Best Date Night Restaurants in Amherst

Excellent food and drink. Small but very well curated list of wines by the glass. Great cocktails. Food is consistently prepared with high-quality ingredients and cooked with expertise and care. Atmosphere is lively/energetic but still quiet enough that two middle-age people can easily hear one another talk without shouting. :-) A great evening out.

Super fun girls' night out. Loved the vibe. Food and service were both excellent. Music and conversation are noisy so be prepared. Will come again!

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.

This was our first time dining at Terra where he had been meaning to go for a long time but just kept puuting off. I can safely tell you that we will definitely not be putting off out going back. THe experience was totally beyond our many forrays to Eataly that we always enjoy. The decor is rustic, tasteful, relaxing, and comforting Service was above and beyond. Cocktails were innovative and delicious. The star attaction, of course, was the cuisine that proved to be far above our expectations. Anything open fire grilled from the large open pit is not to be missed - flavorful, juicy, and cooked to perfection. The dishes all with freshly made pasta were like bites of heaven with velvety and luscious sauces. The surprise of the evening was definitely the Tiramisu that was unlike any that we had every eaten anywhere and with plenty of delicious masacarpone. Cappucinos were also excellent. We did not want to leave but had a concert to go to, but we will definitely be back very soon.
