Castle Steet Café

Castle Steet Café Review

Chef-owner Michael Ballon wins raves for his simple-but-elegant cuisine and masterful hand with fresh local produce. Local artwork, hardwood floors, and sleek furnishings create an understated interior—a perfect backdrop for sautéed sea scallops with wild ramps and garlic sauce, local shad roe with bacon and onion, and warm duck salad with cashews and Asian slaw. Other things to love about Castle Street Café: The fabulous wine list, the bread basket (featuring a warm potato-onion loaf from Berkshire Mountain Bakery), and nightly jazz at the Celestial Bar (no cover charge).
