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 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.

Our waitress came by to take a drink order and brought us a bottle of water for the table. The menu is limited, but has plenty of variety and everything has a level of 'comfort' instead of 'stuffy'. The presentation of our meals is well done. I ordered a salad and the produce was fresh with crisp lettuce, well prepared grilled tuna and boiled egg. The dressing was light and tasty. Would order this again. Two peanut butter cookies arrived with our check. I am kind of surprised they would choose to serve peanut butter with so many people having nut allergies, including myself. I had to ask what type of cookies they were before I took one. That just seems like a dangerous policy. Otherwise, we enjoy our time here. Everything is top tier from flatware to restroom to service to food quality. Definitely worth a look.

It's everything a true hometown dive should be.

Dinner at Stagecoach Tavern was utter chaos. The singular star is dedicated to the bartender & the…read moreburger my partner received. We came to RBL for a very specific concert. When we reserved our room, we purchased the dinner package, which included a three course dinner at Stagecoach Tavern. The website stated that gratuity was included in the package because "we have raised our prices to provide better wages for our staff." With the lack of a front desk & seemingly no internal system for keeping track of guests, this "package" proved to be difficult & frustrating to redeem. The staff didn't seem to to know about our 6:45 dinner reservation, let alone our dinner package. But eventually we were led to a table where we sat & waited. & waited. We waited so long, without anyone visiting our table to even take our drink order, that we had time to notice some disturbing things around us. 1. Lipstick stains on the cloth napkins. 2. Lipstick gunk on the water glasses. 3. Flies buzzing around everywhere. 4. Other patrons looking annoyed & restless. About 15 minutes into our sit, another couple was led to a table next to us. Then the server returned to take their drink order. Then they received their drinks. Then they ordered food. ... All before anyone spoke to us. At one point, we made note that they might know the owner. In that case, how embarrassing for Stagecoach Tavern to have a dining room full of restless guests & continuing to only dote on the customers they know personally. Bad practice. Finally, after about almost an hour of sitting, a very stressed bartender noticed us. He stopped to take our drink order, despite our table being very obviously out of his jurisdiction. He was out of breath & agitated, so we didn't think it was a good time to bring up our alleged "package." We just ordered "whatever can be made quickly," since we had a concert to get to. My partner ordered the burger. I ordered the fried fish. He was quickly on his way. Then the special table next to us received their food. Our table was still empty, except for the lipstick stained napkins, the lipstick gunked water glasses, & the flies. There was a table of 3 near us that had been already sitting when we arrived at Stagecoach Tavern. They were restless & clearly upset. When they finally got a chance, they flagged down the elusive server (who had still not visited our table) to ask for their food to-go. They couldn't wait any longer. We watched in horror as the server gave no explanation, no apology, & no discount to the table of 3 that was requesting their "fine dining" to-go because it was taking so long. After speaking with the table of 3, the server finally came to our table. It had been OVER an HOUR since we had been sat. She didn't realize that the bartender had been by, so she asked us what she could get us to drink. We told her that we didn't need to order anything, as we had already spoken with the bartender. I did request replacement water glasses, though. We also asked if our two entrees could be covered by our dinner "package" because we didn't have the time to wait for a three-course meal at this point. She said no. We asked her to check with a manager. The VIP table next to us had completely finished their meal & were waiting for the check, at this time. We didn't hear back from her & didn't receive new water glasses. Eventually, our drinks & food were dropped at our table by a member of the kitchen staff. My partner said the burger was phenomenal. The fried fish dish was a nice medley of flavors. I particularly enjoyed the unique blueberry/dill combination. It was, unfortunately, tedious to eat & not enough food. I knew I would still be hungry, but we certainly didn't have the time or patience to order anything else. The concert was due to begin at any moment, so I left the tavern to head over to the venue, leaving my partner with the unsavory job of settling the bill (thank you, love you.) Apparently they did eventually call it a wash, as our two drinks & two entrees tallied up to a total that was far less than what the dinner package could potentially include. My partner left a $20 bill on the bar for the bartender. After the fact, we were charged $185 for the dinner package that was supposed to be included in our room reservation. They included a $24 restaurant gratuity charge which really tied my knickers in a knot, considering their spiel about raising staff pay & included gratuity. Even if you build your own three course dinner by ordering the most expensive starter, entree, & dessert off the menu, you still won't tally up a $185 bill. The dinner package is a scam. After repeated attempts to contact their customer service (again, there's no front desk) we finally received a refund for the dinner package. What a disaster. Where is management?

This unique and quaint respite in Sheffield provides both an indoor and outdoor relaxing food and drink experience. It was too cold to go outdoors, but they did have a fire pit going in case one wanted to brave the elements. Inside the restaurant you will experience a variety of different seating choices. From booths to tables to private fireplace options, you could go back again and again without sitting in a cookie-cutter type table. The inside is decorated with a variety of historic stagecoach memorabilia. Very cool. Onto the food. Dining started out with the sourdough basket appetizer. Fresh toasted sourdough bread with a buttery garlic side cup is a solid opener choice. You get plenty of bread for two or more to share. The shrimp and scallop risotto main entrée was terrific even the risotto critic couldn't argue. Fairly good sized with a respectable amount of both shrimp and scallops. The risotto had a nice Parmesan topping with a touch of lemon. Now, the Chick lien pot pie was outstanding! A sweet pastry topping kicks this decadent special. Lots of flavor in every spoonful. They've got a fantastic talented bartender, who has some great drink suggestions that might tempt you to go off menu.

Godfrey was our waiter, very attentive and pleasant. He was assisted by servers who brought food from the kitchen. We had identical meals. The black lentil soup (soup of the day) was very good. We shared a wedge salad lettuce with halved cherry tomatoes, bacon bits and chopped fried onions and it was super. I'm not big on dressing as a whole, but it was quite flavorful. We each had the smash burger. It's two thin patties made from sirloin and ribeye coated with cheddar cheese placed on chopped lettuce and tomato, resting on a fresh roll. It was hot and so juicy and delicious. The only drawback for the entire meal was that the fries were over cooked. For dessert my wife had the apple pie with ice cream, I had the brown sugar cake with coffee ice cream. Both simple, yet scrumptious. Overall a delicious meal, it seemed expensive, but we had wine. FYI, we saw others being served the fish and chips (Cod) and it looked great.
