THE RESTAURANT

When you dine at Once Upon a Table, you’ll not only enjoy a delicious meal prepared with ingredients at the peak of freshness, you’ll also be supporting the local farmers and small business owners we purchase from. 

 

Once Upon a Table builds our menu based on the seasonal ingredients that are available from our local suppliers. This means the menu changes often, and we only prepare a select number of dishes each day.

​

We do our utmost to provide all of our guests with a meal they’ll enjoy–no matter their dietary restrictions, allergies, or preferences.

ABOUT YOUR VISIT

Our kitchen is capable, but small, so we set aside a minimum of 2 hours for all reservations; longer for parties of 6 or more.

​

We don't like to turn people away, so reservations are strongly recommended—especially in busy summer months!

​

Once Upon a Table located in a historic building. While we do our best to be accessible, our only restrooms are up a set of winding stairs with railings for support.

EVENTS & LARGE PARTIES

For reservations of 6+ people, please call us at 413-298-3870. Due to our size, we can rarely fit more than one party of this size at a time, so we recommend calling at least 2 weeks in advance. At this time, we are unable to split checks between more than 4 cards; please plan accordingly.

​

For parties of 10 or more we typically offer a customized prix-fixe menu, starting with soup or salad, followed by your selected entrée, and concluding with a dessert selection from  our chef. Your guests may order coffee, tea, and additional starters a la carte. As always, please inform us if anyone in your party has food allergies or dietary restrictions.

​

We also host private parties of up to 30 people. The whole restaurant can be yours for a two hour block during certain hours (partial rental) or for the entire evening (full rental). Complete our private party inquiry form to get started.

A long-time waitress at Once Upon a Table, Avie Maloney purchased the restaurant from its original owners at the end of 2021. After a brief closure for updates, Avie reopened Once Upon a Table in April of 2022 with a refreshed look and close relationships with local organic farmers, producers and small businesses.
