    For covid outdoor eating the space is spacious and service totally fine. This particular food truck was not that great (although the people who worked there are incredibly kind and friendly).

    The advertised high rated restaurant was closed. The replacement was a food trailer serving hamburgers, hotdogs jerk chicken and fries. We ordered the fries from the truck and they were delivered promptly. They were average to low quality. We did not order anything else from the trailer. The website for the Hotel North did not provide any information regarding the food we would be offered in replacement of their usual fare. If were informed, we would have made alternate plans and not had a negative view of the situation.

    Would like to know what food will be available before reserving! How about fewer "please confirm reservation" emails/texts? Turned out there was hardly anyone there Sat eve 7pm.

    Great option for a casual outdoor meal - under a tent with great natural ventilation. Good selection of cocktails and local draft beers. Biggins Diggins food truck had great BBQ selections and delicious Lobster Rolls at great prices.

    The food truck food was great and we were able to have a watermelon margarita and stay socially distanced. Great experience I would recommend but check what the truck will be because it changes weekly! Ours was Mexican and lobster roll and was great!

    Delicious salad, always, any time of year. Mussels were wonderful and an enormous portion. My husband was very happy with his burger, and the fries were real potatoes, sliced and a nice dark brown. All good. And a good pour of delicious wines made it a great meal.

    Grabbed lunch. Great food, place was not busy but seems the local folks support it well. Also has a hotel attached. Either way if your looking for good food in Pittsfield this is the spot.

    Lunch was GREAT...the grilled cheese and tomato soup with the homemade potato chips is sooooo delicious. Our waitress, Saady, was exceptional; very friendly and attentive. We can't wait to return!
