Reviews for Cafe Adam, Bar and Restaurant in Great Barrington, MA

We absolutely LOVED our dining experience at Cafe Adam. We stopped in for dinner at the bar in November while spending the... weekend in the Berkshires. The staff were extremely professional, knowledgeable and went to great lengths to ensure we enjoyedour dining experience and the food and drinks. The mussels were out of this world as was the goat cheese truffle toasts. Thecocktails were on point and seasonally appropriate and the ambiance was great too. Highly recommend for dinner if you’re inthe Berkshires! Read more

Scallop and fried pork belly: scallop could have been seared for a little bit longer to have that crunch I was looking for the... base was interesting cauliflower truffle bisque, pork belly was fried perfectly Oysters $4 each, nothing spectacular abouttheir oysters, a bit of sand in them not worth getting French onion bread: highlight worth getting Service was good. Food doescome in a bit slow so just be patient. Place gets packed on the weekends, make a reservation ahead of time. Bathrooms clean. Read more

This place is a gem. Beautiful atmosphere and refined food. The fried artichokes and scallop/pork belly dish are amazing. The... banana Napoleon dessert was unbelievable, perhaps one of the best desserts I've had. Read more

Was here last night celebrating my Birthday with friends. Cafe Adam never disappoints. I had the Steak Frites, perfectly cooked... and delicious. My friends had the Seafood puttanesca and Korean bbq ribs. All dishes were perfect. The staff is friendly andefficient. The drinks are always amazing and creative. A must visit restaurant not only for Great Barrington but for all of theBerkshires. Read more

Oh my god. This place is incredible. We are getting married in the Berkshires in September but came up for a summer weekend ,... and this place did not disappoint. From the ambiance to the service , to the food , just top notch. We had the burrata appetizer, which was tasty , but the main courses completely stole the show. I had the tuna Bento box , I’ve never had tuna steakcooked so perfectly . It comes with a crab fritter which is to die for. My fiancé had the scallops and pork belly , there areliterally no words to describe how incredible the flavors were. We can’t even think about our next meal because nothing willtaste as good as this ! Also a shout out to our server, Brandon. These guys know what they’re doing!!! Read more

Loved Cafe Adam, did a lot of research of where to go in the Berkshires and happy we settled here. We wanted non-typical... restaurant food and we found it here, definitely a caliber above most places. We had the seafood bouillibaisse and Bolognese, sodamn good. Our server was great, gave good recommendations for food and drinks. Awesome place would definitely return. Read more

Yum. Great restaurant, with extremely accommodating staff and servers. The food is amazing, I suggest getting the venison and... the artichokes. Will make an effort to come back here every season. Read more

We were very much anticipating our meal at Cafe Adam. We managed to get a last minute friday reservation the night before and... felt like we won the lottery. Seating was prompt and we had an awesome nook within the indoor patio section. We were botheredby mosquitoes for the entire evening (wish their were ceiling fans in that park of the nook, with the brown tufted leathercouch)- { mid oct 5pm dining } The menu is really unique and seems like there is something for everyone. Our waitress wasgreat; she fielded our many questions about foods, ingredients, recommendations, etc. Our appetizers: a bread order + the fried artichokes. Loved the artichoke with the aioli, but the grilled bread had strong hints of beef tallow flavors (perhapsthey used the same grill for their steaks? Just a theory) Entrees: the clam linguine; mom said they tasted great, and theserving size was plenty. Scallop + pork belly; scallops were seared and delicious, my wife wished some of the scallops had adarker sear (color wasn’t even amongst all scallops); the pork belly portion resembled thick cut / deep fried bacon. We werehoping it was something braised or grilled. Accompanying vegetables were superb in the pesto sauce. My dinner: steak (ribeye,medium rare) frites. Shoestring fries were plentiful and salty. Steak was beautifully medium rare, albeit a bit under seasoned.I’ve been thinking over this for some time and I realize it may be under seasoned purposely to go with their steak sauce(which tasted like a milder Hoisin sauce) or go along with the very salty fries. My only mild complaint was that I hoped theribeye had come out with a more charred/carmelized outer crust since it was freshly grilled. Otherwise it was a deliciouschoice. Dessert was the Moltado(sp?), which my wife gave two thumbs up. Overall, a pretty good experience. Ambiance and decorwere very neat, warm, and rustic. I definitely would have swapped our bread order for their wild mushroom sautéed in butter (h Read more
