Food 101 Bar & Bistro

We recently had a retirement party at Food 101. What a success! It was a cocktail party with the most delicious appetizers! The staff was accommodating and friendly. The restaurant is very quiet and elegant. Love it and will return as a favorite place to eat soon.

Very nice staff, but food was below average. I think they are trying to be French Bistro, but the food is very under par even for Western Mass.

If you are going for a night cap. It is a nice place . If you are going for great food, there are many other options.

Uncomfortable at 1st, the waitress & bartender were making gestures of how they would close in 1.5 hours (which we were in & out in 40 mins.) Besides that server was nice & the food was very good! Nice dining! Would highly recommend!

Very overpriced and quantity of food is underwhelming. Loud and very cramped.

The new expanded menu is exceptional.
My husband ordered the pork tenderloin, and I had the lamb. Both were delicious.
We also had the swordfish with risotto, the last time we had dinner there. Great service,fabulous food.

Always a high quality and consistent option for dinner, but this review is for their new brunch offering. Highly recommend! The food is as good as their dinners and absolutely delicious. The brioche French toast with fruit compote was amazing, as was the breakfast sandwich with greens and potatoes. Nice drink list, too. Reasonably priced for an elevated brunch experience.

I enjoyed warm and delicious food for the first time in a while♬ I think it would suit Japanese people in terms of taste and quantity.

Our waitress was excellent as was the food. It was great to see the restaurant was full or nearly so, but that meant it was a bit noisy. Overall an excellent experience.

The worst atmosphere, there is zero noise attenuate in place...you can't barely hear the person sitting next to you. That is to say, the acoustics are horrible. The service was miserable, more than an hour wait for our meals. The food was good but not worth the wait. There is no reason to visit this restaurant.

Last place I’ll ever consider going to. Stephanie the bar tender should be a little more friendly, or get a new job if she doesn’t enjoy what she does.

Amazing food and Service one of my favorite places to go!!

New to the area, I decided to make a reservation for my husband's birthday dinner there. The food was absolutely delicious! We can't wait to go back!

This might have been one of the rudest experiences of my life. My family and I walked into Food 101 around 845 last night, and were promptly told to leave when we looked for seats. The bartender, who was sitting at the bar mind you, informed us that they had had apparently closed at 8:30… Despite there being customers inside with fresh drinks and food, and the sign on the door, saying Open until 9 PM.When I looked online, the business hours showed that they were open until 10. So I called back just to make sure, and was informed by the same rude bartender, that they, “can’t change Google”.If you’re looking for a small dark bar with an ego, and terrible service… This is the place for you.

Food 101 is our "go to" for awesome meals; last weekend Al Anischik and his team went above and beyond for our family. We hosted an 80th birthday celebration on a Sunday night, when we had the restaurant to ourselves! Service, food, setting - all was perfect! I HIGHLY recommend Food 101 any time - and especially if you're looking for an amazing location for a private party! Thanks Food 101!
