I’ve fallen in love with Heirloom Lodge. Nestled in the location of the former Williamsville Inn in West Stockbridge, it’s been artfully reimagined by local architects Group AU into a stunning double-height space. My husband, James, and I love sitting at the bar, watching Chef (and owner) Matt Straus and his team work their culinary magic in the open kitchen. It’s like watching a live episode of “The Bear,” minus the screaming and chaos.
Their concise menu is beautiful in its simplicity. Bacon and onion tart. Rotisserie chicken for two with roasted garlic bread pudding. Berry shortcake. Paired with selections from their excellent wine list, it’s our idea of a perfect meal.
What keeps us coming back is the ambiance—elegant yet homey, like a slice of Napa Valley right here. Heirloom Lodge has truly elevated the local dining scene, becoming our go-to for a night out and setting a new standard for Berkshire restaurants.
