dulu — Restaurant in Lenox

Dulu Café is HANDS-DOWN one of the most charming spots I’ve ever stumbled upon. Tucked inside the luxurious yet whimsical Doctor Sax House in Lenox, it feels like you’ve stepped into another world—one where everything slows down and all your senses come alive.

From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere wrapped around me like a warm hug. The soft lighting, cozy seating, and quiet buzz of conversations made it feel intimate without being stuffy. It’s the kind of place where you could bring a date or just spend hours lost in your thoughts over a good book and a perfect glass of wine.

The food is nothing short of exceptional. They have this way of making every dish feel special, like it was made just for you. I had the seasonal risotto with steak, and I swear every bite sank me deeper and deeper into completely euphoria. The cocktails are just as memorable—beautifully crafted and bursting with flavor without being too fussy. The "Sax & The City" reminded me of home in NYC but so much I was ready to hurry back. I don't think I ever wanted to leave.

What really sets Dulu apart, though, is the care they put into everything. From the friendly, knowledgeable staff to the small details like local artwork on the walls, games like chess that remind me of my youth - it’s clear this place is run with love. It’s not just a meal—it’s an experience. If you’re ever in Lenox, don’t think twice about visiting Dulu Café. You’ll leave with a feeling of being apart of the community, a happy heart, and a memory you’ll keep...

I have just one word: WOW! I got married in Lenox this past weekend and had my after party at Doctor Sax and it wildly exceeded all my expectations. Kelly (the owner) and Myra were so attentive and really took the time to understand what we wanted. And they planned EVERYTHING. From a cocktail list, to snacks, lighting, music (INCLUDING AN AMAZING DJ-DJ Soren)—the vibes were out of this world.

It takes a special place run by incredible people to create an event that appealed to a group of 50+ people ranging in ages from 21-60+. And everyone had the best time drinking their incredible espresso martinis and aperitas (I mean honestly, those drinks were my favorite drinks of my entire wedding weekend), eating the amazing snacks including gluten free chicken tenders that I’m still dreaming about (seriously, they are so good), and dancing the night away.

The best part was that there was something for everyone. Dancing in the huge side area, tables for chatting, even a room with a cozy fireplace with chess and comfy couches. The staff was friendly, helpful and so quick to help all of our guests. Even at the end of our entire wedding weekend, our guests were still raving about the night at Doctor Sax House.

This place is perfect for an afternoon drink, late night hangout, large event, brunch… they do it all. Don’t think, just go and experience it! You won’t be...

I see five star reviews and I must have come on the wrong night. My family are very seasoned diners and thought we would give delu a go. I gave the food one star because I couldn’t give a zero because we never even had a chance to eat anything. With almost an hour under our belts with only water, the two waiters and a bartender on the floor with 10% of the tables sat it was quite surprising how neglectful the service was. Perhaps not intentionally but clearly lacking the mechanics. On top of that, the attempt to order wine three times resulted in serious failure with the last wine to be a rosé ordered off of the bottle wine list that came to the table in a ice bucket warm as we were told that was a cellar list wine and “we don’t have those wines chilled”. Two roses on the bottle list, one extremely high priced and yet these wines are not chilled? The one I ordered was almost $80 I must say in 50 years of dining I have never come across such a nonsensical statement when ordering a bottle of rose. I realize that this place is new but they need to seriously get it together as the prices that they are charging should command that. Obviously there is a lot of money spent on decor but apparently not on staff and training. Not even an attempt to correct this matter. Bistro Zinc down the street was packed; we get that as we...
