I've heard mixed reviews of Sabor and have not yet dined there. Any thoughts?

Had a really nice meal there last night (July 12, 2008.) A friend had the cold cucumber/avocado soup, which was amazingly good. I had the Pernil, which was one of the most beautifully presented dishes I've had in a while - gorgeous plating all around. Would have liked a bit more spice, but Luis, our waiter, tells us that anything can be spiced correctly by request - they've toned the peppers down for a Berkshire audience.

Earlier reviews of the place (in the Globe, etc.) focused on it as a nightclub - they've evidently limited that part of their business and now are open only one night for dancing - 11pm on Saturday nights for Latin night.

Altogether, a very good deal (dinner for three, two courses for $80) and very pretty food.

I love Sabor. I have eaten there about four or five times, most recently for Valentine's Day and my favorite dish is the sea bass. I have tried the Paella and the salmon, both of which were great, but I always go back to the sea bass. My boyfriend always gets the steak. The guac is fresh and delicious and their homemade tortilla chips are fab! Thinking of taking friends who are in town there tonight, in fact.

Thanks. Have tickets for Barrington Stage next week and we were undecided as to where to eat first--sort of hoping the the new Jae's @ Spice would resurface this week. Think we'll do Sabor though.

Yeah, I wouldn't hold your breath for that opening. They are saying mid-to late July, which is really disappointing because they closed the Williamstown location last week very unexpectedly and that was my local sushi fix!

I noticed that too. let's hope it doesn't take as long to open as the original part of Spice....N. Adams is further than i care to go!

We had a nice meal at Sabor recently (in May 2008). We made a short video of the time we were there and the food we ate. We have a review on the page as well if you want to take a look: www.berkshiresnow.com/sabor.htm It gives a you a good feel for the place.

I went just after they had opened. I wasn't overly impressed but I must admit I need to try it out again.
