Reviews for Black Bear Restaurant in Lake Placid, NY
Our service was great. I give our waiter 5 stars. The food however, for the prices you pay- you can tell it?s frozen , fried... cod, onion rings and even the tarter dipping sauce was packaged. I think the calamari was even frozen. Salad had slimy wiltedends. Not impressed for this town. They did comp the fish dinner, however . Read more
Fantastic meal and excellent service. We were sat quickly (2 people, around 6:15) on a Monday night during busy season. Shrimp &... scallop dish was fantastic! My cousin had the fresh baked haddock, which was huge, and also extremely good. We had calamari asan app, which was OK but I?m glad we got it. Homemade bread was also great. The wine by the glass is $10/12 but a solid pourwith lots of options. The outdoor seating isn?t as cute as the inside but the views make up for it. Read more
Great food and atmosphere! Their Fra Diavolo was yummy!!! Don't forget get Calamari for appetizer!!!
I wish the waitress told us the portions were big. We practically took everything to go. Otherwise food was good.
Always our favorite place to go for a nice "fancy dinner" when we're in Lake Placid. The food is always delicious and you'll... never find a friendlier, harder working family running the whole show. The restaurant is usually bustling, but you'll always betreated like first priority. Times are not easy and help is scarce, but they never fail to keep customers happy! Read more
Great service and friendly staff. We didn?t have any problems the other reviewers encountered. We arrived at 6:15 with a party... of 8. Seated right away, the waiter came and took our drink order within 5 minutes. Probably got our food within 20 - 25minsafter placing the order. I ordered the Delmonico Steak med rare, but it came out med well. I mentioned to the waiter and heimmediately ordered me a replacement. Once again no complaints at all. We did find out that they are shorted staff like everyoneelse. Normally a staff of 16, now down to 11. Never would have notice the night we were there. Also great view from theirbalcony outdoor seating. Read more
the burger was supposed to be without cheese, the other burger was supposed to have no bun, the escargot was a big piece of... bread, the chicken Mario came with no salad, and they completely forgot our last order. 6 dishes and not one of them wascorrect. Needless to say this was a really bad takeout experience. they charged a non-negotiable 20% gratuity for a child totake our order and give us a lot of sass. I don?t think I would ever recommend anyone to go eat here. Stewart?s has betterservice and better quality food for the price you pay. Cheers. Read more
The dining room is right on the lake with a beautiful view. The food is very solid, and the service is great. It?s a very... enjoyable experience overall. Read more
