   One of our favorites. The colonial atmosphere can't be beat. We sat next to one of the fireplaces and had delicious meal by candlelight.

   Extraordinary in every way. Candlelit dining area, fire lit rooms, evocative murals of rural life in times past, unpretentious but highly skilled service, and unassailable cuisine. This is a gem which should not be missed. And ps, who needs electric lighting! The Old Inn on the Green is a gift.

    Our waiter was extremely attentive. It was beautiful and cozy and and absolutely wonderful splurge for a special occasion. I love that they were able to cater to vegetarians or special palates. I’ve already recommended this restaurant to someone! Thank you for making my father’s birthday special.

    Lovey ambiance. Hostess was cold and unwelcoming. Risotto and lamb shank were uninteresting. I had called ahead to ask for a candle in my husband's dessert - we chose The Old Inn on the Green to celebrate his 60th birthday. When dessert arrived - nothing. Overall, disappointed. Did not live up to the hype.

    One of the best dining experiences we have ever had. The risotto was excellent! The roast beef strip loin was phenomenal; one of the top two or three beef dishes in my life…and I eat beef often!!! My wife and I both thought every course was excellent. The staff were prompt, courteous and on top of their game. The ambiance was really nice with only candles and fireplace for lighting; a little dark, but nice. Charming inn and restaurant. Truly a hidden gem off the beaten path. We will go out of our way to come back.

    The idea of candlelight dinner sounded wonderful. However, the food was lack luster. I had the tomato, coconut and saffron bisque and it was tasteless. My salmon was … ok. And for dessert I ordered the bread pudding. Some spots were warm some were still refrigerator cold. The atmosphere was cold, from the fire going out and a lack of any kind of holiday decorations or artwork on the wall.

    Very disappointing return to a formerly wonderful restaurant. Hostess and owner acted with hostility when we ask to be moved out of the bar to a table in one of the dining rooms. Menu was half of normal due to lack of staff. Service , one man for the room, he tried but service not as expected. Wine list small, not like the prepandemic days. Food not up to former standards; boring in the extreme. Supplement charges added to most pre fix items, lobster Pasta was good, just missing any real lobster meat. Elegance now missing; chintz comes to mind. Too bad, not worth the price, especially with the owner lady’s attitude.

    It’s a unique experience; dining in a restaurant entirely lit by candlelight. The atmosphere was my favorite part of dining here. The food was delicious and I would have liked to have had more wine but it was a long drive back to Lenox. I loved my risotto and bread pudding. The halibut was good. We heard that pre-Covid, dinner here had many more courses and lasted longer and I wish we had been there for that. Overall this was a solid choice and we thoroughly enjoyed this romantic restaurant.

    While we had heard only glowing things about the Inn, our meal which consisted of 6 different dishes was a huge disappointment. The entrees were overdone. Hen of the woods tasted almost stale. Even the desserts were not appealing. Instead of creamy ice cream, the cinnamon ice cream had pieces of ice within. Perhaps the chef was on holiday and his replacement not up to the task?

    We have been to the Old Inn several times starting about 7 years back. It used to feel like a European destination restaurant. It was definitely worth the very dark trek to get there at night. The candlelight and fireplace always felt very welcoming and beacon of what was to come. It was a chef driven tasting menu that was served elegantly yet homey without being overly casual. We really felt that The Old Inn was on the path to a Michelin star. Then over the years it felt as if there were many transitions happening. Most noticeably was the lack of creativity in the food and just as important the service. What was an elegant and unique affair felt like any country restaurant that is hit or miss. This dining experience was the worst of them all. First and foremost when you make a 6pm reservation you don’t expect to be seated outside the main dining room and literally shoved into a corner of a cold and lifeless room, and being the only 2 people in the room. There was absolutely no ambiance, no fire not even anything to look at on the walls. It was completely joyless. The wait service began and this was perhaps one of the worst in my days. There is no more tasting menu but a lackluster 3 course prix fix. My wine arrives and what was suppose to be Chardonnay tasted like a sweet cheap cooking wine. The waiter even admitted perhaps they poured a Riesling by accident. Regardless a wine that tastes sweet and cheap like that shouldn’t be on the menu at a place like this. From that moment on the waiter was literally a bumbling and nervous wreck. The way the waiter was literally “glugging” the water into our glasses was heavy and messy. Water splashing everywhere and pouring way too much at a time. The first course comes and I ordered an “Autumn Caesar Salad”. When I say these was an over saturated plain as day Caesar salad I am not exaggerating. What made it an “Autumn”? I couldn’t finish it. From that point to the mediocre dessert it was a mess.

    Thank god we had a lovely waiter and a great desserts. We were sat in a small room next to the bathroom, so continuous clomping around us occurred. When we asked to move the hostess threw a fit and seemed incredibly put off even though there were plenty of tables available. The food was bland and unexciting but the desserts were incredible. And the highlight was our waiter - a lovely man who looked like Benjamin Franklin and charmed us all night. Overall, a disappointing meal.

    Not as good as it used to be. Way overpriced for quality & quantity. Halibut dry, should have known being far from ocean but this is supposed to be a very high-end highly rated restaurant. Only a fixed menu forces you to get more than you might want yet must pay for it, then the portions are small which is fine but shouldn't charge typical prices for high-end restaurant. Also, looks like little has been put into upkeep of the inn, paint peeling and the tiny bathroom is gross.

    Completely outstanding across the board. Food was phenomenal, ambiance was perfect, service was friendly and knowledgeable. Their bourbon/spirits/wine list is impressively extensive, with ample small batch options as well as rare selections from major distilleries. Overall, a fantastic experience. Worthy of a Michelin star, if ever they are in the running.

    This candlelit environment (including chandelier that is candlelit) was serene and created the feel of dining in the old colonial days. The food was exceptional. Each course better than the one preceeding it. The cauliflower soup, the beet salad, the caesar salad, the halibut and the chicken were each simply perfection. The pacing for the food to come out and the portion sizes were exactly right to ensure that each course built upon the one before. The waiter was friendly but never intrusive. Everything came together to create perfect dinner.
