For a special occasion in a college town, it might be difficult to find that special place. Not in Amherst. This is truely a gem. The ambiance is lovely with just the right amount of lighting and candles on the tables. And the food...wow. My personal favorite is the risotto. Often times the texture is mushy, but here is is perfect. While this is a slightly pricey choice, it is well worth it. The portions are generous and the quality is amazing. They have a full wine list and bar. And don't forget to leave room for dessert. The creme brule is a masterpiece.
