A simple side salad with an amazing house made dressing becomes a treat. The shrimp tacos are seasoned like no other and burst with flavor. The bibimbop--of which I'm no expert--is pleasing & surprisingly filling--just right for pre-theater dinner (Barrington Stage a block away). The mixed drinks (per my companions) are both original & delicious. The last night we were there the owner/bartender/chef was by herself yet service was friendly, personal and efficient. What else can you ask for?

I discovered this only…read morebecause it took days to get a confirmation of my purchase (though amount was charged to my account immediately.) I was scouring the website to find out if I really had reservations and accidently discovered that the discount was offered. When I called the box office I was told the discount is not available on line, but is available to those who phone for tickets, or get them at the box office. I could not take advantage of the poorly advertised discount because I had already purchased the tickets. Don't purchase tickets on line before you see what discounts are available.

Lenox has some really cool spots and Ombra is one of them. Recommended by a local, we stopped here on Valentine's Day after our dinner for a nice glass of wine. The place was crowded but luckily a few people were leaving so we scored some seats at the bar. I ordered a glass of Nebbiolo from Italy which was good. My husband had a beer. The place is so cute and very romantic with dim lights, a great wine selection and their food looked so good. Unfortunately, we were so full that we did not end up ordering anything. Although, the french fries were calling my name. Ombra is a place that I could see us coming to almost every week and not getting tired of it. We met a local who is very nice and told us how Ombra is very popular. I think we will have to come back in the spring/summer to get those french fries :) If you are ever in Lenox definitely make your way to Ombra for a nice glass of wine or try a cocktail. This is the perfect date night spot for sure whether you start or end your evening here, you will be happy! Cheers~

New owners and a new menu this season - a good start, but many kinks yet to be worked out…read more A good basic "pub food" menu for a family-targeted sit-down restaurant at a ski mountain (bar appetizers, burgers, soup, salads, etc.), but it seems like there aren't quite enough servers to handle the volume of customers on a busy ski day, and the kitchen timing needs work. Our family of 8 skied a few days after Christmas, and after we ordered our lunch, the wait for our (very basic!) order was very long (at least 25-30 minutes). Then when the food finally started being delivered, it arrived in "shifts" so that half our group ended up finishing their lunches before the other half had even received their orders. (First the chili in bread bowls was delivered, then 5 minutes later the burger orders were delivered, then 5 minutes after that, the deep-fried items arrived, etc...) We understand that off-season staffing in the Berkshires is a challenge, but it was disappointing not to be able to share lunch with each other at the same time, and the slow-down in everyone being able to eat delayed our return to the slopes as we'd wished. The food was more than adequate for what it is, and the upstairs space & view of the mountain are beautiful as always, but the service needs work.

We were not greeted upon entering even though we passed by their work area as we came in. They treated me with disdain as I asked for information, and my follow up question about local authors was scoffed at, one would think a local book seller would be proud to flaunt their local authors. I travel across the country visiting small independent bookstores and always buy something to show support; I would never give this bookstore even 1 penny. Even if the treatment of potential costumers was even slightly improved, as others have noted, there's not a great selection and there is definitely not a welcoming, comfortable atmosphere.
