    I'd say a slightly above-average overall experience, in a somewhat generic restaurant environment with a slightly corporate feel to it (tables slightly too large for intimate conversation, upholstered chairs and benches). The space is designed to look like a barn - but it is new construction. Friendly service.

    I generally like this place but just feel that the food could be better. It seems to be somewhere between a very good restaurant and a pub. Moving the quality of the food up a few notches would make it an essential part of visiting Williamstown.

    We've dined at the Barn several times and this was the worst service we've had. Our waitress, Karma, seemed overwhelmed, although it was not overly busy and completely forgot we wanted a second round of drinks. The menu also seems more limited, with only one special and only one fish and one vegetarian entree. The quality of the food was still very good.

    The food comes to the table way too quickly As soon as you order it, it’s clearly prepped because it’s in front of you in less than five minutes. I didn’t even have a chance to sip my cocktail. It feels like they rush you out but that said the service was very good and the space is nice And the food was decent although the mac & cheese was cold because I’m sure they have bowls just sitting there waiting to go out on the table right away

    We have been coming here for years for reliable fare. I think the chef has changed. The French Toast used to be exquisite: somewhat caramelized and well seasoned with cinnamon and vanilla and piping hot. It was a favorite of one person in our party. However, maybe they have changed chefs. The last three times we have gotten it, it has been bland, doughy, and underwhelming, including barely warm. It’s really too bad. The new chef has also added Old Bay Seasoning to the potatoes that come with many breakfast orders. This is a mistake, as the flavor is overpowering for a morning meal. One can get the potatoes without OBS, but one has to ask.

    The room in which we ate dinner was dominated by a group of six who were very loud, making it very difficult for others to communicate with each other. The service was fine and the meal was fine, though a bit overpriced, I thought.

    My BLT was perfect and delicious with the crisp bacon and the sour dough bread. But the falafel which two of us had was awful. More like sawdust than falafel as it was way overcooked. We did like the atmosphere and decor. The service was a bit spotty as we had to wait for attention. But pretty good overall.

    Our meals were delicious although one of our orders wasn’t exactly as ordered. However, it was corrected immediately. Service was a little slow, but I realize that staffing is a large problem currently in the service industry and we were not in a hurry. We are looking forward to dining at The Barn in the future.

    The salmon and duck were tasty and done to perfection...and the creme brulee was a WOW! Our compliments to the chef. James, our server, took great care of us. He was personable as well as knowledgeable about all the menu offerings and bar items. His recommendations were spot on. Thank you James for a pleasant evening by taking care of us and making us feel special.

    I was recommended to try eating here, some of the food was excellent, but the rest was more average. And for the price, I would have thought the food would be better than average. The dessert was tasty, but didn’t live up to the expectations of the name. I’ll definitely try it again, but not the level of excellence I would have expected.

    Our dinner experience at The Barn last night was truly exceptional. The ambiance was clean and elegant, setting the perfect tone for a great evening. The waitstaff impressed us with their friendliness and attentiveness, making us feel genuinely welcome. The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the cocktails - they were excellent, crafted with precision and creativity. The appetizers and main courses didn't disappoint either; each dish was a burst of flavors, and we savored every bite. And to top it all off, the dessert was nothing short of phenomenal. Overall, The Barn exceeded our expectations, and we look forward to returning for another memorable dining experience.

    A classy and tasteful restaurant, located within the Williams Inn (which also appears tasteful and classy--we came just for the restaurant, but thought we 'd even consider staying at the inn sometime). The food was delicious and beautifully presented, the service friendly and pretty much flawless. We came for brunch, and the prices were respectable. It was the perfect place to eat before heading for the Munch exhibit at The Clarke Institute.

    While the food was delicious, this restaurant is no longer honoring Open Table reservations. We showed up and they didn’t have us in their reservations despite the confirmation email from open table. Be sure to call them for a reservation. They did manage to find a table in the bar for us, but we were lucky as they were full. They said they no longer use Open Table.

    Four of us enjoyed a delightful Sunday Brunch at the Barn. Eggs Benedict and Avocado Toast were two favorites. The only food disappointment was that the Beyond Burger mentioned in the on-line menu wasn't available. The service was attentive and the ambiance quiet enough that we could enjoy our company. We will rebook on our next visit to Williamstown.

    Just ok. First off...it's brunch on Saturday. We order decaf and it's cold. Hmm. My falafels were definitely old and fried more than once. Hard has carbon. Rest of the meal unremarkable at best. Tables are close to each other so I definitely wanted to whisper so my neighbors didn't hear all my business.

    We were walk-ins the day before at 5:30 and although the restaurant and outdoor patio were nearly empty we weren’t seated, but using Open Table we booked for 5 the following day. We enjoyed the patio, had great cocktails, service and food, but found the host rather cold and distant, even if with a reservation. Despite being adjacent to a well-known New England college, we wondered if our experience had anything to do with being two men dining together.

    We got married at The Williams Inn and celebrated our first wedding anniversary at the Barn. James was our waiter and he was the best! He gave us champagne and a wonderful dessert recommendation and was just overall so kind and thoughtful. The food was delicious and it was a wonderful experience. We will definitely be going back (for date nights and celebrations!) It was lovely!

    Noted that we were celebrating our anniversary and they did not do anything special. Two years ago they were more attentive to our special occasion. The food was not as extraordinary.
