Came here when I was in the area. Came for lunch specifically. I was surprised that this place was rated so highly, i was almost worried that it was finer dining than i would be allowed into, since i was wearing shorts and flip flops. however, that didn't turn out to be the case they have a fairly standard menu of a smaller cafe. i opted for the fish and chips. i was surprised at how fast the food came out. the food tasted pretty good itself, and the price i felt was reasonable overall, would come back read more

This is our favorite restaurant in town. The menu isn't flashy but the whole experience is warm and friendly and healthy, like eating well in your own house. The Big Salad? I think it's called a kale salad but we get it with romaine, and it is amazingly huge and chocked with delicious bits like house-made gravlax and polenta croutons for frankly too little money. Shrimp tempura? Awesome. The fish is always fresh and excellent, there are a ton of options for vegetarians, the pie, the Indian Pudding, the servers are smart and nice. It's just a nice, chill place to get a great meal that's good for you too, and what's better in life than that? read more

So many great vegetarian options! Vegan, gluten free, and pescatarian. Generous portions and everything is vegetable oriented rather than carb. Eg relatively small amount of rice with the meal. Great cocktails and mocktails, straws available. It's a spacious restaurant, with an accessible entrance and room to navigate easily. Pay cash for a discount. Friendly staff. read more

Wonderful service and delicious soup/sandwich combo. The homemade tartar sauce with the fried fish was perfect. It was nice to have a small salad with the fried fish. Strawberry lemonade was also a hit. read more

What a charming place -- The ambiance is calm and open, which made it easy for us to sit and talk. We order the day scallops and the salmon -- both came with a garden salad. The mustard vinaigrette was tasty. The scallops were okay -- nothing stunning but thankfully not rubbery. The salmon seemed to be enjoyed. My husband ordered a roll that arrived a bit late and was cold -- but was a reasonable cost. read more

They have really yummy dishes, good portions and vegan options! My non-vegan friend went and also enjoyed. Recommend for mixed groups!

Fantastic value. Great service in an historic building and everything on the menu is excellent. I don't live on the east coast, but whenever I visit my sister there, this place is at the top of my wish list. read more

Came here for lunch, and got their Salmon Lunch Special and fish chowder. Was welcomed in by the friendly wait staff, and given a table by the window. Food was pretty good, fish was perfectly cooked, and somehow went very well with the BBQ sauce they served it with. Recommend giving this place a try some time. read more

Paul & Elizabeth's never disappoints!! We've visited here for nearly 30 years & whenever we haven't been in a while and return, we are frustrated it took us so long to do so!! Truly delicious, healthy & creative offerings in a cozy and friendly atmosphere. Anything with fresh veggies and tofu is fantastic. Awesome soups and salads, too. Thank you for being the stronghold & dependable one in Northampton! read more

They should post on all their doors their hours of business. They have been in business long enough to know better. A one star because we planned to eat lunch there, but they were closed on Sunday. We feel we got cheated out of a possibly nice meal. read more

Traveling and needed a place to eat lunch. Good reviews brought us in. Climbing upstairs we weren't sure. Wow...we were surprised. The atmosphere was great. Open and comforting. The food was great. My wife had the broiled fish, i had the fried tempora with onion rings. We were both happy. We got a bowl of chowder to go. I had it for lunch today. A bowl filled me up. Chunks of fish potatoes it was excellent. When we get back on the road again a place to stop. read more

Menu now says "tempura-style shrimp. Not the same as in the past and the dipping sauce lacks ginger.

Staple of downtown Northampton for years! Always fresh and delicious. I love the special veggie platter which is always available. The fish and chips, their noodle dishes and salads are all great! Never had a disappointing meal. Now they have a liquor license and the cocktails are perfect. I have never had a bad experience with service or food here and have been going for over 20 years. Give it a try! read more

I first want to say how much I love Paul Elizabeths and have been going for as long as I can remember. I recently went there with a large group, and even though there was a reservation , the hostess said no nobody has come and there wasn't a reservation. I replied "OK I'll look around. Maybe they're here." I walked around the corner and there were some of the people sitting waiting for the rest of the party. So I informed the hostess of this and she seemed very annoyed. When the waitress came over, somebody asked for separate checks for simplicity as it was a large group and would be the most logical for the customer and easy for the waitress so she didn't have to keep track of multiple cards and putting X amount on one card and the amount on the other . As a fellow restaurant industry person for 40+ years. I will be the first to say, "It is kind of a pain in the ass for the waitress however with most computer systems now (and people not carrying cash) it's easily done and is one of the most common requests even with small parties. The waitress acted as if this was a huge imposition rolled her eyes and made a face...very unprofessional. Additionally, any requests or questions or changes like can I add tofu to that just seemed like impositions. She did do the individual checks like requested however when we got the bill, she added 25% gratuity to everybody's check. I realize gratuity is generally added to checks when there are large parties, however not having it posted anywhere on the menu nor having the waitress relay that when we ordered is where the problem was. We had to ask her what this charge was. It was not clear on the bill nor was it properly conveyed prior to the bill. Additionally 25% is a bit steep generally it's 18 to 20% especially with the lack of professionalism, If somebody wants to leave more, they can but dictating to somebody how much tip is not appropriate and tips are based on the quality of service the customer receives. Many people in the party were upset and will not be returning. read more

The restaurant is clean and welcoming, and very busy! My Parmesan, crusted salmon was delicious and came with rice, salad, and tea. The service was friendly and quick. The things other people eating look delicious as well. Two thumbs up. read more

Paul & Elizabeth's - Interior - Seafood Near Me - Northampton, Massachusetts

Incredibly rude hostess. They deliberately skipped over us while we were patiently waiting to get seated in order to take down the names of others instead. They told us it would be a 10 minute wait, but waited for 30 minutes and watched them seat others ahead of us, and these were people who got on their list after we did (and with the same size party). They didn't just accidentally forget us it was deliberate, they said they'd seat us soon but they just continued to ignore. We were not being rude or loud or anything like that. Waits are fine but in this situation we unfortunately felt discriminated against, unexpectedly, and so left to take our business elsewhere. Good luck if you brave this snobby place. read more

Visiting from out of town, picked this spot based on the reviews. Our server was great as were the fries and our drinks. The rest of the food was exceedingly mid. It wasn't gross, but it certainly wasn't good. read more

Friendly service and great food with some healthy choices. It's very busy and understaffed which is an issue in the summer. The staff are extremely busy doing about 4 jobs each so be patient and enjoy a lovely meal. Ravioli were absolutely amazing ! Could have eaten a dozen !! read more

Wish Paul and elizabeth delivered to Easthampton but when I go to my daughters, they deliver to Florence, which is part of Northampton sale is our wonderful. My favorite is the chop chop. The salmon is good with the teriyaki sauce. Really everything on the menu is well made and delicious yet simple and wholesome read more

Food has always been fresh and delicious. I've always received very good service and the beer is ice cold!

No seasoning at all. Very very bland. I should have known something was off when I went in and it was empty.

Traveling often from Western NY to Maine, Northampton is a good stopover and this place never fails to satisfy the hunger. The food is very generous and the staff always very friendly. read more

A great place to meet for lunch. Terrific salads and a nice ambiance. Nice dining inside Thorne's marketplace. Definitely a nice restaurant with lovely offerings. read more

Great service and the location is great. However the food is bland, great place to take your grandparents just not somewhere to go if you want a tasty meal. read more

Paul and Elizabeth's always delivers delish and healthy vegetarian and vegan food which is why we moved here 25 years ago.

NoHo classic. Fresh seasonal food, well-prepared, in large portions. Breezy seating in an upper level of Thornes. Conveniently located upstairs from Herrell's. read more

When we arrived, they did not have our reservation for us. Happens, but they are so short staffed that the tension was more palatable than the food. We had a concert to attend so we stayed (after some fussin'). The food was good, but they were so short staffed and tense that it made it difficult to enjoy anything. The salmon meal was excellent (my friend was happy with it). I will check back in again to see how things feel. I understand times are challenging. read more

It has been several years since I've visited Paul & Elizabeth's, so I was happy to get back there yesterday for lunch. The vegan/vegetarian fare is excellent here...but they also have fish dishes (and prepare those very well). We started with soups and salads - I had the fish chowder (dairy free!) and the honey miso dressing on my salad was delicious. Fresh, crispy greens and shredded carrots made for a perfect start. The cup of fish chowder was hearty - even without the dairy. Minestrone soup got a thumbs up. Salmon and cod dishes were cooked perfectly without a trace of fishiness. Brown rice was delicious and just the right texture. They're known for giant whole wheat rolls...so I ordered one of those for good measure ($1). I was hoping it would arrive warm but it didn't. It still tasted good and gave me the carb rush I was looking for. No room for dessert. Service was very nice/friendly - but we received our main lunch dishes before we could make a dent in our soups and salads. Also, when it's busy, it will get noisy. But...the food is good and prices are exceptionally reasonable. read more

Good vegetarian food, and the service was excellent. Also doesn't hurt that it's right next to a good ice cream place.

My girlfriend is the best ever so she took me on a surprise trip up to Northampton, MA to show me one of her favorite places, Magic Wings. PLEASE check that place out if you get a chance, you'll love it. So while we're up here we want to explore the town a little bit, but we have to eat right? So here we are... Atmosphere/Appearance: Set deep inside set the Thornes Marketplace is this very chill, relaxing, homey feeling restaurant. Not much to the outside since it's inside a mall, but the inside was very classy. Dark wood floors, big windows, high ceilings and contemporary chandeliers fill the huge space. It was around 2:00pm so it was fairly quiet inside. Service: Excellent. We had multiple servers that helped us out and they were all super friendly. They made excellent recommendations since I'm not exactly vegetarian (which this place is known for), but wanted a heartier dish. Our waters stayed full and we were very well cared for. Food: For my lunch I went with their Smoked Salmon Wrap which is served with field greens, cucumber, red onion, tomato, and Vermont goat cheese caper spread all in a whole wheat tortilla wrap. It was delicious. Such fresh, raw flavors and not over-salted with a ton of seasonings. Very well done. I added sweet potato fries because, why not? Value: $9.00 for my wrap! Can you believe it?! That's an awesome deal... especially in MASSACHUSETTS where everything likes to be expensive. To add the sweet potato fries was only $1.25 and was well worth it. I really enjoyed myself here for a light lunch on our mini adventure. I can certainly see myself eating her again the next time we're in the area. read more

We have gone to this restaurant every so often for the past 30+ years. The food doesn't fluctuate in quality through all this time; it is consistently delicious. I love the house dressing with tahini and the baked brown rice that comes with several dishes. read more

One of my faves in NoHo - Paul and Elizabeth's is comfortable and warm, but not fussy. The food is creative and delicious with many vegetarian and vegan options that are absolutely delicious. Service is friendly and casual. Definitely recommend! read more

Everything about this place was excellent! The service was top notch and friendly; food was delicious, healthy and wholesome; and drinks/dessert were the best.

Great establishment that we will be sure to visit again! read more

Paul & Elizabeth's - Coconut cream pie and chocolate flourless cake! Yummy! - Seafood Near Me - Northampton, Massachusetts

My small family came here for a quick lunch and we were very impressed with the ambience and our server. The food was great too- I believe they source their ingredients from local farmers which is awesome. Their fish soup is a must try on their menu. I had salmon and brown rice for main course and it was delish! read more

Food was ok it was vegetarian which was great to have a choice. However service was disgusting. Greeting when arrived very lack lustre, asked for table for two or bar told no bar but full liquor license that's not what I asked about, personally I think u get better service at the bar. Waitress was so unfriendly brought us water and asked "do u know what u want" no hello did not give her name. Never spoke when we gave our order neither when she brought the food. Took away plates and asked "do u want dessert" then she went and got the bill practically threw it on the table, I was not polite when I asked if she had a pen (I was sick of saying please and thank you by know) she said she would bring a pen when she brought it back and rolled her eyes. Did not leave a tip and will not be back read more

Very consistent. Plenty of vegetarian options. There's wine. You can have a dinner with friends without feeling like you have eaten a bunch of junk. Not overpriced. Nothing bad to say here. This place is a staple. read more

The food was really good, and there were plenty of unique vegetarian options, which was nice to see. I don't remember her name, but our waitress was very sweet, patient, and helpful. The only reason I'm giving this place a 3 star review is because while we were eating, a woman who I'm assuming was the manager kept making loud, passive aggressive comments at her staff. We were seated across the room and her comments still interrupted our meal and clearly made her staff uncomfortable. This sort of behavior ruins the mood. I'm hoping this was just an off day for her, and she doesn't always speak to the young staff this way, but I'm not sure how likely I am to support this restaurant again. read more

I got takeout and the food was excellent. We had the kale caesar salad subbed grilled salmon, the vegetable tempura app, and the vegetable risotto cakes. Everything was delicious! read more
