Best Casual Restaurants in Amherst

Beautiful winery, awesome food and service. Loved it!!

Stella Blu was very nice. We were a party of 5 people who hadn't been together in a while, so we were the noise! We had a great table in the back and our server was wonderfully attentive. The food was great and we loved being able to order as we went. The cocktails were also very well done.

Went tonight for our anniversary and was only disappointed by my inability to find room to eat more of everything. To start with, the bussers and runners were very prompt, professional and good mannered. Our waitress, Erica N, was great and very attentive despite having a heavier than usual load due to last minute staff shortage. She was funny, friendly and efficient at all times. For the food, we started with warm bread and dipping oil, both of which were perfect. We had the sweet potato bisque which was served with bacon bits and maple syrup. The portion was large but we somehow couldn’t stop eating it! We then shared a Caesar salad which was served with shaved Parmesan and could have been shared at least a 3rd time, but again we almost finished that. My wife chose the petite filet which was served with a red wine Demi glaze reduction. I chose the beef stroganoff with a side of Parmesan encrusted creamed spinach. Another large portion of a very savory beef stroganoff topped with a dollop of sour cream. This was even better than I had hoped with large chunks of tender beef, long wide noodles and lots of gravy. The spinach was served in a small crock that was piping hot with browned grated Parmesan covering the top. Also a delicious addition. We finished by sharing a piece of the Flourless chocolate cake. Well worth the extra calories! We brought home a lot to be enjoyed again!

This may have been the best Italian dinner I have had in a very long time.

We had a reservation, we were promptly seated. Our server, Laura, introduced herself and took my drink order. My Husband loves differnt beers. She was sure to make sugestions and even offered him a sample. When it came to ordering dinner she was very patient with us letting us take our time enjoying our drinks and our appetizer. The jalopeno poppers are soooo good. I wanted to order the Sea Food Casserole, which was a special for the night. Unfortunely, it had been sold out. Laura helped both me and my husband pick out our meals. Sorry no pictures. Both were delious. Thier steaks are all amazing !
