Elizabeth's!
It's pretty easy to get served alcohol here, perhaps easiest at the Desperados in North Adams.

Simply the best dining in an hour's drive of campus. For a full four course meal -- and you'll be wanting it -- expect $30 per person, inluding salad, soup, appetizer, and entree. Don't bother with dessert -- it is not as special as the other courses, and you won't have room (but if you do, ask for the Nun's Cheesecake. Every time I go, they're out of it).
This small Italian restaurant is run out of what seems to be a small house by the side of the road in Pittsfield, about a 45 minute's drive from campus. Reservations are recommended, and do not blow one off without calling them, or come significantly late, as you may be blacklisted. Show up, and the personal service here is unsurpassed, an absolute joy. The cook, Tom, may serve you personally, chat with you, and occassionally brings Williams students free appetizers. They love us there.
Everything is fresh to order and freshly acquired that morning. No one I've eaten with has ever had one single complaint. The salad is fresh everything-you-can-imagine yet perfectly harmonious, and amazing even to non-salad enthusiasts (eg, [[Jonathan_Landsman|me]]). The spicy tomato corn soup is a balance of light spice and bold tomato flavor that will astonish you with its subtle perfection -- go for the full bowl, you'll be wanting it. Hot bread is brought out constantly (though you may have to remind the cute waitress if you don't mind filling up on it) and is warm, chewy, and thick. For an appetizer, be sure to get the goat cheese "chevre-deux," though some favor the fried onion with a little salt.
I won't even speak about entrees. You can't go wrong. Though this is not a vegetarian restaurant, most meals happen to be veggie, so this place is very friendly to eaters of that ilk. Be sure to listen to the specials before deciding, as there is always something to make you want to be adventurous.
Tips:
* Lactose intolerant? Bring the Lactaid along.
* Freshman? Ash your JA to take your entry here on dues (pay your dues!).
* Think you like cheese enough to eat the whole gorgonzola dish? You don't.
* Go on a date here. Get the Lizzy's Mushrooms appetizer. Eat it. Kiss.
