“My dad and I ate here last night before a show at Academy Music. Akasia was our server and we loved her. Our food was the best meal we have ever had together in all of our foodie ventures and we wish it was closer so we could go back. The steak tips were cut in house and resembled filet. The scallops were so good we got a second order. The salad was delicate but really great. My dad got the salmon and he is very picky on salmon, but it was incredible and he was delighted we made the choice to go there. I wish the oysters on the half shell were bigger, but the rest made up for it. My dad is in a wheelchair and everyone was super accommodating. Akasia was on point and knew we had a time crunch and accommodated that and also took some nice photos of us together. Great mock-tails and atmosphere was a 10. Hopefully one day soon we can make it back.“

“If you have never dined here before, you are in for a surprising treat. The Culinary Arts Department at the Smith Vocational and Agricultural High School operates a student-run restaurant three days a week, Wednesday through Friday of most weeks, from 10:45 AM to 12:30 PM. The students, under the supervision of three chef instructors, learn every aspect of food preparation and service. There is menu service on Wednesdays and Thursdays and an all you can eat buffet on most Fridays, which is currently priced at only $15.00. The menu changes weekly and is posted online. This is genuinely one of the hidden gems of the Pioneer Valley.“

“The best place and nice people“

“Whatta brunch!!! Arrived just after 11am on a Thursday. Miss Flo was busy but not packed. We took a seat at the counter and were immediately greeted by a friendly server. Pancakes plus and an OcFLOberfest (corn beef hash, sauerkraut & thousand island dressing) omelette arrived quickly. Both were HUGE and GREAT! Ilana and Amanda were fast friendly and slightly sassy servers. The hot sauce was a fun condiment. Everything was clean. Miss Flo has a warm local friendly vibe. She is a Pioneer Valley icon that lives up to her reputation. We need to eat here more than once or twice a year!“

“Great chicken Caesar wrap!“

“As a restaurant professional I say this is one of the BEST brunches I have ever been to. There are pastries, seafood, breakfasts breads, breakfast meats, egg dishes, omlets made to order, carved meats and desserts. Service was prompt and gracious.“

“We went for lunch and we were the only diners - we had a fantastic experience! There are labeled vegan options, and the staff were super helpful with answering questions. There's a great beer and wine selection, interesting cocktails, and I do believe that these were the best French fries I've ever had in my life. I look forward to going back!“

“The lovely server brought a bowl of water out to where we were sitting for our dog. We ended up moving to seats at the outdoor bar, stayed dry through a thunderstorm, and the atmosphere was great. Music wasn't too loud and you could have a conversation.

Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp up to the outdoor deck. There are two small steps up to the bathrooms, but there is a ramp to the employee entrance, so they may allow that to be used. Call to confirm bathroom accessibility if needed.“

“Everyone needs to experience Highbrow. You will not be disappointed. All meals are cooked to perfection and only the best ingredients. Menu has so many choices and fun kids meals as well. Very respectful staff and so kind.“
