This is truly a hidden gem! We attended a whiskey tasting hosted here. The food was indicative of a high end restaurant! The bar selection is probably the best selection of whiskeys in Berkshire County! Highly recommended!

If I could go here every weekend I would and I would order the oxtail for an appetizer and the pork chop for dinner. It’s not a small pork chop, it’s a PORK CHOP! The owners are super nice and very well respected in this area. Love the atmosphere and food is AMAZING! The PORK CHOPS, YUM!

I placed an order of $100 and not only was I served plastic cheese that I could not bite through but my $10 appetizer was sitting in an inch of oil. I proceeded to eat the rest of my meal and immediately had to run to the bathroom to vomit. The restaurant was notified of the issue and but refused to do anything about the fact that they gave me food poisoning or the fact that the meal that I received was not subpar but was inedible!

My mom and I came here for my birthday dinner and everything was AMAZING. We got the Brussels, beet salad, I got the cat fish, my mom got the pulled pork sandwich, fries, and mac and cheese. Every single bite was so flavorful and delicious! Fresh ingredients. Our drinks were also delicious. I look forward to coming back next time I’m in the area! Service was excellent as well. Great vibe all around.

The food is also extremely good best fried green tomatoes lol bar tender never lets your drink get low either just awesome service all around. When I am back in town I'll grab there names and update

Wow, authentic and delicious southern cooking. So unique and unexpected! A Pittsfield secret that shouldn't be. On the 2nd floor of the Holiday Inn, the casual atmosphere was upbeat with music, the service staff was very welcoming and friendly, cocktails made very well, and the food is the main star. Our party tried the jalapeño cheddar hush puppies with a horseradish sauce and the loaded potato with pulled pork and a jalapeño cheese sauce. Both were flavorful and enjoyed. All the entrees we ordered were delicious and with sooo much flavor. The heat is savory and not at all offensive. The Gumbo was authentic. One in our party really enjoyed the pecan encrusted catfish over dirty rice. I also ordered the catfish but with the option to replace the pecans with an andouille ragu. It was the right choice as I relished every bite. My wife had the shrimp and grits with a creole brown butter. We all tasted this dish and called it a real winner that we'll all be craving. There are so many other items on the menu I also look forward to trying in the future. The prices are reasonable, the quality and care are superb. We asked to speak with the chef who prepared our meals. He and both owners took the time to chat with us. Tucker and John are very passionate about their place and offering fine southern fare. My only regret is not coming here sooner. That's okay, I know we'll make up for lost time. Highly recommend you go with a mindset to relax, explore, and enjoy.

We booked a table for 7pm for 2 people, on the recommendation of the Sales Manager who greeted our party when we checked in. We were 10 mins early for our table. We ordered, and when the food still hadn’t arrived after over an hour the waitress assured us it was 5 mins away. Sometime later it finally arrived, only it was the order for another table. When our food eventually arrived, the fish and ratatouille were very tasty, the rice and green beans were cold….presumably waiting for the fish to arrive. The owner/chef came into the restaurant to talk to the patrons, but avoided our table…two women unimportant? I feel sorry for the waitresses, having to deal with the incompetence of the kitchen. Suggest they get a job elsewhere. Wish we had decided to eat out.

I attended a wedding at the Holiday Inn a couple weeks ago and the food was done by 101. The chef, and I believe owner, John went above and beyond to accommodate my gluten restriction. Not only assuring me that my main course would be gluten free but he went out of his way and made one of the appetizers on gluten free toast just for me so I could enjoy it too. All the food was amazing and delicious, but even more importantly for me was the kindness and care John took in making sure my food was gluten free. Highly recommend, especially if you cannot have gluten. He understands.
Great meal, staff and drinks !
