If you feel like getting a little dressed up and going out to dinner, then the Sierra Grille in Northampton is the perfect place to eat. I went there on Saturday night for a nice dinner with my family and the atmosphere was perfect. The
waitstaff was very friendly and attentive, and the food was delicious.
We started off with some appetizers: wings, bread and crackers with some tasty hummus, and some french fries. Each a little different, but perfect for the various cravings my family had that night.
Moving on to the main course. You have the option to choose a protein - which could be duck, steak, filet mignon, salmon, pork, shrimp, tuna, chicken or the vegetable option, tempeh - and add a sauce, either hot or cold, with a list of the options such as a cold citrus salsa topping, or a thai hot basil coconut sauce. After you choose the basics, you can choose two side dishes which can range from "smashed" potatoes, as they refer to them, grilled asparagus, or Belgian fries.
For my main course, I chose chicken with a Mediterranean sauce,
which has tomatoes, feta cheese, Kalamata olives, roasted garlic, and basil. A side of Asian style green beans, which were deliciously stir-fried in peanut oil with sesame and ginger, and some Belgian french fries, completed my meal. The prices for some of the entrées may be a little above the typical budget of a college student, but for a nice night out they aren't unreasonable.
Next time you're in the area and looking for a classier night, check out the Sierra Grille!
