New American Restaurants near Housatonic, MA

“This is open-kitchen, seasonally based, well informed dining at its best. The owner/chef knows his wines. Beautiful, balanced food and platings, not precious, and convivial atmosphere. There is a Lake Tahoe by the fire vibe to it that I like. Top three places to eat on the Lennox to Great Barrington itinerary.“

“My daughter and I were absolutely amazed with the food at Alta, the excellent customer service and the lovely atmosphere. We are definitely coming back. Alta is all about fine cuisine.“

“Visiting our daughter, we came to Cello for dinner…what an amazing choice!! From the moment you walk in, you are greeted by the warm smiles of both Kim and Ryan…the inviting smells of delicious food and the cozy atmosphere….from our drinks to the desserts, our experience was so wonderful! Starting with the warm corn bread and soft butter, the sweet and savory ribs, and the perfect stack of onion rings to the delicious homemade pasta dishes - the ramp pesto or the boar ragu——we are still raving about the amazing flavors! We will definitely be back!!!“

“This place was amazing!! It was "date night". We were both very satisfied with the place, our food and our interactions with employees. We started with the fried potato pancakes, Delicious!! He had the chicken and waffles and I had the Cali BLT w/ onion rings. The portions are great and the prices are right!! I definitely recommend checking them out.“

“Beautiful cozy atmosphere in the dining room. The host (owner?) was very friendly and made us feel right at home. One of our kids broke a glass and he made jokes while cleaning it up. It's clear that this place is a passion project. The food was delicious. Overall it's a pretty fancy place. We paid just under $200 plus tip for a family of five.“

“Listened to a talented blues band while enjoying an excellent Mezcal cocktail called the Oaxacanite, an Elk chop dinner served with mashed sweet potatoes and seasonal veggies. Excellently orchestrated, great comfortable setting, tasty food with good service.“

“There were 17 of us for dinner! The food was absolutely delicious! Our waitress was Linda, she couldn't have been nicer or more attentive if she tried! She took care of us very, very well! Anything we needed, she was right on it pretty much before we even knew we needed it. I'd ask for her any time we eat here and we will certainly be back! Again, thank you Linda it really was our pleasure having you take care of us! The Klondike Crew.“

“Really incredible dinner here. The mushroom soup was something I’ll be thinking about for a long time. Really enjoyed the arancini and the salmon was cooked phenomenally. Walked in on a Friday night at 7 and were able to grab a perfect spot at the bar right away. Bartenders were attentive and the food hit the spot. All the staff were very friendly and welcoming and we had a dinner to remember. Als great back bar.“

“They somehow managed to combine the friendliness of a local pub with the food of a fine restaurant. Highly recommend this gem. Havent tried the pizza place nectdoor but the wood fired oven makes pizza that looks delicious. I am a beer drinker but the cocktails look great! No, its not cheap but qhat is these days?“

“My husband and I stopped here in our way through Lee, MA. From the older gentleman that greeted us with a sparkle in his eye when he smiled and a great sense of humor to the wait staff ... everyone was lovely, personable and accommodating. My husband had the duck and I had the fish and chips. They came quickly and both were so delicious! The fries were especially good! Our cheese cake was equally as good! Thank-you Morgan House for a great kick off to our 52nd anniversary ! Highly recommend !“

“Just the experience we hoped for!“

“The best Rueban sandwich I’ve ever had.“
