The eggs benedict was "the worst I've ever had " ( and he is 88!) and the sandwiches the rest of us had were not great. The bacon was extremely well done and in clumps so it was difficult to even take a bite. A very disappointing meal Seating was also very uncomfortable

The beer selection is the best I've ever seen in terms of quality breweries. Hill Farmstead is on the menu today (four different ones!) and there are so many others! The wine selection is ok. This is a beer place in my view. Food options are limited and all excellent. Some dishes can be made vegan if that's your preference but there's something for everyone and the quality is spot on. Tonight I had a tofu sandwich that was excellent another person had a kale salad and raved about it. There's something to be said for a place that limits itself to things it does perfectly and The Dirty Truth seems to be that kind of place. It also focuses on beer and food that are interesting and of the highest possible quality. IT's affordable and unpretentious and very comfortable for large and small groups alike. I think I'm coming here on every trip to Northampton. It's that good! See for yourself!

And it was all so incredibly delicious. Props to the chef, hands down. I opted for the high tops when making the 8:00P reservation and it was still busy at that time which was great for them. 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! The food again, was so delicious. I think my favorite dishes were the grilled miso scallops and definitely the bananas foster crème brûlée.

We got there around 1:40 p.m. and they closed at 2, so my friend was a little worried, but we were still welcomed and the staff was very friendly. It's a small place, but I actually liked that it felt cozy. We ordered 12 oysters, two orders of gumbo, a kale Caesar salad, the catfish special to split, and a bourbon-based drink. The oysters were $2 each, which I thought was a pretty good deal. The gumbo was really, really good. It came out a little lukewarm, but the flavor was absolutely there 10/10. The oysters were fresh and also 10/10. The bourbon drink was another standout. The presentation was beautiful, the little flower was such a nice touch, and it tasted just as good as it looked. The kale Caesar was where things dipped a little. It was pretty dry, so we asked for extra dressing, but the dressing didn't really add much flavor. When our waitress checked in, we were honest and said it just wasn't our favorite. I hate sending food back or complaining. I'll usually just stop eating it but she was so kind and apologetic. What really stood out was how they handled it. They told us they were taking the salad off the bill, which they absolutely did not have to do. We had planned to just take the one we had already eaten from home and fix it ourselves, but one of the staff members made us a completely new salad to go. She even massaged the kale so it was actually tender and enjoyable. That was such a thoughtful touch. The catfish was a hit for my friend. It wasn't my favorite, but I still ate it. Overall, I would definitely come back. Next time I'd probably keep it simple; oysters, gumbo, and a drink and I'd be happy. The service was phenomenal, and honestly, service really makes a place. Feeling welcomed and comfortable matters, and this place absolutely gave that.

Pretty cute hole in the wall retro bar…read more They do a LOT of cute/cool event nights, Mini Hot Dog night, Hello Kitty night, Bob's Burgers night, Rocky Horror trivia...you name it. The night we finally went was for Zelda night. Knowing my boyfriend, we all know he mah be the biggest Zelda fan in western Massachusetts so obviously we had to go! They had one tabletop Zelda game in the facility, it would have been nice to have a few of them so more of us could play/immerse in the Zelda night. They also had Mario playing on the walls which threw me off a bit. There were free stickers all over the bar along with some "rupees" which was a cute touch. It was pretty easy to order the drinks and food, and the staff behind the counter were all very nice. We tried 2/3 drinks and enjoyed both of them. Two food options were made, Hearty Monster Rice Balls, and Meat Pies. The rice balls were honestly pretty good, nothing fancy but good. The Meat Pies filling was good, but the entirety of it was pretty greasy and oily which was a little disappointing. I do hope they do another Zelda night and offer more food options. If they do that, we will definitely go again!

Thanksgiving buffet at Hotel Northampton, a quintessential, New England Thanksgiving. Done right…read moreas someone who has worked away through more Thanksgiving prix fixe menus and buffets I care to admit I can say with confidence that hotel Northampton delivered one of the most well executed holiday spreads I've experienced in Western Massachusetts. From the moment I stepped inside that historic lobby beautifully decorated for the season, warm, inviting and buzzing with celebratory energy, I knew I was in good hands. The staff had that polished anticipatory service style that instantly sets the tone for a seamless dining experience. The Thanksgiving buffet was thoughtfully, curated, and impeccably maintained throughout the seating. The carve of turkey was exceptionally moist, no small fete on a buffet line and the stuffing and mashed potatoes struck that perfect balance between upscale and comfort, familiar seasonal size or vibrant, fresh and clearly prepared with intention rather than filler. Special shout out to the carving station team who prepared a wonderful prime rib roast - they were not only efficient, but genuinely personable, the kind of hospitality that elevates a meal from good commemorable desserts, the pumpkin pie with a silky custard with just the right spice and the pecan pie was rich without being cloy. I may or may not have sampled more than one plate in the name of research. Service was consistently attentive without hovering. Plates were cleared promptly and check-in is perfectly timed. You can tell this team knows how to handle high volume holiday service while keeping the guest experience front and center. Hotel Northampton nails a classic New England Holiday vibe with elevated execution, relaxed, delicious beautifully organized Thanksgiving. I'd absolutely return next year and recommend it to anyone looking to celebrate without compromise.

When we complained to the cashier and the manager of the $59.95 charge for the buffet, neither one would reduce the buffet charge to the advertised $34.95 price. They are lying bandits!
