    Took our spry 91 year old father out for lunch to celebrate Father’s Day early. We had a great time at Bear & Crown, we’ll be back.

    Really delicious food and a nicer pub atmosphere. Great, personable server and I highly recommend the peppered filet. So good! We ate here before a A’s day game and the food was so much better than anything you’d find at a small ballpark. The beers on tap were excellent.

    Service was pretty sparse. It wasn’t super busy (lots of empty tables in our immediate area) and we were having to flag our server down to order and to request the check. They didn’t I quite about refills either. Husband loved his scotch eggs. My Caesar salad was fine (though there were hardly any croutons, and they were stale). Sodas came in plastic cups (but water came in glasses). My steak frites was a major let down. I asked for medium rare and it came out practically still breathing and mooing. Cold, raw center. So much so that I took bites off the ends and left the center because our server never came back to check on us after dropping the food so I couldn’t even ask for it to be re-fired. Husband’s bangers and mash was good, though it was absolutely smothered in onions (which aren’t his favorite). If you like onions though, you’ll be pleased. It was our first time here and at $95 for two sodas, a salad, an appetizer, and two entrees (one of which was not good/not cooked well) alongside lackluster service, unfortunately we won’t be back.

    The evening that we went to this Restaurant that I had never been before, there were just a few people in the dining area. Service was slow, to say the least! We had to ask the waiter for everything we need (i.e. refills on our drink, the special of the day menu, etc.). There were 3 of us and we asked the waiter about the size of the pretzel and if it would satisfy all 3 of us as an appetizer. He so, "oh yea, they are ball bark size pretzels". Well, not sure what ballpark he has ever been to, but the pretzel was about as big as a large flatten muffin. Not anything like the big pretzels you get at any other restaurant or ballpark or even Costco. We ordered a 2nd one at at $11.00 a pop, well not worth but $5.00. I was in charge of picking the restaurant and I had looked at the menu and there was a salad I was going to select and that was one of the reasons I wanted to go there. Low and behold, the on-line menu did was not updated as they no longer served this salad, which was disappointing. Portions were small and my side salad was a small handful of mix greens with 4 cherry tomatoes. To sum this up, not a place I would recommend, and I do see why they don't have a lot of business.
