We we’re a party of 4. Delicious food with fantastic wine pairing. Jenny, Jamaica and the entire team were all very welcoming, professional and knowledgeable. We couldn’t be more impressed with the culinary teams skill, food preparation and execution. Will definitely be back to dine soon with more friends who love great food.

very creative, beautifully presented food that was excellent in taste. The service was outstanding, and the flexibility offered to accomodate my wife's food restrictions was very appreciated. Jenny the hostess made us feel very welcomed whe we arrived, during our meal, and a warm goodbye. We will return again.

A delightful dining experience form start to finish. Excellently prepared food, beautiful presented, carefully selected wines and knowledgeable waitstaff. All in a gorgeous finely crafted 1894 mansion on a hill. A special treat for those special occasions.

Thanksgiving dinner 2022…overpriced fixed menu at $80 per person even if you bring a child thats 6 year old…fish dish came in cold, had to wait very long in between appetizer and main meal. Service was mediocre, had to repeatedly ask for the same thing like olive oil or for someone to light up the candle. For $330 plus tip you would expect a 5 star experience, unfortunately this place disappoints with rushed food, poor service and lack refinement expected from such place.

Service and good were wonderful. Ambience is sterile and depressing and efforts to align with the “miraval” brand has meant a complete lack of continuity with the history or aesthetic of this great historic “Cottage”. It’s a shame.

We were celebrating a birthday. Everything was perfect! Julie at the bar made the perfect cocktails, Sarah and Jamaica were amazing in the dining room. The food looked like it belonged in magazines. Everything was delicious! 1894 was amazing - we will be back!

Beautiful room in the guided age “cottage”. Our server was pleasant and attentive. The wine pairings were nice and accommodating to one non-red drinker. The food was delicious and with lovely presentation. I had the lamb, perfectly prepared and with a nice sauce my husband had the duck and was also pleased. You should go in hungry because by the time four courses are finished, you will be quite full!

We were excited for fine dining in our trip to the Berkshires and saw 1894 had availability and a tasting menu with wine pairings. Ultimately, the wine selection was mediocre (not really paired well), and the food was decent but nothing great. With the truffle risotto - it seemed like the cooked the truffle into the risotto which killed the flavor and likely used a jarred truffle or frozen truffle butter. Smoked mushroom chitarra was actually just fettuccine with butter on it and some chopped mushrooms, and dry… no smoke flavor, so again, not great. Scallops were slightly over cooked, duck was solid. What would have gone great with the intermezzo sorbet was a splash of bubbly in it. Service was great but they were mostly clueless about the wine. I would give it another try, just in case the chef was having an off night, but I would set my expectations much lower the next time.

Wonderful old Manor House with amazing views, be sure to get there earlier to enjoy a drink on the terrace with the beautiful Berkshires in the distance. The food was sublime and the service 6 star! Thank you to everyone at 1894 who made our night a memory to treasure, would not hesitate to recommend.

We used to dine at Cranwell regularly on visits to Tanglewood. The menu and food quality now are a step up from what they were before Miraval took over. Get set for outstanding gourmet dining.

The food was excellent, the setting really lovely, and the service was superb. Highly recommend. We were in an early seating (6pm) for dinner and it was very quiet in a nice way but it may get livelier as the crowd comes in. Kudos to the chef and the wait staff.

The food was fantastic. The Fois Gras was particularly good, but the duck and the desert (chocolate and ice cream was great as well). The pairing with Champaign and wine was also great. The service was excellent. We told them that we had to drive back to Boston and they really served us without lengthy breaks.

The food and ambiance at this restaurant is wonderful. Unfortunately, they have changed to a pre-fix menu only. That is disappointing as one does not always want to do (or have the time to do) a full 4 or 6 course tasting menu with wine while in the Berkshires. I will enjoy it for a special occasion but feel that it is a disserve to the restaurant and space to not allow for ala cart dining.

Room with zero ambiance. We were offered a table in the corner facing a wall. They moved us to a better table upon request. No cocktail service offered until requested. Very badly made martini was result. Food was occasionally good - fruit roll-up amuse was the only really good bite. Other dishes lacked sauces and seasoning and were poorly presented. Service was friendly but inept. After receiving the main course I needed to flag down the server for forks, the paired wine, and water. But for this you pay $$$$ with a mystery 15% admin fee (legality?) and can only leave cash as gratuity.

This restaurant doesn’t even allow the public anymore, you have to be a guest at Miraval resort. Yet they still have it in open table, refuse to serve us and have the Gaul to ask for a review!

We had a great lunch here before seeing a TLI concert. Service was quick, food was delicious. Standouts included the blackberry salad, the burger, and the pumpkin cheesecake. Can’t wait to come back in warmer weather to eat outside on the patio.
