I'd seen one or two comments about the dishes being on the small side. I'd say the opposite: Both the appetizer and main helpings were quite substantial. We sat the in the back, semi-open but covered courtyard, nicely set up and decorated to make the most of the space. The tables were spaciously spaced apart from each other. Plus there was a large, pretty planter between us and a neighboring couple, adding to a sense of privacy. All in all, very highly recommended. Though there are lots of good restaurants in Ashland, we'll definitely head back to Cocorico on our next visit! read more

inventive and imaginative both in the kitchen and at the bar. super fresh ingredients prepared with a deft hand to go along with a nice selection of local wines. throw in great service and yes this restaurant deserves all the great ratings read more

If there was an option for 10 stars I wouldn't hesitate to give it. WOW. First, we were met at the host stand by the front of house staff (who we came to find out is the Chef's wife!) She was very friendly and chose to walk us through the restaurant's different rooms to choose our favorite table. We eat out a lot ranging from Taco Bell to Fine Dining and I've never had that experience ‍ We chose the completely heated and covered patio. It was perfectly decorated and we made friends with the couple who we were seated next to. Once sat, in their very busy restaurant, we were greeted by another member of the staff - quickly followed by our waiter. Our waiter and his service and attention somehow topped the taste and quality of the food and flavors we had from appetizer, through dinner, and dessert. He was fantastic, not nosy or hovering, but helpful, knowledgeable, and genuinely excited about the food and place of business. The food... Again, WOW. The Burrata appetizer with apples and chili crisp was simple, and made for an amazing mix in both texture and taste. The appetizers were so good, we ordered 3 entrees. Mushroom Bolognese (added meatballs as recommended by our waiter) , The Carbonara, and the Lamb Shank. All of them were above my expectations - especially considering the price. All entrees were between $24-$35ish. Not small portions at all, and each had very high quality ingredients. Overall, this is our new favorite spot after one visit. My ONLY regret is not remembering the name of our waiter so that I could request to be sat in his section again next time. Awesome experience and I highly recommend this place to anyone willing to spend extra money on a well-earned tip by the end of the night. read more

I've yet to be disappointed by Yelp's crowdsourcing. This restaurant has 5 stars, and well deserved. I arrived early, and since alone, I offered to sit at the bar, but the host and owner seated me at a nice spot in their covered outdoor area. The atmosphere was perfect on a warm spring day they still had a couple propane torches lit. I'm from Portland, and was recently in Italy, so it's difficult to impress me, but I was. From their homemade bread, artisan herbed cheeses, and homemade pasta, everything was amazing. I had the spaghetti and meatballs. The owner is from southern France and was told the meatballs were a family recipe of beef, veal, and Pork. So delicious! I highly recommend Cocorico. read more

For an upscale meal in Ashland, this is a good place to go. It's not that small but it's very cramped in the inside, so much so that if you arrive before they're ready to seat you, you have to wait outside. (There's a bench.) I'd recommend making your reservation for the back patio, which is slightly more spacious, and is enclosed and even on a cool evening was adequately warm. I didn't need to keep my jacket on. You do really, really need a reservation. Make it online (there's no phone) and be prepared for a barrage of text messages asking you to confirm. They really don't want no-shows. As anyone who knows me would have guessed, I ordered the lamb shank - it was in fact to get this that I decided to eat here. Ah, it was a fine shank, big and juicy with plenty of meat but not dry. Putting it on a bed of polenta that the gravy got into was also a really good idea. Starting with a caesar salad (full-leaf romaine, so use your knife) and finishing up with a dry but rich chocolate mousse also very good. My waitress was Meg, who kept a constant eye on all of the tables in her care and didn't let any of us go neglected or overlooked. It was a pleasure to watch her doing her job so well. read more

The ambiance, cocktails, and delightful dishes make this restaurant our #1 choice in Ashland. The service team provides an elevated but fun experience. Did I mention their amazing cocktails? They are generous and refined. My new favorite may be their empress gin aviation! Beautiful and delicious. I loved the many gluten free options, including garlic bread! We had the beet salad, watermelon salad, and lamb shank. I can't wait to return! read more
