Tried going last week, but as a solo diner was shunted to a very narrow and comfortable bar. They said that it is “policy” to not seat an individual at the tables, even if several are open, as was the case when I was there. This policy is out dated, arrogant and obnoxious. I had been a loyal customer and usually came with my family, here and to the co-owned Inn on the Green, but this is disrespectful at a minimum. A polite letter sent to the owner on this subject has gone noticeably unanswered.
DE-LISH…great for brunch!

The Berkshire Babe was in heaven. “Wow!“ she said. “This is the best mole I’ve ever had—it’s sweet, smoky, spicy, with layers of flavors. It gets better with every bite.“ The mole, which was served with an astonishingly juicy and flavorful pork tenderloin ($20), is on the menu every Thursday when the Southfield Store has its Oaxacan Night. Since last year, the Southfield Store—an old general store that was gentrified in restrained Martha Stewart-style by a previous owner—has been owned by Peter Platt and Meredith Kennard of the redoubtable Old Inn on the Green. Now, they’ve let their chef—Gustavo A. Perez who worked with Peter at Wheatleigh years ago—cook the food of his native state on Thursday nights. “It’s hard to find real Mexican food in the Berkshires,“ says Perez, who makes every taco and tostado to order. “That’s why the food comes out slow, but I think it’s worth it,“ he says. It certainly is.
