  For the numerous times that I've gone with friends for dinner, it has always been a great and convenient experience (located right on campus near Franklin Dining Commons)! At the end of the semester I usually have quite a few YCMP swipes left so my friends and I splurge by using them up on "extravagant" meals at UClub. (Better that than feeding UMass Dining free money!)
  
  The menu in my opinion is definitely on the pricier side if you were to spend your own non-prepaid money, but it is an upgrade from the regular Dining Hall mass-produced meals. Plus it's in a charming blue old-fashioned house, apparently the oldest in Amherst! Most if not all of the servers are UMass students so I didn't factor any expectations for the service. Although I was impressed that when one of my friends made a reservation for 12 of us , the staff actually found a table AND private room to accommodate all of us!
  
  APPETIZERS: Pan-seared Scallops, Stuffed mushrooms (Both were delicious! Who knew scallops with a bit of apple sauce and some chips on the side would taste so good.)
  
  ENTREES: Pan-seared Salmon, Herb-crusted Mahi (Both my SO and I were pleasantly surprised by how delicious and appropriately seasoned the fish were!)
  
  NY Steak (underwhelming, tough), Seafood Pasta (I don't really like their pasta since it reminds me of dining hall food, plus there weren't enough scallops or shrimp)
  
  DESSERTS: They have a daily menu so the server will let you know. Lemon cake, Cheese cake, Chocolate Cake, Strawberry Shortcake, etc...
  (I've tried a lot of different ones, and they are all good but nothing sticks out in my mind in particular. I'm usually probably too full at this point.)
