    My friend and I had a great experience at Season to Taste! We had never dined there, and enjoyed every bite. We split two snacks and two appetizers, and each got two drinks and a dessert and were completely satisfied and thought it was a great value for the quality and how full we left. I think my favorite bite was the crab and pea “crème brûlée.” We sat at the bar, and we regret not catching the bartender’s name. He was attentive, friendly, and very funny to chat with. I will definitely be going back!

    This was a reasonably nice dinner up at the bar. The poke was very good. We were a bit dissapointed the asparagus salad had so little asparagus in it and the mushroom pasta was so so.

    We enjoyed a phenomenal dinner at The Table at Season to Taste, trying the Chef's Kitchen Counter tasting menu for the first time. It was a beautifully curated array of dishes, which we enjoyed with delicious wine pairings. The chef, Robert Harris, was warm and welcoming, describing the preparation and key ingredients for each dish, and spotlighting local ingredients that The Table attentively sources. It was really neat to have a front row seat to the team, as they carefully crafted each dish. The staff were especially attentive to food allergies and provided excellent alternatives that fit in harmoniously with the tasting menu. Each dish was beautifully executed, offering inventive reimaginings of the familiar, and fresh new dishes that made local ingredients sing. Highly recommend a visit for an exceptional dining experience.

    Food that is delicious as well as innovative. Yummy seasonal asparagus from Hadley, MA. Noise levels (0n a rainy, chilly mid-week night) were low. Attentive server. A very tasty meal!

    Sat at the bar. Great experience. Food was creative and delicious. Thyme chive biscuit with pimento butter and sweet house made pickles all excellent. Asparagus salad was excellent. Standout dishes were the Nettle gnocchi and the lamb chops. Phenomenal! Our server/bartender also made our night wonderful. Very knowledgeable, great reccos and an absolute pleasure to converse with amidst being very, very busy. Great evening!

    TERRY FROM GIULIA IS BACK!!! What a wonderful surprise when we sat down at the bar. Like old home day. What a wonderful meal and hospitality experience. Can't wait to go back!
    Season To TasteResponded on May 17, 2025
    Hello Benjamin, Thanks so much for your kind words. I was a regular at Giulia back before Covid and a huge fan of Terry. You can imagine how delighted I was when he applied for the open bartender position, and even more thrilled when he agreed to take the job! We look forward to hosting you at the bar and we are so excited to have Terry on the team. Robert Harris Chef/owner
