Chocolate craving: 1. Us: 0. This restaurant located in the beautiful Berkshires is pretty hidden, unless you're lodging at the Jiminy Peak Mountain Resort, with John Harvard's being one of the many restaurants available during your stay. We both opted for chicken sandwiches. His was simple - cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion. Hers was an odd pairing - caramelized onions, bacon, cheese, tomato, and...pesto? Yes, pesto. It was delicious, although the amount given was not very great and more had to be requested. The chicken was juicy, the brioche bun generously toasted, and the french fries perfectly salted. Service was great, we were perfectly tended to. Back to the dessert - the brownie was moist and chocolatey, the ice cream rich. All in all, the perfect item to satisfy that after-dinner sweet tooth.

Based on bar only: the bartender was on his phone while vaping! In the restaurant! Behind the bar! And $15.75 for a hot toddy! Willllllllld. Please allow staff to take breaks so they don't have to ignore customers watching while they vape and check Instagram behind the bar.

This is a generous review. I just don't like giving negative reviews. We got there about an hour before closing. It was pretty full but was given the impression there were no available tables. It took a long time for a server to acknowledge us. We started with soup. It took almost 15 minutes to get it. Other tables whose food came earlier were seated after us. We finished the soup but had already given our dinner order. After an unreasonable wait, I inquired. Funny how when you inquire, it comes right out. Remember others got their food earlier. You kinda know it's going to be a bad night when the upside of the hamburger bun was burnt. Clearly, our food was sitting for a while. The fries were warm at best. Oh, I forgot the bun was in the toaster. The food was ok. nothing to entice a repeat performance. I only tipped 20%. This is very rare for me to tip so little as servers are clearly underpaid.

Drove back from Albany to have dinner here. Their website states a spicy turkey burger. Get to the restaurant. Open the menu. And guess what? NO TURKEY BURGER! Asked the server about it. "Oh! That's our winter menu. The restaurant had no control of the website. It's July 28th! Spoke to the manager and was told, Jiminy Peak controls the website and they have tried for a long time to update the website-but to no avail. Since I do not eat beef, pork, veal .... Poultry is my go to. A GOOD TURKEY BURGER.... Shame on you Jiminy Peak.

Decided to dine here after driving in from Virginia. Walked to the place from our resort. Sue, our server made sure we saw everything on the menu and took our orders. Once served she made sure all was in order and checked back as appropriate. Nice little local place and worth your time for good food and a nice selection of brews.

Food was great. A nice restaurant and bar. What every vacation resort should have. Ours didn't, so we were happy to find this.

After checking in at Bentley Brooks, came over for dinner. I ordered the Cucumber Margarita which sounded interesting. My husband and I both had the baked Lemon Halibut with grilled asparagus. Amie who created the drink list came over to see how I liked her creation. It was very good. My husband tried another creation which was similar to an old fashion. We enjoyed this restaurant so much we returned the next evening. I had a repeat of the first night but it was served with grilled zucchini and carrots this evening. Husband tried the spicy shrimp and linguine, unfortunately it was a little too spicy for him.
Stopped in here while skiing at Jiminy Peak. The plus is that it has table service and not as crowded as the other food locations on the mountain. I liked that we were able to relax and the prices are comparable to the other locations, so that makes it a four. What drops my rating to a three is the place is understaffed and it took us about 45 minutes to get food. Overall, I like the food here and the fact they have a kids' menu.

This is a great restaurant and brewery (they no longer brew beers on premises though) that gets pretty crowded during lunchtime on weekends. We got here around 12:30pm and beat the rush and we were very happy to get a booth by the window to look out at the snowy mountain. The chili bowl was delicious and we ordered additional jalapeños, diced onions, and a bowl of tortilla chips to kick it up a notch. Very cozy and lively atmosphere and the staff was very friendly. Definitely recommend this restaurant and avoid the massive crowds at the main JJ's Lodge.

Good pita. Salty pretzel. Rubbed the salt of the pretze to make it less salty. It got all over my fries and then they were too salty. Didn't eat them spoiled my meal
