First visit since they reopened after holiday break. Pretty quiet due to all the snow. Really liked some of the new items on the menu. The kale caesar was unusual but delicious. Wife absolutely loved the NY steak. Crushed olive martini and kiwi pisco also good....but that was expected.

About the restaurant
Hearsay’s modern take on American cuisine and cocktails combines with the distinct atmosphere and music of the 1930s to create a space that is warm, inviting, and unlike any other in Southern Oregon. Situated just below the beloved Oregon Cabaret Theatre and a three-minute walk from the world-renowned Oregon Shakespeare Festival.

Garden seating is based upon availability at the time of your reservation. If requested, and not available we will place you in the dining room or lounge. Please note: pets not allowed in the garden. Thank you!
