History
Since 1990, chef-owner Dan Smith has been offering a unique taste-of-place dining experience, long before farm-to-table was a trend. Built in the late 1700s, the restaurant offers rustic, country charm highlighting natural beauty in the Berkshires. Our stunning setting is surrounded by beautifully landscaped perennial gardens and sweeping views of the neighboring forest include an old icehouse built as part of the original farmstead. Guests enjoy a cozy fireplace in winter months and, in summer, al fresco dining is available on the terrace. We offer an extensive wine list, full cocktail bar and a lighter fare bar menu. Chef Dan holds a strong commitment to locavore principles supporting local farmers and artisan food makers in the Berkshires, Hudson Valley and Northwestern Connecticut. He develops his menu around regional producers and is inspired by the produce they bring to his kitchen door.
