First time trying a French restaurant, and now I want more. Food was excellent, rich, delicate and varied. They offer half portions for dinner which I thought was really helpful. Service was excellent, staff are knowledgeable and available. Would return in a heartbeat. read more

My wife and I have been to Chez Nous many times. We have NEVER been disappointed. The food and service are outstanding. You feel like you're in a bistro in Brittany. If you are in the Berkshires, try it. read more

We always try to get here when in the area. The atmosphere is lovely, service terrific and food delicious. It's great that they serve half portions of entrees - I feel free to order an appetizer and dessert and get to taste it all. The chicken was excellent quality, preparation fine. Salad was tasty and the signature blondie dessert worth the calories and big enough to share. read more

There are no words to express the exceptionality of Chez Nous. In full disclosure, I've been here before and had an equally stellar review. But the fact that they continue to pass that bar every time is amazing. The crispy perfection of the trout skin, the depth of umami in the escargot, the consistent deliciousness of the pâté, topped by a crescendo of sticky toffee -- all so amazing! I can't express enough how this truly is THE spot in the Berkshires. read more

We were highly recommended to this restaurant. Service was slow to initiate. Ordered a salad without onions and anchovies. When salad came it came with onions When I told the waiter I asked for no onions he took it away and when it came back it has anchovies. Oh boy. My husbands dish was tasty but the chicken was dry. Overall was by impressed. Dessert was good. Berry and peach cobbler. Took 10 minutes. It would be good to know this at beginning of meal donut can be ordered ahead. It was very warm in the restaurant bar ate where it was the only place they has available read more

We have enjoyed Chez Nous many times over the years and last night was no exception. The good times start with the quiet ambiance. It feels so civilized and relaxed without loud music blaring all evening. The warm rolls with butter tasted like they were baked special for you. Server Mark did his best to refill the bread basket and accommodate us in any way possible. The cauliflower/leek soup topped with walnut oil and scallions, piping hot, was big enough to share. The SMALL PLATES menu is ideal. My husband had baby lamb chops cooked to perfection, as was my duck. We were able to substitute some of the side dishes, enabling me to have the best French fries with aioli and my husband to enjoy a sweet potato pudding. For dessert - of course we shared- the flourless chocolate cake with ginger ice-cream and a milk chocolate crunch. I suggest small plates for desserts. Why not? It works for the main course. Or a sampler so you can try a few desserts. Service is efficient and friendly without feeling rushed. Prices are reasonable. Chez Nous is a treasure in the Berkshires. read more

We eat here often because the food, ambiance and service are consistently excellent. My wife and I shared a tasty salad and she had a delicious lamb shank for a main course. I had a delicious duck cooked to perfection with an unusual orange and chocolate sauce. For dessert we shared a lemon posset (custard) and a macaroon shortcake with berries. It was possible to have 2 desserts because I had a half portion of the duck, something available for most entrees though not the lamb shank. The chef is always accommodating about substitutions since my wife is gluten free and I prefer vegetables to rice or potatoes. They also have gluten-free rolls which my wife loves especially with the olive oil they will provide. All in all a most enjoyable and relaxing evening at a reasonable price! read more

The staff is really good,food wonderful the best steak I ate, The salad was really great, dessert so so good , I will be back read more

We had an enjoyable dinner hear during the week. The staff was extremely attentive and pleasant. A lentil and porcini soup was excellent, as were the raw oysters. A coq au vin was good, not great. The duck two ways was excellent - done just right. Atmosphere is ok - not very french - we ate a the bar, which was nice except the stools were huge, heavy, rustic, wooden affairs. I would go back. read more

Went for the Berkshire grown meal, which we did not get, but the meals we did have were great! A lot of the other things on the menu were local and great! Can not leave without dessert... We had 4 and they were all super ! Overall good food! read more

They really like to bake gluen free bread and desserts. Their French food is light and quite good. You should reserve if you are eating supper before Tanglewood. read more

Excellent pâté, pistou, confit de canard, mussels, and coquille St Jacques. Summer seating on the front terrace very nice indeed. Nice cocktails, excellent wine list with some classy Bordeaux. read more

Restaurant came well recommended and we were not disappointed.lobster special appetizer was great. A beet and something soup was unusual and very good. 2 of our group had the trout special and raved about it. I had 2 lobster appetizers for a main and was very happy. Hans had the scallops and raved as well. Only complaint was the noise level but we chose to sit inside due to the weather. Definitely a very interesting and well thought out menu and specials read more

We stayed in the Lee, MA for two nights and we ate at Chez Nous BOTH nights! That's how much we enjoyed the food, service and ambiance of Chez Nous. We looked through many reviews before choosing Chez Nous and asked friends for recommendations. Chez Nous was at the top of the list. The staff was warm and friendly and the dining area was warm too. We were happy to meet owner/pastry chef Rachel who spoke to us about wine choices and her delicious desserts. The half plate options were fabulous so that we could enjoy two of the entree choices. The food was top-notch and we still rave about the duck with chocolate and cherry wine sauce. Every entree was delicious and served perfectly. We were delighted to meet the owner/chef Franck as we left and praised him and Rachel for their success at Chez Nous. We'll go back. read more

A local favorite with an interesting "local" menu and a friendly, welcoming staff. A must if your in the Berkshires for a visit or if your a local from NYC. read more

Fabulous food. Amazing Desserts. Never disappoints. Owners are warm and lovely, Menu is creative and varied. Service is superb. It's a don't miss for us every year! Lissa read more

Excellent food, service & outstanding quality of food served!

As others have written, I don't know what took me so long to stop in for dinner. I drive by 2x day 5 days a week. Finally, we went on a recent Friday night. Small menu but oh wow, the quality and taste of the food is anything but small. Creative and well executed dishes. Four stars instead of five due to slow service and average ambiance. read more

This was the best! Love the idea of the half plates, which is exactly the size of our meals at home. I had the cod and my husband had the scallops and then we shared the dark chocolate and hazelnut fudge cake with ice cream - to die for! The service was excellent, so was the ambiance and the chef was even happy to provide the recipe for the dessert. An outstanding experience and well worth repeating. read more

Out-Standing!! Authentic!! Unbelievably Good!!! After having such a horrible brunch experience at Aiello's in Lee, my husband & I were unsure about having an expensive dinner in the same area. However, Chez Nous is worth every penny!!! My husband and I enjoyed a romantic dinner, in a quite corner of this adorable establishment. Their service is incredible. The waitress was professional attentive, and knowledgeable about their food and wine selections. Their French cuisine is authentic and delicious. Every aspect of this meal, from the wine, to the Bouillabaisse, to the Marscapone Tart was just divine!! My husband was happy with everything he ordered as well. Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a really special dining experience!! read more

Good: The lamb was excellent, and the rest of the meal good. The service was good as well. Not: The dining area we were in (the room right at the top of the stairs, kind of looks like a porch that was converted to inside space) lacked in ambiance, and was very noisy. read more

The food... the atmosphere... and the service was exquisite. What more can I say? If you are ever in the area and have the opportunity and good fortune to experience this local gem... you'll understand. read more

Went there late Friday night after long travel day. Excellent food and service. We've been going there for several years and have always been pleased. Perfect way to start a week vacation in the Berkshires. Half size portions are great if you're having a late dinner or just want to have room for great starters and dessert. Recommend mussels in white wine and garlic (appetizer special that night) and scallops. read more

Our first meal of the season at one of our Favorites. The ambience, service and above all the food is way above the norm. They serve 1/2 main portions which suited us just fine. We had Scallops, Halibut, and Duck and 2 different appetizer salads. The variety was perfect. We cannot wait to return. read more

We have been to Chez Nous multiple times over 15 years and it continues to delight. It is our go-to restaurant in the Berkshires. Whether simple steak or short ribs, lamb tagine, shank or stew, duck breast or on the bone, chicken, salmon,trout or cod, each of which we've had in a variety of preparations from time to time, the food has always satisfied so very deeply. Franck is simply a genius with his sauces, reductions, accompaniments and sides. And the desserts do not take a back seat - they absolutely sparkle. Rachel has experimented with different flavors over the years and although I am a confirmed chocoholic (and her chocolate desserts are awesome), I can't resist her einkorn desserts either. I also taste the variety of non-chocolate desserts my wife prefers - all wonderful. The wine list offers some gems as well as a number of lesser but solid wines as well, all reasonably priced. The service is warm, careful and attentive. If I sound like a groupie, perhaps I am. But if you go, I suspect you will become one also. read more

We were visiting Berkshires and Chez Nous was suggested as one of the better restaurants in the area. We didn't have reservations, which we should have. We walked in around 5:50 pm on Sunday. The maitre de (not very friendly) asked if we reserved. He said he could sit us at bar, or, would be willing to seat us if we could be out by 7:20 for a 7:30 seating. We sat. The good part was that the food was excellent. I had sirloin steak that came with haricot vert and sweet potato fries..Cooked medium/rare. Exceptional taste. My husband had duck that had light kumquat sauce. For dessert just had a buttermilk biscuit with strawberries which was light. We were out of there by 7:00 pm which was the time people did start to come in. Suggestion is to make reservations in advance..so you are treated better when you arrive! read more

Really nice and friendly restaurant. I like that you can go upscale or eat more familiar fare, such as hamburgers and fries. Everything was prepared beautifully. read more

Fantastic French / European restaurant. Nice, straightforward decor. Terrific service - attentive & friendly, but not obtrusive. Pâté sampler was outstanding - almost German (which we love.) Crab au gratin appetizer with focaccia was great. Fillet with gnocci was terrific. scallops were very good, if just a tad done too long. Very nice fruit crumble desert. In all, highly recommended. read more

Absolutely fantastic - especially for someone who has to be gluten free. Hot, fresh GF rolls (amazing!) and some nontraditional dessert options a bonus. I had the mesclun salad and lamb stew, my husband the salmon tartare and filet. All delicious. I'll vacation in the berkshires again if for no other reason than to eat here. read more

My husband and I stayed in a B&B nearby and came here for our anniversary dinner. We were so impressed! It was small inside, and a bit crowded, but certainly romantic. The food and service were outstanding! I have celiac's disease, and was so impressed with their gluten free options. They offered warm dinner rolls, toast with our cheese platter and even delicious gluten free desserts. We both had the filet, and they were wonderful. The wine list was decent, and my husband was very happy with our red wine. Our server was extremely attentive and helpful, and the manager checked in with us throughout dinner. We had made reservations for our anniversary, and they even wrote "happy anniversary" in chocolate on our dessert plate -- a very special touch. We will certainly be going back the next time we're in the area. read more

Great food. Cooked perfectly . Service was friendly and prompt. Certainly one of the best in the Berkshires! read more

Easy reservation program. Varied menu with specialities of the day. Choices on entrees sizes. Nice wine variety. Service. Good size staff for quick delivery of apps and entrees. Staff polite and knowledgeable of the menu, and the area. Great experience. Will return read more

The food at Chez Nous is absolutely delicious. The atmosphere reminds me of an old folks restaurant. Which is fine. The only thing not fine was the service. We waited a very. Very long time for every type of service, the whole time we were at the table. I would give the place another try however, because the food is so good. read more

Rather disappointing! Been coming here for many years, always pleased with food. Not this time....expected usual delicious steak, did not happen! Ordered a dessert.....$9.50 for 2 mounds of whipped creme and a slice of cake no bigger than my thumb.....expensive and not worth it....RH 7/6/18 read more

Great variety on the menu and fabulous service. The food was great too! Loved the option of a 122 portion for the main course. A definite winner. read more

My wife and I have had many great experiences at Chez Nous and Thursday night was another one. They had softshell crab as an appetizer my wife wanted it as a main course they said no problem. As always great service and amazing food!!! read more

Off to a shakey start with the hostess and the reserved seating situation. However within a few mins the owner took over and rescued the experience. The food was the best ever. Duck mouthwatering tender. Lamb done to perfection. The owners recommended wine choice was suburb. Our waitress was knowledgeable about the different cheeses, and her attentive service was probably the best I've experienced. I really appreciate the half size order! read more

I had dinner there December 3, 2010. The owner came over to greet us (Rachel) and was very friendly, helpful. Prices are on the high side, but when you consider you are getting good home made food, you have to appreciate it. Many chains give you pre-frozen or pre-cooked meals that get a sprinkle of parsley after they're warmed up. My dining companion had a seafood meal (I don't like fish) but said it was great. I forget what I specifically had, but it was free range chicken, fresh vegetables, and a pasta with a sauce that had parsnips in it. It was very tasty. I also have a somewhat indecisive stomach and was thrilled not to get any indigestion from this meal. Coffee was excellent, the home made chocolate tart by Rachel was incredible. We did not have any appetizers. With a cocktail for each of us, splitting a dessert and the entrees, dinner was about $100. The home made bread was very good. read more

Everything was amazing! Eating here after we tried it last year for the fist time. (My sister wrote a review below) Yes, last year we ran into some issues. But not this time! I am happy that we came back because the food and service was outstanding! Every dish was tasty and good sized. Save room for dessert (or for two). There are so many choices and can be gluten free! I left with a full belly but still wanted more. I cannot wait to be back in the area and go again! read more

First off, I'm picky about food and the places I eat when I dine out. I've traveled to many parts of the world and eaten in five star restaurants with food prepared by world class chefs. So understand that what I'm about to write is based on a lot of experience sampling dishes prepared by the masters. I recently returned from a weekend at Tanglewood and the Inn where I was staying recommended Chez Nous and even called ahead to let them know I was coming. Given that this is the height of the summer season and with no reservation, I was skeptical about getting in but upon arriving, I was told that there would be a seat at the bar. Sure enough, within a minute, I was seated. Even though the restaurant was packed, Randi my server, was as gracious and polite as someone could be under those circumstances (she was not only taking orders at the bar but helping the staff with wine and other assorted orders for tablegoers). In fact, as I discovered over the course of the evening, this is a first class wait and table staff that treats everyone with care and dignity. You don't find that in many restaurants these days and it is something I care a lot about. I started off ordering the House pate with a G&T - smooth, tasty and fresh. Some of the best pate I've ever had and the bread that went with it was superb. I honestly thought about ordering a second portion, it was that good! For an entree, I ordered veal tenderloin. I asked Randi if they chef could cook it medium but on the rare side. Well, they must have been reading my mind because it was perfectly cooked, tender, juicy and oh so great! I couldn't have asked for a better dish. For dessert, I was encouraged to try the dark chocolate mousse. Being a chocoholic, it took me all of five seconds to agree. The mousse came with a carmel sauce, a bit salty for me but it really brought out the flavor. This was as light and flavorful a mousse as I have ever tasted. Rachel, who is co-owner of Chez Nous and bakes the desserts explained how she has really perfected this dessert over time and wow, it shows. If you love chocolate, order this dessert. You'll be in for a treat. Finally, a word about the staff. They work hard to make this a culinary experience you won't soon forget. Chez Nous isn't just a restaurant; it is like visiting a home in Paris or Fountainbleau where the hosts go to great lengths to make sure you are happy with your meal. As an example, you can eat gluten free, vegan or just about any combination that will fit your dietary needs. I don't know why anyone would say anything negative about Chez Nous. Simply put, you won't find a better dining experience in the Berkshires. read more
