Spicy Manhattan (Satan's Brew, sweet & dry vermouth, homemade cherry simple syrup and garnished with blood orange and a stemmed cherry)
Lynn F.

I started with a Spicy Manhattan made with Satan's Brew (Deep Roots Distillery), sweet & dry vermouth, homemade cherry simple syrup and garnished with a slice of blood orange and a stemmed cherry. Delectable! I ordered a cup of cream of asparagus soup and it was beautiful too. It was garnished with three asparagus tips that had a little char on them. For my entree I ordered one of several lunch specials: rabbit, wild rice and roasted beets. Then I finished with a huge slice of warm homemade cherry pie topped with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream. Everything was perfect. I was delighted to meet Jada and Dewy. I just wish I lived closer so I could be a regular customer. Highly recommend!!!

Smoked meatball flat bread (gluten free)

The food is great! The menu is a limited menu, but they do have specials and offer up many gluten free options. The service is also great. They don't interrupt your dining and are unobtrusive, which I appreciate but are incredibly friendly. The owners are really lovely people! They kept a similar charm of the previous place but made it more casual. We were there for a local wine tasting which was also cool!

Spinach quiche and garden salad with thousand island dressing

We found a hidden gem on our way home from Northampton (better than any restaurant we've tried there!) Felt like we were in a friends home drinking delicious libations and eating great homemade food. Can't wait to go back for dinner!

cocktail garden & kitchen is a brand new restaurant and outdoor lounge. the ambiance is cute,…read morethere's an indoor bar with a couple tables and a large outdoor patio area filled with comfy chairs, couches and covered in lights. we came at 10pm on a wednesday, the kitchen was closed but we came for the drinks anyways. they do a great job with the drink presentation, using different presentations with smoke which is entertaining and pretty! their drinks look beautiful but the drinks are very watered down or sweet from the sweet heart and mezcal drinks we tried. for ~$17 each, i loved the presentation but we both didn't feel there was nearly any alcohol in them, either sugary or watery. maybe it's a method for you to order more? mezcal 2.5/10 sweet heart 3/10 although they have a great ambiance and vibe, and fun presentation, since we came for a single good drink, it was lacking. for $17 a drink, the drinks shouldn't be this weak. this is a new place so i'm sure they have some things to work out, and i would highly encourage them to just add more alcohol to their drinks and this would be an ideal place to get after dinner drinks and relax on their outdoor patio. kitchen was closed so can't speak for the food. the neighborhood is very busy and loud, so while there may be plenty of space for an intimate or group conversations, the street is pretty noisy, even on a wednesday. i do feel like they will work this out! tldr; great vibe, great presentation, good service, drinks need more work, located in busy part of city. ambiance: 4/5 food: n/a drinks: 1.4/5 service: 3.5/5 cocktail garden & kitchen: 2.9/5

Food was fine, drinks were good, but didn't have enough ice/weren't cold enough. Service was good,…read morenothing special. The vibe was a little weird. Whole experience was just okay.

My husband and I stopped in to Elizabeth's for lunch a few weeks ago and we were left more than…read moreunderwhelmed. Living in the area Elizabeth's is one of those places you consistently hear about having great food and we finally decided to check it out on an afternoon my husband was home. The first thing I will say is that their hostess is beyond rude. We were looking for their handicapped parking and we couldn't find any but there was a spot in front of the restaurant where we parked. The hostess came out of the restaurant and told us that we could not park there because it blocked the driveway, now we drive a pickup truck and would never park in a spot that would block an entrance. So we asked about handicapped parking to which she proceeded to stand up in her toes to look into the truck which of course infuriated me. Yes I have a handicapped parking tag but it was not currently displayed because we weren't in a handicap spot. We ended up moving our truck to further away and someone else parked in that spot once we left and the hostess did not ask them to move. When we walked inside it was busy and the hostess already having offended us looked at us like us walking in was an inconvenience to her and we sat at the empty bar. The bartender was at least kind even though at this point both of us felt like we were really an inconvenience to the staff and all we had done was sit down to eat. My husband had gotten take out a few times and thought I'd like it so we decided to stay. We ordered a beet salad that was a special, a stuffie and two burgers. The food took FOREVER! Like far longer than any food should take but especially a salad. We asked twice about our food. The decor is absolutely beautiful. The stuffie was ok and the salad was delicious but our burgers just weren't good at all. We both ordered our burgers medium and both received burgers well done and so greasy my stomach instantly regretted it. Funny enough when we got home our mother In law won't eat there anymore after being yelled at my the same hostess. Obviously she is the issue. We won't be back.
