While in Amherst visiting my nephew at a nearby university, he asked to go out to a "nice" dinner…read more I looked at places in the area and decided to drive by the Inn on Boltwood. The exterior captures the New England charm you'd expect. Parking was easy, on-street, and signage easily led us from the entrance of the inn to the restaurant. We were seated in the bar area where you could hear the bartender making conversation with everyone who sat there, while simultaneously making drinks for servers to run to their tables. Both of us felt like having steak, so when our menus were presented, we went straight for it! My nephew had the steak frites, which also came with green beans, and I had the filet mignon, accompanied by mashed potatoes and green beans. The bread basket was generous and the fresh whipped butter divine. Both steaks were cooked as ordered and the quality exceeded the pricepoint for our meals. For dessert, my nephew ordered ice cream and I opted for the affogato. Generous portions for both. Overall, this is a place to try either when looking for an evening out, a special occasion, or just because you feel like to enjoying the comfort of a New England Inn with the culinary options of city chef. Definitely recommend!

Hubs and I picked Bistro 63 in Amherst, MA to celebrate my daughter's state powerlifting win…read moreearlier that day. Honestly it was a solid choice. It was actually the first place that popped up on Yelp when I searched for dinner spots and I'm glad we rolled with it. Hubs made a quick Sat. afternoon res, but we really didn't even need one since it wasn't crowded. The menu has plenty of pescatarian and vegetarian options- plus red meat, chicken and pork. Service was friendly. We hit one slight hiccup when my daughter's neighbor (who we invited along) ordered the chicken risotto from the menu and ordered it without red peppers- but ended up sending it back because it came with. The rest of our meals totally made up for it. Hubs was happy with his skirt steak, my daughter enjoyed the roasted salmon with risotto and my seafood risotto? Tasty- and these folks aren't even Italian. The only real miss was the cocktails. Hubs' and mine both sounded amazing on the menu, but they were weak. Still, prices are reasonable, the vibe was nice, portions are big and it ended up being a great spot to celebrate my daughter's special win.

Food was excellent! Went with NE clam chowder and Korean fried chicken special. I'd go back!!!read more

Our server was friendly and pleasant throughout the meal. Unfortunately, the dining experience fell short in a few areas. We waited about 45 minutes for our food, even though our order was fairly simple--a salad with salmon and an omelet. When our silverware arrived, it was greasy and had to be sent back. The biggest disappointment was the salmon, which was significantly overcooked and very chewy. The salmon was okay once doused in dressing. The omelet was underwhelming. After tip brunch was around $70. Given the beautiful setting and friendly service, I had high expectations. I'm hoping this was just an off day, as the restaurant certainly has a lot of potential.

The bartenders (I wish I caught their names) were excellent and the drink menu was extremely diverse. Loved the cocktails and the vibes. The menu was outstanding, and the flavors were spot on.

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.

But we found it interesting that the bill was given to us as were given our food.

I don't even like au jus, but it was so good, I would've been happy just to drink it. Who doesn't even smile at a compliment like that? Especially as I later found out she was one of the owners. She should have been over the moon. I'd say it wasn't technically a bad experience, but it also wasn't a good one. Also, it was right at the end of their first open mic and we knew the host personally. You'd think after seeing we knew their entertainment, she could have, at the very least, faked a smile. Kind of her loss as I'm a DJ and could have easily boosted their clientele, but I'm not going to recommend a place that makes it seem like it's a chore to wait on you. Even though she didn't know that, as someone who has also been in the restaurant industry for a large portion of my life, the very first rule of customer service is to make them feel wanted, no matter how you're feeling, and smiling at them is the easiest way to do it. Even if you're only doing it for the tips, being nice to people is one of the easiest things you can do. And being nice to others, will almost always make you feel good in return. It's a win win. As for the ambience, top notch. It's a very comfortable and relaxed atmosphere and it's not crowded like a lot of other restaurants (meaning the tables are properly spaced and you're not on top of other customers)
