The Blue Rock is lovely. Perched on a promontory overlooking the river, the dishes we had were well-conceived, perfectly cooked and presented. Cocktails were refreshing and flavorful.
We started with maiitake toast, which was gorgeous and in late September a great use of the wild-foraged bounty. We had the duck with cherries and pomegranate, perfectly-cooked, garnished with mashed potatoes and squash cooked two ways. The salmon with soubise sauce was nice (perhaps a tad more pureed onion would make it perfect?).
Because the Blue Rock is the only restaurant of its type open on a Monday, the staff was busy, and very friendly. We felt no pressure to turn the table over and it seemed that diners were happy to relax and converse over good food and drinks for the evening. We will definitely return to the Blue Rock. Reservations highly recommended.

We made a reservation for a group of 20 and has a whole room reserved for us when we arrived. It was beautiful, spacious, and private. The staff was friendly and accommodating and did a wonderful job handling our large group. The food was amazing!! I got the ribeye and it’s worth it if that’s your thing. The desserts were also really tasty. There’s something for everyone here! We’ll definitely go again, and can’t wait for their outdoor seating because the view from their deck is beautiful!

The mushroom ravioli was loaded with shrooms! Absolutely delicious!!! The mussels and bread were phenomenal as well. So glad to have gotten a table last minute on a Saturday night. The ambiance is lovely, and service professional. I’d recommend for a nice evening out. Shelburne Falls is a winter’s dream come true!

This is a hidden gem of a restaurant. The staff here were very friendly and professional. The food and drinks were delicious. I suggest getting a reservation prior to going. I didn’t have one but we made a gamble for someone not showing up…. and sometimes when you gamble, you win. We were able to get a table for 2. Parking is interesting with some street parking up front but a large lot in the back of the restaurant. I am looking forward to going back again soon!

Liz is amazing!
This restaurant has a great atmosphere and the food is great.
My girlfriend and I came to visit this area from NYC. We were not disappointed.
We will be back to this place next time we visit the area.

We really enjoyed our dinner here. It’s a nice atmosphere – a bit rustic and a bit industrial. The beer selection was pretty good. However, the food matched with the prices were the star of the show. We were very pleased with our food and found the prices to be reasonable, which will definitely give us incentive to come back again!

October 2022: The steak was good and prepared perfectly medium rare. Panang curry was okay, mostly vegetables, my choice of protein was shrimp and there were fewer than I expected. Clam chowder was good. Ginger Ale had a funky flavor, if you like Canada dry this one has nothing in common with it other than color. However, my husband liked it, it had a juniper flavor he said.

Overall, I do want to say the meal was pretty good. At the end, when we paid for the check. It was extremely difficult to split between multiple people. We scanned a QR code and made it extremely complicated to divvy up the bill which is disappointing for a nice restaurant. Finally, when the waitress offered to void the charges (which was nice) and split it up evenly. When it was my turn to pay via Toast – I did tip (15%) which I thought was extremely fair considering the small portions and inconvenience it caused us – the waiter rolled her eyes at me because I did not give 20%+?
I will never be going here again even if it’s the best restaurant in the area. I work extremely hard for my money and I rate accordingly to my overall experience. It is sad to ruin a good meal with a tip amount (that is fair) and you don’t agree.

From Ontario visiting the bike park. This restaurant is the town’s best jewel. Food is out of this world, service is beyond excellent and has a great vibe and atmosphere. Would definitely eat here again without a doubt. Big kudos to the chef (the owner) and his wife.
Can’t wait to eat here again.

My husband, two teens and I had dinner there last night. It was a beautiful night and we had only called an hour and a half before for a reservation and got to sit on the porch overlooking the river. I had one of the best cocktails of my life, and our dishes were really good. We ordered the ribs with mashed potatoes, chicken enchiladas, the pork banh mi sandwich and a burger. The burger patty was a little on the small side, but the incredible fries made up for it. The decor and vibe inside looked really amazing. Want to go back and eat inside when it gets chilly out. Highly recommend.
