413.528.2118 allium@mezzeinc.com According to Google Maps the restaurant is an 18 minute drive from the cottage when there is no traffic. Yelp: American (New), Bars From the restaurant website: The Restaurant Allium offers laid-back elegance in the urban countryside of Great Barrington. The bistro-style restaurant offers refined, contemporary American cuisine, warm hospitality and exceptional service. The name, which refers to the onion genus, has a soft musicality about it, which complements the comfortable charm and elegance of the space. Blond woods and natural fibers predominate in the long, rectangular room that you enter, in addition to a more traditional dining room to the left — where a window to the kitchen offers a glimpse of what’s happening backstage. In warm weather, the front wall on the bar side of the restaurant recedes to expose the street, giving the interior an airy openness for dining and drinking al fresco. The Menu The menu at Allium Restaurant + Bar celebrates the seasons with an ever-changing mix of ingredients sourced from a wide range of farms and food producers in the region. At Allium, the chef works closely with the fishmongers and farmers of the region who bring him their prized products, which in turn are cooked to perfection. On any given night, it is not unusual to see one of the fishmongers or nearby farmers having dinner at the restaurant who want to experience the farm-to-table concept and see the final result of their initial labor.

Marketplace Kitchen Table recently opened on Stockbridge Road (Route 7) on your way to Great Barrington. The chef is wonderful - I have had his creations at catered events and the food is always tasty. People in the area have recommended the restaurant to me and i can't wait to go there. I think it would be a great lunch place or casual dining, but they are also open for breakfast (and I will have to try that too!). The restaurant is about 15 minutes from the Cottage.
