   Wow—just wow! What an absolutely phenomenal dining experience. I had the clams, while my wife indulged in the bison steak, and both were nothing short of extraordinary. The steak, in particular, was among the finest I’ve ever tasted—an experience that truly elevated the meal to another level. From the perfectly prepared clams to the delightful mushroom dessert, every bite felt like a journey through flavors, taking us on a culinary adventure from coast to coast. You won’t be disappointed, and you’ll leave feeling like you’ve embarked on an unforgettable gastronomic voyage. A heartfelt thank you to the incredible chef!

   We expected an authentic Indigenous culinary experience. This was not. Reservation, made 1 month prior, was not prioritized. Servers had no knowledge of locality of ingredients. Wine list was poor........wines from the winery in the resort were not even available by the glass. Food was mediocre at best...very little flavour in anything. No offer of dessert or coffee, waiter disappeared after serving the entrees....had to flag down manager to get our bill.....and this is at 8:45 on a Saturday night. Staff already sanitizing adjacent tables and setting for next day. Cannot remember when we have not left a tip, but this truly deserved such treatment.

   Dale - Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're truly sorry to hear that your experience fell short of expectations, especially when you were anticipating an authentic Indigenous culinary journey. We missed the mark in several areas and for that, we sincerely apologize. Your comments about the lack of ingredient knowledge and the service breakdown, particularly not being offered dessert or coffee and feeling rushed at the end of your meal, are concerning and not reflective of the experience we strive to provide. We take this seriously and will be addressing these points with our team to ensure we improve. Even though this visit was disappointing, we hope you might consider giving us another chance to deliver the experience you were hoping for.

   We have eaten here serveral times, but the quality of the food this time was disappointing. We ordered dishes we’ve tried before but they were not at the standard of previous visits. Also, the menu would benefit from some new options.

   We got so lucky with the weather so we sat on the patio, absolutely amazing view, atmosphere, and happy hour menu! When we accidentally stayed longer than we thought and missed a chance at their wine tasting, our server gave us a tasting of a white wine! Christina went above and beyond, we will definitely be coming back!

   Jessica - Thank you so much for the kind words! We're thrilled you got to enjoy the patio on such a beautiful day—there really is nothing like that view paired with happy hour. We're also so glad Christina took great care of you and made your visit extra special. We'll be sure to pass along your compliments to her! Looking forward to welcoming you back soon.

   The service was great! The food was amazing. My wife and I are locals and love this restaurant. We do miss the Elk option though for a main. A great place for date night, family dinners. I don't know if the menu has a kid option but the menu is great for adults.
   

   The Bear, The Fish, The Root & The BerryResponded on March 27, 2025

   Dear Kxansulaxw - Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that you and your wife, as locals, love dining with us. It means a lot to have your continued support! We appreciate your feedback about the elk—we always look for ways to refine our menu while keeping guest favourites in mind. We'll be sure to share your comments with our culinary team. As for little ones, we do have a dedicated kids’ menu, our team is always happy to accommodate younger guests with those dishes. We look forward to welcoming you back for another great date night or family dinner soon!

    Yet another great meal from The Bear! Four of us for wife’s birthday and all had great meals. Seemed like they’d up the portions. Still a favourite for special occasions.
