Excellent take-out. They do have indoor and some outdoor seating. Good service and a great bar. Up-scale pub / bistro food but moderately priced. Inside can be loud but it has a fun atmosphere.

Many fun ways to experience Mount Greylock, the highest point in Massachusetts! Hike, bike, or drive up to the top. The road up is only open from May through November due to treacherous winter conditions, but hiking is still possible for experienced winter hikers. Varying levels of trails available up to the top. We suggest the Hopper Trail beginning at the base and zig-zagging up (moderate difficulty), or diving up half-way, parking, and walking the usually-closed service road to Stony Ledge for beautiful views looking northeast. It's also a great place for a lunch or evening picnic!
