Best Comfort Food Restaurants in Amherst

The food and decor at The Crown is always fantastic. The noise level is an issue though. The tables are very close together, especially for parties of 2. The chairs are not very comfortable and the tables are too small in my opinion. I am a rather petite person and I feel this way, my date was much taller and also felt this way. It would be nice to have a place to hang coats since mine was on the back of my chair and touching the floor. Our waiter hyper active and seemed to have trouble modulating the volume of his voice (he was basically shouting at us). He also talked so much that my partner and I zoned out when he was talking about the specials etc. He came over constantly and it felt like he was trying to rush us out. It wasn't until I realized that they close at 8pm that I realized why. They accepted our 7pm reservation - and the place was pretty full when we arrived. The hostess was polite and prompt. The bar seems like it would be quieter and more comfortable, we will probably sit there next time. The food was outstanding. The drinks were perfect and the desserts were wonderful as well. We will be back.

Wonderful Birthday celebration experience. The quality of the food, and the attentiveness of the service was amazing.

Fantastic as always. A hidden gem nestled away in beautiful beacon hill, this neighborhood watering hole never disappoints. The mussels were fantastic, with extra bread to soak up all the goodness, as well as the strawberry salad and cookie skillet for dessert. All was great, accompanied by the friendly service that only a local Boston join could manage. Love the food, people, and experience!

it was a wonderful evening. The food, service and atmosphere was just excellent! We had a big party and the staff went above and beyond to accommodate and everyone was professional and personable and food was absolutely delicious. We have several family members who have gluten issues and majority of dishes can be made to accommodate which is amazing at an Italian restaurant. I can't say enough, it was a wonderful night had by all! Thank you, Mike's Italian Kitchen!

The food was excellent, everything we ordered was very good. If you want a cocktail off the menu they are good, otherwise stick to water. We went for brunch, ordered coffee which they had. Coffee is below average. We didn’t mind since the food was m very very good.
