I usually love bear and bottle but my food and service were just bad today
I’ve had this server before and they just aren’t attentive
Had to go to bar for my second drink
Normally food is very good but taco dip has huge chunks of cream cheese
Server left my food at edge of table for more that fifteen minutes which attracted flies
I love the open air aspect of this spot bit of your food is left for that long…. Flies come to you.

We visited tonight and the food/service were both so horrible. We waited probably 15 mins to get our order taken. Our waitress forgot our drinks and one person's meal, and the other meal was wrong with cold fries. We had to flag her down to ask her to cancel our orders. We were there for over an hour and had to go elsewhere for dinner. Very overpriced and inattentive staff, even on a slow night.
The rudest bartender Mo I have ever encountered. Food was good but I won’t return.

Bear & Bottle offers a mixed experience, featuring good food but sometimes inconsistent service. While some diners have enjoyed the unique Miso Salmon and delicious dumplings, others have found the chicken sandwich lacking. There have been issues with orders being mixed up, but the manager is quick to resolve them. The atmosphere remains pleasant, with friendly and accommodating staff. One solo diner felt welcomed and celebrated on their birthday, enjoying a kind server and a delightful lemon curd cheesecake surprise. The restaurant also does well with large groups, ensuring that parties feel taken care of and comfortable. Despite some slow service during quieter times, especially on weekends, Bear & Bottle continues to provide a warm and inviting dining experience that keeps customers returning.
