The…read moreatmosphere is cozy and welcoming, drinks are well-crafted, and the food is fantastic - our favorites include the smash burger (hello, onion jam!!), the fish & chips, the salmon, the onion rings, and the nachos. Seating is limited so there can be a wait during busy times, but everyone in this place is so friendly that it hardly matters. If you're looking for a friendly local watering hole with a cozy vibe and excellent food, this is it! (Note that the entrance to The Well is located down a steep stone staircase from the sidewalk, so you'll want to consider this if you have mobility challenges...)

We called and spoke to Verne who was incredibly welcoming but could only offer seats at the bar that wouldn't have been appropriate for my young daughter. We appreciated the accommodating and honesty and thought that was that. Verne called back soon after when a lady minute cancellation meant a table was available, a small Christmas miracle. The ambience was exactly what we wanted. We were greeted warmly. Service was impeccable. Food was outstanding and one of the best meals I've ever had. Everything ok the menu was great. We loved Number Ten and hope to be back!

When I got my dish, I didn't think it was medium-rare but didn't want to send it back and make a fuss, and it was dark inside the restaurant, so I couldn't really tell how raw the meat was and just kept eating it, mostly the edges. I got full pretty quick and probably ate 1/4th of the dish and decided to take it home. But the next day, I noticed that the steak was rare. Perfect char on the outside, but the cow was still mooing. Lesson learned: as a paying customer, just complain right there and then. The sides were great as usual, and so was the dessert.

The soft pretzel, made fr spent brewer's grain was really good! The cheddar ale soup was a bit disappointing. It delivered on the ale, but the soup was thin and had a kind of gritty texture. Not the creamy texture you'd expect in a cheese soup. My wife got the brisket sandwich with fries. It was odd. Normally brisket is served sliced which accentuates the tenderness, but this was pulled, like pulled pork. The flavor was okay. I had the chicken pot pie which was okay. I wouldn't order it again. We didn't like the service at all. The staff wasn't really welcoming at all. When I went to the bar to pay for a four pack of brown ale, I waited probably five minutes before anyone paid attention to me. Two servers and the bartender all basically ignored me, and the bar wasn't busy. The bartender was engaged in small talk with other patrons. The highlights were the beer and the chocolate stout cake, which we took home. The beer is excellent. I had a brown ale and a stout. The chocolate stout cake with chocolate ganache is really good! In the end, the other reviews I saw were pretty accurate. Beer - great! Food - meh. Service - not good.

Obviously issues with being able to choose, not cool, first food world problems. We started with the potato puck appetizer, good , it's fried potatoes and cheese , I mean, no brainer. A smidge pricey for the two disc, I know, but for 11$, it's not worth it ($3 each would, just saying) The main course, ah, so good, thank you staff at gb! My cheeseburger was delicious, pink, perfect. The char flavor, chef kiss! The fries, also top shelf. Totally on price. chicken and waffles, well this was my issue, this combo went so well together, I felt my burger was being overshadowed, which wouldn't have been justified. Great malt in that waffle. Crab po boy and chicken sandwich were also notable, but I didn't personally try them. I could see coming here strictly for breakfast or going half and half, being right Either way.

Since we were driving from Cambridge to Egremont -- about three hours -- to celebrate a special occasion with friends who live nearby, we called to ask whether they could make an exception. The manager gladly did. A few hours before the reservation, however, the OWNER called and brusquely informed us that they do not take reservations for parties of four and that "maybe they could accommodate us," before launching into an unnecessary lecture about their 5+ policy -- essentially cancelling our reservation. Why do that to your customers? Unfortunately, it didn't stop there. When we arrived, he was again rude and dismissive, seating us at a tiny table in the corner of the bar that was clearly too small for dinner. Thankfully, the manager stepped in, rescued the evening, and moved us to the main dining room, where we ended up having a wonderful night with our friends. She also checked in throughout the evening to make sure our experience improved, and her professionalism genuinely turned things around. As for the food: we ordered the Smoked Fish Pate appetizer, the Grilled Salmon, and the Artichoke and Goat Cheese Ravioli. The pate was exceptional -- layered, balanced, and memorable. The salmon was perfectly cooked, flavorful, and refreshingly not buried under heavy marinades. The ravioli was also excellent. Dessert was a rich chocolate cake that capped off an otherwise delightful meal. The decor, service, and overall comfort were all A+. This easily could have been a five-star evening, but the owner's unjustified hostility convinced me that this is not a place I would return to.

They have four menus - lunch, brunch, bar and dinner. We dipped into the brunch menu for our two meals - a $16 Elm Omelette with spinach, feta, bacon and a $20 Jonah Crab Avocado Toast with crab salad and sliced avocado and radishes over wheat toast. Both were served with hashed potatoes and a choice of bacon, sausage, or fruit. My Crab Avocado Toast was great, I mean really great. It has a big scoop of shredded crab salad, a lot of avocado slices, thin sliced radishes to add some crunch, very good hash browns, and 2 slices of thick crisp bacon. It was worth every penny of that $20 bill. Our server Madeline was a delight, and we had a lot of fun joking around with her as we all speculated on why a neighboring table looked at the menu and then walked out. I highly recommend Elm for you to try in your next visit to Great Barrington.

Listen, 5 stars for this trip is going to sound so bad, but just wait... Ill get there…read more I find this place on Yelp, Hubby and I were in town on vacation for a weekend to get away before I was to have a pretty big operation - so we just upped & ran away one weekend. It coincidentally happened to be prime leaf peeping weekend (which isnt why we went away) but it was Sunday am, we wanted to eat somewhere that wasnt Dunks, so I found this place on Yelp and it looked super cute, so we drove 30*ish minutes to get here. We arrive & Im thinking Oh No, this isnt going to be great, we get in line and are 3rd in line. Well 15 mins has passed and no one has even acknowledged the people in front of us or anyone... Now to set the scene for anyone who hasnt been here, its like walking into a time warp home. Its not like a restaurant, this is literally a home. There is stuff EVERYWHERE, its like a yard sale, dust, books, no 2 tables, place settings, mugs, plates or anything is the same on all the tables, and the woman who was working god bless her had to be easily 75... She was running the food, cleaning & clearing the tables and this place was packed. We ended up talking to the family in front of us in line (who were regulars and in their 90s) and they said they come every weekend, so the woman who works there pulls them out of line and seats them ahead of the people in front of them (they were ok with that) but they had told us how you can buy anything in the place, if you liked your table setting you can buy it. There was so much old rustic decor, the place is friggin adorable, but you can buy it all! I just continued to walk around the place & just investigate all the things. Well 45 mins later we were finally seated and magically a few more staff people arrived to help her out, the whole experience from waiting to be seated, to ordering to actually getting the food and check was easily 2+ hours. The food I expected to then be just meh, but it wasnt IT WAS GOOD, Craig the owner chef was literally in the kitchen ALONE... and lives up stairs too, but you could see him hustling around and just handling all of it. Salad at breakfast at first to me seemed so off, but OMG was it good. All the food was just fresh and really good! This was one of those super memorable experiences, the hubby wouldnt let me buy anything and that was ok, but if we are ever back in the area we are definitely stopping in again! Dont mind the wait (which Im told isnt normally that long - I think it was all the leaf peeping tourists)
