Well executed appetizers, entrees and salads...wines by the glass, all in an elegant but simple setting...mussels in a light tomato broth with a hint of sea salt completed a crisp chardonay and branzino atop a mound of fresh spinach with leeks in a savory/ sweet light broth accompanying a dry pinot grigio was a special treat...service was professional and not...

Really enjoyed this place. Ate the rabbit with polenta which was delicious. Nice atmosphere and not too pricey. Right on Main St! More

My wife and I have eaten here multiple times & I must say that this place is truly one of the hidden gems in Beacon. The food is fresh and well prepared. Staff is professional and friendly. You can't go wrong with ordering any fish/pasta combination. More

We had an excellent late dinner at Cafe Amarcord. We ate here after we attended the Jack O Lantern Blaze upon recommendation from Mr. Yuan Lee, owner of the Chrystie House. I'm puzzled by this restaurant's 5th place status, since we had a great meal! I had a special - NY strip steak with grilled asparagus and horseradish mashed potatoes.... More

I’d agree with Café Amarcord being described as a chic restaurant for Beacon. Very romantic – Tuscan, Italian feel. We’ve dined here several times, and been very satisfied each time. A seasonal menu changes based on availability. We've enjoyed lamb, gnocchi, potato leak soup, variety of salads and desserts (in fact we've gone for just cappuccino and dessert as well)... More

We have been trying to like Amarcord for almost two years - the menu is satisfactory with some dishes that look downright interesting, but the kitchen almost always has difficulty timing a meal, and in some cases, preparing entrees to requested doneness. There always seems to be some kind of mistake. During a recent weekday dinner, sides of roast potatoes... More

This is probably the best restuarant in Beacon. The food was pretty good and the service good as well. More

Nice atmosphere. Very good staff from reservations to waiter and bartenders. The food has a high level of quality and execution. Nice menu selections made with very fresh ingredients. The large parking lot is a plus. Had dinner and would go again. More

Café Amarcord is a chic restaurant (for Beacon) right on Main Street. The décor and atmosphere was very romantic. Our meal was delicious to say the lease. My boyfriend ordered the filet mignon and I had order envy. The steak was much larger than you get from other restaurants (especially for $28) and the potato frits were cooked in truffle... More
