The fireplace in the lobby gave the chilly day a magical, wintery coziness. The staff is amongst the warmest, most attentive restaurant staff I've ever experienced. The food was exquisite. The coffee was exquisite. The decor and view was exquisite. Even the bread and butter was exquisite! I started with the Endive and Pear Salad and had the Blueberry Pancakes as my main. Both were so well balanced, the salad especially refreshing and charming. I had never eaten pancakes that were so dense yet fluffy with a crispy edge. I hope to one day return because it was an experience I'll never forget.

To order in person walk to the right and then turn left (a u-turn if you will) to get in line. Menus are posted on the walls to easily see as you wait in line. A variety of baked goods are available in a display case by the cashier. We ordered a raspberry lavender latte, a beverage from the cooler and two crepes. When we were walking away with our table number in hand I heard the cashier tell the barista I ordered a maple latte. I corrected her, I ordered the lavender. I received a Mocha. How did a raspberry lavender become chocolate? No idea how that went so wrong. A metal stand is on each table. Insert your table number and place it where staff can see. The indoor dining area has high ceilings, a big window wall at one end and is quite loud with sound bouncing off all the hard surfaces. Tables are set up from couples to a group configurations. In the back corner are two love seats and a coffee table. My egg and cheese crepe was extremely filling. Lots and lots of cheese in there. It kept me full all day in a 'I need a nap' kind of way. The cheese was the primary flavor in this dish. My dining companion had a stomach issue after eating a spicy reuben. It wasn't actually spicy at all so not sure what caused the stomach upset. The concept is fun. Put a sandwich into a crepe. The crepe doesn't add flavor to the dish and it's a knife and fork meal vs. a handheld. Add in both of our less than optimal reactions to the dish and wrong coffee delivery and we personally won't add this to our 'try again' list. They do have plenty of other items to try, and I do appreciate local businesses so I'm not saying it won't work for you. This was just my experience. Free on street parking. Restrooms down the hall near the back door where you'll also find a water fountain.

I am absolutely spoiled now. I am so glad I came to High Lawn Farms to try their ice cream and…read moredairy products. At the same time I am so sorry I tried their ice cream and dairy products. Because now, I realize how lacking all other dairy products are. Seriously. We purchased milk from High Lawn during our stay at a local long-term let with a full kitchen. We brought home milk and ice cream. When that ran out and we returned to our regular 'store bought' milk, I was like 'what am I drinking?' You don't know how good High Lawn Farms milk is, until you don't have it any more. If I lived near here, this is the only place I would get my dairy. Now, the ice cream! So, so, so good! It's not overly sweet. The flavor is just right. Again, not over done. It's 'light'. I don't know how to explain it. I got two scoops and when I saw how much ice cream that was I thought I'd 'never be able to eat all that.' But the ice cream texture is light, not heavy. It's still creamy, but not in the same way as my local farm made ice cream is made. It's light and those two scoops were just the right amount. The store offers more than milk and ice cream by the pint. They also sell a selection of High Lawn farm cheeses and frozen cuts of beef among other things. Besides the store and the ice cream trailer, you can visit the cows and calves in the barn. There are also older calves in the field by the ice cream trailer that you can pet. They come right up to the fence looking for pets. Anyway, you can see I am a fan of High Lawn Farm. Go. Don't think about it. Go. Get the ice cream. Get the milk. Compare it to your 'regular' dairy. You'll understand.

We have eaten here many times before but unfortunately we will not be back. The food ranged from…read moremediocre to quite good but was too inconsistent. We ordered the bread and butter off the menu (only way to get bread) and the butter was individually wrapped in packets labeled Sysco. It was too salty and not good at all. We adore the butter in France and expected better from a boutique French restaurant. We also experienced the owner as being quite argumentative and we experienced his manner as condescending when we made what we thought were two fairly normal requests. Two requests that this restaurant had honored in the past under previous ownership (but we were unaware of the change of ownership). Our experience was that the new owner belittled our requests. One, to cook the oysters (my mother can't medically eat raw oysters but adores them if they can be cooked. And this was a special birthday dinner for her.) And a request for organic wine which we had had at this restaurant before. (Non-organic wine gives her a headache.) We also found the owner quite argumentative and experienced his manner as condescending when we made what we thought were two fairly normal requests. **In response to the restaurant's comments below, the issue was not that he said no; it was the way in which we were spoken to. (My mother actually left the restaurant for a bit to collect herself but chose to come back in for the meal. I wish we had just left.) The waitress was lovely and attentive. She was professional in all of her interactions with us and we were very grateful for her kindness. The eggs mayonnaise was just ok (could have made better ourselves). The ratatouille was quite disappointing, no depth or real flavor- definitely would have been tastier if we had made it ourselves. The branzino was the only highlight of the meal yet they had left a cluster of the green bean stems on the plate... ? On purpose? The night before we had an excellent dinner at Alta in Lenox Center. Don't hesitate to go there! Cafe Triskele used to be consistent and excellent. Unfortunately, our experience this time was very different. ** My comments below were added after the restaurant's response: I have made a few minor edits above to clarify my original review. I would also like to note that the person who posted the restaurant's response below was not present during the interactions described above. And at no point during the evening was an apology offered or did anyone come to our table to acknowledge what had happened or ask if there was anything they could do to address the situation.

Definitely worth a stop if you're in Lenox, especially if you're on the hunt for a really good bowl of New England clam chowder!

Host - 4 out of 5. After telling us that there would be a 30 minute wait and as we were walking away, he quickly came outside to let us know that he just had an online cancellation and could seat us immediately. 3. Menu - 3 out of 5. When we asked if the salmon could be cooked medium rare, we were told that it is all cooked the same regardless of request per direction from the owner. When asked if salmon fish and chips were available we're told that while it is a great idea, it was not on the menu and never has been. Prices too high for menu items available. 4. Food Quality - 1 out of 5. I had fish and chips. Fish appeared to be frozen cod. Breading was not "to order" and fish was cold (not warm) giving credence to a frozen product that had been under-fried. Fries were stale and also reminded me of frozen fries I can get at any supermarket. Cole slaw and entire entree was tasteless. I tried to add salt but the salt shaker was clogged from lack of use and attention. The other order was fish tacos. No flavor, even though the server said they were spicy. NOT! The fish in the tacos also reminded us of frozen fish sticks and had cold/frozen areas on them We also had lobster bisque as a starter. This was the sweetest "bisque" I have ever tasted. Whoever the "chef" is has lost their passion for cooking or never had it to begin with. 5. Ambiance - we were seated behind 3 moms who had 3 children, 2 of which were 1-2 years old and screamed (actually SCREAMED) through most of our meal. Not the restaurant's fault but clearly did not add to a relaxing atmosphere. Overall - After $100 including tip, there was no value, no flavor, no relaxation. I hope others find this review helpful in making their choices when in Lee.
