We brought two visitors from out of the country here for their the lodge's jazz dinner and had a…read morelovely overall experience. To address some of the previous diners' concerns: no, this is not a swanky, white-tablecloth establishment; yes, it is very rustic, with furnishings that have probably been there for a few decades; and, yes, unless you have exactly 6 people in your party, you will end up sitting at a table with other people. I saw no sign of "filth" in the dining room -- my guess is that may happen more in the daytime, when hikers in muddy boots tromp through the place -- and the woman who acts as not just the server, but also the hostess, busser, and cashier, was on her toes throughout the evening and served the entire room (that's right -- one server for the entire room) in a more expeditious way than I ever could have. I give her and the kitchen major props for keeping the service moving as fast as they did. Of course, when you go to a restaurant on the summit of a mountain, part of what you're paying for is the experience of eating at 3,500 feet while the sun sets, and it is spectacular. Once we staked out our spots at the table and confirmed our orders with the server, we headed outside, before sunset, to walk the short distance to the overlook (the War Memorial monument is, unfortunately, under renovation and covered in scaffolding), where you can take in a panoramic view of 5 states. We went back out about 30 minutes later while the sun was setting and the moon was rising simultaneously -- this was the evening before the summer solstice -- and it was, in a word, phenomenal. Now to the food. The lodge serves a three-course, prix-fixe meal for about $35 per person, and it varies almost every evening. If you're vegetarian, be sure to mention this when you make reservations; the kitchen makes a limited amount of covers, so you won't be able to order a veg meal after the fact. Everyone gets the same dessert. This dinner also had the musical component, which is new for the lodge. Our evening's entertainment was a trio who played a mix of standards ("Summertime") and lite jazz. They were solid, if not spectacular (though kudos to the singer, who was excellent), but our guests, having never experienced live jazz before, absolutely loved it. Two of our party went veg, and for a starter got a basic salad with lettuce, radishes, and cherry tomatoes -- perfectly fine, if a little sweet in the dressing; some black pepper countered it nicely. For an entree, we got pasta primavera with gemelli, butternut squash, portabellas, zucchini, snap peas, green beans, and oven-roasted tomatoes -- each vegetable was perfectly cooked, and the pasta was not drowning in a pool of oil. Can I get an Amen? Our non-veg party members went for the chicken cacciatore with a side of green beans, and the beef braised in red wine, also served with a side of green beans. They reported that the meat was cooked well and not too chewy, and the sauces were light and tasty. We shared a bottle of wine -- 14 Hands Merlot -- which was just OK for me, but, again, our guests seemed to enjoy it. For dessert, everyone had profiteroles -- a puff pastry cut in half and filled with bittersweet chocolate mousse and whipped cream. While I scraped off most of the whipped cream (not an issue with theirs -- I'm just not a fan in general), the filling was airy and just sweet enough, with a nice hint of orange. Overall, the food was a solid B+ -- nothing earth-shattering, but fresh, prepared well, and served promptly. But Bascom Lodge isn't just about the food; it's about the setting and the extras, like the music and the exquisite sunset. And when you keep in mind that all of the supplies have to be trekked up to 3,500 feet and the building and equipment maintained, I think it's a pretty good value for $35. I would definitely pay another visit, especially during a full moon.

The onion bites were a fantastic alternative to onion rings and dangerously easy to keep eating. The beer list reads like a who's who of great choices, and the wings were excellent, possibly the best I've had in recent memory. The buffalo sauce was especially well done, with just enough heat to know it is there, but still approachable even for someone who does not usually go for spice. The real highlight, though, was Joyce. She absolutely personified great customer service. Friendly, attentive, thoughtful, and on top of everything without ever overdoing it. Honestly, the level of care she gave rivaled service at a five-star resort. I wish Joyce could follow me around to every meal I have. She was that good. Great food, great atmosphere, and truly standout service. We will definitely be back.

We are ordered the double dip, Buffalo chicken and spinach artichoke. It took over twenty minutes for the dips, even tho the place was half empty. We had a feeling the entrees would arrive shortly and we were right. Halfway thru the dips the entrees arrived. Chicken piccata was bland, and the pasta was overcooked. The sauce was watery and there was only a slight taste of lemon. Not at all what it should have been. Haddock was obviously fresh, but again, bland. Served in a bath of butter, but no herbs, no discernible seasoning. Services was attentive, beers were cold, if somewhat overpriced. Don't know that I'll be back.

There is an added amenity fee for parking, use of the facilities (pool, etc.), and breakfast (which isn't good). It is a minimal fee, but for the price they charge for a room, that's just nickel & diming the guest. They also make you sign an agreement that you will not bring any alcohol into your room. You either purchase from their "bar" in the lobby, or from the mini bar in the room. Neither of us are drinkers so it didn't affect us, but they charged us for a bottle of wine that we didn't take! If you want to stay there, check your charges when you get home.

Our server was friendly and pleasant throughout the meal. Unfortunately, the dining experience fell short in a few areas. We waited about 45 minutes for our food, even though our order was fairly simple--a salad with salmon and an omelet. When our silverware arrived, it was greasy and had to be sent back. The biggest disappointment was the salmon, which was significantly overcooked and very chewy. The salmon was okay once doused in dressing. The omelet was underwhelming. After tip brunch was around $70. Given the beautiful setting and friendly service, I had high expectations. I'm hoping this was just an off day, as the restaurant certainly has a lot of potential.

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.
