I stumbled across this place on the long drive home after hiking the Mohawk State Trail, it was definitely off the main road but it is the definition of a hidden gem. The food was fresh and delicious, but the view was definitely a highlight of this visit. We ate right over a waterfall with the sound of water complimenting our whole meal. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone driving through.

Good food, great view, lacking in any A/C. Even the ceiling fans are not in use, on today's 90° weather. Some of my party had to leave due to indoor climate. A little unclear on dish expectations post meal, food is brought to you, but I believe you're expected to self-bus your table. Food selection is solid, connected bookstore adds to complete a quaint café experience. I would recommend, maybe on a cooler day, though

Found this place close by to a concert we were going to at Montague Retreat Center. Unfamiliar and in the middle of nowhere where, The Lady Killigrew Cafe was a blessing! Timing was great as they close their kitchen at 8pm so we got there around 7:40 with just enough time to grab a bite. Cute and quaint, right near the flowing waters - I wish I got to see this place in the sunlight! The tunes here are great, I was dancing immediately. The staff here is sweet and the space itself is so fascinating! Has a cute charm throughout all the way down to the bookshop. I ordered the Number 1 sandwich. It was flavorful and just right to warm up my stomach. The salad was fresh and unique! Tasty stuff that had me perfectly satisfied.

When you're at the Montague Bookmill, this is a must stop. Seating inside and outside with a gorgeous view of the river. Food is extremely fresh and oh so good. We've only been there for lunch and the sandwiches are amazing. My son recently had the brie, apple and apricot jam and it was grilled to perfection, served with a delightful side salad. 10/10 strongly recommend!

Classic, simple menu with an extensive local beer, wine, and cider list; friendly, easy-going service, but the view of the River along the mill make this a forever return. I enjoyed the special sandwich - kielbasa, cheddar, saurkraut, and a little whole grain mustard on grilled sourdough. I also nabbed a cold peanut udon noodle situation for my drive later. Love a morning spent in the stacks at the bookmill followed by lunch and a bev at lady killigrew. A western Mass weekend staple.

This was such a great find! My girlfriend and I went here to go to the Book Mill and ended up eating at this adorable little cafe! The food was delicious, even though it was busy it was definitely a manageable noise level! The roaring river along the side was so beautiful, it was an amazing meal and such a great atmosphere :)
