Unfortunately, my buttermilk-fried chicken was served cold, and the dining room was cold as well. We had a reservation, but the "hostess" refused to let us change tables. Despite the fact that several tables were open, she seemed to regard our request as an inconvenience. It was annoying and put a damper on what should have been an enjoyable evening and dining experience. $300+ for that??? Uh...no.

When you go don't expect to be rushed and just sit and enjoy that amazing art and wonderful people. No matter if your getting chicken with rice and kale or salmon with sesame noodles it is made with love and cooked to perfection. The menu is sourced from local places and it's an absolute joy to the pallet. I can't recommend this place more. It is by far one of the best restaurants in the entire area. They have great selection of beers and mixed drinks along with non alcoholic spirits that will complement the meal. It is run by an amazing two person staff that make it feel like you are part of a community. Give this place a try and I promise you will make it a regular spot to eat.

I would recommend getting a water along with it and adding some water to it. I would definitely come back to here.

Not really. It was definitely fried, wasn't very warm, and didn't really have much of a crunch to it. It was served with a wedge of lemon and no sauce of any kind. Next time I stop in I'll try something else.

I do wish I'd have known the size of their high top as I might have chosen a different table but it was still great. Our server was very nice, I wish I remembered her name!

I started with a manhattan, they use excellent vermouth. And had the Thai salad with chicken. It was very good. I don't believe that it was napa cabbage as stated in the menu.

We headed back to the Amherst Oyster bar for a meal on Sunday night. Lately I've been leery of…read moregoing to restaurants as typically I'm the person that gets the 'bad' meal. It didn't happen this time and for this I'm eternally grateful! There were several people in our party so we started with the seafood tower. It was very good and included 1 dozen oysters (pick 2 on the oyster list), 6 shrimp cocktail, tuna tartare, crab salad, and a small cup of seaweed salad. Along with came several lemon wedges, cocktail sauce, minionette, and some crispy flatbread. I didn't try the shrimp but had some of the rest and it was all excellent. For my main I opted for the Casarecce Vongole which was similar to linguini and clams (with casarecce). I'd typically think of the ridge on casarecce as holding a heavier sauce (this was olive oil based) but what the heck right? This was served with manila clams which are a little small but they were very good. The sauce was loaded with sliced garlic, some parsley, and a little red pepper flake. The meal was very good. One of the members of our party had some dietary restrictions and the staff was very good about working with her to assemble a meal that she could eat. She really enjoyed her meal as well.

Surprisingly, we wouldn't have actually needed the reservation; the place was pretty quiet for a Saturday night. Though, the college students are all gone for summer so that might play a part in it. Nonetheless. The food was DELICIOUS. The drinks were FABULOUS. We each had a few drinks and everyone seemed to enjoy what they had. I ordered the Don't Text Your Ex and that was so yummy. I loved the dragonfruit dusting on top. Our server, Scotty, kept us fed and hydrated all night. We started with 16 oysters, tried 4 different kinds, of all sizes. I wish I remembered which we did but they were all very good. Next came the calamari with hot honey. That was eaten up pretty quickly as well! Highly recommend. Entree wise, I ordered the Seared Scallops for myself, and the other party goers had the Lobster Roll (which comes hot, not cold), the Seared Tuna, and the Casarecce Vongole. Everyone was part of the clean plate club that night. All the dishes were so good I know I keep repeating myself! The bill can get pretty pricey if you're not paying attention. We will definitely be going back!
