Restaurants near Lower Bear Picnic Area

We used Open Table and made our reservation for Christmas lunch. We were pleasantly surprised as we drove to the restaurant. It was a great ambience. The food choices on the menu and the specials all sounded amazing. Made it hard to choose especially after our waitress Margarita shared her favorites. We decided we would just have bread before our meal because all the portions looked large. I had the freshest salad with honey mustard the house dressing. I ordered the Lobster Ravioli and it was perfection. Not too rich. It was well balanced lemon crème sauce with stuffed lobster ricotta pasta. My husband and our other guest both got baked Mostaccioli. They loved it and both took home leftovers. We had tiramisu and I had vanilla and chocolate gelato with chocolate and caramel syrup which our waitress made at her recommendation. Yum!! There. Was nothing I would have changed. It was such a great meal. I'm ready to go back now and highly recommend.

Overall very nice. Had a great time. They usually have pretty flowers on the table for Christmas Eve, but they didn't and our candle wasn't lit.

It was a pretty quiet Saturday night for our visit. So service was quite prompt. We really enjoyed the brussels sprout appetizer. My wife and I just split the chicken sandwich because we saw how big it was when served to a nearby table. That worked out well. No dessert.

Excellent food and service! We sat in one of the interior booths, and it was private and intimate. Also very reasonably priced. We were even served by Renee - who gave us recommendations. Definitely would recommend!

We were greeted and seated promptly and served water. The lunch menu was varied and the items sounded delicious. I ordered the charcuterie board and my friends ordered a pasta dish. Everything was served in a timely fashion and the order was accurate. Each of us was pleased with our selection.
