In a dining landscape often cluttered with performative fussiness, Cocorico on North Ist Street…read moreoffers a welcome recalibration. 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.

I'm really glad I listened to all the good reviews here on Yelp. Cocorico is a great restaurant. I…read morewas able to score a reservation for dinner about a week before we traveled to Ashland. Our table was in their patio space, which I actually like better than the indoor part of the restaurant. The patio space feels very open and has a lot of live plants in the planters that make space between tables. It was a little warm on the patio since it was 98 degrees outside, but they keep it relatively cool on this mostly enclosed patio. Our server was great. She was so friendly and fun to talk to. She helped us figure out what we wanted to order and checked in on us just the right amount. You can tell the food here is very fresh and homemade. We started with the Deviled Eggs, which are really special. I love how they serve them over a bed of crushed up potato chips as they give this dish some salty crunch. Next we had the Beet salad, which is marinated beets over a whipped cheese. The beets do have a strong vinegar flavor, but it's balanced out beautifully by the cheese. My wife ordered the Mushroom Bolognese, which was probably the best dish of the evening. This is an incredible, vegetarian dish that is so meaty without any meat. The finely diced mushroom sauce is so good along with the handmade noodles. Also, adding burrata to it gives it a perfect creaminess. I ordered the pork chop, which was also excellent and enormous. It did take me a lot longer to eat since it was a little hard to cut, the compote on top added a great sweetness, but I feel like it could've used more. Also, the polenta and grilled asparagus was awesome. Lastly, we got the Rice Pudding for dessert. It comes with a hazelnut crumble and a dolce de leche sauce. Normally, I feel like rice pudding has a kind of thin, milky consistency, but not this. It is think and has a wonderful texture. It is probably the best rice pudding I've ever had. The nuts give a satisfying crunch and the dolce de leche sauce is light and sweet. Disclaimer: we did order one dish we really didn't like. It was a special salad with endives and lentils. The server was happy to get us another dish.

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.

Speaking, the brisket in the Banh Mi was unfortunately tough and lacked the tenderness you'd expect from a properly smoked or braised cut. It had the distinct texture of a pre-packaged Sysco-style product, or perhaps it was a cold portion reheated on a flat top without being properly rehydrated, leaving it dry and chewy. I understand that protein carries a high food cost, especially in the current market. However, a more effective approach might be to balance the menu engineering by leaning on lower food cost items, like seasonal sides or creative vegetarian options, to offset the expense of sourcing and correctly preparing higher-end brisket. This would allow for a better product that justifies its price point, covers its own cost, and ultimately helps the company's bottom line while maintaining the quality standards this town deserves. I'd love to see a return to the quality I experienced a few years ago. All and all, despite the brisket. The service was kind and friendly.

Tucked away in Ashland is an amazing hole-in-the-wall spot that's a true testament to the charm and community spirit of the area. This all-organic eatery serves up some of the tastiest dishes around, with every ingredient locally sourced. By dining here, you're not just enjoying a meal; you're supporting our local farmers and artisans. The bowls are a highlight, brimming with fresh, flavorful ingredients. While the portions are generous, I do wish the bowls were a bit bigger to hold even more goodness. Thankfully, you can always add double protein, which is a great option for those who want a heartier meal. Mason, the owner and chef, is always in the kitchen, ensuring every dish meets his high standards. His dedication shines through in every bite. The atmosphere is quintessentially Ashland, with a warm and welcoming vibe that makes you feel right at home. If you're looking for a spot that embodies the best of Ashland's culinary scene, this is it. It's a place where you can savor delicious, organic food while knowing you're contributing to the local community. I absolutely love it here! read more

I had recently shifted to a strict pescatarian Mediterranean diet, so I was scrambling to find places that had grilled fish and brown rice. Simple Cafe did not disappoint. I dined here twice in August of 2023, and again four times during my most recent trip to the OSF last month. My review is based on a composite of all six visits. Food: The food is delicious. I exclusively order the fish tacos, which are (possibly homemade) corn tortillas stuffed with grilled steelhead trout (looks like salmon to the layperson, but it's trout), a light sauce, avocado, and veg, served with a side of organic brown rice. Incredible! My wife sometimes orders the tacos as well, while my daughter prefers the teriyaki chicken and vegetable bowl on a bed of organic brown rice. My delighter can't stop talking about how tender and juicy the chicken was. Needless to say, we'll be back. Service: The service is appropriately basic, in the best possible way. There is no table service, but our interactions with staff when ordering at the shack (it's a very nice shack) have always been pleasant, professional, and quick. The food comes out quickly, so listen for your name! Your taste buds want that fresh food! Ambiance: The ambiance reminds me of the shacks you might find in beach towns right by the ocean, selling incredible food to the hungry masses. A number of tables with sturdy attached umbrellas fill the patio beside the shack where all the magic happens, and the staff come out and clean the tables regularly. The street on which Simple Cafe sits is a small tree-lined street off the main thoroughfare, so you'll be able to enjoy your meal in an equally beautiful location. As others have noted, Simple Cafe is right beside the local hardware store, which gives the place that "locals only" secret location kind of feel. To paraphrase Gordon Ramsay, Simple Cafe is simple (duh), rustic, and delicious. If you are stopping by Ashland for a visit or just a quick pit stop, head on down to Simple Cafe. If it isn't obvious by now, I recommend the Fish Taco plate, perhaps two.

It'd be great to score a place 3 minutes from my house where I could reliably go when the burger pangs hit. It would also be nice to support local business. I was looking for a classic burger date with the missus. Two classic cheeseburgers, shakes, and a fry to share. Sad state of society when that comes out to $50, but I'm never one to shy away from treating myself. I just hoped the experience was worth the pretty penny (R.I.P. penny, we will miss you). Mixed review. In order of escalating chaos. The malt shakes were an absolute hit! We got one vanilla and one chocolate. Both were so flavorful with the perfect consistency that melted into a delicious drinkable shake as the meal went on. The burger was decent and they get credit for effort. Seemed they packed their patties and threw them on the griddle, no smash-burger technique here. Kind of puzzling as the crust and maillard is what makes burgers delicious in my opinion. This had none of that. Just loose beefy flavor with a thousand islandy sauce. Tasted good but not worth the cost of admission. Lastly, the fries. Oh boy, the fries. They came out hot, and the first few bites were okay, but as they cooled down it seemed they had been overcooked or bathed in week-old fry oil. They were acrid and ashtray tasting. Left an awful taste in my mouth, even as I was walking back to my car. There was a lot of potential here, but to reach 4 stars it would have to be a place I'd think to re-visit. I am sadly headed back to In-N-Out, or even Barney's.
