Best American Restaurants in Eagle Point

It’d been several years since we drove down from Roseburg to see a play for a special occasion and discovered Decant—one of the few nice restaurants that offered late night food. What a find! Last year, we moved to the area in part because of the caliber and selection of fine dining options. Our recent visit was for my birthday, which we usually celebrate with a Chef’s Meal. Hostess Lily happily sat us extra early and her gracious welcome set the stage for the caliber of attentive service we enjoyed throughout our meal from our server and sommelier. Our visit had virtually all the trappings of the Chef’s Meals to which we’ve become accustomed, only with larger portioned entrees. Ordering multiple Appetizers, Shareables, and Desserts (in addition to an entree each) allowed us to avoid deciding and taste several delectable options that bridged my husband’s carnivore cravings and my lean towards seafood. Tropical cocktails helped whet our appetite as we perused the just-right-size menu. The Lamb Meatballs, Morels, Grilled Shrimp and Ahi did not disappoint. Flavorful sauces, savory Focaccia, and a young, jammy Willamette Valley Pinot from Beaux Frères balanced the surf and turf on our plates. Halibut and Filet Mignon… superb. Enough said. Somehow we had room to try three desserts, some espresso and a wonderful Cognac. The rich Chocolate Mousse was an absolute favorite, the Mango Passionfruit Panna Cota was light and creamy, and the elevated Buttermilk Pie was surprisingly satisfying. It is worth noting that the restaurant filled up quite quickly with two larger parties of 6 nearby shortly after we were seated at 5:30. By the time we left about 7:30, nearly all the rest of the smaller 2- and 4-tops up front were filled. For a random weekday summer evening, that speaks to this restaurant’s success. Next time, we will shoot for the last available time slot for (hopefully) a slightly lower dining volume. Overall: Fabulous. We will definitely return. Soon.

Delicious dinner in a beautiful setting. Service and ambience were great.

We have visited the rivers edge on many occasions of the year last night was special. It was our 41st anniversary. Food was amazing. The cocktails are good and our waitress Aiden is amazing my

Great ambiance and food. Jazz piano music was nice but a little loud for the room. Wonderful service !

Outstanding in every way! Very friendly family run! We had halibut and duck confit. Very best we’ve ever eaten. We can’t wait to return!
