Outstanding restaurant. I live going to RJs and they never disappoint. They have a full bar and Nicole is a great bartender. Servers are too shelf, especially Taylor. Steaks are always cooked to perfection. Love their mussels especially fra diavlo. All the seafood is fresh and the seafood tower is outstanding. Jose does everything possible to ensure you are satisfied. read more

I really don't know what to say about this restaurant. I am a traveling medical professional. This was our first time coming to the restaurant. I was accompanied by my rad tech and my nurse practitioner. Upon arriving, we stood there for a while without being greeted. We were finally seated and told the specials. We all ordered and waited for our food. My rad tech and I ordered the crab cake. And I tasted hers and I didn't care for the corn throughout the crab cake, I thought it was a garnish. So I let the server know that I didn't like the crab cake and that I had not touched it and would like it taken off my bill. The server was rude and stated why didn't you say that all 3 of you were in separate bills. My rad tech and my nurse practitioner did got get their lobster bisque. The owner came and started yelling at my rad tech asking why she didn't like the crab cake when in fact it was ME that didn't like it. He then told us to leave his restaurant and we had not paid for our meals. We stayed until get got the bill and left feeling uneasy. I live in Ohio and came to Massachusetts to try new restaurants. This is the first and the last time I'll ever patronize this establishment. We were definitely profiled and it showed. read more

This was our first time at RJ's and we were out to celebrate our anniversary. When we were seated a couple at a nearby table was very loud. We could not hear each other talk. When we asked the manager if we could move he immediately gave us a surprised look and then asked why we would want to move and gave us a disgusted look. Our waiter was very nice. The food was ok .Lobster bisque was very good.Several of the entree's were overpriced. My husband had one of the specials a delmonico steak and it was $45. We both expected $35. Also, for future reference you should read the price of the specials tableside as you announce the offerings. Last and most important, the manager/host should never question the customer if they are uncomfortable with their seating. Especially if the party had just sat down and if they were nice in their request and open tables were plentiful to honor the request. I have been in the hospitality business for over 38 years. Tonight I did not feel welcome at RJ's. The manager made us feel very "foolish" while we were trying make a simple customer request. read more

My sister and I came in from Dutchess, NY for the weekend for her birthday and I made reservations at RJ's weeks before because the menu looked absolutely amazing. Coming from an Italian family, who owned a restaurant and have gone to 100's of restaurants, this was by far the best meal we ever had. There was not one thing I would change except not getting full and eating more lol. The service was impeccable, our waitress Danielle was amazing, so tentative, the floor manager (I wish I could remember her name) was amazing, the owner Jose was so nice and gave us time. And all the other staff were amazing as well. We felt like celebrities! We never went needing anything. We requested to sit by the fire place and they accommodated us, candle on our table, perfect lighting, amazing ambiance. RJ's is about an hour and twenty minutes from us and we will definitely be back for dinner and will be requesting Danielle! read more

See all

The food was delicious. The service was excellent. The ambiance was lovely. It was my granddaughter's 6th birthday and we had a wonderful dinner. The waitstaff sang to her which made it very special. read more

Fantastic dinner last night as usual. But the real highlight and 5 stars goes to Kenneth the waiter. Never have we ever had service like the one he performed. He memorizes the specials which were like reading a novel so perfectly. He was attentive without being overbearing and had a great personality with a little humor. Highly recommend the restaurant and this waiter. read more

This was our first time at this restaurant. We were very pleased with the polite, informative service. The food was soooooo delicious. I had scallops that were huge and perfectly cooked and delicious. I think the best I have ever tasted. My wife had their shrimp Francis, also very delicious! We will definitely return to this restaurant. read more

This was my third time going to RJ's. I tend to go there because they travel all the way to Manhattan to get their produce. You can tell the difference in quality. Their lobster bisque is insanely good when you dip the homemade Focaccia bread in it. We got the Veal Marsala with linguine and. Tortellini with pancetta in a creamy white sauce. The meal was phenomenal! Highly recommend this establishment. The service is also very fast and they not only cook your dinner quick but they also keep a great eye on the front for customers coming in to pick up their food. They're always right there waiting for your needs. Great place all-round. read more

Food not terrible. Not great tho. Hostess VERY inappropriately dressed for Mothers Day brunch or any other day 4 that matter. Disgraceful! Midriff showing and Psinted on dirty jeans. This place is not a class act!!! N not all staff wearing masks! read more

We have dined there a few times now and it never disappoints! The lamb is one of my favorites, but everything on the menu is excellent! We have had an outstanding server 2 times in a row.... Heidi! She is amazing..... she has an awesome memory and a great sense of humor. Highly recommend RJ's for a fine dining experience. read more

Amazing food and. service, the food is New York City quality with great prices We had calamari and the baked wings which were out of this world. I had chicken noodle soup which was made from scratch, my boyfriend loves his Chicken Franchise and he is from New Jersey. Hands down best dining experience in the Berkshires read more

Had the special filet mignon. Very poor quality of beef. Our bill was OUTRAGEOUSLY HIGH!!! The waitress had trouble with our checks . The owner came to help, but was rude to her and to us. Need to get their act together. read more

We were looking for somewhere to eat dinner on a Monday night when many restaurants are closed . A local antique dealer , RT7 Trading Post recommended RJ'S . Thank you Ian . Great food at reasonable prices . Friendly help . Pub like atmosphere. Varied menu. Chicken wings with garlic Parmesan were well made , not deep fried, not heavy breaded, very moist . The eggplant parmigiana was excellent. The sauce had just enough spice . Wife's branzino and shrimp was perfectly prepared in a light sauce. Josselyn our waitress showed what it means to do your job with a smile. She was very attentive and she even got my joking attitude . Wish we lived closer or that RJS was in NYC. I highly recommend . Will see them soon. My only suggestion and it's not a critique is that the long list of today's specials should be on a hand out . Way too many to remember ‍. read more

My husband and I can't say enough about RJ'S. The entire staff is fantastic, very personable, kind and above all, treat you like family. The food is always delicious, served hot and we are never disappointed with the highest quality of seafood as well as tender juicy beef and chicken. Tonight on valentines, we had surf and turf, OMGOSH...AMAZING! We highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to feel welcome, enjoy superior food and excellent desserts.. Thank you Hose (owner) and David (chef) for bringing this jewel restaurant to the Berkshires Sincerely, Tom and Louise Lis read more

Always a great meal with awesome service. We ask for Kenneth or Milton as they are our favorite servers, but everyone is good. Say hi to Jose, one of the owners. That's if he doesn't say hi to you fist. read more

The first time I had fish and chips, it was fabulous probably the best I've had in a while. Just ordered a couple of days ago and the batter was so thick and the fish inside barely cooked. At least the french fries were good. Also ordered clam chowder, and it seemed like it was more lobster bisque with a few potatoes and pieces of clam in it. Very disappointed. read more

We had a fabulous meal here last week. Our party of 6 was very well cared for. Taylor did a great job as our waiter. The food was excellent. Very large portions of very fine food. Seafood was very fresh. The pasta was delicious. It's certainly not cheap, but the prices are reasonable for the quality of the food. You will Not be disappointed by a meal here. read more

Was in the area last night and just happened to drive by this cute little place. Told my husband, let's try it. We turned around and pulled in their parking area. Walked in and was greeted right away.Was sat in the perfect spot for a couple looking to get away for the night. Was greeted by our very friendly server, Kelly. She was very polite and took our drink order, giving us direction to some interesting cocktail selections and menu recommendations. We enjoyed our appetizers, I had the lobster bisque and my husband had the shrimp cocktail. For dinner, Kelly recommended the chicken Marsala for me. My husband chose the steak. He is very particular about the way his steak is cooked and presented and would not hold back if he was disappointed. He was pleased without hesitation. Loved both our meals and Kelly was very attentive throughout our dinner. All in all, we will be back when in the area. We will ask for Kelly again and will refer this place to all of our friends! Thank you!! read more

This was opening weekend at Tanglewood and the Berkshire theater company and that's what brought s to RJ's. Of three possible dinners, we ate here twice. Why? It' s solid food, prepared with care. The first night was balmy. They sat us on the porch. (Nice) and I had the shrimp scampi over thin spaghetti. I asked that it be cooked al dente and it was! My husband's fish and chips was not wonderful. But he loves fish and chips. We went back because our plans to picnic at Tanglewood changed. It was 50º and not only could we not picnic, we skipped the show, too. Way too cold out there. So we went back to RJ's. This time I ordered the steak. It was fine, not great but good enough and the service was attentive, too. Keep in mind that this is all post Covid and everyone is struggling to get up to speed. read more

We've been to this restaurant several times. The food has always been very good. Recently we went and again the food was very good. The service on the other hand was terrible. Waiter served drinks and then disappeared. After waiting roughly 15 minutes I asked another waiter if he would get our waiter. Eventually he showed up and said it's very busy. That's not our fault. He took our order but was rather perturbed when someone in our group asked how a particular dish was prepared. We eventually got our meals. Congrats to the kitchen. It was very good. Our waiter eventually reappeared and presented us with the check. Never did he ask how our meals were or offer dessert or coffee. To top it off there was a 20% tip that was automatically added to the check for a table of four. What gall. Whether this is management or the waiter adding this tip we will not be going back. I see no reason to tip someone who provided terrible service. read more

Disgusted by how awful the owner treated his employees, I was there on Friday night, and I couldn't believe how bad it was. The food was ok

Been to Rj several times for dinner. It is wonderful. Today we came for lunch. It was equally wonderful. Whether it's pasta Italian or steak and seafood it never disappoints read more

I've been to this restaurant 4 times since they opened. Guess what? It has gotten better each time. Tonight I had one of the best meals I have had in a long time. Veal chop, tomahawk style with peppered cognac sauce. The chop was served sizzling hot and cooked to perfection rare. Nice service - Nice people. RJ's has a nice vibe to it. A great addition to the Berkshires. read more

$12 caprese salad was 3 pieces of dry mozzarella with no basil and balsamic dressing not an actual balsamic reduction like stated. Should be half the price and an appetizer. Scallops were FAR from seared and looked like they were microwaved from frozen and tossed on a plate. Scallops came with a bland pile of rice and spinach so unseasoned i felt like a kid self refusing to eat my meal. Entree was so bad it was shared between our party of 8 with a unanimous decision it was absolutely awful. Lobster bisque was delicious but included one single 4cm piece of lobster sat on the top treated like a decoration (no other chunks of meat) Lamb chops were only two double boned chops but cooked and seasoned perfectly Drinks were great. Service was spectacular for an 8 parson party. read more

A group of us had dinner at RJ's last night. The food was fantastic. I had the veal chop and it was tender and delicious. A friend had the seafood pasta, her plate was loaded with lobster ,clams and shrimp . The portions were so large it was definitely enough to bring home for another meal. The service was excellent. Our waiter was attentive and very friendly. There was a jazz band playing in the lounge which was very enjoyable.I was very ,very impressed will definitely return again soon. read more

After hearing a new Italian restaurant had opened in the old rainbow building, my family and I had higher expectations after reading the owner has multiple locations and decided to try it instead of our usual spot Mazzeo's Ristorante. However our experience was sadly disappointing with a mediocre food experience unacceptable for the cost of their plates. Their pasta fagioli was made with pieces of broken up linguine pasta not the usual ditalini and was basically tasteless. The meatballs were very grainy and flavorless as well. The butter brought to the table was as though someone chipped it from stick of butter and was served in a coffee saucer. There was only one fork and a knife at each setting therefore if you had an appetizer or salad you were expected to use the same fork for dinner. The main dishes were definitely not worth the prices as far as quality and taste are concerned and needed much work on presentation. I could overlook these things if their prices were like the average pizzeria, but when you are spending $18-25 per entrée; these little things make a big differance especially in an Italian neighborhood full of affordable Italian food restaurants. We were sort of taken back when the check came out and had a credit card surcharge attached, IMO this just shouldn't happen at a want to be upscale restaurant without giving the guests prior notice especially when the tab for three was over $100 without alcoholic beverages. On a positive note the staff is attentive and very friendly, unfortunately that isn't enough for a restaurant in the Berkshires. read more

Dinner there Friday nite 9/24 absolutely horrible. All the food was ridiculously salted. I had a veal parm- awful, wife had shrimp scampi- daughter a steak. We all had the same consensus- loaded with salt will never return - good luck succeeding - work will get out quickly Wayne R read more

This place sucks I got a steak and it was so undercooked. My wife got a steak and it was way overcooked. But the waiters are nice

We visited this past Saturday. Was busy in the bar and restaurant. Had a great experience. Our server "Danielle" was pleasent, informed, and did a great job We had a Appetizer, 2 cocktails, 2 entrees, 2 coffees and 1 dessert total was $99 prior to tip Portions were large. We will definitely go back read more

Owner had really bad attitude toward customers. Raised the voice to customer. Never come to this restaurant. BAD!BAD!BAD!

Had a wonderful meal ,Fish an Chips was very good and plentiful,also had an excellent Lobster Bisque. especially when it came out in reasonable time and hot. Haven't been I a while, but entertainment drew us there Lady Di and Bak, great music and song, without excessive noise, was able to comfortably talk at same time. Service was very good, Nicole was very accommodating. We do a lot of Takeout these days, will try it soon to see if quality is as good as it was today. read more

I made my 3rd trip to RJ's for a special dinner this week. The service is consistently excellent. These folks are hospitality professionals. The menu includes classic Italian American and steakhouse entrees. Portions are generous. Stand-outs from this trip were fra diavolo mussels and surf&turf. Would definitely recommend. read more

This restaurant is good for a fancy date or a quiet get together with a friend. The service was great and the food was wonderful and not overly expensive. I will definitely return. read more

My husband and I had dinner on a busy Wednesday night in February. RJ's has an attractive dining room with a warm and cozy atmosphere. Tyler, our Server, greeted us and showed us to a roomy booth. We chatted for a bit and he made us feel very welcome. Our drinks came out quickly as did a basket of warm delicious focaccia with butter. The calamari Arrabiata appetizer was very tasty. A generous portion in a vibrant tomato sauce. The restaurant was busy and Tyler was attentive, stopping in to check on us and letting us know that our dinners would be out soon. The lasagne with meat sauce was top notch and totally satisfied my craving for a traditional tomato pasta dish. My husband enjoyed the pork chops dinner - tender and seasoned beautifully. I sampled the grilled vegetables that accompanied his main course. They were perfectly tender and imbued with the smokiness of the char grill. The whole evening was wonderful. We look forward to returning very soon and I will try to leave room for dessert! read more

We went on Saturday night and the place was packed. This restaurant is awesome! Table of 13, and not a single complaint. We were seated quickly great service and the food was great! We all had different meals and each was better looking then the next. I had scallops piccata and the hubby had salmon, both were cooked perfectly. We will be back!!! read more

Awful service from the owner who is a snotty a-hole who loves to start arguments for asking for a simple request. NEVER GO THERE AGAIN

First time going to this restaurant. Recommended by close friends. Ambience was great. Service was very pleasant but food took a very long time (Shrimp cocktail appetizer took 25 minutes and the main course took literally 30 minutes from when we finished our appetizer). My wife enjoyed her meal. However, I ordered the free range chicken. The veggies were excellent but the chicken was full of bones and fat with little real meat. Very disappointing and I was still hungry after I cut away the meat from the fat and bones. Perhaps I ordered the wrong item but it will be a while before we return. There are many other high quality resteraunts in the Berkshires (had dinner at Alta the previous night and it was amazing). read more

Upscale. Good menu, nice atmosphere, friendly service. Recently renovated and opened. Close to downtown .

How Embarrassing! we told friends about the great service and fantastic food we had at R.Js a month ago and brought them there tonight. we were seated and waited thirty minutes or more and had to finally call someone over to wait on us. we waited another 20 minutes for 1 salad and another 15 minutes for a glass of wine. if someone would have even apologized for our wait it would have helped but no one did. our order finally went in and we ordered another glass of wine which never came til we reminded them at dinner about it and they brought it. The food was excellent but the service was absolutely terrible with no explanation. a few other people complained as well. The staff need to make people aware if there is a problem. as good as the food was I'd think twice before bringing anyone there again. read more

Dinner with the family last night was excellent. We felt everyone went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed ourselves, right down to the band acknowledging my birthday and anniversary. Oh, and the meals we all fantastic. read more
