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.

I waited around 20 minutes…read morefor my food, and when it finally came out it was cold, like it had been sitting there forever. On top of that, I asked twice for my plain black iced coffee, and it didn't show up until after I finished eating, which kind of defeated the purpose of ordering it. It genuinely felt like the staff was more focused on chatting with each other than taking care of customers. The vibe from the employees was also not great. When I mentioned I was vegetarian, I got a reaction that felt really judgmental and dismissive, which made me uncomfortable. When I asked for the Wi-Fi, I got hit with a snarky, "Do you not see the sign?" while they pointed at something completely hidden. The whole thing came off as really passive-aggressive. Overall, the service felt rude and unwelcoming, the food was cold, and the drink situation was just annoying. I left feeling like I had spent money just to be treated poorly. I've actually given this place a few chances, because I do like the aesthetics, but the food and service are just not good. The food is bland, and I don't feel like paying $20 for something that tastes like cardboard. ALSO I ordered a kale salad and the kale wasn't even massaged. It was just straight up kale dressing and a few pumpkin seeds. This was $17 by the way.

In the main dining area you can relax to a woman singing all of the classics. Food was amazing - the French onion soup was incredible, and the steak was tasty and perfectly cooked.

Super velvety and rich and what they call one scoop is an extremely generous serving and a bit more than I had bargained for after a full meal. Nevertheless, it was so excellent I ate the whole serving! Cool Alpine themed grounds that resemble Germany or Switzerland and the cows are close by on view. Very kind and friendly service, I only wish they were open later because especially once it's lighter later, the 7pm close seemed a bit early. I'll definitely be back to try their cheese and other farm store products. Although we had some time to browse, I couldn't decide what I wanted before they closed at 7. No hardship to return here though: great spot!

We got the truffle fries right away and honestly they were so good, you could smell the parmesan as soon as they came out and they didn't last long at all.

Kevin got pork belly and mushroom pizza and kept saying it was his favorite, it did look really good. I got the crab BLT and it was huge like actually huge, they really do not hold back on the bacon and the chips on the side were warm and we were all just kind of picking at them. It wasn't busy at all when we went in which was nice after being outside all day, and the service was great! We drank a lot of water after all that hiking.

Hands down the worst-quality seafood restaurant I've found in the Berkshires. The seafood itself was shockingly greasy, heavy, and poorly prepared. I ordered the French onion soup absolutely lousy. For a party of four, they served what would normally be two slices of bread, cut into four tiny pieces, as if that was acceptable to share. When we asked for more bread and for tartar sauce which they forgot to bring with the meal the waitress acted as though we were inconveniencing her just by asking. Completely unprofessional. The house salad was equally bad: two cucumber slices, one grape tomato cut in half, no onion, no effort. I don't know how you make a salad taste bad, but they managed it. To top it off, the $40 Fisherman's Platter was a joke. The portion size was small, uninspired, and nowhere near worth the price. I would never advise anyone to waste their money here. Avoid it at all costs. You're wasting your time, your energy, and your money. This place deserves a boycott. After three visits, this is without question the worst dining experience I've had in the Berkshires.
