We spent a night in Lenox for a romantic 40th wedding anniversary. I checked the reviews on the internet for several restaurants in the area. Decided on Alta and we weren't disappointed. It was a busy Friday evening. I called at 6 pm and got a reservation for 6:30. We scurried over because the next available reservation was for 8... More

My beau and I are foodies and like to eat really good food accompanied by a dynamic atmosphere and great service. We went into Alta without a reservation (it was busy! Would recommend getting one...) and lucked out as a couple was just leaving their seats at the bar. The bartender was quick to welcome us, though he was totally... More

Alta can be hit or miss, and unfortunately the last visit was a big miss. Alta is considered to be one of the more interesting Lenox establishments with a very pleasant atmosphere and interesting wine list. My most recent lunch visit unfortunately left a bad taste in my mouth and I probably won't go back. As we walked in the... More

Superb food and friendly service. That we returned for dinner on our second night in Lenox should say it all.

We had dinner on a Saturday night at Alta. Loved this restaurant. Quaint, small rooms. Very intimate. The food was unique and delicious. The portions were so generous that we took home 3 different dishes! Would absolutely go back to Alta.

I have been dining regularly in Lenox for 12 years and have eaten at all of the venues. Alta is truly special. . The owner Aurelien is so charming and welcoming. The food is tremendous, and wines are very reasonable and varied.

Food was varied and delicious. The staff very friendly and engaging. We enjoyed speaking with the bartender on duty while we were there. Atmosphere was cozy and warm. Loved the bar area. Restaurant was within walking distance of our B&B. Reservation would be recommended as the restaurant is very popular.
