We were really looking forward to dining here and had saved this restaurant as the culmination of…read moreour trip to the Berkshires. Unfortunately, our experience was extremely disappointing. We arrived for our reservation and were offered a very small two-top. Because we were dining with our dog, we politely asked if it would be possible to wait for a larger table where she would not be in the way of other guests or staff. We were not demanding a different table -- we were told it would take approximately 30 minutes for another table in a different section to become available, and we happily said we were willing to wait. We sat quietly outside with our dog while waiting. The owner then approached us and told us that waiting for another table would interfere with future seating. We were surprised by this, as we had simply accepted the wait time that was provided to us and had not caused any disruption. The interaction escalated when the owner used profanity toward my husband and threw the water bowl that had been provided for our dog in our direction. We were shocked by the hostility and left without eating. We completely understand that restaurants have to manage reservations and seating, and we would have accepted being told that our request could not be accommodated. What was unacceptable was the way we were spoken to and treated by the owner. We came here excited to spend our money at this restaurant as part of our trip, but we are grateful that Great Barrington has many other excellent establishments where we were welcomed and happy to spend our money instead. Unfortunately, this experience was the opposite of the hospitality we expected.

This place used to be great and it was always our first stop in GB but…read more it has fallen off a cliff. I told the owner Mark how awful the service was and he was completely indifferent. Couldn't bring himself to apologize. Here's what you endure: 1. Waitress brings a carafe of water but no glasses. You have to ask twice. Later when soup is dropped off you have to wait for the server to return so you can ask for a spoon. 2. Lots of specials are no longer available. Then why are they still on the board? Your waitress lists what they're out of so you decide to have the sandwich. "We're out of that too." OKAAAY 3. You want a salad without nuts and you indicated that when you made the reservation and the menu says clearly "Please notify your server if you have any allergies." Your waitress says it's not possible to make accommodations. You have to ask three times before she puts in the order. 4. You've been enjoying cocktails--which are great--but it's been an hour and food still hasn't arrived (it's 8:45 and restaurant is mostly empty). Your busser shows up to see if we're done and need any more plates taken away. No, you politely say, you need your entrees. 5. You wonder aloud for the third time if your server has left for the night. 6. You're not offered dessert or anything else. You can't wait to leave a place you used to love. You won't go back.

We've been here a couple of times now, and I always look forward to returning whenever I'm visiting the Berkshires. I ordered the chicken, while my significant other ordered the duck, and both were outstanding. Everything was truly done to the nines. I couldn't have asked for a better meal, and we thoroughly enjoyed every bite. The portions were also generous, which I really appreciate given the price point. You're getting a substantial meal that feels well worth it. The service was just as well done. We felt well taken care of throughout the evening, and our waiter was attentive without being overbearing. My only complaint is that I wish Alta would open another location and move to Boston. I would absolutely make this a regular spot!

If I could give ALTA Restaurant & Wine Bar more than five stars, I would. The pork cheeks may have…read morebeen the best meal I've ever had--perfectly cooked, incredibly tender, and packed with flavor. Every bite was unforgettable. What made the experience even more special was the hospitality. After the Tanglewood concert on a Sunday night, the staff recognized that many concertgoers were looking for a place to eat and graciously stayed open later to accommodate everyone. That level of customer service is rare and speaks volumes about how much they care about their guests. Outstanding food, exceptional hospitality, and an experience I'll be talking about for a long time. I can't wait to come back.

The restaurant is close enough to Tanglewood and Jacob's Pillow to allow for an early dinner before the curtain goes up. And what a dinner. The appetizers are as eventful as the entrees and the wine pairings are inspired. Though the steak, trout and chicken offerings are absolutely perfect, my heart belongs to vegetarian delicacies such as the pear soup or the homemade gnocchi, not to mention the mouth watering squash with carmen pepper romesco, ricotta salata and toasted almonds! But the bacon and onion tart over wild arugula is perhaps my favorite item on the menu; I never fail to order it. The good news: one can have it ALL. No need to choose! Plates are easily shared, so come with a group and have a tasting party!

This is the only restaurant I have ever eaten at which considers 3 ounces of Flat Iron steak to be an appropriate portion for an adult diner. Our table of four ordered a bottle of white wine, a Sancere, which was brought to the table at at a temperature inappropriate for a fine white wine ... and not cheap at that. I ordered the tuna diner, which amounted to four minuscule tidbits. I had instructed the server that I wanted my tuna BLACK AND BLUE in temperature, it arrived over cooked and overly peppered. Speaking for the rest of the table, all of the portions were almost laughably small. The plates brought to our table were more of a tasting than a diner. Had my wife not ordered a salad, which was of decent size, she would have left as hungry as I did. Not normally needing a desert, I was so hungry that I ordered what was described as a coconut pudding like concoction. All can say about it is it was white and totally tasteless, sort of like 2 percent milk with gelatin. My wife made the same error. Neither of us ate the pudding. In short, had we not been brought there by family members who live in the Lenox area, I would have sent my diner back to the kitchen. I thanked our family but in truth would never go back to this well over hyped place again. To add to the poor dining experience, the floor plan designer of this establishment actually chose to place an unguarded stairwell directly in-front of an exit door. Taking about a law suite waiting to happen.
