Best Restaurants for Groups in Amherst

The food was very good (we really liked the burgers, steak, and steak specials). It’s a homey tavern feeling with lots of locals. Server was very nice, but it took a long time to order on a packed Friday night. Great place to treat your family/friends to an upscale tavern.

What a find! First time here ..found searching internet everything was perfect from ambiance to food to outstanding service from long time waitress Lisa. Had the Kansas Strip on recommendation from Lisa. Partner had filet mignon Sides of cream corn to die for Back potato and fixings’ perfect Took advantage of Monday special 25% bottle of Silver Oak..(if under $100 get 50% off!)

Best ever! Best of any experience this year! Salmon w special veggies… out of this world. Moose w chocolate wafer and raspberry sauce A+++. Gift shop owner’s were extraordinary! And their unique items were wonderful. Such a wonder variety!

Artisan is a favorite for delicious and fresh vegetable-rich meals. We love the Chef's monthly themed dinners and the way the kitchen aims to accommodate dietary preferences. I ordered the catch of the day over the brussels/pistachio/pesto preparation and it was perfect. There is a trend to fry the brussels until they are unrecognizable and cover them in sauce, but Artisan maintains a delicate flavored vegetable that compliments the dish. The autumn salad with blueberries, pomegranate seeds and almonds was excellent also. The main dining room is a cheerful relaxing space and the staff is welcoming and helpful.

We had a dinner reservation at the bar. We were promptly greeted by John the bartender. I had a passion fruit cosmo that was delicious. My boyfriend just had a bottled beer. He had a sirloin and baked potato that were cooked to perfection. I had steak tips and mashed potatoes. They were flavorful and filling. We told John this was our first visit so he was very helpful with the menu. We would definitely go back!
