The staff seemed very disorganized. Took a long time to get two drinks. And then the beer was flat. Food was OK at best given the price. Atmosphere was nice though.

Drinks were great!! Nice unique options for cocktails and mocktails. The rigatoni with pork shoulder lacked flavor and depth, despite being our server's favorite dish. I'd try District again and order different food!

What a wonderful dining experience. The mussels with sausage and tomato rags and kale were excellent. Make sure to add the pasta. The sauce was so good I used the al dente pasta and baguette to mop up every drop.

Aside from the bland steak, the service is really lacking. A girl spilled splashes of the steak sauce on my pants. Aside from given a wet towel, no one checked on me again. I was told by the waiter, "at least it is delicious" – Delicious what? Delicious pants! Walking out with greasy streaks on my "delicious pants".

I go regularly in summer on Saturday nights, like the small plates and generous drinks (a Manhattan; 14 but was generous). Olives: roasted tomato soup; shrimp and grits; GREAT shrimp, garlicy. Thought the grits were under seasoned, expect butter, cheese, salt, a combination. None of these. Small hiccup to me.

Have been coming on and off for many years. It's a nice spot for a date, couples night out, and the service is usually quite good. But, the food deliciousness factor has its ups and downs, but it's always good, just not always great. Note to chef, please please add some cheesiness factor to the Mac and cheese!! The Mac is sorely missing its ooey gooey cheesey part of the package.

Stopped in on our way home in search of a good steak. Unfortunately, we did not realize that the steak we saw online was a Valentine's day special and no longer available the following night. So we opted for a cheese & charcuterie appetizer, steak frites, and pork tenderloin for our mains. The cheese selection was very nice accompanied by out-of-this-world garlic jam. There was a $5 additional charge to add the charcuterie - a helping of speck. We would have appreciated even a $10 add-on with more salumi variations. The frites & tenderloin while very good, were not exciting in flavor profile. The Burnt Old Fashioned was excellent as was an interesting red varietal (never had it and the name escapes me). Portions were great as well as the staff & surroundings.

The experience at District Kitchen & Bar was fantastic! The service was some of the best I've ever had, and everyone was really nice. Caitlin, Lindsey, Tracy, and Bobby were awesome servers and made us feel very welcome. The food was also delicious, although the duck confit poutine was slightly too salty, although it was alright since my personal preference leans salty anyways. They make everything fresh and the flavor combinations were excellent. They had a great menu. Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone!

I would say this place is just ok. It was our first time here and I was dissapointed after all the " stars" and word of mouth. My steak was luke warm when I received it and the taste was just ok. Hard to really enjoy it when it's almost cold. Dessert was Creme Brule and it was again...average. pumpkin cheese cake was honestly..terrible. pasta with chicken was great and flavorful. I love the interior and service was great. I guess I was looking for an elevated experience when you pay close to 150$ ( with drinks) , so ...it's a three for me

Not from the area ,we planned on coming here before we left home. They have a good selection of both canned and tap IPA beer. I chose the apple picker cocktail, my husband sampled a couple of beers. The food selection is small and we chose the vegetable flatbread and cod sandwich. Both were good and I would most definitely recommend flatbread , it was so good. Our server Caitlin was very pleasant and efficient coming over several times through our meal.

Food is good but for what you get at this price is not. $20 Burger we used to pay $12 for. Underwhelming mac& cheese -- $17 and as a cook of 10 years, clearly boxed elbow noodles. Prices are rising, yes but come on. Burger is good but a $20 Burger? 18$ for boxed,99cent elbows and cheap panko? Literally 5 Guys and Stouffers for a fraction of the price tops this.

Horrible experience!!! It’s just not right to make my family wait for more than an hour and a quarter to serve food. After waiting all this time, my steak and fries came so cold and bad quality. Same for my wife’s chicken. I’m not sure if they forgot it or the food was already used. I asked for the manager twice, but he never came. I waited for him on the entrance and explained the situation, he’s like I didn’t know! What a disrespectful way to treat people:(

We sat at the bar for dinner. The mango habanero chicken sandwich was delicious. It was a massive piece of tender, breaded chicken with a little mango and a slight kick, but not enough to qualify as intense. We also had the Korean BBQ chicken flatbread, flavorful and delicious. The risotto was excellent as well. Great service from both the bartenders and waitstaff. Place was clean, busy, but had a good atmosphere. It has the appearance of a bar, but it's fine for families with younger kids as well.. The menu selection isn't huge, that's probably the only criticism I could offer, but all the food is excellent. Proces are cheap for the service and food quality...

The service was wonderful along with the food.! I am rating it at three out of five for the fact of it is very crowded space felt very cramped didn’t have much room to even get into the chair at our table, everyone was on top of each other. You would have to be if you wanted to see each other.! The lighting was horrible we couldn’t even read the menu without using our phones for light.! Which then make you feel awkward with a bright light in a dark restaurant.. I say order take out because the food was delicious..!

Hands down (so far), this is the best restaurant in the Berkshires. I say so far because I have only been going to restaurants occasionally for more than a year and this is the first one if I didn't know where this restaurant was located, based on the ambience, the quality of the food and service, I would assume I was in a trendy Chelsea location in Manhattan. My wife and I shared a delicious bowl of their split pea soup with smoked ham. It was the perfect starter on this chilly night. I had the Osso Buco, my wife had the salmon again (she came here over the summer with a friend and said we had to go here) and my daughter had the steak frites. We loved the food, loved the vibe and will be back the next time we're in Pittsfield.

Absolutely wonderful. Best meal I’ve had in ages and I enjoyed myself thoroughly. The Public salad is worth another drive from NYC. So is the gin drink with beet juice, simple syrup, lemon & rosemary. I think it was called Head Over Heels. The pomegranate cheesecake was worth every calorie. Service was perfect. Highly recommend.

We had apple cider-based cocktails which were good. My girlfriend had the public salad and I had the butternut squash soup and the Korean chicken flatbread. The salad was good, the soup was very creamy and sublime. The flatbread dough had the perfect crispness without charring. The lightly spicy plum-garlic salt was sweet and wonderfully savory while the chicken was a crispy complement. All-in-all, a pleasing experience. The food came out quickly, service was friendly and prompt. I prefer the profiteroles dessert when it has ice cream but for Halloween they had a pumpkin-cream filling which most who like pumpkin would have enjoyed. We’ll certainly be back.

Really enjoyable food. Service was quick. We had burrata appetizer and huge salad to start, both were solid and the honey cider dressing on the salad was fantastic. Then the burger and the mushroom risotto with chicken and a side of the roasted zucchini and squash with parmesan. The risotto was cooked perfectly with a really nice mushroom flavor and 3-4 different types of mushrooms in it. The zucchini and squash side left the veggies still firm (which is my preference) and the parmesan added a nice saltiness to it. Really good beer selection. By the glass wine list just ok in my opinion but they had some interesting bottle options. Will definitely go back.

The food was amazing! I ordered the crab sandwich that came with fries and I would definitely get that again. The food deserves 5 stars but I was not too impressed with the service. My husband and I went in around 4:30pm for an early dinner and before being seated, the hostess told us that we had to leave by 6pm so they could have the table ready for the 6pm reservations. I thought that was very rude.

We walked in on a Friday night 6/11 and was walking to the two seats open at the bar to have a drink and eat and was stopped by the hostess and was asked if we were “just having drinks, or eating?” and was told “we have a table available” but the bar was booked even tho the seats were available. Seemed odd. Never heard of booking bar seats, every bar I’ve been to is first come first served even post-pandemic.

A delightful find in Pittsfield. Quentin made my visit a pleasure, with great recommendations. First, the cocktail. I had the Secret Knowledge, and the secret really surprised. The spicy drink is well blended, and has a kick that's hard to describe, but also hard to dislike. The jalapeño burger was tasty, but the truffle fries almost stole the show. Absolutely terrific, and a perfect pair. Might have to make the 3 hour drive back to sample their other fare.

Was staying at the Holiday Inn across the street so scooted on over. Because Covid they have covered outdoor seating as well as distanced indoor seating; I chose outdoor, which was nice as it was a nice night, but breezy. Had the public salad, very fresh and good sized. Also had the braised chicken nachos, also a nice size and very good, and finished with mini cannoli and fig. Everything was excellent. Staff was professional and very nice. Food service was on the slow side, but they do warn up front that will be the case since everything is scratch made. Would happily return.

Such a shame. Really liked the interior. Waitress was friendly and attentive and overall entering this place held lots of promise. Ordered the scampi and some bread rolls to start and the scampi tasted light and the tartar sauce was very tasty. The bread rolls came with butter and olive oil/balsamic. The rolls were fresh and the olive oil had a nice grassy taste. For mains we ordered two cajun chickens with half the cajun seasoning, the salmon and the seafood linguine. The chicken skin was a bit flabby and it tasted bland which may be partly due to the half seasoning but also the chicken lacked flavour. The chips were very nice but under seasoned. The seafood linguine had good flavour but the portion size was huge so the rich and creamy sauce became hard work due to the quantity. It was a shame because the seafood was cooked well and the baccus wine I had really cut through the creamy sauce but it was just too much. The salmon however was a disaster. The salmon had a pesto sauce which was not described on the menu, it came with sautéed potatoes which would not have been a problem but the menu said new potatoes which in every other place I've eaten means boiled new potatoes and the veg came up as a sort ratatouille type veg (it wasn't but it was a medley of cooked down veg) when the menu discribed mixed veg. There was also some sort of carrot puree which took up a quarter of the plate. And again a huge amount of food. The sautéed potatoes were over salty and not edible. At least half the plate was left and when the waitress was told that the food wasn't edible nothing was done. We pointed out this when the bill arrived and they took £6 off the bill which I assume was their assumed cost of the potatoes. Its a shame as this is in a lovely location and has potential to be a lovely fish restaurant but it needs a menu that accurately describes the food and if there are changes then a waiting staff that informs their customers. I also think there is work to do for the chef as the salmon dish looked like it had been chucked on the player while the salad for the chicken had been laid out piece by piece. There is also work to do on portion control which would also help the profitability of the business. Hopefully things will change as a good fish restaurant is a fine thing to have locally.

Very disappointed. We rarely go out and this was a special treat for our 46th wedding anniversary. The gentleman who finally greeted us made no apology for the wait and.. despite my being disabled, he went off at speed while we trailed behind him. Nobody pulled out my chair or made us feel welcome. In fairness it was very busy but that's no excuse. We've dined out enough in the past to know good service. I was never offered a second drink nor did anyone enquire whether we were happy with the meal. I don't remember ever feeling so ill served at this restaurant. The food was good but we had a simple lunch. We left feeling decidedly disappointed.
