Best Restaurants for Groups in Amherst

Highly recommend black and blue if you are looking for an amazing dinner and atmosphere. Staff is very friendly and efficient. Sleek decor without that sterile all metal look. I would not recommend it for the little ones, not because the restaurant discourages it, but as this is a dining experience, it is not geared for children. The other customers are there to enjoy their dinner. Tonight, just as we were leaving parents brought in a little one who shreaked several times and I noticed some customers startle. For parents reading this I do indeed love children, have 5 and 9 grandkids and twin great grands. This grandmother is just giving her opinion.

Always the best experience. Jill, the hostess is amazing. Our server was great. And Jay (the owner) is always there and is always hands on.

Good food! Great that it was open on Christmas Eve. A little unorganized at first, probably due to the holiday. Food was great and our waitress kind. Would visit again

Russell's Steaks Chops & More never disappoints. My husband and I celebrated my birthday. We were greeted by Mr Salvatore, who is always so gracious. Our waiter was Humberto, who was wonderful, patient and friendly. His service, along with the staff helping in our area, was absolutely perfect. We started with wine, then the world's most delicious coffee (our cups were never empty), before moving on to our entrees. We both had Steak ala Russell, which was cooked to perfection. Had to pass on dessert because, honestly, we couldn't manage another bite, and we have enough leftovers for our Christmas dinner. Thank you Russell, Mark and Humberto for the best birthday date night. We'll be back soon.

Best wait staff I’ve had in a long, long time, time. Request the waiter Giovani for the best service ever! Also, food was excelent.
