Beautiful cozy hidden gem in the city. Delicious and yummy food. Presentation is gorgeous. Vegetarian options available too and the chef even made the custom dish on the request. Highly recommend if you are looking to try something unique.

Incredibly well-cooked and perfectly seasoned meat. We tried the flank steak, pork belly, and bison tacos and found them all fantastic.

What an incredible dinner we had tonight at Black Bear Bistro! From the warm welcome we received from the always delightful Estella, the wonderful service from Jerry and the amazingly delicious dinner, it was a perfect evening! The blackened swordfishspecial was truly magic, I’ve never had better swordfish anywhere. My husband ordered the trout which is always spectacular. Don’t skip the escargot appetizer, it’s the stuff dreams are made of. And to finish it off, try the key lime pie! I thinkBlack Bear Bistro is the best restaurant you’ll find in the area, my number 1 pick for a fantastic dinner! Thanks for a greatnight Black Bear, I can’t wait to return!

This is an incredible gem of a restaurant. I met a girlfriend who I haven't seen in two years, we were looking for a place that was quiet. It is small but mighty! It probably has 10 tables in total. We both had great service, and our meals were out ofthis world! I had the salmon stuffed pablano, she had the blackened shrimp with crusted ahi tuna and tortilla crusted salmon????. The flavors were unique and so good, plating was beautiful. We then had the lightest, most delicious cheesecake. Estelathe owner and Henry were the most attentive and wonderful people. Estela was most gracious. I highly recommend this place for agreat night out!!!
