Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Amherst

Everything was outstanding! We arrived a few minutes early for our reservation and were seated immediately. Our server Myron took our drink order and brought us a basket of rolls before taking our orders. Our meals were well prepared and arrived in an appropriate amount of time. Myron was friendly, professional and checked on us, as well as the tables around us, frequently. Myron is a credit to your wait staff. Thank you!

Everything was delicious and the service was excellent! Can’t wait to come back for more special occasions.

We were celebrating our anniversary at Artisan., and it was a very special experience. The food was outstanding -- everything cooked to perfection. Our server, Georgia, was excellent -- attentive, personable, and always there at just the right moment. Artisan is one of those rare restaurants where the acoustics in the dining room are designed in such a way that adults can conduct a conversation in a normal tone of voice -- most welcome! West Hartford is filled with excellent restaurants, but Artisan is truly a cut above. We will be returning soon.

From the moment we were welcomed to the pleasant "seen you again soon" upon departing, everything was great. The server was pleasant and attentive without being bothersome. The flatbread dishes were tasty and cooked just right. The salad was fresh and the sandwich had just the right balance of flavorful content and bread. All were nicely presented. We are four, long-time friends who find Rail Trail the perfect venue to catch-up with one another.

The food was delicious and our chef was a lot of fun
