Food was fantastic, it just took a really long time to get food for our party of 7. The drinks were delicious and I have never had better schnitzel.

My original review will give you more depth, but I came back to double check my work, and everything checks out! This is a unique, fun, stylish, and relaxing place to have an engaging meal. This time around, the menu was a whole new seasonal adventure. The spatzle was reworked as an autumn dish. There was a new hearty pot roast, and a whey poached trout. Every item was made with care, and the strength of each dish was the push-and-pull between strong flavors, mixed with milder items to provide a little reprieve. For example, while the accompanying brussel sprouts and squash brought a strength of flavor/texture, the trout was a simple yet delicious delight. The seasonal changes to the menu were a power move, because it felt like Christmas Eve, a whole new set of gifts under the tree to fantasize about. The spirit of exploration alone got me excited to book my next reservation. Overall, come and enjoy what Ashland boasts as the only dedicated Alsatian restaurant on the west coast.

Delicious food, great ambience, and excellent service. I had the salmon special, which was seared salmon with a cherry glaze, a cherry polenta cake and slaw. It was perfectly cooked and delicious. They have a nice selection of wines. I would definitely go back the next time. I'm in Ashland.

My personal favorite reataurant in Ashland. I ordered the gulai which was a delicious vegetable dish and I added beans to the dish. And I also ordered the fingerling potatoes which had hearty artichoke hearts included. Both dishes were really perfectly done, and very healthy dishes. Ok top of the food and waitress being nice their was a man playing guitar in the restaurant and he played the most relaxing peaceful tunes. A great experience and I will definitely be back!

Sunday Brunch was excellent. We were seated right away, and the staff were friendly and attentive. The Schnitzel Benedict was outstanding -- perfectly runny egg, flavorful hollandaise, and a delicious pretzel base. The Tarte Flambée is a must try as well. The homemade sausage, goat cheese, and vibrant berry sauce create a perfect harmony of flavors. Their coffee - flat white and espresso macchiato were smooth and well-balanced. Overall, it was a wonderful brunch experience -- great food, great service, and a warm, comfortable atmosphere. Can't wait to come back and try their dinner menu

They welcomed me back with friendly hellos and smiles. We stayed a long time for the Sunday night game night!! We played cribbage, Monopoly and sushi go. They kept us happy with pretzels, waters and the delicious Alasation Food. The chef came out to check on the food and told us he made the kids Mac and cheese super cheesy for them. It was delicious. I had the chicken thigh and beans from the kids menu and it was amazing. I thought it was just a bite but it was a full meal! I also had the salmon with celeriac puree and roe. Mouth watering. Every time I visit Ashland, I have come by since they opened and there's more delicious food! The menu rotates seasonally so it's amazing to try Chef Charlie's food! We even got a tour of the kitchen at the end. Highly recommend for a quiet dinner, date night or night out with kids. The restaurant itself is such a beautiful sight for the eyes. Julie is an artist so she brought together the yummiest color pallet and hosts a variety of of artists. This brings an extra special experience to the night.

Molly, Julie, Charlie, and their staff are wonderful, and you feel like family every time you dine with them. I've been a couple of times, and Nous is an absolute treasure. From the moment you walk in, you are welcomed with warmth, intention, and an obvious love for craft -- from the design of the space by Julie to the sommelier-curated wine list by Molly. Every dish is thoughtfully and beautifully executed by Charlie, with flavor combinations that feel both elevated and grounded with local, fresh, seasonal, and sustainable ingredients. The wine list is a true highlight -- smart, focused, and full of small-production, terroir-driven selections that pair perfectly with the menu. You can tell a lot of care went into curating it, and the staff is knowledgeable without a trace of pretension. Whether you're a casual wine lover or a full-on wine geek, you'll find something exciting to sip. We are so lucky to have Nous in Ashland!

This restaurant is an absolute gem. The moment we walked in, the ambiance set the tone for the evening warm, inviting, and beautifully detailed, from the table settings to the soft lighting and flowers that made each space feel personal and cared for. The food was extraordinary. The Foie Gras Partager was indulgent and balanced, the Moules Marinières brought richness and brightness in harmony, and the Coho Saumon Poêlé was a true showcase of precision and flavor. We ended with the Grand Marnier Soufflé, light and fragrant, a perfect finish to an exceptional meal. The staff added so much to the experience, guiding us through thoughtful wine pairings with knowledge and passion, making every sip and bite even more meaningful. And when the chef came to the table, it was clear how much care and pride he and his team put into their craft. This is a true testament to French inspired cuisine and a shining example of what Ashland's dining scene can be. We'll be back as soon as possible. And brunch is already at the top of our list!

Brand-new elevated classy restaurant in Ashland! This will be an in-depth review so the too long; didn't read version is a phenomenal and unique collection of drinks and food that you won't find elsewhere and is worth the try! If you don't recognize a dish, the staff is very knowledgeable and explain exactly what's in it. We were told the menu may be seasonal so we look forward to seeing what new items come and go and as they are currently only open for dinners, they are potentially evaluating lunch options - so TBD, but exciting! Nous is an Alsatian cuisine dining, which from a quick google search, is from the Alsace region of France that has strong German heritage and influence which matches the food presented. This restaurant breathed new life into this location with a pop of pastel colors inside. Opened just a couple weeks ago, they boast experienced Chefs and managers. While there are some small kinks, it is far more well-refined than you would expect for a newly opened restaurant and they have set themselves a high bar that I have faith they'll reach. BEVERAGES: As far as the drinks, they have great signature cocktails a solid collection of local wine and beer: some local to Ashland and the Rogue Valley, and some "local" to the Alsace region that this cuisine hails from. Some of our cocktail favorites where "The Alsatian swizzle" which was an herb based effervescent cocktail, and the "Hotel d'Alsace" which was a whisky base but cut with countreau creating an extremely smooth drink. We also tried the Leon Beyer Pinot Noir from Alsace, France and the "Weihenstephaner" which was a Bavarian beer. Both were excellent. And while it may be simple, they were very on-top of keeping our waters filled which is always nice. FOOD: The appetizers and entrees were the star of the show: the flavors were mesmerizing and the most important thing is they are so niche and unique that you cannot really compare it with any other venue around. With beautiful aesthetics came beautiful pairings, each dish having multiple flavor profiles but each melding well together. Working backwards, for the main courses: The crown is pigeon was lightly "gamey" while the texture was closer to a rare beef or duck than something like chicken. Both fish dishes (trout and black cod) looked incredible. We ended up getting the Trout with an Asparagus cream and it was amazing! On the appetizers, do not be mistaken as they appear on the menu as "L'entree" which roughly means dish prior to the main course, but to the unassuming eye they may thing it's the "entree" from that selection, the pine nut and Brie flatbread is delectable and melts in your mouth after having been warmed in their fire oven. Last but certainly not least the pretzel had phenomenal dips such as a very creamy cheese and horse radish, something unfortunately far too rare these days! Only critique we had is the desserts were very unique but maybe too explorative when you want something simpler to end the night. The pine nut brittle that gets delivered with the check however was so tasty, I practically wish I could order a whole sheet to take home! All in all- phenomenal experience and I look forward to coming back

We had a lovely dinner last night, staff was friendly and welcoming and the weather was perfect for sitting on the patio. We had the spaetzle with fall veggies and pork schnitzel. Both were delicious and portions were large.
