After *two* visits to Acqua al 2 during our recent Berkshires foray, I can say with confidence that…read morethis restaurant is not to be missed! Five stars, hands down. ***** The exterior is a pop of color in the small town of West Stockbridge and it is conveniently located near the I-90, Tanglewood, and all things Berkshires. Check out the original artwork on the walls and relax as you are transported to another place. What makes this restaurant so special is the authenticity of the food. All the recipes are from the original Florence location, perfected over many years by the owners. If you are a meat-eater then you'll be delighted by any of the filets. I enjoyed both the blueberry filet and the green peppercorn filet (strategically ordering both with a friend and then switching plates once halfway through!). The port wine sauce chicken is also quite tasty. The restaurant offers several "samplers" (salad, steak, pasta, dessert) which makes it easy to try lots of different flavor combinations, textures, and fresh ingredients. We did get the pasta sampler, and my favorites were the gnocchi (that day it was served with red pepper sauce - but on my next visit I tried the Gorgonzola sauce, yum) and the bow tie pasta with pumpkin and tiny but delicious morsels of almond crunch. I love greek salad and Acqua Al 2 did not disappoint. Fresh, crisp and refreshing cucumbers & tomatoes with a "to-die-for" feta cheese. I am also a huge fan of tiramisu so while others in our group opted for the dessert sampler, I went all-in on my top choice... iykyk. A good tiramisu can make or break a meal. This one was A+ Our server, Juan, was gracious and attentive. Overall a wonderful experience. Also, I don't drink alcohol, but they do have a full bar and an extensive wine list. Content with my Shirley Temple, I felt no judgement from staff!

Our food fell on it's face. We went based on a personal recommendation and backed by YELP reviews. This was my first big disappointment on YELP. We ordered bruschetta and meatballs for apps. Bruschetta was a bit too charred but ok. Meatballs arrived.... Gray balls sitting on ricotta and oil with an herb and shallot crumble. Meatballs were meh and topping was bitter like burnt garlic and onion. Table bread, delicious. Beverages, delicious. Entrees we were split 50/50. Eggplant parm was very tasty and red sauce tasted fresh and well seasoned. My chicken marsala with creamy polenta was very disappointing. Instead of marsala forward it tasted of mushroom gravy, chicken dry with hard edges and polenta you could cut and chase chunks around the plate. Not a bit like polenta should be. Dessert was warm ricotta cake with gelato. Gelato was essential to this dessert as the lemon sauce was so intensely tart and sour it was near inedible without some buffering by the gelato. Value wise it would have been a fairly pricey meal by our standards even if the food was good. However price point is more palatable when the food is.

It is decent quality Mexican food, but it only has the standard dishes that you would find in every Mexican restaurant across the United States. I put Mexican restaurants into three categories. The first category is the inexpensive restaurant and food truck that serves tacos, burritos, etc. The second is a sitdown restaurant that sells those foods and other common Mexican style foods that you see across the United States. The third category are the ones that specialize in regional dishes, and unusual foods. This restaurant is clearly in the second category and it does an OK job of it. The meals are tasty however I would not call them outstanding.

The best we had in a long time. My kids enjoyed their ground beef tacos. When we got the bill I noticed that they charged $2 per taco meal for cheese and $1 for sour cream and $1 extra for Strawberry flavor margarita. My kids didn't want anything that came with the tacos. Both kids wanted cheese and one of my kids wanted sour cream. We are not use to getting charged for these items as tacos with cheese and sour cream are pretty standard, so is getting a flavored margarita. When I questioned Rysa and gave her my feedback she didnt care. I thought she was a manager or supervisor - someone of importance. Turns out she is nobody of authority or management. She acted like one. When I told her we won't come back she said "that's fine, we have other customers who return". This worker didnt care or accept feedback. She was very rude. I left with my family and then the owner came out and she wanted to know what happened. I told her everything. She was very kind and apologized. To the owner, as we spoke about, please consider adding a children's menu that includes cheese and sour cream for tacos. I wish you all the best. You are very caring and I pray you can find better help real soon - someone who positively accepts feedback and cares about their customers.

Host - 4 out of 5. After telling us that there would be a 30 minute wait and as we were walking away, he quickly came outside to let us know that he just had an online cancellation and could seat us immediately. 3. Menu - 3 out of 5. When we asked if the salmon could be cooked medium rare, we were told that it is all cooked the same regardless of request per direction from the owner. When asked if salmon fish and chips were available we're told that while it is a great idea, it was not on the menu and never has been. Prices too high for menu items available. 4. Food Quality - 1 out of 5. I had fish and chips. Fish appeared to be frozen cod. Breading was not "to order" and fish was cold (not warm) giving credence to a frozen product that had been under-fried. Fries were stale and also reminded me of frozen fries I can get at any supermarket. Cole slaw and entire entree was tasteless. I tried to add salt but the salt shaker was clogged from lack of use and attention. The other order was fish tacos. No flavor, even though the server said they were spicy. NOT! The fish in the tacos also reminded us of frozen fish sticks and had cold/frozen areas on them We also had lobster bisque as a starter. This was the sweetest "bisque" I have ever tasted. Whoever the "chef" is has lost their passion for cooking or never had it to begin with. 5. Ambiance - we were seated behind 3 moms who had 3 children, 2 of which were 1-2 years old and screamed (actually SCREAMED) through most of our meal. Not the restaurant's fault but clearly did not add to a relaxing atmosphere. Overall - After $100 including tip, there was no value, no flavor, no relaxation. I hope others find this review helpful in making their choices when in Lee.

The food is very good, the servers right on top of things, and the atmosphere remains delightfully downscale funky. What more, you ask, could I ask for? Here's what gets us going: consistency. Every time we come by here our meal is as good as the last time, and we leave already eager for a return visit sooner rather than later. As ever, the chicken tortilla soup is heavenly, the tangy broth complemented by the cilantro, chicken strips and fresh, crunchy tortillas. Ah..... They offer up some good drinks -- think margarita, mojito, etc. -- and also a tasty mango limeade and a soft, chocolatey, sumptuous Mexican hot chocolate, perfect on a chilly afternoon. We're fans, obviously. And we think you'll find much to enjoy if you drop by. It's right off downtown Main Street, not always easy to spot, however, and there's plenty of parking in the rear.

They have a wonderful menu offering of letting you pair 3 or 5 of the cold appetizers for a great price. Not only are they apps but they serve as amazing flavors to add to every bite throughout the meal. Grape leaves, hummus, tatziki, spiced feta, ... and more with amazing pita. Last week we both had the gyros hers with "fries" mine with salad. The fries were a thick kitchen-made chip with some crispy and some tender. Amazing. The salad was so fresh we wondered where they were getting their produce! The lamb gyro was exactly that special flavor you have been chasing with lettuce, fresh tomato, tatziki and a warm pita. Try it with the spicy feta from the apps or the hummus! Tonight we tried the baked feta and tomatoes as a hot app with the hummus, grape leaves and tatziki 3 way sampler. Dynamite! I had the spanakopita and rice, Red had the Moussaka. She called it Greek lasagna, but it was so much more. Layered meat and a thick yet creamy béchamel with potatoes and thin eggplant. Greek savory ambrosia. Please, save room for dessert. , please. Last week while we waited for them to box up some take home baklava, we ordered a custard with philo dough. Sinful. The only sin for which you goto heaven. Tonight it was a chocolate cream-mousse cake with whipped cream and a thin milk chocolate topp while we waited for the take-home baklava. And a Hennessy for me while Red had a dessert wine, muscado. I am confused as to why there is not a line out the door. So I suppose I am letting you all in on the best kept secret for wholesome mediterranean food in Berkshire County. Enjoy!

No one checked on us after our food arrived. My fork was cleared with the appetizer plate and never replaced, so I eventually took utensils from an empty nearby table. My seafood pasta also came with shellfish, but no dish was provided for the shells. No one checked on us until we almost finished our mains. Food: The lemon drop martini was okay. The char-grilled octopus was tasty, but the Mykonos seafood pasta was bland. Hubby enjoyed his Keftedes and burger, although his burger arrived with a bun despite requesting it without one. The salad that came with it was delicious -- I actually enjoyed it more than my pasta! Overall: A warm welcome and some good dishes, but the bland pasta and inattentive service made this a mixed experience.
