Dinner at the Lobster Pound

Lakepilot · 06-14-2008, 08:15 AM

This may be somewhat off topic. We are in Lenox, MA for 2 days. We stopped at a restaurant called Alta and had a wonderful meal with great service. The owner came to our table to ask how the food and service was and what he could do to improve things. I told him to just keep up the good work then asked him how long he had been opened. He said just a week. I asked if he did a trial run before opening and he said he did one full house with friends.

And this is now bike week (10 days!).

So, I'm wondering if anyone has been recently, and if things are changing???
I imagine that, by now, some progress must have been made.

GREAT QUESTION!

I too am wondering as I am so hopeful that they succeed. The Weirs needs this place so bad. I think it is a positive thing and I just feel like things are on the upswing for the Weirs. Maybe I am ever the optimist but the whole look of the new "Pound" is kind of like a crowning jewel at the entrance to the Weirs.

Updates would be welcome.

I was in the Weirs area last Saturday and I must say ....there were literally thousands of people congregating in front of the Pound..... probably waiting to get one of those beautiful crustaceans......as far as the eye could see hundreds of motorcycles up and down the streets all waiting I'm sure to get into this newly re-opened Weirs landmark.....what? Bike Week? Oh..... NEVER MIND......
