Frommer's Review

A share of the credit for Great Barrington's growing rep as a gastronomic destination has to go to this self-assured enterprise. Traditionalists grumble that this follow-up to the owners' stylish Zinc, in Lenox, is more Manhattan than Berkshires, and it clearly isn't country cookin'. The presence of a floor-to-ceiling painting of a bull of regal bearing and a large print of a resplendent wild turkey rightly imply that beef and game are the way to go. The New York strip, filet mignon, and curry-rubbed lamb loin come with tasty sides and straightforward preparations that are hard to beat for flavor. Buttermilk fried chicken with fried okra, and breaded pork chops with crawdad and sausage grits are just as satisfying. If they have it, don't resist the caramel banana strudel as a finisher. Since most of the menu items can be cooked quickly, expect to be in and out within an hour, unless you purposely slow down delivery.
