Disappointed the grab and go offerings were gone as well as the wine. Limited offerings will make me rethink visiting this Cafe.Hopefully I'll sè a change on my next half dozen visits

I've eaten at a lot of museum cafes and this ranks as one of the best. Not a huge selection, but everything was fresh and tasty. Fair for current prices. Wouldn't hesitate to eat here again or recommend to anyone visiting the museum.

This is a cafe inside the museum. The cappuccino is good. Salads and cookies at a good level. But it's still a museum cafe. Functional and rather cool looking furniture.

nice place! the only thing that’s kind of expensive is the kombucha, but we got a couple teas for about $5. the lemonade tea is cool and the drinks/food are pretty. the environment for the cafe is also quiet and nice. most of the containers are eco-friendly, too.

My friend and I planned to eat at The Clark before touring the current special exhibit. We had wonderful, healthful food at a fair price. I enjoyed a corn and crab chowder with just enough jalapeño to add flavor but not blow one’s head off, which came with a lovely fresh roll. The fresh watermelon cup that my friend and I both chose for dessert was refreshing and helpfully cut into small, manageable chunks. This was a repeat visit for me, and I shall definitely look forward to repeating again.

I have been to a fair number of museum cafes here and abroad, and can sincerely say that the Clark’s Cafe 7 stands as the best. Not only that, but it is also one of the best restaurants in the Berkshires. It is well-placed at the Clark and offers a superb gustatory adventure to complement the exquisite visual experience of the museum. I say this on the basis of weekly visits over the past year and through menus that have quarterly changes. I have NEVER been disappointed in the quality of the offerings, their prices, the cleanliness of the entire facility or the friendliness and efficiency of the staff. The current menu features freshly prepared grab and go items, hot items direct from the kitchen and, during the summer, an outdoor grill that features the best garden burger I’ve ever had, a succulent bratwurst, five-spice Chinese style ribs (!) and the obligatory burgers (Angus, no less) and hot dogs. Inside, the entrées from the simple and comforting sunflower butter and jelly sandwich to the sublime pan seared Maryland crab cakes are of gourmet quality. My current weaknesses are the grilled pastrami rueben and the curry chicken salad. The former is a perfectly balanced construction of pastrami, Finlandia Swiss cheese, Russian dressing and sauerkraut on marble rye. The latter is deftly curried chicken atop mixed greens, roasted almonds and red grapes — with a subtle white balsamic vinaigrette. No less impressive are the guiltless grilled portobello on rosemary focaccia with herbed chèvre cheese and the strawberry spinach quinoa salad. Soups are a Thai coconut vegetable and, my favorite, roasted corn and crab chowder with lump crab meat, andouille sausage and red bell peppers. And don’t be afraid to splurge on the aforementioned crab cakes with homemade creole remoulade. Just listing the ingredients in these offerings is sufficient to set one’s mouth watering, and it is gratifying to know that only the finest versions of these are used at Cafe 7. The entire menu is expertly curated by Chef Chris Gouty, whose preparations are the definition of gourmet and who sets his standards exceptionally high as befits a restaurant housed in the this singular art institute. How anyone other than a taste-impaired miser could fault this treasure is baffling. Along with the Clark, it is one of the perks of Williamstown and is worth a visit on its own.

WORST service I've ever had. Rude waitress. I ordered pasta that clearly stated it came with a salad and when I asked her where the salad was she blankly stared at me and went 'oh, right.'
