Castle Street Cafe

"Popular with transplanted New Yorkers and locals" alike, this "dependable" Great Barrington American-French bistro serves up "old favorites done well" in lighter preparations at the "lively" bar - which is "enhanced by cool jazz on weekends" - and "more pricey" full dinners in the "spacious" dining room; a "courteous" staff is another reason it packs an "invariably full house." —Zagat 2010
