I tapped that club
Shauna L.

This is a must visit when I am back home. Food is amazing and the staff is the nicest around! Last night we had crab stuffed mushrooms to start. Very very good and a perfect size of mushroom, not the super big portabella. Then I had my go to Rueben. I think the best one I've had in a long time. (And I get them everywhere I go, trust me!) and huge! Lunch for the next day for me. Side of waffle fries too. He had waitress recommended a sausage and chicken pasta dish. Portion so big he couldn't even finish. And that is rare! Place is a gem of Williamstown so gets packed with locals. Bar was full when we got there at 6. Stop by and hang out and eat and drink. You'll love it! Cheers

Burger with Waffle Fries

We both had burgers and it was wonderful... Great service and a really fun place to stop by after you're at the Clark Museum or visiting Williamstown

Fish tacos.

It's a solid local tavern with good pub grub. We visited on Christmas Eve day for lunch and loved the festive atmosphere. It is a local spot. One surprising thing was the fact the restaurant did not carry any actual fresh eggs (we wanted a fried egg in a burger). Not having this made us all hesitate and change our order immediately- it simply makes you question all the other shortcuts the kitchen may be taking. Overall, it is a good place for lunch tavern grub.

Staying overnight on a ski trip I was looking for dinner and came up with the Water Street Grill on Yelp. Nice atmosphere and a good menu seemed like just what I was looking for. I was not really hungry so I decided that I would get the Fish Tacos. The menu description sounded good, but for whatever reason the taste of the tacos just did not come together for me. The fried fish was OK but just seemed to be overwhelmed by the other flavors. The waffle fries were generous and very good. Overall I just think that I ordered the wrong item from the menu and it looked like others in the restaurant were enjoying their meals. My experience at Water Street Grill was OK, but nothing special, I think that had more to do with what I choose then the rest of the menu.

This place was out of so many things we tried to order, and they only let us know way after the order was placed and after waiting for 5+ minutes. No steak or clam chowder. Perhaps it was for the best, as the food was extremely disappointing. Saltiest and burnt waffle fries, while the ribs were loaded with sodium and tough. I know small town restaurants can be hit or miss but this was a bigger miss than expected. Service was slow and inattentive.

Meatballs

Restaurant roulette continues in the Berkshires! Broke free of Lanesborough and Pittsfield this evening and headed North to Williamstown and tried our luck here. Great decision. Rustic interior and ample beer choices on tap. Hustling barkeeper on top of orders, drinks. Wasn't too hungry and didn't want to eat that much at 7:30pm. Opted for the meatballs appetizer and that was a 'just right' decision. 3 meatballs about the size of tennis balls with ample marinara sauce and topped with Ricotta cheese. I'd definitely come back again.

Clams

My family and I came here for dinner after going to the MassMOCA museum. I highly recommend this place. The only reason for taking one star off was that we got conflicting information regarding making a reservation. I called ahead since we had a large party of 7 people. I asked if we needed to make reservations and the woman on the phone said they didn't take reservations but that if we came over immediately they could seat us with no wait. We headed over immediately but when we got there we were told we needed reservations, a direct contradiction of the info I had just gotten on the phone. The staff was reasonably apologetic and after conversing and a few minutes wait they were able to seat us at the outside table. It was an unique space - a small patio space themed beach style with sand on the ground. Sadly there were a lot of bugs out there and the air conditioner blew the warm air into this space. But the food was so good and at a great price. We had the appetizer sized portions of the mussels and clams which were both really big, basically entree sized. The calamari with hot pepper marinara was good too and the green bean fries were awesome. Even though we were the only outside table the waitress didn't forget us and was really attentive. If you are in North Adams this place is great.

Very classy restaurant everything was top notch. We went Thursday night for the pasta and salad…read morespecial and it was out of this world. The salad was arugula, endive, radlcchio, red wine vinaigrette and parmigiano reggiano. Nice light salad. The pasta was tagliatelle with pork sausage, San marzano tomato, cream and parmigiano reggiano. The pasta was so light and the bowl was the perfect size. If it could not get any better we had the Zeppole Di San Giuseppe for dessert so fresh and delicious! Our server was outstanding and the staff were very friendly. This place is worth trying.

To its credit, there was ample variety within each course of the fixed-price-menu to satisfy vegetarians, vegans, and meat eaters. Everything was superb (little gem's ceasar salad, a scrumptious cauliflower main dish, asparagus, steak, tagliatelle emiliana, chocolate budino, lemon olive oil cake, French fries, olive mixture, braised beef, doughnuts, etc.). One feels very welcomed by the hostess, the wait staff is efficient and unobtrusive, and the restaurant avoids the sin of many restaurants these days: blaring and abrasive music. We had a little mishap with our main course in that one arrived much later than the others, and a guest's braised beef dish was a little on the cool side. The waitress (Amanda M.) was extremely gracious in handling and remedying these issues. Thank you, Amanda M. I highly recommend.

This is a very quaint and antique-ish restaurant which makes you feel like you're in your living…read moreroom. We ordered the fried pickles as an appetizer and they were very good. I had the New York strip with lobster. Unfortunately the steak was a bit dry and tough (I oredered it medium). But the lobster was great, served in a little bowl already peeled with butter and ready to eat! It seems my meal may have been sitting for a while. Way too much mashed potatoes and green beans! I could barely cut the steak because the plate was so full. The hubby ordered the mussel puttanesca which he LOVED. The sauce was delicious and it was nice and hot. For dessert we had the brownie with chocolate ice-cream. Brownie was nice and warm. Server was friendly. Their bar has limited options so don't expect anything too fancy!

We had a visit Saturday evening on the way home from North Adams. The temperature outside was…read moresubzero and unfortunately inside the restaurant was similar. Apparently the heating system was not functioning. We ordered a bottled domestic beer and a specialty cocktail. My beer was opened and the entire neck overflowed into the coaster. Despite 2 ounces being spilled I was not offered a fresh beer. The wet bottled was not wiped down and with no napkins, drops fell with my first few sips. The specialty cosmo had a substitute vodka as the bar was out of the particular flavored vodka listed in the menu. Despite these initials concerns we ordered food. I asked the server about specials and she replied with two portions of prime rib. Later come to hear there was no prime rib due to the facility issue mentioned earlier. My friend seemed pleased with the French onion soup. My burger was lacking in flavor, the main topping,mushrooms, and overcooked. This was a surprising result as the server asked twice if I wanted medium pink. Hopefully the small steps of service ans food will warm up!

It was our first and only time there, so I'm banking on that they were a little off their game. So it took about 20 minutes for us to get water, or a waitress. Then it took what felt like 3 minutes to get our apps and/or entrees, which came about 2 minutes apart. Big portions, so we didn't get dessert. But I will say that the food was excellent. They have mocktails too. There was no one there when we left, so it because less stressful. I'd go again.

The 4-star rating is mainly for the portions and service. I'm not saying that the food was crap,…read morebut just manage expectations and treat this more of a casual pub scene, rather than fine dining. The first time I came here, I actually did not eat or drink anything. That's because as I perused through the menu, the restaurant lost power from a thunderstorm. So they basically could not serve food for an unknown period of time. I thanked them for being informative and kind and moved on to a different spot for the evening meal. I decided to return a second time. The wings (Buffalo and garlic parmesan) were well-fried and flavorful. The risotto had too much balsamic vinegar on top, and the rice tasted a little sweet (think rice pudding). Both were turnoffs for me, and felt fortunate that it wasn't my order. The buffalo mac n' cheese was quite good, with a large portion that made it satisfying. Service was friendly and kind throughout and the decor was okay, though a little dark inside (even when they had electricity). This is a decent choice for food and it is on a main road.

We did get there slightly before 5pm which allowed us a quieter atmosphere for the first part of our meal. We ordered the mushroom and fennel sausage flat bread for an appetizer. It was amazingly flavorful and had super fresh mozzarella. We also both had a cup of the cold pea soup. It was thick and creamy and had a beautiful presentation. For our main meal, my husband ordered the salmon. He said that everything was cooked perfectly and it was quite flavorful. I had the public burger and truffle fries. The burger was juicy and huge!

This spot is popular and was relatively full even for an early dinner at around 5. My fiancé and I had the Brie burgers. Loved the concept but note that it seems more of a Brie spread than actual slices of Brie. Still tasty though. I didn't love that the bun was a tad cold. The Parmesan truffle fries are on point! So amazing! Portions for the burger and side of fries are generous. The spanakopita app was tasty but a bit salty. Service was okay. I'd totally return here if in the area again but, IMO, it didn't quite live up to the hype of earlier reviews. The food's definitely solid but not at the level I'd make a special trip here. There are two gender neutral restrooms, which were well appointed but the floor was a bit slippery due to folks tracking in snow in the winter. They may want to consider extending some mats to the restrooms. I was worried about my Mom, who is a senior with some mobility issues, slipping on the floors near the bathrooms.
