Black Bear Cafe

This is a fun place with great food and friendly service. It is always busy, but I've never had to wait too long for a table. There's usually a live performer singing Irish folk songs during dinner, and not uncommon to hear the entire restaurant sing along. They are all about Guinness, if that's your thing.

We went to get a quick bite. We ordered a Ruben Sandwich and Bangers and Mash. The food never arrived. We left after waiting over an hour for the food to show up. The only reason we are giving 2 stars is because the waitress was nice and kept checking on us and apologizing for the slowness of the kitchen.

Naples best kept secret!! I've been twice this season. Both meals were hot and fresh!! Staff is fabulous! Tonight we enjoyed live music. I've had the fish and chips and the salmon. I would order either dish again. Give the bear balls a try. I wish they packed a bit more flavor but not all palettes are the same.

We have vacationed in the area as a family for many years. When we discovered Black Bear Cafe, it solved the puzzle of how to please everyone's tastes. Two all time favorites are the Shepherds Pie and Fish and Chips. The burgers are also. very good. My husband and I happily discovered that the restaurant is alive and well in August 2021-- when Covid19 is still a very real concern. Food was good to very good, Guinness was well poured and the wine selection is well priced. We shared a nice bottle of Cigar Box Malbec. And yet... Our observations: we both noted that the hosts and staff were not wearing masks. Some of the diners wore masks while entering or moving around the building.) The live music corner is close to a number of tables. However, renovations have created many nice booths. Our waitress was nice but she seemed to pay more attention to other tables. She brought the check without further attention "Everything ok? Would you like anything else? We have two house made desserts...we only have five minutes left." For the record, we got one dessert to go. The latest mask statement this summer by order of Governor Mills: advised for public interior spaces.
