One of our favorites in Ashland. Classic drinks and speakeasy atmosphere is inviting, and the menu is excellent. Waitstaff is knowledgeable about the menu and very helpful.

Had a great birthday dinner in their dining room, wonderful ambiance with tasteful understated piano music, attentive service and excellent food (we had short rib & chicken Breast for entrees, beet salad & roasted cauliflower soup for appetizer, plus cocktails, all first rate). Great decor, great place for a celebratory meal.

The food was delightful. I’m not vegan, vegetarian, or gluten free, but I would order the Seasonal Veggie Plate again. It was unparalleled for taste combinations and textures.

This restaurant is adorable! Great decor with art deco murals on the walls. It has a 1920's feel throughout which was so cute. The dinners they were serving looked delicious but we were there for after theater cocktails and dessert. The orange crème brûlée was amazing and the lemon mousse delicious. Port was a great accompaniment to the desserts. Service was fabulous even though we were close to closing when we arrived. Highly recommend.

Heresay is Gayle's type of place with its comfort, subdued lighting, and a great take on her favorite Bombay Sapphire Martini. We sat at the bar and had just missed their 5-6 pm happy hour. The bartender who took care of us during our too short stay was great and fit right in to the Hearsay Vibe. After a huge (and late) burger lunch at Yak's on the 5 (Dunsmuir) on our drive up, we ate lightly. That was a cup of soup (and bread) for me and brussels sprouts for Gayle. She had enjoyed a nice glass of Chardonnay after her Martini, while I handled the evening with a single Stout and water. We were only in Ashland for 3 nights and didn't get a chance to return to Hearsay for a full dinner. But thanks to our Hearsay experience and the amazing OSF production of Macbeth, Gayle is already planning to be back later this season.

Food is great. Fantastic garden. Good service and location. Super fun. So glad this place is here in Ashland.

The food was absolutely amazing. I wish I could give it a better review but hard to when our drinks took over 15 minutes. Our server blamed the bartender, even though we saw our drinks sitting at the bar. Again the food amazing. Maybe we just had a server who was having an off night.

The pork belly is fabulous! & The breaded chicken was the best chicken I have tasted and we loved the ceaser salad. We will be back, it will be a little while, maybe next year because it is pricey.Kid-friendliness: Not any kid friendly food

Came here on Valentine's Day with my husband. The food was tasty and the staff was friendly.
Husband and I were in town for the weekend and wanted to go out for a nice dinner. Chose Hearsay and am so happy we did. Ambiance was great - cozy with live piano music. Food was outstanding. We split a Cesar salad and both ordered the beef tenderloin. Highly recommend. All-in-all a lovely spot for dinner. We'd definitely go back.

As Ashlanders, we've been frequently disappointed by local dining establishments, which never seem to deliver. Happily, we can give a hearty thumbs up to Hearsay, where we've dined thrice in the last six months or so. Food preparation is excellent, with no misses from appetizers to dessert. Service is gracious; a bit on the slow side, but gives time to relax and enjoy the company and appreciate the comfortable, attractive, and quiet retro atmosphere of the place. In all, a thoroughly satisfying dining experience.

Our server was absolutely outstanding. One friend had a birthday, and the restaurant provided a complimentary dessert surprise. What fun! I would have liked to see a few more entree choices, but all else was perfect.

The food was beyond delicious and the staff was very attentive even though they were quite harried by a large (loud) group. Dessert was difficult; too hard a choice and not really enough room, but some sacrifices are worth it! Great place and now we're wondering why we waited so long to try it.

Wonderful paintings on the wall and a great long bar set the tone. The food is excellent and the service could not be better. Unlike several other restaurants in Ashland who have a time frame for your dinner, Hearsay allows you to set the pace of your meal.
