Steve and Karen in the Berkshires

Happy Times

We didn't remember if it was another meandering memo or the predictable presentation, but decided to leave the technology sector. Our nomad existence from Massachusetts to Washington to Minnesota didn't help either. So, in 1993, an impulsive career change led to a mid-life, fly by the seat of our pants into the restaurant business. We purchased a full-service, 20 room country inn with a 100-seat restaurant in the Berkshires in Massachusetts and opened for business Labor Day Weekend, 1994.

If you don't know us we are Steve and Karen Waller.

​Over time, we learned what our customers wanted. Annual Wine Spectator awards followed. We hosted musicians twice weekly and soon became an attraction for musicians in the tri-state area.

Along the way,our training amounted to dining experiences around the country. We paid attention to what worked and what didn't. After 14 years, we moved East and bought a small 65-seat cafe in a Boston suburb. After a successful run, we turned in our reservation book. The notes from our experiences were collected and organized.

We remembered how we felt when treated well and avoided places where no one seemed to care.
