Best Cozy Restaurants in Bear

We always have excellent tapas and Spanish cuisine every time we eat here. We love the ambience, the wine and the service. Our waiter is impassioned about the dishes they serve and has great recommendations. Also, the wine selection is excellent. One of our favorite restaurants for a special night out.

An A+ treat for our first Thanksgiving ‘out’ at a restaurant! We always look forward to Columbus Inn’s consistently excellent food prep & creative use of fresh ingredients. Flavor surprises abounded in each & every course of this traditional family style Thanksgiving. Kudos to the owner, chef & servers (Cassidy was excellent), for combining the warmth & traditions of a family Thanksgiving meal with wonderfully-flavored upgrades to well-known dishes.(green bean casserole, butternut squash soup). To cap it off, the holiday tradition of ‘taking home leftovers’ was an extra little surprise, enabled by all the generous family style portions during our meal! Thank-you!

Enjoyed another lovely dinner with my friend at the Back Burner in the Tavern. Our Autumn Salmon Salad was delicious with perfectly cooked salmon, roasted cauliflower and butternut squash, poached apples, pomegranate seeds and pepitas. Every bite had so many flavors! As a bonus, we dined during happy hour so our glasses of wine from the tap were so reasonable! Service was just right! We will dine again soon!

My friends and I had a lovely afternoon lunch! Our soups and sandwiches were delicious. Our server was especially attentive and helpful. I’m glad I chose this restaurant to have lunch after our fall foliage train ride this afternoon.

Four of us stopped in for lunch. We all ordered salads and enjoyed them very much, particularly the Cobb. The only tiny negative was that the salmon was slightly overcooked. Our server was excellent and we appreciated the quiet booth where we could talk.
