At Mezze Bistro + Bar in Williamstown, we had one of the best meals we've had in a long time. The farm-to-table concept is imaginatively and flawlessly executed here. I had a perfectly cooked pan-roasted halibut in a light provencale-type sauce, with a roasted beet appetizer. My husband had the pork loin, which was plump and flavorful; and the Mighty Food Farm egg appetizer, a playful twist on a soft-boiled/hard-boiled egg. We shared a cheese plate for dessert. Everything was exquisite. Short but great wine list, with unusual selections. I had a Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire Valley, which was wonderfully crisp; the waiter recommended an ale for my husband that was perfect. Terrific, unobtrusive service by well-trained waiters: a "you-guys"-free zone. The latest menu, updated for Fall, looks great.
We also enjoyed Gramercy Bistro in North Adams. Wonderfully hand-crafted and engagingly presented food is made from locally sourced ingredients. I had the best sweetbreads of my life - light and heavenly, with a green salad topped with local chevre and a delicate vinaigrette. My husband had a perfect filet served with a potato puree and green beans - simple but wonderful. He pronounced the chicken liver mousse app the best he had eaten anywhere in the world, including France - transcendent. There's a short but thoughtfully assembled wine list with reasonably priced wines by the glass, including a Celestin Blondeau sauvignon blanc (France) that was just terrific. Service was pleasant but a bit uneven.
