    Pad Thai  tofu and Thai Fried rice.
    Alan H.

    I like Thai and beg to differ with the reviews that say the food here isn't good. It is good! That being said I am giving four stars rather than five because the Thai fried rice lacked flavor unless you swallowed one of the large chucks of hot pepper. These were big chunks of hot pepper that included the seeds. The pad Thai tasted good and included fresh limes to squeeze. The noodles were smaller than I am used to but it was fine. I appreciated the cup of fresh cucumbers in vinegar on the side that was included. The patio ambiance by the creek is very nice if it isn't 108 outside like today.

    Peanut tofu appetizer - delicious and filling

    Beautiful location on the creek. Beautiful cozy ambiance inside and out. They had several vegan options on the menu. The service was good. I got the special cocktail - lychee mojito. I also got the peanut tofu appetizer - delicious and filling! Walking distance to the Shakespeare festival plays.

    We were spoilt for choice when it came to dinner options in Ashland, but we settled on one close to our hotel, Thai Pepper, after a review of several menus in the area. We are able to walk in and be seated immediately, despite not having a reservation, which was nice. Our table was out back on the patio, not far from the rail that overlooks the creek. Festoon lighting hanging overhead made for a cozy experience as the sun began to set. I'd settled on what I was going to order long before ever being seated: the Tiger Cries had all the right words attached to it: steak, onions, tomatoes, lime, garlic, peppers. I knew I was in for something great! My wife ordered the Yellow Country curry, with tofu instead of chicken, and our daughter went with the Spicy Lemongrass Soup. An order of Tiger Rolls was shared amongst all. The Tiger Rolls were ridiculously creamy, a little light on the crab, but otherwise excellent; I wish there'd been more than four! My wife enjoyed her Yellow Country, as she is a fan of curry more so than myself, and commented on the richness of its sauce, fresh veggies, and just enough spice to hit all the right notes. Our daughter made similar comments about her Spicy Lemongrass soup, enjoying the pleasant spiciness and the savory broth, although she was put off by the texture of the straw mushrooms, of which even my wife, a fervent mycophile, wasn't a fan. These could probably be substituted for a more celebrated mushroom (shiitake?) without compromising the integrity of the dish. I saved the best for last: the Tiger Cries! Although, I was the one nearly in tears, and not from spiciness (it's not), but from the utterly rapturous flavors! The flank steak was perfectly cooked to medium rare, and the sauteed onions and tomatoes were excellent as well, but the star of the dish was the Serrano-Garlic-Lime sauce. Holy hell, I could drink that stuff straight! A little heat, a little garlic, and a sharp twinge of lime by itself was already incredible, but elevated to nirvana when paired with the flank steak. I haven't had a steak experience as good as this since my last trip to Japan! My only gripe about the dish is that it ended too soon; the portion size could be a little larger, and I would be more than willing to pay more than the $21 asking price to accommodate such a request. Our server was elegant, articulate, had memorized all the specials down to minute details of the ingredients, offered suggestions and favorites from the menu, and another highlight of the experience. I wish I'd caught her name, to give praise to the manager on her behalf, but unfortunately I did not catch it. Known for its Shakespeare festival, I did not anticipate that our finest dining experience in Ashland would be at a Thai restaurant over, say, a British one, but this was a happy surprise, and one that I hope to revisit the next time we're in town. Until then, this Tiger will be crying until he can tear into another flank steak coated in that amazing sauce.

    Rack of lamb, perfectly mid-rare.

    After a less than perfect start, and only dining at Thai Pepper for lunches for years, we started going for dinners a couple of years ago (pre-Covid). Oh man. This is what we had been missing. Excellent cocktails, top-notch seafood curry, and lamb chops to die for. Plus fried bananas and ice cream for dessert. Pro-tip: sit by the creek, especially in the spring when the snowmelt is roaring by. Beautiful setting. We have 215 check-ins here (and probably missed some), so they're clearly doing somethings right: the food, and the cocktails, and the service. Wait, that's all there is :D

    Yellow Country Curry, highly recommended

    Cozy atmosphere, delicious entrees of red curry seafood and cashew vegetables. Amazing flourless chocolate torte with caramel sauce.

    Me and my crew came here to this Chinese buffet last night after a long day of work. I know a…read morebuffet will please everybody cause they can all find stuff they like out of all the food out there. I have NO idea what all these bad reviews are about! We had a fabulous time eating dinner here at the Tin Tin Chinese buffet. The price on weekday dinners is around $18 ...and NO tax! Please tip though. This is a pretty big place with a decent sized buffet. There's more choices than I could even try. Old dried cold food? Not here! Everything was hot and fresh as I saw trays being replenished. We went around 5pm, so yeah if you are not so smart and show up 15 minutes before they close, no the food will not be fresh and many trays will be empty, cause no business is gonna fill trays with new food right at the end and then have to toss out a ton of food after they close! We were seated in a nice booth and there seemed to be a lot of other people enjoying the food here, plates piled high with seafood and other tasty looking foods. They have all the standard American Chinese food people expect, like sweet and sour pork, egg rolls, fried rice, hot and sour soup, broccoli beef and honey walnut prawns along with some dishes I didn't know what they were. But besides these standard dishes, some more authentic dishes were available as well, like deep fried calamari with jalapeno and salt, whole baked salmon and steamed white fish, stir fried green beans with garlic, salt and pepper fried whole prawns. No chicken feet though! Some dishes I've not see at a buffet were, pulled BBQ pork, Chinese BBQ pork, sweet and sour meatballs on a skewer and even custard tarts for dessert! There's plenty of choices for all tastes, even a section of spicy Korean foods as well as sushi rolls. There is even a cold foods and salad section ... I passed saving tummy room for hot foods! The quality of all the food was above average for buffets and or equal to a sit down and order ala carte place. Drinks besides water are not included in the base price. Sushi wasn't the best, but I come for the Chinese food. Service was fine. Every time we went back to the buffet to get more food, the dirty plates were cleared from the table upon my return. I'd recommend this place for an easy dinner for a large party or just two! Or five!

In the spirit of oncoming summer, I started with the gin and tonic, which I renamed the pink sucker punch. It's a tasty drink that surpasses the staid English go to for old farts. Had the Gems salad, which was a well rounded bowl of delights -- radishes, avocado, gem lettuce in a house vinaigrette that hums. We then went to the crisp, which was fine but not extraordinary -- blame it on my indifference to rhubarb, which I've always found nothing more than a way to confuse strawberries. For the "main" course we had the fried chicken, which came as a huge serving of four beautifully crisp pieces of juicy breast meat coated in a nicely spiced Aleppo chili breading and coated in just enough of "Ted's" honey to make a bee weep but not so much as to enrage the queen. The Calabrian cream sauce will Make you weep because it's so good. On my night, the chef had prepared a pickled fennel slaw that was the star of the dish. I without shame asked for more. It was such a nice touch. Bravo. I paired my chicken with a 2022 Fuchs & Hase 'Pet Nat Vol II' bubbly that stood up nicely to the complexity of the chicken. Our server was so smart, knowledgeable and funny and a treat to interact with. I wish I could clone her and take he with me to every restaurant meal. Treat yourself in Ashland with a trip to Bat Julliet. You'll be glad you did.

    I'm saddened. I've…read moreworked in restaurants my entire adult life. As a chef at two James Beard-winning restaurants, a server, owner, and consultant, I have dedicated my life to the food industry and the people within it. I'm from Ashland, and I was so happy when places like this started showing up in my hometown. Good food and atmosphere can be so hard to find. Coming home to Ashland can be a true oasis for my family. My wife and I have made it our life's mission to make our daughter feel equal and included. Our daughter was born with a rare condition called AMC and does not have normal function in any of her limbs. She currently spends 3-4 days a week in physical therapy to continue building strength so her body and organs can function properly. We were visiting family at the park and suggested stopping in for a beverage and snacks to escape the heat after a long day. We typically plan everything ahead to ensure wherever we go can accommodate my daughter's wheelchair and needs. When we arrived, we thought, "Wow, perfect, she can wheel right in and up to one of the many open tables." Once we were "greeted" by the host, I realized we were not who she wanted to deal with. Three kids, three adults, a stroller, and a wheelchair. She looked like she wanted nothing to do with us, like we were dirt on her shoe. "No reservation," she said. I replied, "Yeah, so sorry, we figured since it was a Monday night right when you opened, and there were only two two-tops seated, we could probably find somewhere to sit." I reassured her we would not stay long enough to impact reservations at the larger front tables, which usually have reserved markers on them but did not at the time. We could all feel that she didn't want to seat us, and we left despite me practically begging to make something work for us, because I know she could have if she wanted to. Being from the industry, I understand what kids can do to an atmosphere, and I know a lot of restaurant workers don't enjoy dealing with other people's children. But when we went outside and my daughter cried and said, "They didn't want me there" So I loaded my daughter's wheelchair back into the car so I could carry her up the stairs at Brickroom, where one employee was working the entire place and took amazing care of us, I might add. We resorted to a booster seat for my daughter since she couldn't use her wheelchair there. She ended up falling out of the seat and slamming onto the hardwood floor. She cried and was embarrassed. The young man tending bar while also waiting every table rushed over with a bag of ice to comfort her. It was honestly touching how kind he was. When we left Brickroom, we had spent more time there than we originally intended to spend at Bar Juliet. As we walked back by Bar Juliet, we noticed the restaurant was still only about half full, and one of the large front tables had remained open the entire time from around 4:10 until 5:40 when we walked by again. I had to stop and ask the host why she couldn't have seated us considering that table never filled. Her only explanation was, "Our kitchen is slow getting food out." Such an incredibly weak excuse. I hope she understands she was wrong and that she made my daughter feel unwanted simply because accommodating us wasn't convenient for her. I have never left a review in my life, but I was so saddened and disgusted by this experience that I felt I had to.
