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!

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!

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!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Can't say enough!! If you haven't been you need to. A wonderful dining experience, with alot of standard and character.

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.
