The Best Restaurants Near Smith, Amherst, Mount Holyoke, and Hampshire | Eater

"With an unfussy menu of creative snacks and bountiful, family-style plates built around the natural wine, beer, and cocktail program, this lakeside slice of paradise is quickly becoming a pillar in the Pioneer Valley community. The team supports a number of local farmers and relies on their own kitchen garden for much of the menu’s building blocks. Expect a rotation of dishes that make the most of peak-season ingredients, like autumn veggie melts with Bardwell Farm broccolini, sauteed kale, chicken of the woods mushrooms, and smoked cheddar, or prawns with roasted fennel, Israeli couscous, garlicky haricots verts, and Sungolds." - Nat Belkov
