Have been to Ajace 3 times with my friend. Have enjoyed each time immensely. Food and service are amazing! First time we split the Benedict and Onion Tart. Benedict has a pork loin instead of Canadian Bacon and it was really good. Spicy mimosas were delightful! Second time my friend had their Chick'n & Waffle and she said both the chicken and the waffles were amazing. She absolutely loved the maple/bourbon syrup. I had the the b.l.t.a. and fries. The fries were best I ever had. We also enjoyed the jalapeno watermelon Margaritas. So refreshing! Third time we again split the grilled cheese sandwich, and we were lucky enough to be there when they had fresh baked jalapeno bread which was amazing and really added something very special to the grilled cheese with the caramelized onions and bacon tomato jam. Plus we each had a cup of their tomato soup which was totally amazing. Unfortunately, I do not know the name of our wait person who we've had all 3 times, but he always remembers us, knows I love spicy, and has always been great, but he recommended a bottle of Chianti type wine that was smooth and lovely, and it was local, which I love. My friend took a bottle home for her Valentine party! We've never been disappointed with the food or service at Ajace!

Food was average for selection and taste, service was slow (1 staff for 4 tables) Ambiance was nice but odd with the restaurant mixed in with the gift shop.

Good food and service but not great. Coffee was in small cups and refills took a long time. Waitress disappeared for long periods of time but she was friendly. Atmosphere was very nice! Restaurant was in River rock shop at Hellgate boat tours.

First time for us.Service was extremely slow (we were the only ones there) but the food was very good and reasonably priced. I got an omelet and my wife got the GF deep fried little smokies.Dietary restrictions: Some GF options.

Here's an update on Ajace, my second time there. The first time, last month, was wonderful. Not only was the food super great, but service from Josh, the manager, was equally wonderful. He saw to our needs but wasn't hovering in any way. VERY deserving of the five star review. :) Forward to today. We were the only customers, and Josh wasn't there when we arrived. Instead, two folks who weren't there last time were manning the counter area, and both were way more focused on stuff behind the counter than on us -- just a few feet away and again, the only customers in the place. I will give props to one who tried to get my Internet working -- no luck, but he did try. Anyway, despite being so close to the counter, I had to go up to the counter and let the folks there know that we were ready to order. They were busy talking so I had to talk loud. Josh did arrive later, but by then, we were finished eating. He did remember me. Also... the hot water for my tea wasn't lukewarm, but it wasn't hot either. My salad was wonderful, though. My friend had onion soup (which she declared as just okay) and a grilled cheese sandwich, which she said was very good. But thanks to the service, she doesn't want to go back again. Given that we were the only customers in the place, I understand. I will try one more time with another friend. Let's see what happens. Maybe Josh will be there. I really want this restaurant to succeed, but the service needs to be way more welcoming to its guests.

We we’re excited to get chicken and waffles there, but the 3 of us left disappointed. We had been there 10 times before in May/ June and loved it, but went 2 weeks ago and discovered that the food was over-cooked and dry. It’s not cheap there, so we mentioned it to the server when she asked. The server was very apologetic, and we asked if there was a new chef. She confirmed there was. It’s too bad. Chef Curtis put together a great menu there and it seems they can’t get others to execute on it. Won’t be back, do not recommend.

Just enjoyed a delicious brunch at Ajace with my girlfriend/neighbor. We both ordered the beef tenderloin hash and we were not disappointed. There were three decent sized pieces of filet atop potatoes, onions, mushrooms and bell peppers. On top of this was a fried egg and hollandaise sauce. Neither of us had any complaints about taste/portion size or presentation. It was great. Before the main act we shared a large lemon bar because we were craving something sweet to go with the excellent coffee. This was my second visit, and today's meal was as good as the cheeseburger I had last time. Which for those of you who look for good burgers - Ajace has one! Server was friendly and atmosphere is nice with the bubbling brook and Shop at River Rock staged for Christmas. Ajace is a welcome addition to the Grants Pass food scene.
My wife and I came here for brunch for the 2nd time. We haven’t had any dish miss.. today was the Argentinean Benedict and the Thai tea chicken and waffles, as well as some truffle fries for our son. It was all amazing. For drinks the maple old fashioned was awesome.

Really yummy stop, had to try the bacon smokey blue fries, gluten free! Very generous portion, thick-cut bacon, and rogue creamery cheese ? Waitress was very nice as well, would love to try more of the other menu options!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free dedicated fryer, definitely safe for celiac. Lots of options as well!
