Today I got breakfast not only was it ridiculously expensive but it was very mediocre at best. I ordered a western omelette, but received a sausage and mushroom mama instead which I didn't complain about But it was just very bland. The home fries were burnt and cold. They only had generic toast like a cheap wonder bread no Italian or anything exciting. Coffee was good but for $20, it really wasn't worth it..

Tourists, keep in mind that this is not fancy with music and artwork for sale on the wall. This is a real diner with counter stools and booths. I had the Greek Eggs for breakfast, which is a delicious combination of Greek spices, potatoes, sausage and other yummy treats. Toast comes with it (sadly not gluten-free), but you need to order and home fries, etc. I like that. You pay for what you want, not some inflated plate of extras. Note: you won't see the Greek Eggs on the printed menu. Ask for the specials. Greek Eggs are always there. My wife loved the raisin French toast. She said that it did not need syrup. I am told to try the Goulash for lunch by several people. It sounds great. If you are looking for a fancy or romantic meal, look elsewhere. Want a fancy vibe to impress, look elsewhere. Want really good food that is proven with the locals, visit Shelly. Want eggs, French toast or pancakes, this is the place

Good food, service with a smile!…read more My husband and I enjoyed breakfast this morning. I am happy to report my blueberry pancakes with maple syrup were delicious. My husband also enjoyed his good French Toast and sausage. The coffee was fresh, and not at all acidic. Shelley is efficient and pleasant, and Liz serves everything hot and with a smile, and she keeps the coffee refills coming. What a pleasant time as compared with other places in Berkshire County that boast great atmosphere but where service is not on the menu. Oh and the prices are fair.

An absolute hidden gem in New Lebanon!…read more OMG, what an adorable little cafe! We were in New Lebanon and looking for somewhere to eat around 7:30 PM. Being a small town, there weren't many options still open, so we called to see if they were still serving dinner. The sweetest lady answered and told us their kitchen closed at 8:00 PM, but they would still be happy to take us. We're SO glad we called! The moment we walked in, we loved the place. It was beautifully decorated, with fresh wildflowers they had picked themselves, the tables were set so nicely, and everything had such a warm, cozy, welcoming feel. We were seated immediately and had ice water at the table right away. The service from beginning to end was seriously top-notch. Then the wonderful lady helping us, and I'm so sorry we didn't get her name, brought out freshly baked mini blueberry muffins. OH. MY. GOODNESS. They were DELICIOUS. That was the moment we looked at each other and knew dinner was going to be good. And it absolutely was! Our daughter ordered an omelette, my wife had the steak frites, and I ordered the chicken piccata. Every single dish was delicious. My wife also ordered a blueberry cosmo, which she loved! At this point we were completely stuffed, but there was no way we were leaving without trying dessert. We ordered the red velvet cake AND the chocolate croissant bread pudding with vanilla ice cream. Did we need both? Absolutely not. Did we finish them anyway? Pretty much! The food was just THAT good. We kept telling ourselves we were full and somehow kept taking another bite. What really made this place special, though, was the hospitality. We came in close to closing time, and instead of ever making us feel rushed or like an inconvenience, they welcomed us with kindness and gave us a wonderful dinner experience. That says a lot about a place. 5 stars all the way. If you're anywhere near New Lebanon, do yourself a favor and stop here. Places like this deserve all the support and business they can get. Great food, beautiful atmosphere, and genuinely wonderful people. We will DEFINITELY be back, and next time we're coming for breakfast!

I picked up a matcha latte here, and my friend catered a delicious brunch from this spot!…read more I appreciated that the matcha didn't come pre-sweetened. It could've been whisked/blended a bit better (separated a bit), but I was happy with it overall. Regarding the catering, I was a big fan of the avocado toast (super fresh and creamy and nice flavor) and tasty muffins (I enjoyed the blueberry muffin.) It takes a bit to make drinks / food, so be sure to allocate some time--this isn't one of the factory-like cafes that churn out drinks / whip out ready-made food. The interior is cute and has assorted offerings of general foods/supplies that were fun to peruse.

This is the cafe associated with the Clark art museum and institute…read more We had a wonderful late lunch here, of the beet salad and a veggie pizza. The pizza is on a filo dough crust. Crisp and delicious. The salad had both red and golden beets and a spicy balsamic dressing. My partner asked if she could get a small side of chicken, and was given some by the wonderful staff, who wouldn't even hear of charging her for it. (Your mileage may vary.) You order at the counter and they bring your food to your table. They have a specialized kids menu, as well. I'll happily return each time I visit the Clark.

Below average, below ground museum café. I could blame the architects of the new unit, who stuck…read morethis downstairs in the back with a kind of soulless seating floor and a very awkward cafeteria-style system. But the food direction is also odd, with an order-with-numbers system where you have to wait for it if you're going outside to eat (which requires schlepping your food up some massive stairs and around two turns just to get to the outside area) but for which they'll deliver if you're in the dismal downstairs. It's a huge missed opportunity; the largely empty (perhaps to keep it aesthetically pleasing) spot for the bookstore/gift shop, obviously positioned on the first floor to get more traffic, is adjacent to the outside seating area and would have been a far better choice for the café. The counter service was a strange mix of hovering and inattentive. As for the food, it's a theoretically nice set of high-end salads with no hot options (the hot stuff we ordered was just tepid), but is thrown together, given ingredients and pricing. The salmon-spinach salad, for example, was just baby spinach with sort of indifferent slices of salmon (not chopped for better coverage for flavor) tucked at random inside; the caesar salad was about as plain as you could imagine, and the special "Buddha Bowl", which a tasty original, was a pretty small portion for double digit pricing. It's adequate but it's not the kind of café to make you say "oh, let's meet for lunch at the Clark!", and without good inside seating that takes advantage of the beautiful view, adjacent to that view, it's just a quick refueling stop.

Good ice cream, hit or miss food, seething hostility from the service…read more This place is convenient to Mass MoCA, tucked in by the main entrance to the museum building, just past the gift shop. Some signage would have helped, because we had trouble locating it on our first visit. The place can get backed up, especially when timed events are finishing up. Service is not slow when there are few people, but the kitchen seems to get backed up after a line forms. I had the black bean burrito, which was pretty tasty with cholula, and my daughter had a grilled cheese. The caesar salad my wife had was not so great, mostly due to the rock hard slabs of cold chicken breast. So, the food seems hit or miss. We really enjoyed the ice cream, house made with good flavors and served slightly soft. The service was deplorable, though it may have just been our experience with one server. The young lady taking our order was extremely rude and seemed very put upon having to take our simple, friendly order. She even disappeared mid-order to go stand idle somewhere else and it was unclear if she was coming back until I called out to her to which she snapped "I'm listening!" but it certainly wasn't clear that she was listening. I will always look past mediocre service and bad days - the service industry is tough - but the outright hostility is unacceptable in any social setting. Management should definitely be on top of this and take more care on who is placed in customer facing roles.

So we retuned and to start things off we asked for a bread basket . We were told none and we had to order their French Bread app The bread came and it wasn't French Bread but Ciabatta toasted with some very good EVOO and whipped butter. We thought okay no big deal we're excited for our pasta dish A short time later our pasta dishes came and much to our surprise, the Pappardelle pasta was substituted with Mafaldine, a much heavier dough. Very disappointed but not as much as their response to us via Open Table. So when planning your dinner at this place remember to ask the server to confirm the dish contents prior to ordering.
