    First off. Bistro Box will always be a favorite of mine! We always plan well in advance to make…read moresure we're here early enough to enjoy! A quick phone call or advanced preparation would flatten any concerns about business hours in my opinion! But that's besides the point. The staff is always super nice and accommodating and would be more than happy to help with anything if asked respectfully! The food is always a 10/10 and the portions are INSANELY huge. Well worth the wait and the price! If you're not willing to wait for quality, just go McDonalds if you're impatient. Keep killing it bistro box! You guys rock! We'll see you again soon!

    Quite possibly one of the best burgers I've ever had. I want to cover everything in that bacon jam…read more The box burger is delicious and worth the extra few minutes drive. The sirloin patty is juicy and beefy, nestled in the softest of brioche buns. The bacon jam just takes it next level. Pricey but worth it. The fries are hand cut and chefs kiss. Note they put salt and pepper on their fries so if you have kids who may not like spicy black pepper, make sure to let them know. Love the side of the road burger shack vibes and there is lots of outdoor dining space and picnic tables. Very kid friendly and open fields for them to run around. It can be a bit of a wait as the food is cool to order but worth it. A must try!

    We were really looking forward to dining here and had saved this restaurant as the culmination of…read moreour trip to the Berkshires. Unfortunately, our experience was extremely disappointing. We arrived for our reservation and were offered a very small two-top. Because we were dining with our dog, we politely asked if it would be possible to wait for a larger table where she would not be in the way of other guests or staff. We were not demanding a different table -- we were told it would take approximately 30 minutes for another table in a different section to become available, and we happily said we were willing to wait. We sat quietly outside with our dog while waiting. The owner then approached us and told us that waiting for another table would interfere with future seating. We were surprised by this, as we had simply accepted the wait time that was provided to us and had not caused any disruption. The interaction escalated when the owner used profanity toward my husband and threw the water bowl that had been provided for our dog in our direction. We were shocked by the hostility and left without eating. We completely understand that restaurants have to manage reservations and seating, and we would have accepted being told that our request could not be accommodated. What was unacceptable was the way we were spoken to and treated by the owner. We came here excited to spend our money at this restaurant as part of our trip, but we are grateful that Great Barrington has many other excellent establishments where we were welcomed and happy to spend our money instead. Unfortunately, this experience was the opposite of the hospitality we expected.

    This place used to be great and it was always our first stop in GB but…read more it has fallen off a cliff. I told the owner Mark how awful the service was and he was completely indifferent. Couldn't bring himself to apologize. Here's what you endure: 1. Waitress brings a carafe of water but no glasses. You have to ask twice. Later when soup is dropped off you have to wait for the server to return so you can ask for a spoon. 2. Lots of specials are no longer available. Then why are they still on the board? Your waitress lists what they're out of so you decide to have the sandwich. "We're out of that too." OKAAAY 3. You want a salad without nuts and you indicated that when you made the reservation and the menu says clearly "Please notify your server if you have any allergies." Your waitress says it's not possible to make accommodations. You have to ask three times before she puts in the order. 4. You've been enjoying cocktails--which are great--but it's been an hour and food still hasn't arrived (it's 8:45 and restaurant is mostly empty). Your busser shows up to see if we're done and need any more plates taken away. No, you politely say, you need your entrees. 5. You wonder aloud for the third time if your server has left for the night. 6. You're not offered dessert or anything else. You can't wait to leave a place you used to love. You won't go back.

Ate with coats on under skylights. Baba ganoush starter with hot pita triangles was the highlight, quickly went downhill.

The authenticity of their…read moreLebanese food is unsurpassed imo, from soup to mezze and main course, you will be delighted with the quality, freshness and flavors. If you have or were to have a Lebanese grandmother, this is the kind of home cooking that stirs fond memories of those cherished bygone visits to grandma's house for one of her sumptuous homemade meals. Naji's menu is perfect, not so many items that you'll get lost but a perfect sampling of all the major categories plus some. Given a week's notice, they can accommodate just about any special requests you might have. If you like Mediterranean cuisine this is a don't miss experience in Lebanese dining, one that will leave a lasting impression. This little resto is worth a drive from anywhere in N.E., heck, maybe even further away than that. Super food, excellent hospitality, Naji's for the win win..!!

    Today was our second visit in 8 days and I can tell you we will be back next Saturday as well. We…read morehave at least six more dishes we have to try. They have a wonderful menu offering of letting you pair 3 or 5 of the cold appetizers for a great price. Not only are they apps but they serve as amazing flavors to add to every bite throughout the meal. Grape leaves, hummus, tatziki, spiced feta, ... and more with amazing pita. Last week we both had the gyros hers with "fries" mine with salad. The fries were a thick kitchen-made chip with some crispy and some tender. Amazing. The salad was so fresh we wondered where they were getting their produce! The lamb gyro was exactly that special flavor you have been chasing with lettuce, fresh tomato, tatziki and a warm pita. Try it with the spicy feta from the apps or the hummus! Tonight we tried the baked feta and tomatoes as a hot app with the hummus, grape leaves and tatziki 3 way sampler. Dynamite! I had the spanakopita and rice, Red had the Moussaka. She called it Greek lasagna, but it was so much more. Layered meat and a thick yet creamy béchamel with potatoes and thin eggplant. Greek savory ambrosia. Please, save room for dessert. , please. Last week while we waited for them to box up some take home baklava, we ordered a custard with philo dough. Sinful. The only sin for which you goto heaven. Tonight it was a chocolate cream-mousse cake with whipped cream and a thin milk chocolate topp while we waited for the take-home baklava. And a Hennessy for me while Red had a dessert wine, muscado. I am confused as to why there is not a line out the door. So I suppose I am letting you all in on the best kept secret for wholesome mediterranean food in Berkshire County. Enjoy!

Service: Unfortunately, the service was hit or miss. No one checked on us after our food arrived. My fork was cleared with the appetizer plate and never replaced, so I eventually took utensils from an empty nearby table. My seafood pasta also came with shellfish, but no dish was provided for the shells. No one checked on us until we almost finished our mains. Food: The lemon drop martini was okay. The char-grilled octopus was tasty, but the Mykonos seafood pasta was bland. Hubby enjoyed his Keftedes and burger, although his burger arrived with a bun despite requesting it without one. The salad that came with it was delicious -- I actually enjoyed it more than my pasta! Overall: A warm welcome and some good dishes, but the bland pasta and inattentive service made this a mixed experience.
