we spent our night tonight there together just myself and my fiance. we had an absolutely wonderful experience. The owners were the most wonderful people. It was nice and quiet just him and I with a little music in the background with nice dim lighting. The food was out of this world! Very generous food portions! we will definitely be thinking about this place for a while!!! Honestly I don't think we could have had a better night! Thank you for making our night special
We love Black Bear Bistro! Estela and Santiago are amazing. The food is out of this world and out of all the visits we’ve had, not one dish has disappointed. 10/10 will ALWAYS recommend to friends and family for a night out on the town.
Chef Santiago and his wife Estella never disappoint! Santiago creates a vegan burger and on the spot vegan bun for my husband with dietary restrictions. I ALWAYS want to lick my plate after everything meal!😋💞
