Yelp.com Review - by Mary W.

3.0 of 5 stars. My husband and I are locals and have eaten here a half-dozen times. I really admire Chef Victor Matthews' guts in operating a "five star" restaurant in such an off-the-map location. I get a kick out...

Yelp.com Review - by Jason S.

5.0 of 5 stars. Unlike the other reviewers I was quite pleased with the service. Our waitress was courteous and prompt. The chef came out to visit our table six times throughout the meal and answered our questions...

Yelp.com Review - by Todd F.

3.0 of 5 stars. In all honesty, the service at this place is a major drawback. I give it a 2 (the food was wonderful and is a solid 4). The staff who helped us were very young and not quite professional enough for...

UNBELIEVABLE

I was surprised when I saw the negative review and decided (for the first time) to write a review. Black Bear restaurant has far exceeded my expectations again, again, and again. Our first experience was...

Yelp.com Review - by Lori M.

4.0 of 5 stars. In the know Colorado culinistas descend upon this rustic log cabin-cum-saloon-cum-restaurant, 15 minutes from Colorado Springs, for chef-owner Victor Matthew's absolutely awe-inspiring food theatrics....

Wow. 10th Visit. Always Amazing.

I have no idea if the previous negative reviewers went to the wrong restaurant (there are several named the Black Bear), or if they simply had the unavoidable one-in-million negative experience that must occur...

Worst dining experience of my life!

Pompous and full of themselves. When did the service people come to believe that they were more important than the paying...and boy do I mean paying!....customer? From the moment we walked in the door, we felt...

Is this place for real? It's a joke!

The black bear should thank their publicist as they have done a great job making a horrible restaurant well publicized. This was the worst experience of my life. This restaurant claims to be five stars, but...

Not worth th drive

I would agree with the previous review as this place is extremely overhyped. Nothing special at all. I have had more rpompt service at the local chains, and better food that's for sure. I was not impressed by...

Poor, poor, experience

This restaurant claims to be five star this, four star that, best chef anywhere, and none of it is true. They are self promoting, and lying about their accolades. This is a disgrace to the other fine...

What a Joke

Have the previous reviewers actually been to this restaurant or another one for that matter. The food is plain, unseasoned, and no imagination. The building old and falling apart.

Home Run!

Chef Matthews obsession with attention to detail and quality is second to none. I have travelled to every state in the USA, enjoying great fare in many places, but none compares to The Black Bear. Over 50...

Great, great food...service?

Victor has done a fantastic job with the menu. The quality and care with which he prepares the dishes are some of the best I've ever had. We skipped the standard Chef's Table and upgraded to the full...
