Table 43.1 at Black Bear Lodge

The veggie burger is amazing. So happy to have gluten free bun as an option. The garlic lemon vinegarette is delicious. Staff is so pleasant and accommodating but they seem to be a little slow paced.

Great menu. Lots f great choices. The steak s great. They do drop the ball often causing the food to be very in consistent. If they could execute better the food would’ve really good.

Service is lacking. That should implement a training program for their servers.

Atmosphere is lacking. They should definitely spruce the place up a bit. At least try by adding some plantlife, lighting, and use the fire place daily.

Certainly convenient when staying in the Lodge.
Initial seating and service was a bit slow.
Once we ordered, the service was more attentive.
The food was quite good. The Calamari appetizer was crispy and tasty.
My wife certainly enjoyed her Pappardelle with sausage. My beef with Madeira sauce and Smashed potatoes was great.

We had a nice dinner. Service was friendly and attentive. The burger (which I had without the egg) was excellent. Better than other Stratton restaurants Grizzly's and Mulligans. Husband's pasta was OK. Prices are high and we expect that at a ski resort. Ambience OK. Tables were well spaced for Covid. In terms with their mask policy: wear at table when not eating or drinking and when server is present - this may be more stringent than other places or than the state mandate - but let's keep the servers safe so this restaurant can stay open and servers can keep their jobs.

We will no longer be dining in restaurants that require people to wear masks while seated. This is not acceptable or makes any sense. We have found the food in this restaurant to be not consistent. The same dish from one day to another can be good or bad.

Stopped by after skiing. Food was pretty decent, but a small menu choice to order from. The service was a bit poor, mostly due to the negative attitude from the server. I'd skip and go elsewhere next time, especially for the price.

COVID experience makes difficulty but service was great
Food solid
Drinks well served
Honored reservation right on time

We arrived to a very empty dinning room, with only 2 other tables inhabited. We were walked to our table, and told that we must wear our masks at all times unless eating or drinking (in a very negative rude tone). We indicated that on that same day we had been to other restaurants in Vermont (Stratton Mountain), that did not have that requirement in place. The employee sent her manager to our table and in a very rude manner she stated we must leave if we did not comply with the mask rules while seated at our table. We left the restaurant, and immediately checked the Vermont COVID restaurant guidelines, and there was no such mandate on the official governors web sight. We are property owners at Stratton mountain and really like to support our local businesses, especially during these most difficult times. With that said it was a very negative uninviting experience. The employees were sullen and rude. Net, net even under normal conditions we would never step foot in their property again.

So happy to see the restaurant open and keeping safety in mind. Great selection of menu items and good food and service. Casual dining after skiing all day - if they dressed up the interior a bit it would really improve the rating.

VERY quiet due to Covid constraints and at least 4 tables of diners who decided they'd not wear masks when the server was at their tables so they got up and left the restauarant.

No vibe as there were only 5 tables seated while we were there but we had a courteous server, yummy apps and it felt safe to be out.

The waitress was not friendly and made us feel uncomfortable even when we were placing our order and asking questions. Then we asked for water and extra chips and no one came back to the table for over 15 min. When she brought back the water she slammed it on the table and didn't say a word or ask if we needed anything else and walked away in a hurry. The restaurant is very pricey and I expect to have a waiter who is friendly and courteous even if they are under stress. The food was very good and the social distancing was appropriate considering the current covid situation.

The first night we ate there we had a different waitress and she was very friendly and helpful in placing the order and came back frequently to see if we needed anything.

Very nice place. Food was delicious. Tabled nicely spaced out for social distancing.

Pork chop was outstanding, beef stew was average. A little pricey by our standards but we generally don’t eat “on the mountain” for that reason. Light drink pour.
Great service, good job with social distancing and cleanliness.

The restaurant is a nice size but it was very cold and I almost felt like I was eating in a banquet hall after they had cleaned up from a wedding...zero decorations, zero ambience. It's Christmas, it's a ski resort, the decorations should look like a warm and cozy cottage...nope. Second problem, the food, Some of the food. I had the pork chop. It was cooked very well, it was juicy and flavorful. The frizzled potatoes(the reason I ordered this dish) were cold and so was whatever vegetable was on my plate. My son had the fried chicken sandwich...at least the description was "fried". He cut it in half and it was raw, it's chicken for heavens sake. It wasn't rare, it was raw. The manager came over and said we didn't have to pay for it, thanks. They did comp my son a drink. The server was good and very attentive. Great Bear Lodge, if you are not going to give your restaurant any attention make it a coffee shop. Very little you can mess up in a coffee shop.

The food was outstanding. The only thing better was the service.

Friendly Staff, DELICIOUS food! Definitely a place to try out while at Stratton. I was very comfortable with how spaced out the tables are and the staffs cleanliness.

Social distanced dining done right. Great food and great service. Manager was super friendly!

Great location. Clean and updated nicely room. Free shuttle to the mountain was fantastic. Food was spectacular at Table 43.1. We will be back! Highly recommend!
