FLAVOURS restaurant is by far one of the best restaurants. The food is Malaysian/American. It's incredible. They were voted #1 out of 45 retaurants in Lenox.
Sabrina & Chin are the owners and they make your stop at FLAVOURS a memorable one. They are located in the ECONO LODGE on the Pittsfield/Lenox road. Check them out, it's worth the trip.Fridays & Saturdays they have entertainment.

Ozzie's, Hinsdale NY

Great place to eat is in Hinsdale. Ozzie's Steak and Eggs. Great food at great prices. Nice decor and friendly people from the owners, workers and patrons. You can eat in the booths or at the counter one one side or in the dining area on the other side. In the summer it great to relax and have a drink and dinner on there deck under the canopy and near the river. Great seafood and steaks. A true gem nestled in the center of Hinsdale. Take Rt 8 into Hinsdale and take a right at the lights. Right across from the Post Office.

The Dalton Restaurant in Dalton, MA

The Dalton Restaurant, on Main Street, in Dalton (next to the pharmacy), is a friendly, comfortable dining experience! The menue is wide-ranged. The quality & quantity is palate & wallet friendly, with just desserts! Solo, a few friends, or an entire family, this is the place to be for you!

Jerry

The Elbow Room in Coltsville, MA

The Elbow Room, in Coltsville, across from Monroe Muffler, is a great place from steak to over-stuffed sandwich's. Their fish & chips (Friday, all-you-can-eat) are second to none! Thursday's clam strips (all-you-can-eat) are scrumptious. Both come with a delicious coleslaw, & their fries are not only different, but tasty! The staff is very friendly & courteous. Dine in their glass room & enjoy the view of the Berkshires!

Picnic and swim is Onota Lake in Pittsfield, MA

The best place to picnic and swim is Onota Lake in Pittsfield. My dad and his family had fond memories of get togethers there and when I was growing up, we'd make plans to meet with relatives early in the morning to grab a few picnic tables and stay until dark. They used to have a snack bar and it was such a thrill to save some change and buy candy necklaces (and then forget to take them off when we jumped in the water!) I wonder if there's still that big rock where the old swimming area used to be that we used to dive off of? And I remember swimming across the lake with my 70+ year old Grandpa Gus!

The Pillars in New Lebanon, NY

When I lived in Pittsfield, my husband's and my favorite restaurant HANDS DOWN was The Pillars over in New Lebanon, NY. We ALWAYS went for our anniversary, the food there is phenomenal and the service is top rate! We pretty much always got the same thing, the Chateaubriand (sp?) for 2, it just literally melted in your mouth! Then we would follow that with the Unfinished Symphony for dessert! For those of you who don't know, this is a small dark chocolate standing upright piano, filled with raspberry mousse, it even had white chocolate keys! Exquisite dining at it's finest!!! Must Go!!

Zenn's Dog House in Pittsfield, MA

Zenn's Dog House
Cheshire Road
Pittsfield MA 01201

This fairly new establishment located in the former Huts Restaurant, is a great place for any style hot dog you enjoy. The decor inside is great!! They also added an outdoor window for food and ice cream. I enjoy playing keno and this is the best place to go for that. Prices are reasonable and I just love the place.

Jack's Hot Dogs in North Adams, MA

Jack's Hot Dogs
There is nothing better than walking down Eagle Street with the little brown bag. In anticipation of the o-so-good, I-really-shouldn't-eat-these dogs with everything and fries. Mmmmmmmmmmm.

Patricia

Sabor in Pittsfield, MA and in Lee the Cork 'n Hearth and Pho Saigon

In Pittsfield, Sabor is a must for their fish dishes. We like the cozy little bar and the chef does an outstanding job with their fish selections, my favorite being the red snapper. Don't forget to try their homemade chips and guacamole!

In Lee we always head for Cork 'n Hearth. The owner's make you feel like family. You must try the duck or if you like something lighter, in the bar area have the salad with grilled chicken. Also in Lee we've been delighted by Pho Saigon. Our favorite Asian restaurants are in Queens, so we were thrilled to find Pho Saigon that fills our cravings.

Aegean Breeze in Great Barrington

Aegean Breeze

Very favorite dining.

Steaks, Pasta , Fish Salads so much to choose from.Quantity and QUALITY.. The overall dining is a Greek flare. The foods smell and taste, so fresh and mouth watering. The service excellent. The fine wine selection. The Greek/ American desserts to die for. A vintage, meditteranean, romantic atmosphere. Very relaxed and personable.

Teo's in Pittsfield! They have the best hot dogs in the world! 3 with everything and a cold beer - heaven on earth. I have not been in a couple of years - might have to make the trip soon.

In North Adams and Dalton

I also have a few favorite places to eat in and around the Berkshires. My summertime favorite has to be Pedrin's in North Adams. The food is good, the service is fast and the view is out of this world.

Also, the prices are reasonable. Pete & Chris restaurant on Dalton Avenue serves a great Greek salad and their Pizza is excellent. They have great specials and very good waitresses. Also a good value for the money

If I want seafood I go to Dalton to The Shamrock. The best clam chowder I've ever had.

I have a couple favorites in the county ...

First is definitely prime rib at the Dakota.

Second is the Old Inn on the Green in New Marlborough, but I haven't been there in a while. Great candle-lit dining room.

And then, third is the Red Carpet in Adams. Good food, cheap.
