The Old Inn On The Green was built in 1760 as a stagecoach/mail stop and now offers a fine dining restaurant by candle light and authentically restored guest rooms.   There is also al fresco dining on the canopied garden terrace off the taproom.  Chef/Owner Peter Platt is partnered with Meredith Kennard to bring the diner the combination of contemporary cuisine in an historic setting.  The large building has multiple rooms for dining, many with fireplaces.  We went early on a summer evening so there was still light coming in the windows but otherwise all the light is provided by candles on the tables and walls.  No music was in the background and the good sized tables were draped with white cloths.  Interesting decorations were on the walls and the restaurant did a very good business.  Parking was on the circle drive out front and I’m not sure where it goes when that gets full.  It was a fixed price menu  of $85 for 3 courses for which the menu offered a number of choices with a couple options for a $5 supplement.  Service was excellent – helpful and friendly with good pacing for the meal.  There was a very good wine list and a sommelier to assist you with a choice.  We enjoyed a wonderful meal and I’d highly recommend it to you if you find yourself traveling through the Berkshire area.
