Best Steak Restaurants in Amherst

The hostess and servers worked with me to make our Valentine’s dinner extra special. The place is not cheap, but the food is always great.

Buckley's is well known in our region as one of the better places to dine, especially if one seeks a good steak. We were not disappointed. I got the sugar cured strip loin and my dining partner ordered the filet mignon. Both cooked precisely as we preferred (medium well). The preliminaries (bread with olive oil, a salad for my dining partner) were tasty without being too filling. The core meal was delicious. The server (Laura) was attentive and friendly. She muffed my beer order but I am not very picky -- she ended up crediting us anyway. Two of the five dessert offerings were sold out; we settled for the blueberry crisp, and it was excellent.

Prime always delivers! Sarah, was just terrific and I'd certainly ask for her any time. It was prime rib night and both my wife and our friend had it (with huge take home portions) and raved about it. My salmon was excellent and my friend thought the haddock dish was excellent as well. He also raved about the clam chowder and we also loved the beet salad. overall, a terrific evening and we'd also highly recommend going on Wednesday night as the rest of the week is normally packed. Excellent evening for sure. Well done Prime Team!

My guest and I celebrated early for Valentines Day. Loved that Hanover has free valet parking. We engaged Matt for a few minutes which he seemed happy to do. We had a relaxing drink at the bar before going to our table. Our server Sydney was excellent. She did all she could to please us. The bread basket was delivered and had a great choices but for us the best was the flat bread. Slightly charred and crispy. We ordered the burrata app. It is an outstanding array of Italian cold cuts, toasted sliced baguettes, jam and arugula. My guest then had the special which was cod topped with lobster along with boiled potatoes and asparagus. She loved it. I had the pork chop which came just as I ordered it, medium rare. Really top notch. I substituted fries for mashed potatoes but got both anyway. The fries are thicker than I prefer but still pretty good. Highly recommend the burrata and pork chop.

We had an awesome dinner here. The chef came over and said hello. The waiter was helpful and polite. They made an awesome cedar smoked old-fashioned that was among the top 5 i've ever had.
