Reviews for HighBrow Wood Fired Kitchen + Bar in Northampton, MA

Consistently amazing! I had the fried shrimp scampi tonight and again, I ate the entire dish it was so good I couldn't stop!... Bread was hot and crispy but oh so soft.. just amazing! Great service & environment!! Read more

Our party had a vegan, so availability of vegan option was a big part of our decision. The food was excellent! Service was... attentive without being overbearing. Apparently, the kitchen was running behind, but we didn't notice and enjoyed sittingoutside, enjoying good company and the great music the restaurant played. We all agreed that we'll come back again to try someof the other appealing options on the menu! Read more

The food here is fantastic; but there is a lot more to a restaurant than the meal. The staff here is simply amazing. In any... establishment; service is always about vibe. What a team of excellent people living their best lives. You can feel the positiveenergy immediately when you walk in. The folks in here are happy to chat and reciprocate kindness; and give excellent service.No doubt; the layout of this restaurant must be a challenge to manage (between the patio and two layers of indoor); they pull itoff incredibly well. Always quick to fill a glass and throw a smile; our experiences here have been filled with joy. Might soundlike I'm overplaying it; but see for yourself. Shout out to Carlos and all of the folks there for giving us some of the bestdining experiences we have ever had in Noho ???? Read more

We weren't a fan of their non alcoholic drinks but the food was really good, especially the pizza.

High brow was an interesting little eatery based mostly around Italian cuisine. They had several vegetarian options. I myself... enjoyed a tofu take on buffalo wings. It was a tad warm in the current climate so we sat outside which was quite nice. The staffwas very friendly and upbeat. No complaints. Read more

This is our go-to spot for excellent thin-crust pizza. High Brow is basically a trattoria serving simple Italian-inspired fresh... food. They use quality ingredients. The vibe is comfortable, simple, attractive, not pretentious. Sometimes the toppings on thepizzas are scant; other times more generous. I do wish they would change up the menu a bit more often. As someone who eatsgluten-free because of a documented immune reaction, it would be more equitable and inclusive if people with sensitivitiesweren't forced to pay more for their pizza crust. I understand that gluten free crusts cost more but it's kind of like forcing ahandicapped person to pay more for their airfare or bus ticket. That said, we are grateful that they offer gluten free and theircrust is the best anywhere! We were disappointed with the speed of service when we dined outside in May. They let us know upfront that they were busier than usual but I feel like graduation weekends are times that restaurants should be able to planfor. If your guests are waiting over an hour for food and your staff can't keep up, maybe just don't take as many customers atone time. Read more

Good food! Very solid fare and good service. Pictured is the truffle mushroom pizza. We also got the mac and cheese, and I got... the caesar salad and a sazerac. The caesar was tasty; I felt like the romaine could have been roasted for just a little longer.The mac was really tasty but, I think, ultimately forgettable. It might have been better had we opted for the add-ons. I didn'tenjoy the sazerac very much, but it was my first one, so I couldn't say if it was personal dislike or an issue with themixing/ingredients. Finally, the pizza was phenomenal--one of the top 15 pizzas I've ever had. The only problem I have with thepizza is that the dough formula bakes up in such a way that it becomes very cracker-like and unappetizing at the edges. I've hadwood fired pizza that was good to the very last bite of crust, so it definitely is doable. Read more

Thought the food was great the service was ... confusing? The waiter, who we saw once, didn't write anything down and forgot... much of our order. The rest of the night was met with a rotating cast of waiters, the women in black, the men each in wackypatterned shirts. The vibe was rather odd and at the end of the night when the birthday cake was brought out, there was not asingle candle. The end. Read more
