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

While visiting family in Medford, we tried out Decant. It definitely is upscale, especially for Medford. Definitely a destination for locals celebrating a special occasion. While the food was good to very good, the prices felt a bit gouging. I get it is a small family owned business, but $65 for a filet mignon and almost $50 for Tri Tip? It felt like the chef is vying for a Michelin star. I've been to Michelin star restaurants and nothing was extraordinary. My main issue was with the wait staff. While they have been trained to the extreme, their demeanor bordered on arrogance and lacking in any discernable personality (a smile never appeared by any of the front of house folks). They almost seemed bored and put out serving folks. Definitely try the place out for that special occasion and decide for yourself. read more

I'm torn here. Tasty dishes, however, I cant express enough how surprised at the seemingly missing ingredients or misaligned descriptions. A dish called Poutine listed as pork belly with cheese curds.I am sure there was no more than 1 oz of pork belly with no evidence of cheese curds served over French fries. No where are fries listed. A few bacon crumbles with great herbs over (truffle) fries (truffle oil, not real truffles) does not make an outstanding dish or value. Other dishes at the table were mushroom risotto (it was great but no visible mushrooms), and mushroom bisque. Obviously we were there for happy hour and enjoyed our wine, (great selections). So maybe dinner is a better experience. Just surprised that unique advertised ingredients are miniscule to non existant. read more

Delightful! Very tasty, thoughtful dishes with multiple dimensions of flavors. Terrific service, extensive wine list. Parking may be a challenge. read more

My favorite restaurant in Medford. Food is outstanding service is outstanding and the ambience is to die for. read more

We had dinner at Decant last night. We love to go out on a date night once or twice a month and this was by far one of the best experiences we've had in a very long time. We think this is one of the best fine dining restaurants in Southern Oregon. Austin was our server and he was next level! We ordered something from all categories and it was all excellent I especially love the cauliflower steak! read more

People working there are nice enough. shouldn't ask you every few minutes how your first bite of food was, especially when it's so mediocre to not good. I've been to many restaurants all over the world. This restaurant is such a let down. You read all these great reviews, obviously fake or people that haven't got a clue. What a shame, it could be good, maybe. Halibut, dry, probably frozen. on top of so so veggies and then swimming in a supposedly yummy sauce. Not, brown salt water. i really can say that it was probably the worst fish ever, frozen fish fingers would be better. Less pretentious for sure. I can honestly say that Decant is the most expensive bad restaurant I've ever eaten at. it's one thing serving crappy food, but then to charge that much. What a shame. I had lamb. Tasteless. lamb. on a bed of undercooked pasta bits. I know, German spatzle, but not good. then more salt sauce. what a shame. Shared a pudding. Looked like it came out of a dogs mouth, or the other end. Really, vomit or poo. Extensive wine and scotch list. Stupid prices. Who is buying that there on east main, Medford? 500 a bottle to go with some overpriced underwhelming food. Such a shame. I heard the table next to us saying that they were going to in and out to get some food after wasting two hundred bucks here. Just saying. You be the judge. I'm being kind and generous here actually. I wish it had been half good, like some good food moment. Sad, how can this place even pretend to serve decent food? It's definitely not sustainable cooking, or very local. Such a shame. Way better local food from a food truck. For a fraction of the price with no pretension. read more

I cannot say enough about this gem of a restaurant in Medford. The service was fantastic, the food was exceptional, the ambiance was perfect for date night and the owner is the sweetest. My husband and I travel frequently and always look for the best food in the area, we are often not wowed but we were completely smitten with this experience. read more

Amazing place! Thoughtful service, perfect portions, everything was fantastic and well thought out . Never expected this in Medford!

Ever since new ownership has taken over, this place has now turned into our favorite local restaurant. The food is fantastic and fresh. The service is on another level. We leave feeling seen, appreciated and cared about. They greet us with a smile and leave us with a smile. They genuinely seem to enjoy their jobs and want to see their customers happy. So refreshing. Chairs comfortable. Drinks excellent. Patio adorable. We are grateful for the staff and new leadership and your hard work. It shows and we appreciate you all. read more

It has delicious food, and we had an excellent meal again tonight. We started with a shaved Brussel sprout salad with a walnut pesto. That was absolutely delicious. We then had steak tartare and grilled octopus for a second course . - no crumb was left behind. How are third course was the lack of lamb, and the steak three ways. Everything was delicious and the wine pairings were terrific. read more

I took my husband to Decant for his 76th birthday dinner. I had high hopes based on the wonderful reviews. When we walked in, we both really appreciated the clean, lovely decor. We had reserved a table on the back patio, which could not have been nicer. We were seated next to the waterfall and the fireplace. Our server was a family member and very gracious. We learned that her parents are going to be reopening the Jacksonville Inn restaurant where we used to eat every week before COVID. I ordered the Nicolas Jay 2018 Pinot Noir upon the recommendation of our server, who is also a sommelier. I would rate it a 3 out of 5. In my opinion it needs to be laid down for several more years before it develops the rich flavor I was asking for. The price was $128 for the bottle. I don't recommend it unless you're going to put it in your wine cellar for at least 10 years. My husband ordered the dayboat scallops, which were delicious, as his appetizer. I ordered the beef tartare with a bit of cold foie gras and delicious foie gras toast. My appetizer was exquisite. For his entrée, my husband ordered something that was not on the menu they sent us earlier today. He ordered the grass-fed ribeye, which was truly excellent, and was prepared by the chef who is also one of the owners. I was not so fortunate. I ordered something else that was not on the menu we received earlier in the day, which was the lamb tenderloin. The vegetables on the plate that was brought to me did not match the vegetables that were described on the menu I was given in the restaurant. Sadly, my entrée was cold when it was served including the lamb tenderloin, which was also extraordinarily tough. I did not eat it. My husband shared a bit of his ribeye with me, which was more than enough. Overall, both of us found this meal disappointing because it was his birthday celebration. When our server came to the table to ask if we wanted dessert we declined. I asked her if she would be so kind as to package up my plate and explained that it was brought to the table cold. She explained that my husband's plate was prepared by the chef/owner while my plate was prepared by a chef in training. I would have to say that the person who prepared my plate, needs a great deal more training, including the ability to tell when a meal should not be served because it is cold. I am truly sad to say we will not be going back. Our total bill was $345. It was certainly not worth this amount -- and it was not the exquisite experience that I wished to give my husband for his 76th birthday. read more

Menu is fresh and so is the food. Delicious food and cozy atmosphere. Very friendly servers.

Definitely a Top 10 restaurant in the Pacific Northwest! If you love really great food, comfortable & personable service and a fun space, you need to have dinner at Decant when you are trekking I-5. This is a restaurant that would crush it in Seattle or Portland (selfishly, I wish they would relocate near Portland). read more

Fantastic meal on New Year's Eve at Decant. Festive day and festive ambiance to match the day. Delicious food and terrific service at the restaurant. Specials were well crafted and hearty portions with good value for money. Don't miss the focaccia. Wine list is top 2-3 in the Rogue Valley with thoughtful curation of global and local bottles to complement the food. Will be back and great place to bring out of towners. read more

We went there last Friday for my friend's birthday. It was an amazing experience. The food was delicious, the wine list top notch and the service was excellent. The waitstaff doted on us and gave a recommendation for a great wine to pair with our meals. My friend doesn't eat mussels, but he ate several of these! I've been to many upscale restaurants and this one is as good or better than any in Chicago or Boston. read more

So I was bored and decided to take myself out to a nice late lunch/early dinner. This place was nearby and when I looked up the menu I was impressed but when I got there it was happy hour and the waiter initially only gave me the happy hour menu so I got the duck wings and fries. For an upscale place wings and fries was very basic order but whatever I'd never had duck in wing form. The wings were very good, had a tasty pepper sauce on it and very crispy. The fries were great as well. The waiter later gave me the full menu and I decided to try the scallop appetizer. This I hated. Now maybe I have a basic palette or idk but something was off texture wise and flavor wise. I've had scallops multiple times but the basic way they're usually made, this restaurant made them by chopping it up and mixing it with apple bits, idk I just think it needs more of the crunch element (whatever it was I can't remember but I wanted more) and some type of zest . I also got dessert. The dessert options all seemed good so I told the waiter surprise me and he brought the honey crème brûlée , it was very very good. I'd only ever had vanilla crème brûlée. I liked this honey one and the sweet salty chantilly cream on top and the huckleberry on top I only wish there was just a bit more huckleberry cause everything together was perfect bite. The restaurant itself was nice, idk it didn't look that upscale to me but the menu and the service definitely was upscale and I also sat at the front so I didn't get to see the whole restaurant. read more

I have never written a bad review of a restaurant, but I feel compelled to after eating at Decant last night. We spent over $100 for two appetizers and an entrée split between us and we were both hungry two hours later. The servings were tasty but minuscule. read more

Such an exquisite experience! I came to dinner here with a friend, for the first time, the vibe within the restaurant is warm, cozy, and extremely inviting. The Staff was extremely friendly, and knew the menu very well. I ordered two different glasses of wine, both which were good. The one pictured was a favorite. We ordered the octopus appetizer, which was absolutely phenomenal. My friend, and I shared both plates shown in the photos, and we were extremely happy with the meals. The food was cooked to perfection. I would 100% recommend this restaurant and will be back. I have yet to experience find dining like this with in the Medford area. read more

This place is an absolute gem! Everything is better than you can imagine! The squash bisque was velvety and just the right amount of cream fresh. The morell app was just the right amount of earthy ,meaty mushroom in a tomato sauce to die for. The filet was cooked perfectly. I couldn't decide which wine so they brought me 2 to taste, really nice touch! Desserts were spectacular! You want to take a bath in the chocolate mouse. The ambience and decor instantly make you feel relaxed and at home. Can't recommend enough! Michelin star worthy. read more

We had a fabulous time at Decant last night. Everything we ordered was cooked and prepared to perfection from the tasty shoestring fries to the unique and flavorful Brussels Sprout Salad, to the perfectly cooked lamb and fillet mignon, we were smiling the whole time. Austin took really good care of us, making sure that our expectations were being met at every step. The ambiance is a comfortable and warm. We planned to come to Decant in a week on our return home. We highly recommend to anybody looking for a quality culinary experience. read more

Food very good, but a bit too cozy with other guest. We enjoy having private conversations, or just talking over our day without being in the ear shot of other guest. As in most fine dining rooms each selection is priced Ala cart. I felt the lack of ambiance. The service was average, they do have good wine. read more

Food soup & salad --------- Carrot soup B+ Beat Salad A- Food sides --------- Mash potatoes A+ I am guessing a bit of fresh rosemary was steamed with the cream added to the potatoes. Judicious and an excellent pairing (rosemary not my gig; even so impressive) Collard greens were excellent Rib eye perfect to my temperature request. Smokey Flavor (not quite how to describe what I do mean but working on it) there's a not-quite-Smokey not-quite-earthy complexity to a few items tonight that to my esteem, if deliberate, is a kind of genus. This is likely simple work to convey for foodie talent but for me it's magic behind the curtain. I would guess it's taking some aspect of the prep of one of the components to the brink of charring or at least past its typical heat or prep temp to get this flavor. It's wonderful and if I am correct on how it's done it's exceedingly difficult to achieve at the level it's done here. The collards has it even the custini had it. In the collards I think protein-fat is condensed and pushed adjacent to Burt but with the kind of discipline to watch and distribute and jerk it back from the edge just in time. Collard/gravy/rib eye-salt was slightly heavy handed. I think it takes away our ability to best appreciate the chefs art/talent. It was only just to the point it slightly detracted from the overall. Mostly I was disappointed some of the chefs planning material selection art was muted due to it. Service --------- Staff poise 'A' Brevity/Detail and "reading the room" Exceptional grace very much exceeded expectation especially with respect for such a youthful team. Wine paring 'A' Wait Staff knowledge of how the food was prepared 'A++++' Ambiance --------- Talented eye put this joint together. Enjoyed selection of Colors and contrast Worst aspect --------- Sorry having a laugh Fleetwing Mac lounge version I could have gone without but it certainly made us smile lambasting it. Lol what tf is the lounge lizard versions of "the cure" "Miley Cyprus" it made us laugh out loud read more

I enjoyed a stunning meal, complete with a beautiful red blend. My entree was the Snake River Wagyu, preceded by fluffy focaccia. The steak was seasoned and cooked perfectly; and the accompanying vegetables were absolutely delightful. I paired it with a glass of the Adobe Road Shift red blend, which was delicious, as well. My reception as a solo walk-in was extremely inviting, but I suspect a reservation would be in order for weekends or busier times of year...this place is just that awesome. The service was outstanding and the ambience was very classy, but still light years from stuffy. Parking is limited, so be prepared to park around the corner and walk a little...but trust me: it will be well worth your effort! read more

We tried Decant for the first time on Sunday, April 10 at about 6pm with a reservation for a party of six. We were seated on the outdoor/covered/heated patio. First of all this is a legitimate Italian American family owned restaurant that strives to have everything made fresh and in-house. It is overall a wonderful restaurant. The staff worked so well together and was always checking in on us to make sure that we were satisfied and had everything we needed. We shared the homemade Focaccia for the table, which was great. For my entree, I had the Green Garlic and Wild Mushroom Risotto. Wow, it was so good, so rich and so deliciously buttery! I thought it was excellent. Overall, the entire table thought the meal was A+ and the service was A+ Unfortunately, the atmosphere was marred by a rowdy table of 20 sitting directly behind us. About 5 of the 20 people were getting really rowdy and had too much to drink and were quite obnoxious. I would have asked if we could move; however, it did not appear they had any available areas for six inside. I would return again to Decant, just avoiding a large party if necessary. read more

I love Medford coming up ! The little special nooks ! Decant is awesome- friendly staff - nice ambiance.

Great food! Great service! Loved the relaxed atmosphere. Very nice place. I'll be back.

Amazing! This family owned gem in southern Oregon is hands down one of the most likely places I will return to even though I live out of town. The service, the wine, the food, the ambiance were all impeccable. We ordered the foccocia, farm egg salad, the sunchoke and wild mushroom risotto, the steak frites, and the crispy duck leg with collard greens, and the apple pastry with bay leaf ice cream. The steak was cooked perfectly. The desert was delicious. The duck was super tender. The salad was made with a bacon sherry vinegarette. The risotto was cooked just right. The wine list was extensive but right down to the point. I found out while I was there that the family has two sommelier, which is super impressive as well! Make a reservation!! Yummmm! read more

So happy to see another great restaurant opening in our valley. And as far as I know, this place is the only place with a Michelin Star chef (so I'm told) in the kitchen! We came on opening night as I love to see the excitement and enthusiasm on the first night of service. There can be a few "hiccups" during a startup, but to me it tells a greater story about the management and their preparedness. For that I award them 5 stars. I was also impressed with the food quality and learning about the local sourcing they strive for. I loved their mussels/pork belly with a touch of sweet chili and lime. Wifey had their pork chop with apple butter and said it was delicious! When I looked at her plate and saw it clean, I knew she was content with her choice. I tried the NY strip and was also pleased with how it was served. I like my steaks mid-rare and tender. They didn't disappoint. The environment was charming and the outdoor seating looked inviting. I wish this establishment the best in our valley and hope others will have the same, positive experience. Truth... read more

My husband and I came here for a fancy date night, we wanted to give it a try as it is on the end of our street and friends of ours gave us a gift certificate. Let me say we were not disappointed! We ordered a bottle of local wine we're familiar with so no surprises there. I got the shaved Brussels sprouts salad which was excellent, as was the pork belly appetizer. My husband order the steak (the best we've ever had, it was PERFECTLY cooked) and I ordered the pork roulade...also, just perfect. I have an allergy to parsnips so they were more than willing to substitute whipped potatoes for me, no charge. Yes, the food was the best in the Rogue Valley. Yes, it is expensive, but it is worth it and it is a fine dining experience. The service was superb. The owner, a woman our age who also has 2 young children, was an absolute delight. When she learned we were on a date night for the first time in a long time, she empathized and gave us a free dessert (burnt cheesecake, oh my gosh, delicious) and some aperitifs. She was so friendly and generous! If you're raising young children and on a tight budget, this is the place to go for those special occassion dinners. We definitely plan on coming back to celebrate our anniversary this fall. If you're older and can afford to eat here more often, then you definitely should and well, I'm jealous...and happy for you. Side note: I heard her family is taking over the Jacksonville Inn...this is a great development and I look forward to trying there again soon. read more

Outstanding Fuod and Service! We ordered the cauliflower steak and the fillet and both were exceptional!

Reservations were easily made online, got a reminder and ready notice via text. We were promptly seated. Servers were engaging and professional. The restaurant is clean, intimate and accommodating. We had a cocktail and wine, both amazing. 3 appetizers. Truffle fries, Puget Sound mussels, and risotto. All three were precursors of what was to come: full flavor, fresh and the risotto was especially amazing. Layered and delicious. Main course was tritip and filet. Top notch. Desserts were similarly very nicely prepared. I will definitely return to this restaurant. Prices are high for the area, but if you enjoy the possibilities that fine cuisine can offer, this is your spot. The wine pours were three ounces instead of a typical four, so depending on your mix rate, you may need to get a second glass with your meal. I will be rooting for this place! read more
