One of southern Oregon's most romantic restaurants is in an ivy-covered storefront a block from the Oregon Shakespeare Festival exhibit center, where it dispenses French food, local wine, and friendly, impeccable service with equal facility. This might be Ashland's most iconic restaurant, the fixed point in a hopping dining scene, where Shakespeare pilgrims return religiously year after year. A prix-fixe menu changes every two weeks. Mainstays include the pan-roasted rack of lamb with a white-wine demi-glace sauce of roasted garlic, fresh basil, black olives, and sun-dried tomatoes, accompanied by a bottle of Oregon pinot noir. But you have to begin with the French Burgundy escargots.
