Bear Mountain Restaurants

There are few places like the Bear Mountain restaurant. It is iconic to those of us who visited Bear Mountain while a child. The restaurant was refurbished a few years back. It kept the rustic feel, which is great, few places around like it. The room is lovely, with scenic views and a large stone fireplace. Had lunch there a few months back, it was very good, fresh, well-prepared and well-served. This time 4 of us had brunch, generally very well received by all 4 of us. The raw bar was great, I ate many oysters and shrimp and the terrific smoked salmon. Also had many healthy salads that I enjoyed. My favorite item was the roasted cauliflower with cumin and other spices. My main suggestion and reason for not giving 5 stars is that the meats and deserts weren't that good at 3pm, they had been out too long. The meats were dry and the deserts textures were off particularly the pana cotta (though the key lime cup was super). They should have less out and replenish more often. I also thought that for the price a second glass of mimosa should be included. I can understand not doing unlimited, who needs badly behaving people at a brunch place, but really a second won't break the bank. The server was friendly and removed out dirty plates quickly, but we did have to wave to get her attention a few times and we are patient people. I would recommend. More
