A bit disappointing. We began with bland pumpkin soup and olive tapenade served with sliced baguette. My duck entree was overly drenched in sauce. The toffee bread pudding was alright, nothing special. We thought the service was nice. Overall, we are not in a hurry to return. read more

New owners with excellent credentials have taken the helm. Our meal last night was intentionally kept simple, steaks with a version of sauce Bordelaise. Cooked exactly as ordered. My wife's roasted potatoes should have been served hot, not room temperature. My frites were served fresh and hot, as they should. The wine we chose we agreed was very well matched to the food. The husband and wife team now at the helm will hopefully add new menu items. We are hoping (Hint! Hint!) to eventually taste the signature cassoulet whose reputation precedes them. All in all, they have hit the ground running. We are expecting a lot given the talent of the two chefs. So far we are pleased. read more

Fresh! We sat on their outdoor deck and the scent of herbs and fresh food greeted us! Everything was delicious. One of our guests had just woken up from a nap and the sense stirred her to fully embrace the wonderful meal. The gentleman had the duck, we also had a salad, at the table the ravioli as an hors d'oeuvres and the veggie beet burger, sharing the also perfect fries. Even the decorative greens were delicious; our plates were cleaned. And the desserts also exquisite, two key lime cheese cakes & a brownie. The service was superb, willing to answer, encouraging our questions. It was a vacation splurge & worth every penny! read more

delicious onion soup. lovely trout. the friendlies servers. reasonably priced very, very enjoyable.

Great Service ... Great food. Excellent wine list . They have a private room that we recently hosted my mother's 76th birthday with the family.... Scallops we're perfectly cooked, filet mignon cooked to perfection,. Everyone was very happy with everything. Great for the family. Book a table in advance on Yelp . read more

Recently, Cafe Triskele changed ownership. While we really liked the previous owners and the restaurant (Chez Nous, then Triskele) the new owners have brought a fresh menu to their restaurant. We started with the moules-frites sharing these as an appetizer. They were delicious and certainly plentiful enough to share. My wife had the salmon which was very well prepared and delicious. I had the chicken cordon bleu. It was a new item on the menu and was wonderful. For dessert we shared the sticky toffee pudding ( one of my favorite desserts) it was served with Highlawn Farms ice cream. It was the best Sticky toffee pudding I have had since being in England. I highly recommend Cafe Triskele and plan on returning next time we are in the Berkshires. read more

This is a place we loved and went to frequently under the previous owners. It never disappointed. Now we've gone twice under the new owners and it's ok but not great and we sorely miss the old place. The food is pretty good but not great. The dishes don't come with veggies; everything is a la carte. Bread is also not included. The cod casserole is so creamy I could only eat half of it. The duck cassoulet was deemed good by one of my dining partners but left him hungry. The steak, eaten by another in our group was excellent. The menu is quite limited. And the dessert menu, like the regular menu, is very limited and nothing like the amazing dessert menu with the previous owners. read more

Enjoyed perfectly prepared Sea Bream, well flavoured, with summer veggies and good tapenade. Of our two appetisers the pate selection was the more appealing-rillettes, pâté de Campagne, smooth chicken liver mousse, presented with cornichon, toast and fruity conserve. Delicious Lemon Posset pot for dessert. Buttermilk cake, filled with peaches, and blueberry sauce less satisfying- peaches were lacking "peachiness" though the blueberries were tiny wild variety with intense flavor of those magical tiny berries. Attentive service. Good fare. Good butter and petit delicious rolls. Happily a Thursday night without the overwhelming summer weekend crowds of the Berkshires. Most pleasant. read more

Sat on covered porch about 6.30 on Saturday eve July 23. Lots of flies bothering everyone. Output of air conditioning heating the porch with no fan. Mains took 45 min to come out. Duck confit was very dry. One leg for 35$, too much. The onion soup had a nice thick tasty layer cheese,, crunchy.. soup itself was blah.Lamb chops delicious and server was wonderful.. the l.chops side of brussel sprouts was meager. read more

Stumbled upon this joint my first night in the Berkshires (after a bit of Yelp-sleuthing of course). Got the cheese plate AND the pâté plate because we need all of those things in our lives; how to decide? Half portion of the lamb navarin and full portion of scallops seemed about the same size but both were delicious. Lovely atmosphere in a funky house converted to restaurant, and we scored a spot on the lovely covered patio out front. Also, great cocktails! If you like a good Manhattan... read more

We had reservations here for Valentines Day! We were 6 of us. 3 adults and 3 kids. It was cozy and they sat us at a nice big round table. I started off with the Roasted Butternut Squash Soup, I tried the Pan-Seared Crab & Lobster Cakes they were very good. My son devoured the Roasted New Zealand Lamb Chops, I had the grilled Scottish Salmon which was very tasty. For dessert we tried the Blondie Sundae with Sea Salted Caramel Yum! Also the Dark Chocoalate Pot de Creme. I highly recommend this restaurant for a night out of town in Lee, MA read more

Everything was delicious! We loved the cheese board and a glass of wine. The many courses were well prepared and yummy!! We had the angus burgers with spicy aioli sauce and the peach special salad. read more

Wonderful little restaurant with great staff. They serve bread, butter and olives once you get there, which were delicious. I had the highly recommended special (pork chops), which was probably the best pork chops I've ever had. The chocolate/espresso cake was to die for, too! Love the fact that they offer their mains as half or full plates, which is amazing if you're not super hungry. Awesome spot in the Berkshires! read more

We stopped here and were very impressed by our experience on their outdoor covered deck. Distancing was good, the food was great, and it was a little touch of normal fun in the middle of Covid. read more

We have the most incredible time at Chez Nous this weekend on Sat. The service & food was outstanding! This is a hidden or not so hidden gen & one of my favorite dining experiences in a while. My boyfriend has a Gluten allergy & they were incredibly accommodating. They had the best gluten free rolls to start the meal & all of their dishes can be made gluten free. 4/5 desserts were also gluten free. We had the Pate appetizer, which was excellent! For our main we got half portions of the scallops & the duck, they were rich with flavor & excellently paired with their seasonal wines! Would highly recommend, there is a lot of character & thought put into the menu & experience. We loved it! read more

Did I say outstanding! From the moment we stepped inside, the experience was memorable. From the service to the food, put this little French restaurant on your list when visiting the Berkshire s. read more

most pleasant, satisfying, meal we've had in a long time! oysters excellent. French onion soup excellent. Mojito excellent. Mussels exceptional. mushroom ravioli delicious. Server Amber gets a goof star. we got the trilogy dessert, three remarkable sweets. the chef is a treasure. his wife is both bartender and dessert goddess. Wish we lived nearer! read more

This is a nice little French restaurant. it is comfortable , The food is excellent, and the service is great. We tried the Lamb chops and the coquille Saint Jacques and both were very good. read more

We always have a wonderful meal - and experience - at Chez Nous. We generally eat there 2-3 times a summer. The food is always very high quality, and the service is excellent, as good as you will get a French restaurants in major cities. A couple of things we especially appreciate: 1) most of the main courses are available as half portions, which is always a nice option for those who want a lighter meal, or wish to try two mains 2) we recently ate there with a friend who eats gluten-free, and every one of Rachel's desserts - which are always delicious - was either gluten-free or available gluten-free. This is by far our favorite, and to us, the best restaurant in the Berkshires. read more

Chez Nous is a very pleasant French Restaurant in Lee, Massachusetts. Even though I had a late lunch and wasn't particularly hungry, I went at the request of my better half. We walked in without a reservation and their well trained staff made us feel comfortable and right at home. One of their nicest menu features is most of their entrees are offered in full size or half sized portions. When combined with an appetizer or salad, these are perfect for a reasonably priced summer meal. For my appetizer, I ordered the fried seafood fritters. Four small ones to a plate surrounded by a tasty green sauce. They were delicious. Now I have to admit, my judgement was impaired so I chose the Grilled Pasture Grazed Burger and fries with shaved truffle and garlic aioli. This was an idiotic mistake on two levels because one shouldn't be ordering a Burger in a French restaurant and two, grass fed beef is healthy but dry and the garlicky accoutrements created a large amount of gastronomic byproduct that continually tried to exit their holding area until the next day. The dessert was a stunning Lemon Lavender Posset with a beautifully subtle taste. This was one of the nicest desserts I've had in many years. If you want to try making it at home, they have the recipe on their blog. Its well worth the effort. To sum up everything up, I was a one star patron in a 5 star restaurant. I'll be back soon with a clearer head and a bigger appetite to try their other items. read more

We ordered the New Zealand Lamb chops and the Creekstone Filet Mignone - both were amazing dishes - best we have had. Highly recommend for any one in the Berkshires looking for a phenomenal meal. read more

I try never to leave negative reviews but tonight I have to. I felt rushed from start to finish of my time here. I realize I was a single diner taking up a table, however, my plan had been entree, wine, and if my allergies would allow, dessert. I was taking my time and asking questions about my entree choice in an effort to allow the kitchen the fewest, if any substitutions. I settled on a half order of duck which turned out to be an appetizer sized plate with two small pieces of duck breast, cabbage that tasted of nothing but the sauce on the plate, and a SLICE of roasted sweet potato. One slice! Thankfully, after feeling so rushed from the get go, I had not ordered wine and did not even consider dessert. Also thankful I had eaten a big lunch. I'm giving one star only because the ten or so bites of duck I actually got to take seemed to be cooked well. read more

This was a fantatic dining experience. My friend and I had a 730 reservation but they allowed us to eat at the bar at 630 . The service was impeccable and one of the owners (Rebecca) happened to be taking care of us. We started with yummy cocktails -one was cherry based and was not sweet but had the right mix of alcohol and bitters. We also shared a drink that was a riff on the French 75 that was creative and tasty. Then came the food. We started with the Caeser salad and as per our request, no anchovy. It was perfectly dressed and the portion was very generous. We then split a Moules Frites and a Basque Chicken dish (great and very Provencal-like) that we soaked up with fresh home made bread that was warm and had depth to it; perfect accompanient. Finally, we split a dessert (we were too full to have more than one) . It was a sort of crepe that we ate slowly to savor the wonderfully complex and tasty combination of pure deliciosness. My friend and I both said we would come back any time we were in the area read more

Great dinner excellent server. We were on vacation and found a gem, Cafe Triskele We were looking for something a bit upscale but still casual dress. The menu has a great selection for all palates. I had the rack of lamb and my wife the cod casserole. Our taste buds were doing backflips. Two days later we met up with a business associate. We came back for a repeat performance. Great food is only the beginning of a great experience. Our server Rachel was excellent, She knew the menu as she wrote it. The biggest charge I got was when my wife asked about the cod casserole. Rachel's eyes popped open as though she herself cooked up the recipe. The night got even better. For some reason when some people see my camera they always say wow, what a setup. Truthfully I have never taken it off automatic in 10 years. Rachel gave us a great place to go bird watching. The point I am trying to make is she spent time with us and made our visit memorable. When you go to Cafe Triskele, ask for Rachel read more

The food and service were great on our first visits. However the service has deteriorated and was chaotic on our last visit on a Sunday night. We waited a long time for a waiter, they brought our drinks at the same time as appetizers, and two orders of lamb ordered medium and medium well came out very rare. We sent them back, still rare, and sent back again, just okay. No one apologized or asked if they were okay either time. Our party of four was seated in a room with three large parties and the noise made conversation difficult. It was not a pleasant meal and I won't return on a weekend, if at all. read more

Literally the BEST meal of my life. I had the escargot app which was simply amazing. Every flavor was on point and perfect.. Love the half plate concept so I got two entrees - the cod and beef burgundy (the special). The cod came with a butternut soufflé that might be the best thing I've ever put in my mouth. The beef was sooooooo tender it melted in my mouth and almost made me drool. I ended the best meal ever, with the best dessert ever.... I ordered the sampler and every single treat was different and delicious. I couldn't pick a favorite...even the cappuccino was superb!! The bonus was the phenomenal service on top of the wonderful food. The owners and staff were excited about the food because they know its quality and amazing.. Will definitely be back and would be willing to make a four hour round trip from Boston just to have a dinner here. read more

Great food in a warm, friendly atmosphere. I came here for dinner around St. Patrick's day and was happy to see the Irish breakfast on the menu and it did not disappoint. We also ordered the mussels appetizer and it was delicious. I am not that into mussels, but I would definitely order them again. For dessert I had the chocolate cake w/ice cream and really enjoyed it. The cake was warm from the oven and the ice cream was from a local dairy - SO good. The atmosphere here is nice and the service is very good. I will be back soon! read more

Sometimes, it's more than the dinner itself that makes a restaurant stand above. Yes, we had a great experience, the pate selection was like being in France, the home made mushroom ravioli were well executed. My wife had the scallops with an amazing sauce that I ended cleaning up as if it was a dessert. What made the difference is a minor incident that happened to us there and the way it was managed by the chef and owner; for that, we say kudos and congratulate Chez Nous for both great food and attention to customers. read more

Wanted to try out this highly recommended restaurant for my hubby's birthday. Food was good but overall experience was lacking. We were seated upstairs which has zero ambience and no romance. The server was very nice but must have gotten busy because we didn't see her at all after our food was delivered until plates were removed. Will try other restaurants in the area before heading back read more

Very comfortable place to dine. Friendly staff backed up by first rate kitchen. Lots of smiles from everyone. The menu is easy on the brain and the wallet. I had steamed cod on artichokes, who would have thunk how good that can taste. There is a dessert special that is made up of local treats....this is an order..get it! Wish I was a local. read more

This place seemed to be hit or miss. I initially found this place based on how good their desserts looked. My wife liked the menu and we made a reservation. She ordered a risotto dish that was so/so, however I ordered the scallops which were spot on and over a delicious pasta the best thing I ate all weekend in the Berkshires. Had I not gotten the scallops my review might be different. As for the desserts my reason for coming here was absolutely correct, we had a blondie with salted caramel ice cream that was as good as any dessert I ever had. I could of ordered about 8 of them. read more

Remarkable experience. I went alone. Sat at bar. It was early so only me and another customer. Bartender's professionalism and courtesy was only topped by his friendliness. A refined gentleman, with the air of a regular guy. The scallops were scrumptious. And the dessert was too. Great wine selection. I had the cab. This type of restaurant is typically found in Lenox. So refreshing that it's in Lee. I'll be sure to return with my sister and brother in law and explore more of the menu. read more

The food is great. Our server was very friendly. Decor is nice. Prices are fair. So why 3 stars? There was a mistake in the kitchen, and the manager did a poor job in rectifying it. Rather than comp the forgotten dish, she tried to bring it out after everyone was finished eating, and then tried to wrap it up to go. It just made for an awkward experience - she should have simply apologized and offered to take it off the bill from the get go, or asked the kitchen to expedite it. Also bill prices were completely different from the menu prices for several dishes - definitely check your bill! read more

Best meal I've had this summer in the Berkshires. Had the quinoa salad and the Arctic char entree. All perfectly prepared. For dessert had the peanut butter Ice cream sandwich which topped of a great meal. Reservations a must. Both indoor and outdoor seating. Excellent service. Going back soon. read more

Beautifully priced-- the half size orders are great for sampling the menu!!! Service wonderful. Food was superb!

Great food and love the half portions, but the lighting/decor/ambiance is pretty disappointing and unpleasant. Please have someone come help you make the space more charming. Sounds harsh, but you can't have those prices with such a dowdy atmosphere. Wonderful food and service though. read more

We had another lovely dinner at Chez Nous, bringing out-of-town guests, who enjoyed it. We're always made to feel welcome. We love the option of half-portions and we're delighted to have the option of ordering a half-portion of one entree and a half-portion of another. We loved the lamb, which was served with a delicious goat cheese soufflé. One concern: a couple at a nearby table arrived with two dogs, not marked as service dogs, who sat next to the table and obstructed server access to the table. I thought this was a violation of health codes? At any rate, I am not comfortable with dogs in a restaurant setting. I think Chez Nous was too polite to tell these customers to leave their dogs at home. They were taken advantage of. read more

Our meal and service was "Outstanding", this was our 4th visit, but 1st one since the pandemic, The staff was totally prepared for our visit with mask requirement and social distancing. My wife and I have lived in Europe and traveled extensively, especially in France. We now find ourselves 1 1/2 hours from Chez Nous, we save ourselves the airfare and enjoy meals that are every bit as amazing as actually being in France, if not "Better". We are planning on enjoying several visits a month, they are truly exceptional! Thank you, Norman & Carol read more

Chez Nous never disappoints! The classically trained French chef and his wife, a dessert chef, create a wonderful dining experience every time. Whether it's a winter cassoulet, or rack of lamb, scallops, duck, a cheese or charcuterie plate, house-made pate.... every dish is always perfectly prepared and delicious. And, the desserts? Wow. Just, wow. (In summer, the lemony posset is my favorite.) One of the great things about this place is its half-portions, ideal for those with smaller appetites or those who love trying more courses. In winter, the chef owners create wine dinners, and, on Wednesday nights, contribute part of their proceeds to local non-profits. Great food, gracious service, a lovely atmosphere, reasonable prices, perfect. read more

Really good. Terrific service. Excellent menu. Food very well prepared. Nice size portions.
