Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Northampton

Great food and great service. A nice way to start off the holiday week!

Our family had a special dinner on a Saturday, enjoying something from every part of the menu (signature cocktails and mocktails; appetizers, entrees and desserts). Flavor galore. Our server, Lincoln, was attentive, made great suggestions and helped make it a perfect evening. The night was made extra special when a young couple a few tables away got engaged to the applause of all. In the car ride back to our house, the five of us each sang the praises of Millwrights. Top Shelf evening.

Johnny's was excellent as always. Our server (Daphne) did a great job and is very personable and genuinely friendly. The food was great as were the drinks. Bartenders do a great job. The staff works very hard as the restaurant is very busy and they need to keep up which they do very professionally. Excellent experience as always.

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.
