The Cliff House

Fantastic restaurant with beautiful scenery. I was staying on the property and decided to try the restaurant, which turned out to be a great choice. The food is unique and very well executed. The flageolet cassoulet was excellent. A really interesting mix of meats that worked together beautifully and felt genuinely special. The beef ragu was also very good, with nicely cooked beef. The gnocchi were more like baked dough balls than traditional gnocchi, with about ten pieces in the dish, but still enjoyable. For sides, the potatoes were excellent. The broccolini was tasty but very small in portion size. Dessert was cheesecake, which was well made but very dense and loaf-like. My fiancée enjoyed it more than I did. Breakfast food was good, but the mandatory 20 percent gratuity was disappointing. Service was noticeably weaker than dinner, and we often had to get up to ask for things ourselves. If service is minimal, a mandatory tip does not feel appropriate. Raising menu prices slightly and allowing guests to tip based on experience would feel more fair.

This is an amazing farm to table restaurant which is in the unique setting that is not quite a boutique hotel and not quite glamping - the cabins of Prospect Berkshires. The Cliff House is a restaurant on the property (open to those who are not staying in the cabins) where the food is not only delicious and well prepared, but in a truly breath-taking setting. Everything we ordered was well prepared, interesting, and excellent. As appetizers, we enjoyed the Rainbow Carrots and Fish Croquettes. We both enjoyed our main courses, the Steelhead Trout and Lamb Stew (which our server said is quite popular, and remarkably light for such a dish). They also have some interesting drinks - alcoholic and alcoholic. Service was excellent - attentive but not overbearing, and really pleasant staff. It is worth coming here 30 minutes before sunset (if the timing works) so you can see the grounds, take in the golden light, and enjoy the slow change over to night. Reservations often fill up at this restaurant, and once you come you will know why!

We had a wonderful experience at The Cliff House, where we celebrated my girlfriend's birthday. We were lucky enough to get a last-minute table, even though reservations were fully booked for the entire week — a huge thank you to Lannon for accommodating us! The food was excellent, and we loved the presentation. The drinks not only looked amazing, they tasted even better. I'll be making an excuse to be back wayyyy sooner rather than later! Thanks again, Cliff House!!

Magical and peaceful location with excellent cocktails, wine list and food! The location by the lake is so beautiful! As soon as we parked we were greeted our golf cart driver who gave us a ride to the restaurant and told us about the cabins in the property (can’t wait for a staycation!!). We were escorted by the cutest family of ducklings quacking alongside us. Restaurant is a sight to behold! We started with the buttered bread toasts that were mouthwatering and delicious (seriously never had such tasty bread!!), then beef carpaccio, asparagus, kale salad (which I sometimes find it’s like chewing hay, but this one was deliciously dressed and went down easy!!). We had the chicken breast (boneless, juicy and succulent) and the trout. Every bite perfectly cooked, fresh, so satisfying! Nancy Thomas nailed it again!!! Sooo good! The location is incredibly beautiful and look forward to a stay at the gorgeous cabins next time!

Hard to say what was my favorite part about my experience at the Cliffhouse. Walking up to the restaurant the scenery was absolutely magical and serene. Would go alone for just the view alone but then add on the fantastic food and there is nothing bad about this place. Highly reccommend you will enjoy your experience no doubt

The ambiance and the physical space is pretty remarkable. It's very warm and charming on a cold winter night. The food was good but I felt a little pricey for what was served. Service was not so good. On a Thursday night it took nearly 30 minutes for us to put our drink orders in - we nearly walked, except my wife got the attention of the manager and they brought us over some small appetizer plates to keep us in the corral. Next time we're eating at the bar to take the service variable out of the equation.

We can't rave enough about Chef Damian Evangelous's brilliant cuisine at The Cliff House. We had two dinners there recently and everything was phenomenal. Truly exquisite in all aspects. We tried everything from the small bites, apps, mains, drinks, and desserts and there wasn't a miss. Remarkably spectacular was his deconstructed vegetarian mushroom main dish. The steak was perfectly prepared and delicious. And did I mention the perfectly prepared chicken? Yum. You MUST try this place before Chef Damian winds up in NYC!

Wow. We are local business owners and have eagerly anticipated this opening . Arrived on a rainy Saturday to be greeted by friendly staff offering a ride to the restaurant in a golf cart - ensuring we would be seated dry and in good spirits . Speaking of spirits , had lovely drinks followed by equally lovely apps . One of which was correctly lauded in the recent Travel and Leisure article / if the rainbow carrots are on the menu- highly suggest them ! Nice portions . The staff were all F/B veterans and many knew us from patronizing their former restaurants- made for a welcoming connection. The mains were nicely paced to arrive after we finished starters . Terrific lamb dish and veggie sides - which the chef prepared to order (request for no garlic). Order the buttered toast - worth it ! We skipped dessert - although they looked inviting . The coffee was hot and delicious . The bill was another pleasant surprise- quite reasonable given our full meal and drinks . High ceilings , good ambience and acoustics - we sat next to a big family with lots of kids but could still enjoy a conversation . We are already looking forward to our next visit - and if we don’t make reservations , looks like we can walk in and eat at the bar . Finally, the sheepskin lined seats all surrounded beautiful views of the lake and woods . This spot is a classic in the making . Welcome to the neighborhood. Best wishes for much success . You are certainly off to a strong start !

Lovely spot overlooking the lake. Sit outside on their covered patio! The menu is seasonal - our party of four enjoyed the pork schnitzel which was good and enough for two to share. The mushroom ragu pasta was also excellent. Service was professional and fits right it with the classy atmosphere. Entrees are in the 30's and 40's which is expected for a place like this. We'll be back!

Had an amazing dinner here. Pre fix Christmas Eve 3 course. Service was easy and helpful. Food was delicious. Loved the soup. Excellent vibe, especially after using the sauna/cold plunge.

I am a total restaurant snob. Have spent most of my life working in high end restaurants. I'm never happy. I always feel like people forgot about the "experience " of an amazing dinner out. This restaurant gets it. Service was always there,( how many places can say that?) . Attentive. The atmosphere! Wow. Almost thought I was not in this country! ( Liked that thought). The food(my background is cooking, hence the reason I'm a snob), was wonderful. I can not wait to go back. They get it. Good for them.

My Husband and I and two of our Good Friends went to dinner there a couple of weeks ago - and My Goodness, was I impressed - Food and service was incredible - The setting was perfect - we sat on the porch with the lake right below us - We then tried the Klocke Estate - Setting- beautiful - service was great - but I have to say The Cliff House beat it when it came to the Food - Can't wait to goi back !! Five Star Restaurant all the way.

Visually lovely. Really friendly staff greets u at car park. Things are well thought out for guests. Transport, layout, activities. Having had dinner twice since they opened, I thought I'd give my thoughts...the restaurant is well done, fits the ambiance of the grounds and is lovely. There is, however, no AC and we were there on a summer early evening, so it was painfully hot. Views are lovely, staff attentive and so very nice. I had the best martini I've had in a while. Where they lost us was the food...very limited selection on the menu, so u expect the choices to be stellar. They aren't. My chicken was a bit dry and just ok. Others in my party were satisfied, not blown away. I want to mention starters. Great opportunity here. Horrible nuts, minuscule servings. Yes these are appetizers; but, these were more like Amuse bouche. Tartare was excellent, but again, not a $30. Portion . A little stingy. I still will return because I love the ambiance. I'm rooting for the food!
