This restaurant is absolutely fantastic! The outdoor terrace creates such a romantic atmosphere. My bestie ordered the Wagyu beef brisket, which had a Mexican twist--an ancho chili barbecue sauce, tomatoes, and capers! My flounder dish was unforgettable, though I can't recall the exact accompaniments. The fish was drizzled with a delicious soy-based broth, and both my husband and I agreed it was the standout dish of the night. We also tried the fried pork belly (no photo) and passion fruit panna cotta! This panna cotta was unlike any I've ever had--absolutely delicious! Highly recommended, 10 out of 10! read more

Birthday dinner ... food was outstanding for everyone at my table. Missed opportunities for great service: * quite dead flower in the table vase; I had to ask for them to be removed, and they weren't replaced. * Asked for wine suggestion with my tri-tip entrée, and received a great pinot noir ... but in a slim white wine glass. When I asked for a red wine glass, server says "but I brought the glass they gave me at the bar." A few minutes later, a red wine glass is slammed on the table. No removal and re-pour. * At end of meal, a different server appears and asks how everything was. We made honest compliments about excellent food, and when I added "Sorry to be fussy about the wine glass, but it makes a huge difference to me," server says "Hey, we'd give you a sippy-cup if that's what you wanted." We'll find other places to eat in the future. read more

My husband took me here for my birthday. We used to love fine dining together a good amount but with my health, I took a year off from eating out at restaurants. So we were really excited to try this place especially with it saying organic etc. Our server was super chill. Very nice. The food was pretty good. The only thing I thought was odd was that the center of my steak was very cold. The potatoes it was served with was hot. But I didn't want to make a fuss and have it heated or sent back. It wasn't ideal but at the same time there's a lot worse things in the world than a cold steak. read more

Food quality remains outstanding. However, the prices have skyrocketed since we last came. They charged us $9 for bread, and two stamp-sized pieces of focaccia came out to greet us. For some reason, that felt excessive and rubbed us the wrong way. Didn't set the best tone. The entrées were outstanding and executed to perfection. The tri-tip was seasoned beautifully and the accompanying BBQ sauce provided a contrasting sweet kick to each savory bite. We also had the halibut which was a gorgeous umami experience, bathing in a delicious dashi. I didn't leave behind a single drop. The ambience in the outdoor patio is very romantic. At least three couples were celebrating their anniversary dinner there. It may be worth it to stop by for a rare special occasion, but otherwise I doubt we will be back anytime soon. While the food is great, the Manhattan-level pricing puts it out of reach if value is important to you. read more

WOW, just wow, from start to finish! Started with a glass of bubbles to celebrate our Anniversary. Our server recommended we start with the Caesar salad which was beautifully plated and perfectly dressed. I ordered the Filet and it was one of the best I've ever had. It gave Hell's Kitchen a run and as a craft, was a bit better to me! It was perfectly paired with just the right amount of my favorite sauce, Bordelaise, and had a beautiful slight touch of truffle. Hubs ordered the Mushroom Risotto that was smooth, creamy and tasty as well. The Parmesan foam was a great compliment to the earthy mushrooms. Not one person (staff) walked by without acknowledging us, checking to see if we needed something or refilled our glasses with wine or water. It was really nice to see the entire unit working well toward everyone's dining experience. Lastly, our main server answered all my questions about the menu or how something was prepared...even the long process of making Bordelaise (iykyk). His knowledge was impressive and he was much more than a server. Nicely done! read more

This was our second time going to Decant and we were very pleased. For a reservation for 2, we had cocktails, a glass of wine, soups/salad, an appetizer, two entrees and dessert for around $200. Frankly a pretty good deal for finer dining. The atmosphere is fine dining although the dress code tended to be more casual. Nice candle lit tables with plenty of room focused on quality over quantity. Our server was very kind and took all of our orders at once and he spaced them out very course appropriate. The highlight of the dinner was the appetizer: 18 hour duck wings with Mongolian seasoning. They were absolutely delicious! The other specifically notable observation was dessert. It seems far too common for most restaurants to have an average dessert, but not at Decant. The chocolate mousse was incredible and a very generous portion. Highlights aside, every aspect of the evening, from cocktails and salad to main course were just what we wanted. We did observed a party who came in and was rushing the server asking to bring things out whenever they were ready etc. If you're looking for something fast and easy, you'd be at the wrong venue. Decant is an experience meant to be savored and enjoyed, not rushed. read more

Spectacular food and service. Bummer Wine is overpriced compared to other restaurants. Smaller venue I suggest making a reservations. Good lighting, good separation for seating. Kudos to the chef for some of his incredible pairings. Every time I goto Medford and need to take a client too a great dinner meal this is the place to go. read more

I absolutely loved this place! We just ate there for our anniversary. The service was great and the outdoor patio had a romantic ambiance. My husband had the waygu tri tip which had a Mexican inspired flare. Ancho Chile bbq sauce, tomatoes and some gooseberries! I enjoyed the halibut and I wish I remembered the pairings. It was topped with this delicious soy dashi. My husband and I thought it was the best dish of the night. We also enjoyed the Pork Belly Fritto (not pictured) and the passion fruit Panna cotta! The Panna cotta was nothing like any of the ones I had before. It was so good! 10/10 recommend read more

Went here on my first date with my now amazing girlfriend She said I had to plan our first date and at a bar was fine lol. I want to take her somewhere more special and we both love food and farm to table, local restaurants. She said she never went to Decant because it was the most expensive restaurant in Medford. It was not, pretty reasonable for what we got and the quality. The comped us a sparkling local wine because it was a special occasion. We got a few dishes and shared. The beef appetizer was amazing, the uncooked one, I forgot what it was called. Got a seasonal risotto that was also amazing. A seasonal (around Thanksgiving) salad that was so good. And the duck that was beyond amazing. My date pick my wine because she used to be in the industry and I told her pino was my favorite and she picked such a delicious one. Staff was super nice. Attentive but not intrusive. We talked so long we closed the place down lol. read more

This is what a $22 glass of wine looks like at Decant. Not vegan friendly. Slow service. Undercooked filet mignon. read more

I don't live in Medford I'm about 3 hours away but definitely will make the drive again just to come back. The restaurant is so cute and the outside area on this nice day was outstanding. I can't express enough how amazing the staff was. The drinks and food so very good. It's definitely a must try if you are living nearby or just passing through. read more

Delicious artisan food served in homey atmosphere. Had the mushroom bisque and cod and both were spectacular.

Wonderful ambiance, service and food and coming from the Bay Area that's saying a lot. We started with the beef carpaccio and fall salad - both excellent. We had the trout, lamb and steak for our main courses. All very tasty and I loved the Japanese artichokes served with the trout. So good and unique. The lamb course was a lot of meat so make sure you are hungry! read more

Probably the worst experience I've had in any restaurant. I called at 5 pm. The guy who answered the phone said that they were so busy that only reservation open was at 8 pm. I booked a reservation for two. When we got there at 7:50 pm, a tall, awkward looking guy with white apron and dirty white shirt at the front entrance behind their greeting podium informed us that they stopped serving at 8 pm tonight because they didn't think anyone was coming that late. I reminded him of my reservation and asked if he could check it, he just stood there like a dumbfounded, deer caught in a headlight of 18 Wheeler and said, Nothing! I don't think the restaurant deserves any rating in my humble opinion. This restaurant is in my specialty folder of Never To Return. Avoid at all cost. read more

Phenomenal service and selection. Wonderful staff that was very informative on menu. Started with old fashion with a Blanton's upgrade. Then moved into heirloom tomatoes appetizer that made me like beets again. Went with Waygu Tri-tip with cherry sauce, smoked greens, goat cheese croquets and little brown grapes. Had a 3 oz pour of Pinot Noir with dinner. Finished with cherry dessert in a powder sugar cone of deliciousness and an Americano. Anything on the menu would be fantastic. Staff was very personable and kind. Met a lovely lady having dinner by herself and tried not to talk her ear off (wanted too) but Perla you were a joy to meet. I will be back but will always be passing through. I was just looking for a place to celebrate the Cubs making it through wildcard games and found so much more. Medford, you have gem here. Feed and protect it. read more

Executive Summary:  Ambiance - 4 Stars/Food - 4 Stars/Service - 2 Stars Although I write a lot of reviews at dining establishments, I don't really consider myself a "Foodie". As I don't have a fine pallet that easily distinguishes subtle flavors or textures, my review ratings usually reflect: 1.  My opinion on whether the restaurant delivers on who they think they are. 2.  An overall "sum of the parts" feeling on how the dining room, service, food, and fellowship come together.  3.  How a restaurant reacts when things don't go as planned. Gayle and I dined with 2 friends at Decant last Friday night, and largely due to excellent reviews and raving personal recommendations. As Decant's Website states, this is Medford's Best Fine Dining Restaurant.  Adding to that on the front window on this handsome residential building: Local - Organic - Sustainable.  Our early experience confirmed as much: a very attractive dining room, a somewhat limited "gourmet" menu that's priced accordingly, a serious wine list, and attentive staff that seated us and professionally took our orders.  From there, things took a bit of a turn: 1.  After cocktails, our friends each ordered a salad, while Gayle and I asked for bread for the table. Yes, we were hungry and after asking no less than 3-4 times, the bread finally came after the salads were finished. It appeared that only the last of 2-3 wait staff we engaged took responsibility to go back to the kitchen, pick up the plate and deliver it.  And there were no apologies. 2.  Later came dessert in which the coffee I ordered didn't come until our sweets were half eaten. There were also a few requests, but when one has to get up, walk over to anyone, and ask for the coffee, that's not fine dining.  Again, there was no apologies, nor was the coffee very good at whatever premium price we were paying.  3.  My King Salmon was very good, but not 5 star amazing.  The others similarly enjoyed their selections, although Gayle also noted that her Cauliflower steak was over salted, as was one friend's Risotto.  The 2 desserts ordered for the table were also very tasty. I did think that the time out of the Kitchen was a little long, but getting your bread late did relieve the hangries.  The above observations might be considered to be picky, but when a restaurant represents themselves as fine dining, etc. etc., a higher level of scrutiny should be expected and noted, especially at premium prices.  Or maybe as Gayle suggested, wait staff had an off night? So back to my 3 criteria.  In my opinion, Decant did not fully deliver on its business model last Friday evening as the wait staff service significantly dampened the combined spirit of the evening.  Gayle called the service uneven, while one friend thought it was slipshod. What I was thinking throughout all this how much I missed the old (and 5 Star) New Sammy's Cowboy Bistro. read more

Had a really nice dining experience last night. The menu was interesting and the food was well prepared. The service was fantastic with very friendly staff. My only concern would be the prices, but I also understand that in this day and age, fine dining isn't affordable anywhere. All this to say that I'll be back. read more

It was great. From the time you walk in the door, the staff is welcoming. The drinks were delicious , the appetizers were memorable and the entrees were exceptional. My son got the chocolate mousse for dessert and I got an extra spoon. Best dessert I ever ate! He's lucky he got any of it. Go here. It isn't cheap but you won't get better food anywhere in this area. And the wait staff is superb. I think our waiter was Chris. I'd adopt him. But Michael and the others watched over everyone and if you made eye contact, they were right there. Can't say enough about the service. The place is spotless. It is comfortable. It was really a lovely experience. We will go back! read more

I have been there 3 times. The first and second times, I had a decent meal and the 3rd was awful. I ordered fish that was so dry that I could eat only a bit of it, so I brought the rest home and ended up throwing it out. The cost of my meal was nearly $100 including a glass of wine and the tip. The service was excellent but I will not be going back. If I want good Italian, I will probably go to La Briccola in Ashland. read more

I was super excited to try Decant, but it was rather disappointing. My husband ordered the cod at $56 and was served a tiny 2 oz piece of fish. The risotto was good, not as good as mine. The chocolate mousse we ordered was not what they show on IG. We received a small square of dry chocolate cake with some whipped cream. Seriously disappointing. Dropping $450 on dinner for four and having it be average is not what I was expecting. I guess Medford is still Medford. read more

This was our favorite spot on our entire Oregon trip. Quick background - we came here with our couple friends for a trip in which I proposed to my fiancé. We had to call early to change our reservation as we were coming from Redwoods Forrest, and they couldn't have been nicer about the adjustment. We started with the poke tuna for appetizers and were skeptical with the portion size at first. The skepticism ended as soon as we soon our first bites. The tuna was prepared perfectly, with excellent flavor and garnish. We ordered the lamb and filet minion for entrees. When I tell you this is the best food my fiancé and I have shared together for the two years we've known each other, I mean it... and we are foodies first and foremost. The steak melted in our mouths and the lamb had an amazing sauce that added to it. Our waiter, Austin, was the star of the show. He showed us great hospitality and celebrated our special occasion with fun energy. I strongly recommend you request Austin as your sever if you have the option. Seriously, this was such a special stop. Please don't rob yourself of not going. read more

Food was amazing. Service was amazing. Quaint little restaurant. Would defiantly recommend and will go back.

The cozy intimate atmosphere was welcoming. Service was incredible. Our table was attended to by multiple servers, which was appreciated. Drinks, snacks and appetizers were delivered in reasonable time. Salad was superb, fresh and appetite enhancing, crab cakes were succulent, drinks perfectly balanced. While awaiting entrees our table of four was beginning to have difficulty carrying on conversations due to the extreme volume coming from a nearby table. For the next 30 to 45 minutes while we waited for our entrees, the laughing, shouting and shrieking coming from that table rose to a level which prevented any conversation at our table. By the time our entrees arrived, the warm ambiance and pleasure of the evening had been destroyed. We all agreed had it not been for the remarkable food and service, the entire trip would have been a complete waste of time and money. We felt it would have been appropriate for management to respectfully request the loud patrons consider their surroundings and other customers, or offer to move them or us. This is a small, cozy restaurant, not a party atmosphere bar with live music. As much as we loved the service and were blown away by the incredible tastes (best osso bucco EVER), we are now reluctant to return for fear of encountering the same situation. read more

Small quaint restaurant with great service and amazing food! A tad bit on the expensive side for the region maybe.

By Far the most delicious fresh local organic food in the Rogue Valley! Every bite was outstanding and delicious! You can feel the love from the chef's in every dish. The servers were knowledgable and uplifting. Thank you for the wonderful clean food experience. It is worth leaving Ashland to find local and organic dining. The restaurant's ambience is also enjoyable. Thank you. read more

I rarely give bad reviews but stopped here because it had great reviews for italian steak house and got hot peppers in crab cake i partially ate before my throat, tongue and lips were burning (returned partially) and duck that I turned back because they told me it also contained peppers as if it was tacos. It was instantly nauseating with a salty plum mocktail which I also returned rather than drinking and was still charged $40. Never had to pay so much to be so thoroughly sick to my stomach with no consideration. read more

Sorry, but the experience we had was abhorrent. It started off ok enough, but drastically decline from the greetings and welcome. We ordered an appetizer and cocktails, after that we're left and basically forgot about. Seriously, hungry and no appetizer arrived, only to be given apologies and after about 2 hours our dinner arrived. This isn't a large restaurant, it's a small house with a few tables and no excuse for guests to be forgotten. The food was good, but sadly the only memories we're going to have are the lack luster experience. read more
