OMG we had the most surreal and best experience at Cafe Triskele!! Excellent service from Gilbert, the owner, himself. He was warm, kind, and generous! Apple tart was hot and delicious - wish I could have another! Intimate indoor ambiance with plenty of space. 10/10! read more

This is my second time coming to this restaurant. We drove 45 mins to get here so clearly we really love this place. All of the food is fresh and you can tell it is made with love. The service is incredible and all of their staff is friendly. I am a big escargot fan and their butter garlic sauce is divine. We will be back again. read more

Gilbert's duck a l'orange is the best duck ever! And such nice people. They make everone feel welcome. For someone alone, or for just two people, it's fun to sit at their small bar and chat with guests and staff. read more

We always have a wonderful dinner here. The mussels were a real treat. They have a great wine list and the service is always attentive.

Going to the Berkshires for 40 years. This is easily the best food I've ever had here, it's not even close. My brother and I had the pasta with grilled shrimp and capers (amazing). One of my friends had the Skate and another had Corbina. Impressive !! A bit expensive, but you get what you pay for. read more

in the past swe we're patrons of this restauranT. We have not been there for some time. We were quit disappointed. We expressed our disappointment, though they gave us other dishes the replacement wasn't much better. We paid the check and expressed our thanks to the server Quietly. The owner (chef?). Confronted us angriLy and basically asked us to leave. we never once raised our voices. Summing up- inadequate food, poor management read more

Food in general OK but certainly in no way worth a detour. Waitress very pleasant but owner/manager must have had dyspepsia as he was very sour and unfriendly. The gall to charge $2.00 for substituting Swiss for sharp cheddar on their burger says it all! read more

Rachel is a warm and wonderful waitress. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed the mussels and the desserts. Sometimes it can be hard to get a reservation but this time we were able to get there early and walk in. Last time we went-we were with a big group inside and the service was equally as good as well as the steak and lamb chops and many of the desserts! You sure surely give this place a try. read more

We got a reservation here when nothing else was available. It's unclear why we were able to get a table, as the food and service were both fantastic. We were welcomed warmly, seated quickly, and informed of the specials they were running low on so that we could get our orders in if interested. They had some excellent alcoholic and NA beverage options, and something (or several somethings) on the menu for everyone. Service was fast without being too fast, and attentive without being intrusive. Finally, the food was delicious. We had lamb, mussels in an Indian curry, baked cod in a cheesy dish, and a fancy burger. All were excellent. Prices were reasonable for a special occasion, parking was easy, and the staff were friendly. We'll definitely be returning! read more

Lovely cute nice cozy banquets Food was very good we had the cheese plate which was delish The trout almondine- delish and a few salads, also really good. Mine drinks were tasty. Only complaint- we were in and out in an hour. Meal was $200. No biggie but we each had two drinks and could have used a little more lingering time. Still I would go back and recommend read more

Food was phenomenal, service was on point. The manager was very welcoming and very helpful with suggesting wine to go with our meals. Will definitely return. read more

The escargot was fantastic as an appetizer, I got the mussels in the curry sauce and it was perfectly seasoned and flavorful . The warm apple tart tatin finished off a wonderful dining experience. Definitely would recommend read more

We could've gone back south to Great Barrington from our hotel in Lee, MA and driven the almost 20 minutes to a restaurant I peeked out the last time we were in the area, but decided to stay close by. And Triskele's French cooking, is one of the reasons why. The stars are all aligning for Triskele's French Chef and owner Gilbert, offering a comfortable, homey setting with incredible tasting food for this area. There are 3 dining rooms- 2 of those facing Main St. the other closer to the parking lot entrance with a softly-lit bar area. You can book through Resy which I noticed after I reserved by phone- but either way, you'll receive text reservation details and reminder. You'd be hard pushed to find a bad review here. Food is as good as you can expect from Triskele- think good tasting unfussy and hearty plates with a good dose of French music in the background. Our Sidecar and Cosmo cocktails were great and packed a TKO. The Beurre Blanc sauce in my Salmon dish was a bit loose- but extremely tasty. Hubs enjoyed his medium-rare rack of lamb and raved about the seasoned crust- even after we finished. He also felt the lamb was so tasty- that he didn't have the need to use the chutney/relish(?) it came with. Service was great! Margarite is a perfect blend of attentive and personal and Gilbert greeted us with the warmest smeyes as we headed out. Nice standout. read more

I cannot recommend Cafe Triskele enough for their outstanding food and service. We hosted a surprise birthday party in one of their private rooms, and from the start of the planning to the end, working with Rebecca was enjoyable, professional and she made the event feel personal. The vibe itself is like no other restaurant in The Berkshires. The decor is classic and the colors are soothing. You can tell a lot of time and thought went into each decision-- it's beautiful. The food is beyond out of this world. As someone with allergies, I felt safe and confident with the staff's knowledge about the menu and food preparations. I cannot recommend the trout enough with the mashed potatoes being the best I've ever had. Also, their specialty cocktails hit the spot and the wines were a hit. Rebecca made the cake (with fresh flowers from TownshipFour) and it was stunning! The flavor, texture and presentation were on point and gorgeous. Her passion reflected in the quality and execution of the cake. This was the first time coming to Cafe Triskele and I will be back again and again. It is my new favorite spot. read more

Good food. Had the Duck confetti and asparagus. Wife had the steak and our guests had sausage. Sauces on each dish were the high point. Duck tender, sausage mild! Service was great ! Cozey sit down . read more

My food tasted pretty good going down although I had trouble cutting the chicken. However #1: I was quite sick with diarrhea and vomiting during the night afterwards. However #2, which barely counts after #1: the service was very slow once ordered for lack of enough waitresses. We've eaten there in the past, and it was fine; BUT NEVER AGAIN read more

You know that phrase: "This is not my first rodeo"? Well, this was not my first time to Triskele. This is probably my fourth. It's been a favorite Go-To dinning experience when meeting friends who travel up from NYC. The food has always been fantastic (you have to try the escargot at least once; it's amazing. I can't specifically recommend any of the main entrees as between the four of us, we've had them all. Never disappointed in the preparation or presentation. This time (this past weekend) the service was a wee bit down compared to other times. The staff was very friendly (as it always has been), but traffic out of the kitchen seemed to be off a bit. Certainly would put it on the list to go back to. read more

I am sad to say that I can no longer give them five stars. I used to rank this as one of my top three Berkshire restaurants. But no more. First, the prices have really jumped. Last night I ordered sole that cost $44. Really? It was good but not that good. And, they have started to nickel and dime the patrons. $5 to share a salad? $3 per substitution? Really? The menu is less inspired than it used to be. And, while this was five stars, it is not there now. read more

Really wanted to love this restaurant. We had loved its predecessor in this location. The owner was friendly and welcoming and our server was excellent but the food was disappointing. The sauce for the Mussels Merinier was watery instead of rich. The portion of frites that I was served did not even fill the container ( $10) The asparagus was overcooked. ($14) Finally, the pastry was a bit stale. ($12), overpriced and underwhelming. read more

Great restaurant, fantastic service, very friendly owners! The food was perfectly prepared. It was a little crowded, but we're New Yorkers, we can handle noise and crowds! read more

Service: Below one star for a restaurant advertised as nice with the prices they have. The food took forever to come out, and then we sat for over a half an hour with empty plates on our table, waiting for our server. It was a Wednesday and not at all busy. Huge contrast from high-end places like the Old Mill. It appears they don't train their staff. Food: 50% of the food was ok. Hidden fees and service charges all over. The prosciutto was old tasting and dry. The lamb was cold. Not shocked to see the Sysco truck pull up for a delivery as the food was pretty low quality. My kids eat real food and did not want butter noodles from the menu. So I got them a legitimate appetizer and was charged a split plate fee of $5 because I did not buy an entrée for my seven year old. Ambience: Again, the prices lead you to believe it's a high-end restaurant but the interior is not exactly comfortable. It's a restaurant in a converted house. It's a short jump away from having dinner at Grandma's house with fresh paint on the walls. There are significantly better places. If you want good French food, go to Once Upon a Table and if you want good service, the Old Mill is the best. read more

Lovely meal with excellent service. We will be back. It's also nice that there is off-street parking available.

Wonderful birthday dinner. French onion soup and duck confit superb. The server and manager were sweetly attentive bringing small key lime pie withe candle to the table with candle. They made my birthday extra special! Will absolutely return! read more

We have been coming here summer after summer and it never disappoints. This visit, the Rośe and steak/frittes hit the spot. Eating at the bar, Eugene made sure we felt welcomed and rounded out a great experience. read more

My husband and I were shocked by how good our experience was. We just went to Paris in April, and these dishes were better than ones we had there. You cannot go wrong with the shepherd's pie made with lamb or the beef bourguignon. Just do it. read more

We had a very lovely meal at Triskele, seated in their large outdoor tented patio. The staff was sweet and lovely. We had delicious rack of lamb. The vibe is relaxed but refined. Clearly popular -- quite a number of people when we were there read more

Overall experience was okay, not great. We had a reservation for a dinner on a weeknight. The restaurant was empty when we got there and the hostess seated us right away. However, we felt we were being rushed to order and wasn't able to really enjoy our meal. I ordered a bubbly and wanted to start with some cheese with my drink while we look at the menu. However our server said he needed us to order everything at the same time and they will time it to bring out the courses. Guess what? The cheese and our appetizers came out the same time. For appetizers we tried the Escargot and Duck Rillettes, both were just okay and underwhelmed. Escargot was a bit salty as well. For main course, I had the special of the day Duck leg which was pretty tasty and tendered. My hubby ordered the Rack of Lamb and he said it was not bad. read more

We found Cafe Triskele while staying in Lee at the Chambery Inn, it was a short walk from the inn and recommended by the inn's owners. We arrived to find a lovely, upscale-country restaurant with outdoor seating available; however, dining al fresco in the early evening heat & humidity was unappealing so we opted to sit inside. We were promptly greeted and seated, and water was quickly delivered to the table. The menu selections leaned to a French influence, but basic burgers and a child's menu were also available. We started with french onion soup and escargot for appetizers, and both were fantastic. For entrees we had a filet and lamb chops. The filet was cooked rare as ordered, but the beef was not as tender as I had hoped. The lamb chops were pure perfection with a unique and tasty variation of scalloped potatoes. The dessert menu looked fantastic, but even though the air conditioning was on, in a restaurant full of people it wasn't keeping up. We were so hot and miserable that we couldn't wait to pay our bill and retreat to somewhere cooler. It appears that the restaurant is cooled by mini-split units, and a second one is probably needed in that section. In spite of the heat, the meal was fantastic, the wine list more than adequate, and the service was only slightly below expectations because our server was new. Definitely recommend and would return! read more

This Lovely French and Irish owned with a great menu and carefully prepared dishes. The atmosphere is warm, uncluttered and tasteful. The wait staff were friendly knowledgeable and well seasoned. Prices were reasonable and wonderful quality French fair along with some Irish influences. The co-owner pastry chef Rebekah does a crack job!

Sorry they never made it to the pictures they were delicious you can also have a cup of espresso to finish your meal. We will definitely be back and happy to support such a wonderful family owned and run restaurant to far from home. read more

The service is excellent but that's as far as it goes. They were out of a few things that a lot of us wanted. There were 9 in our party. My rack of lamb was tough and even my knife had trouble. My wife's sirloin strip was tough also. Her Virgin Mary glass was filled to the top with ice so she had just a sip. Waitress offered another but it came back plain tomato juice. Escargot was fine. Onion soup used wrong cheese. My coffee was barely warm. Didn't ask others about their food because this was a party and didn't want to spoil the vibes. read more

Before I get to the delicious food, let me tell you about the wonderful service. I came with a party of 5 (it was my daughter's and son-in-law's birthday). We were quickly seated next to a table that had six very boisterous patrons. I asked is we could change table and within five minutes we were seated at a lovely, quiet table. The people that run this restaurant were so helpful and quickly agreed to change our table. No fuss, no begging. The food was delicious. Two people in my party had the strip steak and two had the rack of lamb. I had the trout. Everything was delicious. It is very rare to find a restaurant with such wonderful service and delicious food. I can't recommend this restaurant highly enough. read more

Looks like this place changed ownership and name (previously Chez Nous), but kept the Yelp reviews from the old management, which seems to be why there's such a discrepancy between my review (3) and the average (4.5). This place tried to pass as a fancy establishment and succeeds in some regards (homey atmosphere, elegantly dressed staff, respectable menu items) but often fumbled the delivery (some flavorless menu items, often small portions, and small service quirks). My food: Clam Chowder - Creamy soup with bits of clam, this chowder was delightful. Truly comfort food, this dish served as a nice appetizer. There were also a few crackers within the soup, which managed to stay pretty crunchy even when submerged. Steak Bistro - Ordered medium, this steak was cooked appropriately and covered in a subtle sauce that really enhanced the flavor. Overall, the steak was really good, albeit small. The sides, however, were lacking. First, the portions were very meager and were in no way comparable to the NY Strip portion of salad/fries. Second, the potatoes were just not tasty; they were merely flavorless, uninspired filler food. Dark Chocolate Mousse Torte - This was delicious. Everything about this was great; the mouse was rich and the cake was thin but dense (in the best way). The ice cream that accompanied it was perfect -- seemed to be an espresso ice cream with crunchy bits inside. The dish also had some crunchies that tasted like pie crust bits. Well done. Samplings (items I tasted): The crunchy cheese layer was the main highlight in the French Onion Soup; the actual soup was quite bland / tasteless. The NY Strip was nicely done and tender with a tasty grill flavor. The fries in the dish were plentiful, well seasoned, and fluffy in the middle. The only thing was that the fries lacked crispiness -- overall good, but could use a bit of improvement there. The creme brulee was very good as well. The sugared nuts/whipped cream were a nice touch and the creme brulee had a good consistency. The maple flavor wasn't as strong as expected though. Small Service Quirk: I ordered a prosecco, which came as a mini bottle and a glass, so I has to open and pour it. Maybe it's just me, but I wish it just came as a glass full of prosecco. Price: 2/5 Quality: 3/5 Quantity: 3/5 Atmosphere: 4/5 Service: 4/5 read more
