Table 43.1 At Black Bear Lodge

When I saw it, they said they closed at 10. We made a reservation for 8:30 because we had plans until then, but when we came there, she sat and then told us that the buffet was closed at 9 to be fast. Of course, the whole food was dry and hard and not good and no one offered something fresh. There was no one, except the girl who sat and gave us our drinks. She sat at a table in the corner, with a guy eating dinner from taking containers. She never came back to refill drinks, I ended up with a small glass of water to throttle all dry dishes on the buffet. If we had known the closing at “10:00”, actually meant 9:00, we would not have been disturbed. We were limited option wise and thought it was a good choice. Lesson learned.

Cold food on a buffet. Food sat without being refreshed for more than an hour while we were there. Very disappointing. Potatoes and chickens were hot. Beef, salmon, vegetables and, above all, pommes and chicken fingers were cold until they would be an injury to health.

Terribly understated and only a limited buffet for dinner. The staff was very nice, but there were so few of them that the restaurant was dysfunctional

Our waiter was the sole server in a busy dining room and did a good job serving good food. Our only complaint was noticing that an 18% tip was automatically added to the bill as the first entry without our being informed. I usually tip 20% but my tip would have been 38% had I not noticed the automatic tip. Buyer beware! We will be back though.

We saw some bad reviews online. We knew this was a buffet when we booked it and were pleasantly surprised. The food was good and replenished quickly when things got low. Our server was very friendly and attentive. This is not gourmet dining but it hit the spot after a long day on the Mountain!
