Fabulous! There are not enough stars to rate this restaurant! I took my family here last night. Our waitress was so accommodating with my 18 month old granddaughter as she kindly served us. Each dish was absolutely delicious. I had the Risotto and my daughter...had the Mahi Mahi, superbly seasoned. She said it was the best Mahi Mahi she has ever had. All the dishes had flavors that delicately blended together, just wonderful! We definitely will come back.More
We have been here maybe 10 times over the years, and have always had wonderful experiences: Service, food, ambience. This the THE place for fine dining in the northern Berkshires, and one of the best restaurants in Massachusetts. Small. Be sure to reserve ahead. Not...pretentious. Just good.More
The Gypsy Apple is back with a vengeance. This destination restaurant in charming Shelburne Falls offers first rate food, imaginatively prepared, in an intimate setting. A reasonably priced, concise menu reflects seasonal, locally sourced ingredients, and the service is friendly yet professional. Limited wine list,...but an interesting selection and a good range of prices. The two appetizer specials we tried – spicy seafood gumbo and an heirloom tomato, cucumber and buratta salad in a green goddess dressing – were both memorable. The roast chicken dish, served with a sweet corn risotto, showed off the chef’s skills, and the catch of the day, a Faroe salmon dish served over lobster-infused mashed potatoes was perfect. The pot de creme rivaled the legendary version from the now defunct Green Street Café in Northampton. We will be back – often. Note that there is only a beer and wine license, and the A/C struggles a bit in extremely hot weather.More
This bistro is fun, has a friendly staff, and serves up really good food. Would I return? In a heartbeat. Heartily recommended.
We had heard many positive reviews about this bistro, so we made reservations. First, we really enjoy fine dining and its accompanying “no rush” pace, but the service here was slow. Nevertheless, we enjoyed our drinks and conversation while waiting. Our first courses - salads...- were very good, but not special. I found the dressing on my salad a bit too acidic. My husband really liked his main course - pork chops - but my chicken dish was overly salted. That said, it was perfectly seared and beautifully presented. Our server was very helpful (we asked her opinion about a couple dishes and her replies showed that she knew the menu!), friendly, and professional.More
NYE Prix Fixe menu was SUBLIME Hats off to the Chef. Foundationally, the quality of all ingredients, PHENOM. How the menu and dishes were orchestrated, the attention to tastes and perfect food preparation, like a concert from the kitchen to the table, to my mouth...had a perfect cadence. THE TASTES - nothing short of heavenly.More
It is amazing to me that little Shelburne Falls has a restaurant of this quality. It is a limited menu - 6 entrees and a special - but everything is cooked perfectly and served exquisitely. Call ahea for a reservation because they are very popular...(no surprise there) and they are small. They seat about 18 people at a time. Cozy, friendly and delicious. I try to get there once a month!More
Ma classe de Français a dîné à Gypsy Apple. C’était délicieux! The service was fantastic and the restaurant had a very authentic French atmosphere!
For my French class we took a Trip down to the Gypsy Apple. It was a nice atmosphere with excellent food. Great place to go for a nice dinner.
Terrific food and service. Best chef in Western Mass and would highly recommend that you reserve early as the restaurant only seats about 15-20 diners.
Dinner with friends on a hot, summer night. (The drive to Shelburne Falls is delightful this time of year and the town is lovely.) Note that the restaurant does not have A/C, but we were not uncomfortable in their fan-cooled space. Few tables and white...table cloths make for an intimate, elegant setting. Menu changes regularly and this night's offerings did not particularly inspire me. Nonetheless everything we had was deliciously prepared and very good. Excellent, personal service.More
One of the jewels in New Englands crown of top restuarants. Classy setting with service and food to match. Michaelangelo is a genius and his customers reap the rewards.
Our friend had been raving about this place so we drove up three hours to meet her for dinner on our way to Vermont. Service excellent....food fantastic.....high recommendation
This is an intimate 15 person restaurant. Even by Manhattan standards it is a very good bistro.You must try their potato pancakes. Unlike any others I have ever had and I live on the westside of Manhattan. How do you make a light,greaseless potato pancake.The...chef won't tell. I have considered kidnapping and torture to find outMore
Memorable dinner with friends! We took our foodie friends from Montréal to our favorite restaurant between Christmas and New Years. The soup had spices that felt both tingly and yummy; the Cesar salad was crisp, fresh, and uplifting; and the duck confit was tender and...satisfying. When our entrees arrived, we got so immersed in our respective dishes that silence descended upon us. The salmons were flaky while the skin crispy and flavorful. Perhaps the biggest winner was the filet. Our friend who often orders filet when going out said it was probably the best he’s ever had. It was generous in size, butter-tender throughout, with the mushroom sauce giving it a memorably full and rich experience. I forgot which red wine we were recommended but it was delicious. The desert was to die for. We were delighted and deeply satiated! Our friends said they may just have to visit us more often!!! Thank you, Chef Michelangelo!More
