The Berkshires have some of the best restaurants outside of NY (and maybe Boston). It's really quite exceptional for a weekend place. I'm sure no one will be surprised to learn this played a bigger role in our decision to buy here than Tanglewood. Pearl's is not one of those exceptional restaurants.
Pearl's is a large attractive looking Steak/Chop house in downtown Great Barrington. Their menu is heavy on "comfort food" like Steak, Fried Chicken, Meat Loaf, Liver. We go there because it is convenient and because Chris loves meat loaf. Unfortunately, they don't serve it in the wintertime.
W e went there recently with our friends Steve and Lillian. It's was a good choice for all of us as they are somewhat less adventurous than we are. We all started with salads which were quite good.
Zagats says:
Its “contemporary, chic” setting and “mouthwatering” New American fare bring a bit of “SoHo to the Berkshires” say loyalists who love this “upscale” Great Barrington sibling of Lenox’s Bistro Zinc; there’s an “energetic”, “exceptionally friendly” staff, the “best brunch” around and a bar area with “fresh” homemade chips; still, some are bothered by “aggressive pricing” and the “too chichi” feel of this “NYC wannabe.”
