My seasonal visit to Jacob's Pillow will always include dinner at The Haven restaurant under the tent. The setting can't be beat and neither can the service. We split a small order [2] of Duck Buns [$16] which were the perfect start to a great evening and a way to slowly peruse the menu. A glass of Albariño Sauvignon Blanc [#11] helped also. We split a Field Greens salad with a light citrusy dressing that helped get our palates for the main course. Never having had a sous vide preparation, we opted for the Rib Eye [$34] with grilled asparagus and Parmesan cheese puffs. The meat, medium rare, was tender and full of flavor, the included asparagus were fine while the cheese puffs, delicious, were a little heavy for the plate. We added a side of Wild Mushrooms [$8] and they were so good! I changed to a Nieto, Mendoza Pinot Noir [$9] to accompany this course. The dessert, a flight of Haven cakes [$9], was rich and plentiful. The favorite was the ginger/apricot bar.

The HAVEN Restaurant at Jacob's Pillow has always been sitting there under the tent enticing me to enter and I finally did. What a fantastic meal! We were there for full day adventure and had a light lunch of salad with Norwegian salmon saw two performance [matinée and evening], viewed rehearsal of youth class for In/Out performance and attended a talk by new Director Pamela Tatge. Dinner reservations were for 5pm and the room was packed.

We started with the daily Crepe starter [$14] of spinach, brie and parmesan cheeses. This was a delicious and telling start to a great meal.
For entrée I ordered a special of Pork Chop and grilled peach half over an arugula salad dressed with a peach vinaigrette. Super! moist, juicy and flavorful!
The other diner had the Filet Mignon [$35] pan seared medium rare with a rosemary port wine sauce, grilled asparagus, and potato gratin. I 'stole' a bite of the potato gratin and it was delicious.
One dessert was the Chocolate Torte and mine was a Cake Sampler of which the Peanut Butter portion was the favorite.
