Wine Cafe at Northampton Wines

DOWNTOWN. This restaurant developed from Northampton's much-applauded wine shop and is a natural outgrowth of its focus on quality goods. The bright, narrow space is quiet and decidedly unpretentious, so it's a great place for a date or a low-key celebration. The menu boasts dishes like roasted pheasant, ale-braised rabbit, coriander-crusted tuna loin, and twin tournedos with basil pesto duxelles. Each dish is accompanied by suggestions for wine pairings, or you can choose a bottle from the shop and have it served with your meal. Special wine dinners are available regularly. Prixe-fixe: $98 with wine.
