Bimi's Canteen & Bar 19 Main Street, Chatham, NY 12037

"First time eating here. My friend and I loved the aesthetics- beautiful decor. Overall it was enjoyable - attentive staff and an interesting menu. We started with the world slate, which, considering the price and the fact that there was a cheese shop next door, was disappointing. Some grapes, a handful of nuts, and Bits of cheese (delicious) and prosciutto. Very small for sharing. We continued to share the simple fondue ( highly recommended )and the bouillabaisse, the latter of which, although stunningly beautiful, was a bit flat in flavor. We finished with two desserts. That, with four glasses of wine each came to $247 before tip, and after tip, close to $300. Which, compared to other places in Chatham with similar menus, is overpriced IMHO. I guess I was expecting more " wow"."

"We had steak, and it was really good! We ordered the Chicken Dumplings and they were pretty atypical, it did not have much taste. Needless to say, we would not order that dish again. I rated atmosphere lower since we were seated downstairs, where it was a smaller space and pretty chilly. Overall, it was an alright experience."

"We had the world slate, smash burger with shoestring fries, coq au vin, and pork chop with buckwheat spaetzle and red cabbage. We appreciated that the dishes were prepared carefully and not laden with butter. It was all delicious except for the strangely unappetizing cheese plate, which contained about 1 ounce of cold, boring cheese and was not appropriate for sharing. Nice rustic dining room with leather placemats and lovely cloth napkins. Friendly and helpful service."

"We were on short visit to Berkshires- stopped for desert and espresso- outstanding espresso - fresh pastries all homemade. This is a must do stop in Chatham. Worth going out of your way. Kayla, our server, was delightful."

"Everything was fantastic from the atmosphere to the cocktails to the food. We didn’t have a reservation but we were seated at the bar quickly. The service was a little slow but watching the bartender and the passion he has was an experience in itself so it helped with the wait. The food was fantastic. My only complaint was we got the tomato salad and it was supposed to come with a crispy waffle and it didn’t. When we asked they said sometimes they run out. That’s ok but it could have been substituted with bread maybe. Either way, it was delicious. And the macaroni gratin was incredible!"
