Bistro 63

My wife and I brought our daughter back to UMass. Stopped in to Bistro 63 for dinner without knowing much about it. Great food with a nice bistro atmosphere served by a wonderful waitress / bartender named Tilly. Ordered the owners signature dish (Cod loin). Meal was delicious and pricing was very affordable. Highly recommend giving this place a try.
Thank you Bistro 63!

Warm service that made us feel welcome! The food was good and filling, and the portions felt perfect. I got the jerk chicken which I thoroughly enjoyed, though wasn’t the biggest fan of the rice and beans having a risotto-like consistency (tasted good though). I always get the butternut squash and apple soup to start— one of my favorites!

We ordered two rigatoni vodka with shredded chicken. The chicken were barely there, skinny strings. They weren't thick strands. In addition, we were given thick, black pieces of chicken that seemed to be leftovers, which wasn't appetizing at all. I chewed on pieces of fat.

I called ahead to make sure nothing in the meal was spicy. I was assured it wasn't yet it had a distinct spicy flavor. The sauce was thin, bland. I couldn't even detect any Rigatoni Vodka in it. There barely was any pasta, as well.

That was my 1st & last time ordering anything from this place. Our meals weren't worth the $18 per plate that I paid for.

The bartender, Phoebe, was really nice and tried her best, but the food was awful. Started with the lobster bisque, which was the only OK thing I had. Served with generic cracker in a small plastic bag, it was lukewarm. The poutine, which I usually love no matter how it is served, was very bacon heavy with some cream cheese sauce that tasted like out of a can. Finally, I ordered the cod, per the bartender's recommendation. The fish was fried in batter, served over rice or risotto in a sauce that tasted like it was a mix of barbecue and curry. I'm very sorry to say, it was inedible. I managed to eat the fish out of the batter. I had explained to the server that I was ordering a lot of food so I could take some leftovers for lunch tomorrow and to get some boxes ready. I ended up not taking anything with me, and she did not inquire why I changed my mind. It's not on her, I was just surprised that she didn't.

The service is warm, welcoming and the food is delicious, their Lobster cream or soup warmed my soul in a special way.
But their Turkey avocado hamburger will make a fest of fresh healthy flavors in your mouth.
I strongly recommend this special, unique restaurant/ Bistro at Amherst by the centric Boltwood St.

The drinks were really tasty and original! The service was alright.
The food was good. I don't know if the poutine holds up to Canadian standards but it was good, cheesy and plenty of bacon pieces. The blackened scallops were great, the side rice was tasty but very heavy. My friend ordered the risotto but we were disappointed because her rice was undercooked which is sort of ironic for a risotto.

First time here. Sat at the bar since it's usually a great experience no matter where we go. The specialty drinks knocked our socks off, unicorn blood and foxglove. Then we ordered main courses which did not disappoint! Absolutely delish. I got blackened scallops, and my partner got the chevre burger. Very different and both very tasty. If you want a very unexpected foodie treat with a laid back atmosphere and reasonable prices, this is your place.

First impression was great! Super friendly and fast service. The food was incredible, You need to try the poutine. The chicken sandwich was juicy and tender. The tiramisu was fresh and moist. All the food was plated well. In all the whole experience was great and very affordable. Thank you again to our amazing waiter Enzo!
