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~

It's a small spot, so you'll want to make a reservation, and expect for it to be a little loud. It doesn't take away the experience though, in my opinion.

The food is tapas style with just the right amount of choices. The Swiss chard was prepared perfectly with just the right amount of seasoning.

I look forward to dining here again. When the weather is nice, definitely sit outside.

Our waitress came by to take a drink order and brought us a bottle of water for the table. The menu is limited, but has plenty of variety and everything has a level of 'comfort' instead of 'stuffy'. The presentation of our meals is well done. I ordered a salad and the produce was fresh with crisp lettuce, well prepared grilled tuna and boiled egg. The dressing was light and tasty. Would order this again. Two peanut butter cookies arrived with our check. I am kind of surprised they would choose to serve peanut butter with so many people having nut allergies, including myself. I had to ask what type of cookies they were before I took one. That just seems like a dangerous policy. Otherwise, we enjoy our time here. Everything is top tier from flatware to restroom to service to food quality. Definitely worth a look.

What made the experience even more special was the hospitality. After the Tanglewood concert on a Sunday night, the staff recognized that many concertgoers were looking for a place to eat and graciously stayed open later to accommodate everyone. That level of customer service is rare and speaks volumes about how much they care about their guests. Outstanding food, exceptional hospitality, and an experience I'll be talking about for a long time. I can't wait to come back.

A Valentine's dinner that did not impress!…read more Valentine's has always been a very special holiday for me. My husband and I decided to spend the weekend in the Berkshires, which was lovely and quiet. I made reservations ahead of time for this highly rated wine bar and very close to where we were staying. First off, due to the previous weather/storms they had no street parking. But luckily we parked in a nearby lot. Upon arrival, the restaurant bar area was very nice and romantic. The server brought us to our table but I was a bit disappointed in the ambiance. I mean the bar area was a bit darker and the table that we were being seated at had a lot of light. Now, don't get me wrong, It was Valentine's day which screams romantic and there was no romantic vibe to this restaurant. After mentioning this to our server she did move us and turned down the lights a bit which was much better. Food/Drinks: The menu was not big at all which was nice. I ordered a dirty martini to start which needed more olive juice and my husband ordered a rum cocktail which he enjoyed. For starters, I ordered their Over Roasted Parsnip which was very good and filling. My husband had their Beet Salad which he said was excellent. For entrees, I had their Seared Duck Breast. I really enjoyed the caramel sauce but did not love the duck itself. My husband had the Oven Roasted Chicken Statler which was very dry he could barley eat it. Also, since this is a wine bar I will say the wines were nothing special which was also a bit disappointing. I wish they had something unique and special to offer especially being on a Valentine's Day. I feel this place may be more of a summer destination. Service: Service was excellent I will say. Our server was always asking how things were, checking on us and if we needed anything and asking about any additional drinks. etc. Also, the Manager came over to ask how everything was but he spefically looked at me. I think my husband would've mentioned his meal being dry if he looked at him as well but my husband could've spoken up too. We did say something to our server after she asked about the chicken dish, which they ended up taken off the bill which was very nice. Overall: I didn't love Alta Wine Bar my first time here, but I would come back in the spring or summer months when the weather is warm to try it again. Cheers~

We sat at the bar where the service was very good. They have a limited but well chosen draught list.

The place is a real bargain for this area, and I'd recommend it wholeheartedly.

Upon entry there a bar full of people watching a game. Since it's a brewery, it has a rustic look with wooden decor. The hostess greeted me and asked if I needed a table. I let her know that I placed an order and she quickly went back to check if my order was ready. As she stepped away, another hostess stepped in to assist. After a few minutes, she came back with my order. After coming back to my room, I had the fish and salad. It was large portions nicely prepared, hot and tasted very nice. Highly recommended!

Our food fell on it's face. We went based on a personal recommendation and backed by YELP reviews. This was my first big disappointment on YELP. We ordered bruschetta and meatballs for apps. Bruschetta was a bit too charred but ok. Meatballs arrived.... Gray balls sitting on ricotta and oil with an herb and shallot crumble. Meatballs were meh and topping was bitter like burnt garlic and onion. Table bread, delicious. Beverages, delicious. Entrees we were split 50/50. Eggplant parm was very tasty and red sauce tasted fresh and well seasoned. My chicken marsala with creamy polenta was very disappointing. Instead of marsala forward it tasted of mushroom gravy, chicken dry with hard edges and polenta you could cut and chase chunks around the plate. Not a bit like polenta should be. Dessert was warm ricotta cake with gelato. Gelato was essential to this dessert as the lemon sauce was so intensely tart and sour it was near inedible without some buffering by the gelato. Value wise it would have been a fairly pricey meal by our standards even if the food was good. However price point is more palatable when the food is.

It is a darkly lit restaurant but they have little lights on the tables that make reading the menu possible. We had the meatball appetizer- amazing texture and flavor and the ricotta cheese and fried scallions took it to the next level. Make sure to ask for extra bread to soak up all the oil and cheese! We split the Sicilian swordfish and the authentic blend of olives capers and tomatoes was divine!
