We had just taken in the First Fridayâs Artwalk in Pittsfield, during which we were fed various appetizers and wines. Also, we had already picked up dessert for later in the evening, so all we needed was a small/middle meal. This place fit the bill. We were seated within a few minutes of entering the restaurant, a bit close to the door, which concerned us because the day had turned cool. But the staff was very conscientious in making sure that the door was closed promptly behind every party which entered or departed. We were comfortable. Our server greeted us immediately. We ordered hot teas, the Public Salad and the Grilled Chicken Sandwich which was served with either fries or salad greens, we chose the salad greens. Our tea came quickly, we were provided a large variety of teas to choose from. Our meals were not far behind. The salads were extremely fresh greens, great ingredients and a tasty dressing. The chicken sandwich was moist and flavorful on a tasty ciabatta bread. The dressing on the sandwich was an eggplant and and red pepper spread which was very flavorful. All in all it was a very pleasant experience.

I have visited Thrive on several occasions. It is a small, old fashioned diner that the new owner has transformed into a small, old fashioned diner with delicious vegan food - or quite frankly - really good food. I would recommend this place to vegans and people with special dietary needs and people who just want to have something delicious for lunch or dinner.My favorites so far are the mediterranean appetizer and the deserts. I have had four different deserts and they are all incredibly yummy. It is a happy place that I recommend to couples, singles and families. They do take-out and it is very easy and quick. The owner/chef is a super-woman who does it all. She is an inspiring and kind soul who wants to feed people food that is delicious and good for you. Thank you, Shari!!

For those of you from Pittsfield and the surrounding area, you'll remember the old Lantern Restaurant. Well it's been re-opened with new ownership and I'm glad to say that it's still awesome. It has changed a bit inside but you'll still recognize The Lantern of old that we all loved. The food is also great. The menu has a great selection of pub style foods with some interesting additions. One third of the menu is a wine list and the other third is a beer list. There's something for everyone that's for sure. My favorite meal at the old Lantern was their renowned burgers so what better way to put the new Lantern to the test than with an order for a burger. It did not disappoint. The atmosphere is very warm and inviting with cozy lighting and jazz playing. The staff is very courteous and service was excellent. If you're looking for a nice place with an inviting atmosphere for a simple yet delicious dinner accompanied by a craft beer, then the new Lantern should definitely be on your short list of places to go.
