Eagles - North Adams

I will preface that I have extremely low bar when it comes to expectations and am generally very generous with tipping as long as a minimum standard is met. That said, it says a lot when I tip poorly. I won't complain or make any scene, so the only way I can express my displeasure is in this way. My family was there tonight, as we hadn't found any place to stop to eat prior to this point. We were hungry, so we only required to be nourished. The food was great, but being hungry may have influenced this opinion. Also, the fact that it took nearly 20 minutes to get our order taken, with not even some bread while we waited. That came after the appetizers were finished. All of this, I am generally not critical. But one thing that I pay attention to is the attentiveness of service relative to how busy the establishment is. Tonight, at the highest point, there were 3 other parties there. Again, I don't expect much. Another thing is basic cleanliness. It is, after all, a food establishment. The small plates that were at the table for appetizers/bread were extremely dirty. There was a film on them, like an egg yolk; something dull and dried. I could rub it off with my finger and the shiny porcelain underneath. There was only bottled water and the prices were at a 3 to 4-star range. I would gladly pay that, if what I received was worth accordingly. That said, the prices were outrageously overpriced for the quality I was getting. This place has existed almost a century. I am surprised it has, based on this first encounter. I hope the management takes this review to heart if there is any hope for its continued existence.

The other reviews mentioned how dated this place is. Yep, right out of the 1970 's. No craft beers and I was surprised that it didn 't even serve Heineken, Stella Artois was it 's top beer. We ordered gin and tonics. I recalled that the gratis, crackers and bean dip appetizer (mayonaise, touch mustard, finely chopped onion and beans) was called vegetarian Caviar way back in the 1970 's or early 1980 's. The salmon was nicely done but the pasta dish like the fish was old school. It 's the view that you come here for. Although, the waitresses were a hoot and fun.

When was the last time you ordered an entree and it came with a salad, a side and a freshly baked loaf of bread? I ordered the baked halibut and it was delicious. The portion of the fish was large for the price. PLUS the view is amazing!! They have daily food, appetizer and drink specials. If you are looking for a good meal, vintage ambiance and great service this is the place. Enjoy!

A great place for an even greater meal!!! Always enjoyed Sunday meals there after Church, as well as other days.spend some time there and Enjoy!!! The ambience is perfect, and so is the view!!!! Service was always wonderful as well. I miss going there these days, I hope it's still there!!!!! My best friend and I so loved it on weekends usually. We were friends since childhood and in those days did so much together, but life gets in the way and we drift apart.... So sad really!

It has a 50 neighborhood diner feel with a large bar area and it seems it hadn't been cleaned since the 50's either including a strange odor upon entry but hey we thought no biggie well we ordered dinner came fast so points there but I ordered their signature black diamond sirloin it was marinated for so long it no longer tasted like beef how could a steak be both burnt and raw at the same time it was without a doubt the worst steak I have ever had it was 90% fibrous ligaments un edible the salad and fries were good the wait staff is friendly and the view was nice but the old smell and terrible steaks were beyond reproach I highly recommend you keep driving there is much better food a couple of miles further
