    Homemade strawberry jam with house made sour dough bread! Yum
    Jenny W.

    The food is euphoric... it warms the soul Kind of food! The service is calm yet attentive and refreshing. I could be here all day listening to their playlist and enjoying my Bloody Mary and cafe con leche!

    Limited in their drink offerings (I believe they only serve beer and wine), but they do have some tasty food. Check the fries out- big, fluffy steak fries. Yum! They have really friendly employees and also plenty of outdoor seating (during the non-frigid days) which is especially beneficial during a global airborne pandemic. Lots of good things here: food, drinks, staff, vibes.

    I have been coming to The Dirty Truth since their opening some years ago. The food has always been a bit elevated and the drink list extensive. Prices always hovering just under "too much". I stopped in last week for a small meal with my spouse. We ordered the fries (a staple at Dirty Truth) and the Napa cabbage salad. The French fries are overly greasy and overpriced. The dip selection: house made ketchup, IPA mustard, and house made aioli are still great. The cabbage was amazing and I wish I could give that dish 5 stars. I took two stars from the rating not only because of the French fry and menu price problems. We placed a reservation for 2 at 5:30 on a Tuesday. We arrived on time, ordered and ate promptly, and were just signing the check as the host came to our table to inform us that "the next reservation for the table will be in in a half hour". I jokingly said that we would "get the heck out of there" and they responded, "great!". I've worked in the food service industry for a long, long time and I've never seen that sort of behavior regarding reservations. Some parties stay longer and spend more money. Parties get shuffled around. It happens! But to say that my husband and I overstayed our welcome after spending near 100$ and less than an hour at your little bar is RUDE. The staff has always been snooty but have never made me feel that my dollars meant less than the next table's. I won't be coming back.

    Beer brontosaurus!
    Jennifer S.

    Headed out on a whim for a late dinner and squeaked in for their last seating (9:15). Had the carnitas flatbread and a couple of hand pies. Super tasty (the hand pies are drizzled with honey, so messy when hand held) had a couple of great draft beers from the dark selection. The lacing on one made a cute little beer bronto! Definitely need to return a bit earlier for a more leisurely visit.

    This is a review solely about the bar area and drinks. We did not get any food this time. They have an amazing and extensive selection of drinks. The bartender is always sweet, professional and very attentive. I love the lighting and ambience as well. Perfect place for a late night wind down drink. There is a parking garage within a 5 minute walk and street parking as well.

The staff were genuinely welcoming, attentive without being overbearing, and clearly passionate about the food they serve. The menu highlights locally sourced ingredients and seasonal flavors, and you can taste the freshness in every bite. The dishes are thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented. Whether you're ordering seafood, steak, or one of their creative vegetarian options, the flavors are balanced and satisfying. The cocktail list is equally impressive, with well-crafted drinks that complement the menu nicely. What really sets Homestead apart is its consistency and attention to detail -- from the quality of the ingredients to the comfortable ambiance and polished service. It's the kind of place that feels special without feeling pretentious. If you're in Northampton and looking for a restaurant that blends farm-to-table quality with a welcoming atmosphere, Homestead is absolutely worth a visit.

While our table was being set up outside, we enjoyed a drink at the bar--the 15-minute wait was absolutely worth it. The outdoor setting was beautiful, with greenery creating a relaxed summer vibe and live music playing under a small tent, adding to the atmosphere. Our server was equally delightful--friendly, attentive, and spot-on with recommendations. Now, the food: outstanding. We started with the beets and peas salad, which was bursting with flavor--our plates were practically licked clean. The house arugula salad was crisp, fresh, and perfectly balanced with a light, lemony vinaigrette. For mains, we shared the roasted half chicken and the bucatini. Both were phenomenal. I rarely order chicken at restaurants since it often feels too plain, but this one was perfection--crispy skin, juicy meat, and seasoning that carried through every bite. The bucatini, made with homemade pasta and loaded with crispy pancetta, was absolutely irresistible. We couldn't resist finishing with the "Little Mason Jar" dessert, which was indulgent and delicious. Everything--from the service to the food to the ambiance--was exceptional. We'll definitely be back on our next visit to the area

I'm not sure if it was an off night, but unfortunately, it wasn't my favorite and I'm not sure I would go back. There are definitely a lot of pros, it was easy to make a reservation, we were promptly seated at a clean and quiet table once we arrived, and the service was overall pretty timely. However, the food and drink left a little bit to be desired. As vegetarians, split a pizza (the olives and mozzarella one) and the kale salad. The salad was fine, but the carrot and tomato was pretty sparse, and the kale felt like nothing had been done to it, like it hadn't been massaged or seasoned or anything so it had a very raw flavor. The pizza was super salty and felt very onenote. It felt like the sauce was a little bit salty, and then the olives, garlic, and oregano were just all very savory. At the end of the night we split a bread pudding for the table, which also wasn't my favorite - the bread was really hard and just hadn't been soaked enough in whatever the flavoring was to mask it. It's possible that they do much better with the meat dishes?

Seriously, check out this delightful little gold nugget.

When I asked about it, the server explained what happened but did not offer to remake it, remove it from the bill, or apologize, which was disappointing. That said, it was a busy Friday during Restaurant Week, so I would consider coming back and hope the service is smoother next time. While writing this review, I actually received a text from the restaurant letting me know we left our son's plate behind, which was thoughtful and appreciated.

The place was crowded but luckily a few people were leaving so we scored some seats at the bar. I ordered a glass of Nebbiolo from Italy which was good. My husband had a beer. The place is so cute and very romantic with dim lights, a great wine selection and their food looked so good. Unfortunately, we were so full that we did not end up ordering anything.

We met a local who is very nice and told us how Ombra is very popular. I think we will have to come back in the spring/summer to get those french fries :) If you are ever in Lenox definitely make your way to Ombra for a nice glass of wine or try a cocktail.
