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

We love welcoming everyone but our indoor capacity is limited to 30 guests. From mid-May through November 2, weather permitting, we can accommodate an additional 20 guests outdoors. We recommend booking early to secure your preferred time, especially in the peak season (at least one month for parties 8+ and two weeks for smaller parties), and we appreciate your flexibility if your first choice is unavailable. We are happy to take walk ins whenever we can, but suggest calling ahead.

Our kitchen is capable, but small. During peak season plan to dine for 60 minutes and up to 90 minutes for parties of 2 to 4, and up to 2 .5 hours for larger parties 5+.

Once Upon a Table located in a historic building. While we do our best to be accessible, our only restrooms are up a short flight of 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.

THE OWNER

A long-time waitress at Once Upon a Table purchased the restaurant from its original owners at the end of 2021. After a brief closure for updates, Once Upon a Table reopened in April of 2022. The new owner revamped and refreshed the menu highlighting

local organic farmers, producers and small businesses.
