Restaurants near Ashfield Lake

We have been take-out and dine-in customers here for many years, essentially since they first opened, and have dined at most of the major restaurants in the Amherst-Northampton area. In terms of the quality of food, service, ambience, consistency, etc., we think Johnny's is the best restaurant in this area.

The Red Lion Inn is iconic. Quintessential New England and always a joy to visit. Our lunch today did not disappoint. All tasty and well presented. The portions are modest for the price but leaves room for dessert. Apple pie, warmed Camabert and chocolate mousse were not only beautiful to look at it but mouth watering delicious. The Service was excellent! A must go to, if you’ve never been. And if you have, go back!

Another exceptional experience at The Barn. My husband's 75th birthday and his Black Russian drink was delicious. For food, we ordered a calamari appetizer, Scottish salmon, and rib-eye steak. Everything was perfectly cooked and beautifully presented, A special eggnog rice pudding was offered as a dessert option, we shared it, and it was complimentary. Service was attentive. We will be returning to The Barn--they have kept their quality and service at a high standard.

The food was delicious and our chef was a lot of fun 

Outstanding Night Out. Has several vegan options for my husband. Menu items all unique, creative and delicious. Server was genuinely and attentive. Atmosphere industrial chic, although it was a bit chilly next time...next time will dress in more layers. Actually, we enjoyed having to go two doors down to a distillery for our drinks which were AMAZING. We will definitely be back soon! Congratulations to the new owners!
