This place is such a GEM! I absolutely love the theme and it is so enjoyable to eat and look around at all the vintage treasures (and sort of shop with your eyes!). It feels really like you are in a tea room with all the antiques, but then you can also purchase some treasures on your way out (very reasonably priced! They don't have tags, so you can ask). I couldn't help getting up from my seat and making a small pile of goodies to take home before I even finished eating. The pieces in here are curated really well. (I got a great vintage mug with a cardinal motif, a blue glass vase, a beautiful blue plate, and even a real birds nest with faux robins eggs). The food was amazing, I went with 3 friends and we all were over the moon about our food. I sampled the lemon & sugar crepe and a spinach & goat cheese crepe- both delicious. I absolutely cannot believe how well they executed this idea is of having a vintage shop & restaurant, which is hard to do well. They have done it so well! The owners are THE sweetest humans. They even showed us the back patio area that opens once the warm weather hits. A must visit spot- we will be back!

I don't have the vocabulary to articulate the extreme greatness of this place. Best in the world.

Truly such a unique experience dining at Pleasant and Main. You can feel the love from Craig, the owner, in every part of your meal.

My third time at Pleasant and Main was as good as one and two. Just love the unique decor and atmosphere. But the food is really delicious. We have only been for breakfast/lunch.Dinner is in the planning. Go! You will be happy and full.

What a magical breakfast my husband and I had! We arrived and were the only ones there. A gentleman asked us to wait a minute to check if they were serving and luckily they were. We were seated at a bright and sunny window table, decorated with fresh flowers and old books. Very hygge! I had a very cute macchiato and the open faced croissant sandwich with Gruyère and local eggs. It came with fried potatoes and a fresh green salad. Delicious and enough for me to take a to-go box for later. My husband had the French toast with berries and a shot glass of maple syrup. He ate every bite and we were then told that 2nd helpings are free! How sweet. My hubby was full but I’ve never heard that offer before at any other restaurant I’ve been to.A group of people from a visual merchandising class came through and the staff were very accommodating to move things around that were hard to see for them. In an amazing surprise one of the gentlemen from the class asked if he could try the baby grand piano. I thought he’d play around a little but we were treated to a true musician! We got breakfast, with a show for free.They also have a lovely side garden that is very eclectic. I can’t wait to return.(Wouldn’t recommend to bring young kids. There’s lots of breakables as it doubles as an antique store and it’s a quiet and calm ambiance.)

Breakfast here was absolutely incredible, delicious food, awesome service, and magical atmosphere, all together the experience was very special. This could be the best breakfast my Wife and I have ever had anywhere! We also got treated to complimentary scones, orange juice, and after our breakfast they treated us to delicious lemon crepes. Our compliments to the Waiter and Chef for a wonderful culinary surprise!

This place is really amazing. Make sure you leave time to walk through, but the star of the show is definitely the food! The service is also really good. You feel like you're eating at a family members table. I can't recommend this place highly enough. It's absolutely beautiful

What a hidden gem in the area! Food was ordered to go but the quality was still great. My wife ordered an open egg sandwich on a croissant and my sister in law ordered a farmers omelet. I had ordered the French toast with a homemade berry compote. I was greeted by a table of beautifully fresh baked goods the moment I stepped in and the gentleman who greeted me ( I'm assuming the owner) completed my order by giving me complimentary muffins and croissants into my order as well. Very generous and accommodating of him. I will make an effort to go back and try lunch or dinner in the future when revisiting the area.

A friend and I were in the area and just stumbled upon this restaurant. It was so gorgeous inside with the decor of antiques. We ate breakfast. The food was amazing. We both had scones. They were the best scones I ever had. We also had, the eggs, ham, and croissant. It was amazing. I definitely will be coming back here. If you are in the area, don't miss this hidden gem. The service was also exceptional. We were taken care of right away, and even given a sample of muffin and scone.

We had a lovely late breakfast here on a cold Saturday. This place is part breakfast and lunch place, part antique shop. It's utterly charming - there's so much to look at! Great selection of breakfast dishes....the french toast and the pancakes were really good - AND served with real maple syrup (without having to ask or be upcharged for it). Today both were served with a nice berry compote. Croissant breakfast sandwich and farm omelet were also top rate. Don't miss the decadent hot chocolate. Service is quirky which matches the whole vibe of the place. Owner is only concerned you've eaten enough! Check it out - recommend a reservation. I want to go back for lunch because there is an awesome selection of both sweet and savory crepes.

I wanted to love this place because it looked so cute and had very good reviews, but sadly it was a huge disappointment. Perhaps my first warning should've been the overload of antiques, we weren't sure if we were in an antique store or a restaurant. I eventually found someone to place a takeout order with and she was nice, a bit frazzled because she was the only server, but nice. My second warning was when she had to go ask if they still had the items I wanted to order available. Which I thought was crazy because they have a very limited menu. However, I thought maybe everything is made fresh and they've sold out of a few items because they're hot items. Not the case. I ordered a Housatonic Burger and a Chicken Pot Pie. The burger had no toppings and for some bizarre reason was broken up into pieces; it was definitely precooked and overcooked. It was so inedible; well at least my dogs enjoyed it. The Chicken Pot Pie wasn't much better. My husband ate half of it and tossed the rest. Very disappointing and I definitely don't recommend going here!

Always accommodating! Food is so fresh and every time I go I feel like it is a special occasion! Planning on taking a friend this Wednesday for brunch. This is my only criticism; I can never find a schedule with days and times open and if there are seasonal schedule changes and if I need a reservation.
