Beasy's On the Creek — Restaurant in Ashland

While on a short vacation to Ashland OR, we decided to splurge the last night and eat out at a nice restaurant. After looking on-line and asking our hotel staff, Beasy’s On the Creek came up quite a few times. We made a reservation and were on our way. Beasy’s is a true steak and seafood restaurant. Numerous steak and various seafood choices. Not a lot of “fluff” and other dishes. Just well prepared, well presented and very delicious steaks and seafood. Upon our arrival, we were quickly seated - a nice window seat overlooking the creek area. We decided to eat inside (it was 91F outside) but the outside seating looked great - and had quite a few people dinning there! Their wine and beer list a very good - top choices. We ordered a nice cab and I had my go to Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. Once we settled in we studied the menu and decided on a bowl of their clam chowder as an appetizer. I ordered the NY Steak and my wife had the seafood special of the evening - halibut with 2 grilled prawns. The chowder was delicious and paired well with the warm bread they brought along. This chowder had a creamy, rich broth with lots of chopped clams. No potatoes, no celery - just a rich creamy broth and tons of clams. Very nice!!! After we drained the bowl (even mopped up some of the last with the bread ;-), our dinner salad arrived. You pick one of 3 - I went with the house salad and my wife the hearts of romaine with Green Godess dressing. My salad was great - lots of crunchy iceberg lettuce, some tomatoes and really tasty chopped green olives. It was great!

Finally the main attraction!

My steak was cooked exactly how I wanted it - medium rare and was covered in a deep mushroom sauce with sliced mushrooms and a side to potatoes au gratin. The steak was quite tender - sometimes tough with NY Strips. Cooked prefect and the mushroom sauce was a great compliment - didn’t overpower - complimented well! The vegetable of the day was steamed broccoli in a butter sauce. They were cooked how I like time - crisp tender. My wife prefers hers more “cooked tender”. I was happy. My wife’s halibut was pretty large - grilled lightly and covered in a mild citrus sauce. The prawns were also nice sized - and grilled but not so much to try out the prawn. The citrus/butter sauce, like my mushroom sauce never tried to take over the show. Enough richness and taste, but still let the mild halibut and prawns be the stars. The rice pilaf that came with the fish we incredible. We could have eaten just that (and the chowder) for dinner! Nicely flavored and perfectly coated in a smooth sauce.

Needless to say, we ate everything - and sadly didn’t leave room for dessert.

The desserts I saw going to a few tables looked great - especially the chocolate brownie with ice cream and a chocolate/caramel sauce. It was big enough for 2 - maybe 3 people!

The service was quick and friendly.

By the end of dinner - we were happy we took the many recommendation and had dinner at Beasy’s. The food, the atmosphere and service are spot on - especially if you are looking for a fine Steak and...

Was really excited for my 31st anniversary dinner..my reservation was at cucina biazzi..they had to close and cancel reservation due to illness and recommended we have dinner at Beasy's.. unfortunately our experience was awful..2.5hr dining experience and will never return..Beasy was such a staple in our community..was really looking forward to good food and service ..didn't receive either...270.00 a real bummer. fine dining prices need to reflect fine dining experience. The salad was over dressed and soggy..my steak was a very thin New York overcooked with cold roasted garlic cloves.i absolutely never complain!! But this time I had too. Talked with my waitress about the quality and she giggled... Even my henikeken beer was outdated..caught my eye because of Christmas logo on bottle...outdated...

Awesome view and location, except for the pain in the ass lack of available, close-by parking! Why is there no valet parking offered???!!! Oh that right it's Ashland and everyone wants to break in their new Birkenstocks walking what feels like 5 miles from parking options. Food was unimaginative, lackluster, over-priced and reminded me of typical (first class) airline food! Service was amateurish, slow and yet well paired with the uninspired and insipid menu offerings. Save your money and buy a frozen Stouffers meal it tastes the same! Also the owners have no balls to tell both tourists and locales to dress appropriately, like leave short and yoga pants, the casual retiree safari or sari looks that are appropriate for a progressive party and not an over-priced, special meal "fine"...
