Absolutely an epic culinary experience, the service the drinks, the atmosphere, and most importantly the food were spot on. If you haven't been to the peerless lately, go!

Fantastic experience. I could not believe the restaurant wasn’t packed, the food was delicious and the atmosphere perfect. It’s cozy and refined without being so dark that you need to use a flashlight to see the menu. The food is unique but not so strange that you have no idea what anything will taste like. It was so good I even ate my vegetables. Dessert the was the perfect balance of sweetness. I ordered the fries and the wagyu beef and the fries were some of the best I’ve had. I’m not even sure what they were seasoned with but I will be thinking about them every time I eat fries again in the future. The beef was incredible tender. The drink I had was well balanced, strong but with a good alcohol and correct mixes. So many restaurants have switched to bottom shelf liquor and lately I’ve been avoiding ordering a drink but was so happy I did. My server was amazing and helped me navigate the menu because everything sounded amazing. The real beauty of the restaurant isn’t just in the delicious food or the friendly staff but that everything was special, you can tell that the owners and chefs and servers all care about what they were doing. Truly a special experience.

We were a party of five where two persons had a meat dish and three had a vegan/vegetarian dish. The meat dishes were HUGE and the veg ones were not. The veg dishes were all delicious but too small in size. Maybe more suitable as one out of a three course meal. The service was good but a little slow.

This restaurant was the real thing! The food was so pristine and nurtured and replenishing. The service was quality and the atmosphere was lovely. We had an amazing dinner. Thank you so much!

We went on a Wednesday night and it was an incredible experience. The food was delicious, very fresh! We even ordered desert and we typically don’t do that. My boyfriend is a vegetarian and his plate was just as good as my steelhead. Highly recommend!

I’ve been here more than once. The food is always very good and occasionally brilliant. Portion sizes are reasonable but not large if you’re a big eater. (Given the price point) Bartender is sharp and there are good wines by the glass.
Atmosphere is pleasant and homey and not crowded. Conversation is easy even with other diners.

Went for happy hour while staying next door. The burger was fantastic, probably the best bun I've ever had. Service was great. No complaints.

My wife and I have been coming here for years, but this last visit compelled me to write this review. First off the food and vibe are usually amazing. I’ve always felt you could never go wrong eating here, honestly.
But the 3 star review is for a couple things from my latest visit.
First, not a huge deal overall, but they allowed us to reserve a space online outside, but outside was closed for a wedding. So we were put inside for my wife’s birthday, when we really love the outdoor area at Peerless. Again, not a huge deal, it’s just we didn’t find out until the day before. When asked why we could book it in the first place, they told us they weren’t sure. Benefit of the doubt says that it could just be their scheduling systems fault, technology is weird sometimes.
Second, while enjoying our meal, a couple was sat next to us with a very fluffy white dog. This dog did not look like a service dog, albeit they were well behaved. This feels like it’s against health code first of all. And my wife and I were not asked if we had allergies, which we do to certain breeds. This whole interaction felt a bit odd for an establishment as upscale as Peerless.
So, the whole latest experience definitely makes me reconsider enjoying my time here, considering I’m paying around $200 for a meal for 2. Probably just an isolated incident, but again it felt strange there was no acknowledgment of the situation.
Overall okay place, but a few things were disappointing.
The deconstructed cheese and crackers was a good idea, but specific elements of that dish kind of ruined it. The dumplings and zucchinis were the best thing of the night (more like pierogies though). The bread is $9 for 4 slices, I find that outrageous even if the butter is delicious. I was extremely excited about the beef cheek and it was way too salty, the potatoes were smoked in a way that made it taste like cigarettes (I’ve never had that before), and just was not well balanced. The chocolate cake dessert was dry and tasteless (think low quality pound cake) although their sorbet was good.
Our server was lovely and yes they are severely understaffed but we were not in a rush. 3 people, 5 drinks, 2 apps, bread, 3 mains and 2 desserts for $300. Not crazy expensive but also not totally worth it.
I would try again but not immediately. Hopefully they can make me change my mind because I wouldn’t actually recommend this restaurant right now.

We had a delight dinner outside. The food is innovative and delicious. The service was very good. The patio is very attractive with a nice fountain. The restaurant is dog friendly and they even supplied our four legged friend with water!

Visiting from Las Vegas. Came here based on the reviews. Ordered the fish off of the menu and Cowhorn wine. Very disappointed, the food was mediocre at best and definitely overpriced. Previously had the wine at the Cowhorn winery and once again overpriced here. However it was perfectly chilled. Maybe this is good as it gets in Ashland but would not hit the foodie radar in Vegas. $100+ for wine and one entree , is really taking the piss. There are better restaurants in Ashland with better food, service and overall value.

They always take good care of us! We started with great cocktails: I had the Well-oiled Machinist, a duck fat washed Buffalo Trace bourbon with campari! Ooh la la! My wife had their G&T with a house made rosemary-forward tonic that was to die for. For starters my wife had amazing crisped potato dumplings with zucchini and vadouvan curry, covered in diced tomatoes and chives. (Pictured below) I had the perfect beef carpaccio.
For dinner we had the Katsu Pork Confit Crepinette, a rich and decadent creatively twice cooked pork, loosely ground, and fried crispy; and the also rich and wonderful seared duck breast where roasted root veggies played with bright fresh orange.
