Best Date Night Restaurants in Amherst

Everything was so great! This was my first time here and I was super impressed with the service and the food. Highly recommend

First time dining at this restaurant. Arrived early and was seated immediately on a very busy evening. Hostess was beyond friendly and pleasant. Difficult to see the menu based on lighting. Was brought an adjustable table lamp. That was an amazing first anywhere. Our server, Victoria, had a top notch command of the entire menu easily answering questions and making relevant recommendations. Amazingly professional and friendly young woman. Food was outstanding from cocktails, to apps, to entrees, to desserts. Everything perfectly prepared and brought to the table at the proper temperature. Lovely presentations. Service was impeccable throughout. Menu is pricey, but you absolutely get what you pay for. I will definitely recommend to others and return again.

At 630 pm Via open table arranged 715 time,, called by hostess heads-up running late asked about possible accepting later time which was fine with us, glad we arrived at 8 and hostess very accommodating; offered us table in dining room or the lounge which was quieter with college football on with volume off and fireplaces warm. Waiter and hostess very attentive; we split fig pizza slightly sweet and perfectly made, and seafood with risotto which had abundant well cooked seafood and of course perfect risotto. Negronis were excellent and reasonably priced. We had a pleasant evening of conversation, food, football and great service. Great place to eat.

I confimred my reservation with Open Table, received a confimration however the Oak Stave did not have my reservation.

The server forgot to submit my husband’s dinner order, so he had to wait for his meal while the rest of us ate. However, she gave us a $10 gift card before we left.
