This place was really spectacular. The food was impeccable, our waitress (one of husband and wife team owners) was so knowledgeable and her enthusiasm was contagious. Excellent selection of cocktails and wines. Now, this is a whole evening experience which may infuriate some Americans who are used to been hustled in and out of a restaurant but it was perfectly paced for me. Took about 3.5 hours. Don’t skip dessert！

Lovely intimate and cozy dining experience. Excellent fine dining experience, Abby was very knowledgeable about the wines and menu with excellent recommendations. We really enjoyed our appetizers (garlicy chili gulf shrimp, house made gnocchi), main entrees (grilled beef sirloin, prosciutto wrapped monkfish, house made tagliatelle), and desserts (homemade Earl Gary ice cream, incredible maple creme brûlée). We loved spending time chatting and enjoying the nice slower Ludlow spring pace (vs the bustling ski season). We will be back and thank you again for having us!

Absolutely outstanding! Abby is wonderful and we really enjoyed our conversation with her. And Rogan definitely knows how to cook – the food was so so good. It’s a lovely restaurant, a great atmosphere and I love how the two of them run their business. We had an amazing evening and would always come back 🙂

Finally was able to get a reservation! Exceeded all our expectations. The food and drinks were imaginative and so fresh. Corn soup with lobster was divine. Eggplant arancini had all the right flavors and textures.. libations were inventive and delicious. I will dream about The Jubilee for years to come. Tomato leaf pesto? Yes please! Suggested wine pairings were a great way to explore outside our comfort zone and try new and delicious varietals. Then there is the atmosphere and service. Cozy, quaint and left feeling like we had been good friends forever. Abby paints a glorious picture of every offering. 3 hours of relaxed conversation and time to savor each course. If you want fast food and service, this is not your place- for us that’s a good thing.I can’t wait to go back!! We get to eat at a lot of very nice places all over the world, but this hit special in a way few places can. Top 5 all time for me.(not great at capturing the food but trust me. Amazing!)

The atmosphere of the restaurant was superb! Abby was extremely welcoming and obviously very passionate about their menu. We really loved the homey feel of the restaurant. We started with a dozen oysters ($40), which was also the highlight of the meal. Accompanied with a lot of gifts from the chef, such as a risotto ball and fresh made hummus and pita, we left stuffed after our entree of jumbo shrimp. We didn’t know about the changing seasonal menu but the food was still delicious. A definite must try in Ludlow!

Above all expectation! I couldn’t imagine the casual fine dining with this great experience. We arrived 30 mins before close and so lucky to get the table at the bar.

Be sure to make a reservation! Visited on a Friday night with a party of 4- we made our reservation about a week in advance and got one of the last tables at 6:00. Had “the Dude” cocktail which was delicious and unique. I had the burger – very good! The wait staff was the best part of the experience. Highly knowledgeable, attentive and friendly. Definitely check them out if you can!

Like their web site says, “Casual Fine Dining”. Emphasis on Fine. Went on a Monday, buck a shuck Wellfleet oysters, fabulous! Also very good $5 rose’ wine. Tried the specialty cocktail, The Rosebud. Very good! The halibut was spectacular as well as the rib eye poivre. All food is cooked to order so it takes longer BUT is well worth the wait. If you want a quick meal with fast service go to Longhorn or Outback. If you want an authentic home cooked meal go to The Downtown Grocery.

I visited on a Friday night with my wife, brother, & sister and we had a great meal. Cocktails are unique and fresh. We only had entrees, but all were delicious (chicken, burger, special country fried deckle steak, & special lobster sauce halibut). Service was knowledgeable and friendly. White tablecloth, yet casual vibes. Overall great experience.
