Another wonderful Thanksgiving at the Red Lion Inn! Special thanks to the incredibly warm and friendly wait staff.

The food was delicious, the wine(Daou) was smooth and one to remember. Our waiter was attentive to our needs and wasn't intrusive. We did find the prices to be very high for one person. $115 maybe for two but one? High.

Perfect place to enjoy the fire on a chilly day before dining. Smashed burger was amazing, service good. Love this place

Difficult to make a dinner reservation for a 1:30 lunch. Atmosphere won. Drinks and appetizers tasted very good. The main course was served after a long delay, and cooked as ordered, but cold. Empty cocktail glasses were not bused until dessert was served. My guest had no fork. My steak knife came at the end of our meal. This event was a birthday celebration for two people. In the computer reservation, I was asked if there was anything special Red Lion could provide. My answer was "a smile and a candle". We got neither. This was very out of character for the Red Lion Inn. I hope it was "just a bad day". Ilse Godfrey

Food - in terms both quality and presentation - was very disappointing. The salmon was not fresh, was over cooked (asked for medium rare but got well done) and the side of greens tasted fishy, and the small portion was placed in an unappetizing way on the plate. Red Lion boasts of being a fine dining destination. My partner's duck was cold and the sides were equally pitiful. At their price point, the food should be much better and more care should be taken to quality and service.

The Red Lion Inn is fabulous (especially the brown sugar cake). We were there for lunch and I did miss the bread basket they used to offer. I had salmon and it was cooked to perfection. My husband had the chicken pot pie, which is his customary order.

Food was excellent, the service flawless, the ambiance calm and inviting. My book club friends and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Can't wait to have lunch there again!

Food was slow coming out, kids had fish and chips and the fries were cold and very overcooked/dry. My husband had the turkey sandwich and said it would have been much better if it was served warm. I had the chicken pot pie which was little more than a cup of soup with a puff pastry on top, did not reflect the price point. For one of the few places to eat in Stockbridge, it was disappointing. Unlikely to return.

The chicken pot pie was not baked. The serving was a cup of chicken soup with a puff pastry on top. For 22.00 this was a disgrace, should be considered an appetizer. The manager told me many people had the same complaint going back 2 years. A guest overheard my conversation and later told me 2 people at her table ordered this entree and were hungry after eating it. Why has this premier restaurant not changed the portion and preparation , removed from menu or made it an appetizer is puzzling.

Always a wonderful time. The atmosphere is unmatched. The food and drinks are delicious. Just a charming Berkshire inn and restaurant.
We've loved the Red Lion for years. However, the food that they were so well known for has drastically changed. Turkey sandwich is now filled with processed turkey. The chicken pot pie was the size of a fist and average at best. We have friends who no longer come due to the poor food. What a shame. The wait staff is great. Very good service and of course the wonderful ambiance.

Red Lion Inn is a wonderful Old-Fashioned establishment filled with antiques and ambiance of another time...a very fine place to visit... Dining is equally Old-Fashioned with a menu packed with New England favorites. I recommend. Reservations suggested. Enjoy!

Beautiful old restaurant in historic hotel. Food and service were great. Ambiance is romantic. Guilded Age beautiful.

20 minutes after we first sat down we were offered water, 80 minutes after we sat down our food finally arrived. We were starving at this point. The dining room was busy for a Thursday at 1pm. We had reservations and noted it was a special celebratory occasion. Family members who couldn't attend purchased champagne for the table and had we not known it, it would have never been brought or offered to us. They seemed very understaffed, service was poor. Food was ok, nothing to rave about. Our table had caprese sandwich which was dry and needed more balsamic, pesto etc; salmon was very small portion and veg medley was just ok. I'd recommend dining elsewhere.

It's time for these lovely old restaurants to start serving interesting food. I love going to the Red Lion and restaurants like it but am tired of them offering the same food for decades. You have to overlook the food because it is boring and tasteless. Food has come a long way in recent years. I think they should change the menu to something different. I still love you Red Lion!
