Came to listen to their live music and a dinner of course! Had a warm welcome from manager Josh and a stellar service by cheerful Paul! Restaurant was busy Food were all served with such artistry!! For starters we ordered the Black Garlic Fries and yummy Bacon wrapped pork belly!! The Ahi Japanese Salad was very refreshing with the seared Ahi tuna were perfect! Now let me tell you my winning OSCAR Salmon dish!!! Nothing compared to any salmon dish I ever tasted !!! According to Paul it was Alaskan Salmon .... I could tell the freshness of the grilled filet salmon topped with chunks of lobster, shrimp and crab meat as well. Bearnaise sauce was creamy not acidic...carrots and asparagus were the perfect pair that balanced the dish ... now the garlic herb rice was a Jasmine Japanese rice cooked to perfection except few hard grains got plated underneath !! Paul our thoughtful server had the salmon dish had it prepared to share with hubby !!! So the plating was just too perfect to look appealing and appetizing!!! Nice !!! Well the desserts are to die for!!! Espresso Creme Brulee which I didn't really want to share was also the best I ever had ... Hubby had the newly creation of delicious Flourless Chocolate cake !!! Well he gobbled that cake !!! Will surely come back soon to try other signature dishes and looking forward to another scrumptious meal with warm hospitality and perfect service !' read more

Dear friends, It had been some time since I visited the Bear Springs Bistro and had a meal. The menu has been updated and is set to be updated again soon for the seasonal offerings, brought to you by the outstanding kitchen of Chef Kyle. I did want to mention how good the food I had was, especially loved the Citrus Grilled Swordfish, which was exceptional in quality and taste. The freshness of the herbs mixed with brightness and tang of the acidity of the sauce really brings out the flavor in this delicious fish entree. However, it is soon to be replaced on the menu so hurry and grab a bite before it's gone!! The Bistro is also offering its sticky Korean BBQ pork ribs, which are mouthwatering and so tender the meat falls off the bone! As always, the service here is exceptional and cannot be matched. The entire staff is so warm and hospitable. So why not treat yourself and make a reservation and don't forget to tell them Ms. Ross sent you! read more

10/10 stars!! The food is amazing at Bear Springs Hotel Bistro & Lounge. On separate occasions, I've ordered and enjoyed the Rib Eye Steak Sandwich, the Wedge Salad and the Lobster Tacos- I recommend them all! Who knew this little bistro/lounge at the Bear Springs Hotel in Highland, Ca. would have such a delicious menu? Oh, and they change the dining menu options ever so often. They also have a full bar menu for drinks as well. The vibe is upscale casual. There are two dinning areas at the hotel. One is the bistro (for more quiet dining) and directly across the hall is the lounge, where food and drink are also available. Great spot for a fun date night. On Friday and Saturday nights in the lounge, there is live music from 6-9pm. You can just order drinks and enjoy the music in the lounge, but you're gonna want to try the food too-it's yummy! The Bear Springs Hotel Bistro & Lounge is not just for hotel guests. It's a go to spot for locals, vacationers and those visiting the Yaamava Casino. Check it out. read more

It looks like it could have such potential, but unfortunately this is not a delicious dining experience. We had two different meals that were just sub par. Most recently we had breakfast. To start, the server took our order and was polite and organized. She brought out our drinks efficiently. The coffee is flavorless. The veggie omelet was flavorless too and tasted bland and like the eggs were watered down. The seafood omelette was fine. The biscuit and gravy was big. The pitcher for the hot tea had a dangerously broken handle that could have fallen off. I asked for Tabasco and got a little syrup container filled with Tabasco so that o needed to borrow someone's spoon to put it lightly on the potatoes because it was weird that it was to be poured on. The food doesn't look like the pictures if the food in the elevator doors. Disappointingly mid. read more

I'm glad it wasn't crowded while we had dinner, possibly because this place is inside of a hotel, but I'd made a reservation ahead of time anyways. The server was personable and kind, the food was delicious, and the dining area was nicely decorated. They even had live music across the hall in the bar area. The menu was different to the one I saw in pictures, but I didn't think to take a photo of it so I could share the current menu. But I have pictures of the delicious food and drinks! read more

I have been here a few times and had good food and service. We came here to celebrate Thanksgiving with what we thought would be a nice meal. Unfortunately, I will not be back. The dining room was clean and nice. The service friendly, but was slow and all three meals came out barely warm. It was an utter disappointment especially when your "Thanksgiving Feast" was $42. read more

The service was not efficient. The drink I had, the 53 Mai Tai, tasted only like pineapple juice. When I asked the server if she mixed up my drink with a mocktail, she said, "No it's fine." And then she left for about an hour. It took another hour to get my check. The area to eat in is nice, and beautifully decorated. It was kind of slow however. I don't know if I will go again. read more

Been here few times already. I like the atmosphere, food, service especially the guy who helped me through selecting special menu and wine, only reason for 4star is because of this other lady server who seem to need more training, doesn't know much about the menu and don't even care because when I asked for something that didn't meet my expectation, she simply said that's the way it is. So...everything else is great. read more

Excellent service and good quality ingredients plus well and properly cooked food. For the price, it is of appropriate value which met our expectations. We had gone to other local restaurants that sell steaks or beef on 40th streets and nearby areas. This little hidden restaurant is by far the best in the northern San Bernardino and Highland area. We do not gamble nor enjoy casino scenes. We just come here to eat. And enjoy the food and services. Ambiance is clean, orderly, and modern. No crazy carpets as one may see inside Yaamava casino, no loud music, no slot machine bombardment. They welcome none hotel customers, who just like their food. This we appreciate. read more

Steaming hot and impeccably crafted, the tonkotsu ramen arrives with a rich, milky pork broth that coats the palate in pure, deeply savory bliss. Tender springy noodles hold just the right bite, soaking up every bit of the complex, umami-packed liquid. Slices of chashu pork melt on the tongue, balanced by a jammy, soy-marinated soft-boiled egg and fresh green onions that cut through the richness. It is a soul-warming, beautifully balanced bowl that turns simple ingredients into absolute culinary comfort. read more

The food is always great, the staff is very friendly and attentive, and the bartender makes great and perfectly balanced cocktails. Every time we've gone there, they treat us like old friends. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. read more

The amazing customer service at this hotel is truly something special! We wanted to say a huge thank you to Edwin, Nathan, and especially Deepika at the front desk for making us feel so welcome and treating us so well. From the very start, they were patient, professional, and really focused on making sure we were comfortable. Their kindness, attention to detail, and willingness to help us out made us feel right at home and really appreciated as guests. Their fantastic service turned our stay into something truly memorable. We highly recommend this hotel, especially for its amazing front desk team. Keep up the great work! God bless you all. read more

My wife and I love this little place - well both little places. The nice restaurant, and the little lounge off to the side. The restaurant offers a nice, somewhat fancy-feel dining experience with high quality food selections and very good service. The little lounge has a cool vibe with really nice bartenders and they usually have live music on the weekends. They serve food and snacks in both spots so you can't lose. I left pictures of the food we have tried, and the nice smoked old fashioned they make. (Very smokey, but very yummy) If you live here in Highland, you don't need to go far for great food and a great bar! read more

My brother and I went here to grab a bite the other day and get out of the heat. First time going and WOW! What a great first impression! The Atmosphere was great--parking made sense and was easy and the staff and service were top notch! All of the people there did not make us feel uncomfortable and they totally were kind and welcoming. We sat at the bar and the bartender knew the kind of mimosa I like and my brother's bloody mary was choice! Our server was really nice and accommodating as well! I got the katsudon breakfast bowl and it was really on point! A truly excellent experience and I will be going back! 5 read more

The service was good. Our waiter, Chip, was attentive and was very knowledgeable of the specials. They also have a good amount of plant based and vegetarian options. I ordered the vegan burger with the desert flower cocktail and a crème brûlée for dessert. The brand of vegan cheese didn't melt at all and the brand of vegan meat looked very pink, different from what Im used to. The espresso creme brûlée made up was light in taste and the perfect addition to lunch. Other than that, the drink and my overall experience was great. read more

What a hidden gem in Highland, CA. I'm so glad we walked out of Applebees to experience this amazing place. The food and service were excellent. The ambience is really nice.

this is one of my first reviews on yelp because I wanted it to be known what an incredible server Chip was.

Cannot thank him enough for his kind welcome and amazing service. read more

We were headed to a concert at Yaamava and found this place on Yelp. The prime burger was one of the most delicious burgers I have ever had. The entire environment was welcoming and all the staff were friendly and helpful. Robin was by far the most amazing server, making a great rum punch drink. She went over and above to ensure our order was made quickly so we would not be late for the concert. Would love to stay in the hotel next time we're in the area. Thank you for making the beginning of our night great. read more

Great place, nice and clean everyone is very pleasant and friendly. Sadly I was served the worst breakfast steak I ever had and could not believe they actually served it. I was too tired to argue or refuse to pay so I asked for a side of bacon. The elevator projects these delicious breakfast steaks so I had high expectations. My steak literally looked like it was poached or cooked in the microwave. Shame on the cook for allowing that steak to leave the kitchen. But yes I'll be back we enjoyed my stay. read more

To celebrate a friends birthday and reign out, the girls and I headed to Bear Springs Grill for a nice dinner. We made a reservation and were greeted and seated promptly on arrival. We ordered The calamari and the balsamic glazed roasted Brussels sprouts for appetizers to share and both were delicious! I ordered the Lobster Roll with was filled with fresh lobster and rivals many I've enjoyed in Maine and Boston. I sampled the crabcake which was equally delicious! When in Redlands, I'll be back! read more

Service was disappointingly slow, and our server was not very attentive throughout the evening. We brought our own wine; she opened the bottle but never poured it, nor did she offer to pour either of the two bottles we brought. We split the "prime ribeye," but what we received looked and tasted more like two strip steak portions. For a prime ribeye, it was extremely tough and dry, with no marbling or fat at all. The lobster mac and cheese was also overcooked to the point where the lobster itself was dry. We ordered a charcuterie board to start and used the utensils already on the table. When our salads arrived, we had to ask for salad forks. The server brought only one because I hadn't specifically asked for two. I ended up using my dinner fork, which she then removed from the plate and placed directly on the table when clearing--rather than replacing it with a clean one. She eventually brought a fresh napkin and steak knife, but the overall service felt careless and below the standard I expected, especially given the rave reviews I had heard. Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend this restaurant and likely wouldn't return. read more

Excellent service and top box food! A hidden gem in Highland. Definitely a 5 Star place for business or business casual lunch.

Tired of casino food. We went here confident that they would have better food....Yes! We weren't' disappointed! We started with their super delicious Apple Cinnamon Roll...my friend and I had the Pork chop smothered in country gravy with a sunny side egg on top and crispy O'Brien potatoes .... very delicious!!!! I wonder why this chef was hired here. Instead of Yaamava? read more

This is my third time here at the bistro and lounge and I've enjoyed each time very much. Today I had the grilled ribeye and cheese sandwich and the amazing peach bread pudding dessert. Both were delicious very tasty. The hotel and restaurant in lounge or very elegant very pleasing to come in and eat here. Chip was the server this time. He was very proficient, friendly, and professional. All in all a very good experience and looking forward to my next visit here. Definitely recommend stopping here. It's kind of a hidden jewel. read more

This excellent review is well deserved. Today, we had brunch at this establishment, and we always enjoy the food when we visit. However, today was especially memorable. We invited family to join us, including my special-needs nephew. He is very active, and unfamiliar places can be challenging for him. Our server, Sebastian, was incredibly kind, patient, caring, and compassionate toward our situation. He made the experience much easier for us. In fact, the entire staff did. I highly recommend this place not only for its excellent food, but even more for its outstanding customer service. Please give them a chance. I'm confident you'll enjoy not only the excellent food but also the outstanding hospitality that makes this place so special. read more

Hidden Gem? So, I have been here 3 times now, and its safe to say this is my favorite place to go. The food is incredible! So far I have had Loco Moco, Mahi tacos, Chicken Chilaquiles and a pesto veggie omelette. (yes thats a lot of food for three visits, I went with my wife and we shared plates). Aside from the food being incredible, the service being extraordinary and the costs being more than reasonable, my favorite thing is the location. Being in N. San Bernardino there are not a lot of options for dining without going to Rancho or Redlands. This place is a no brainer! So far I have only been in the lounge/Bar area. 2 of the times we have went, no one was in there, but they were happy to accommodate us. Fantasia, Sebastian, Stacey, Ana. All top notch staff. (Sebastian make an amazing old fashioned!) read more

Let me begin by saying this restaurant is inside a hotel. I found it on Yelp, and it looked like something enjoyable to try. I give 5 stars to the server/bartender Robin. 4 stars for the ambiance, however only 2 stars for our food Please read on...... When we walked in, we decided to look at the menu, before sitting inside the restaurant. There was a bar area across from it. We stood in there to look at the menu. Shortly after walking in the Bar, a very kind employee named Robin came over. We had quick conversation with her and expressed what we were doing, she immediately said you must stay, everything is house made. She ran and brought over some complimentary Yucca Chips (they were good). Since she was so so kind, we decided to stay, as well as dine inside the bar at the tables. We ordered 2 Bistro Burgers, by her recommendation. 1 ordered medium, the other medium well.. with French fries. So upon cutting the burger in half a large amount of blood just spilled out everywhere! Absolutely Horrible! We called Robin over and showed her, she agreed that it was just over rare. She took my plate back to the chef, whom agreed it was wrong. Very disappointing. My husband went ahead and ate so he didn't have cold food. It took so long that he was done with his, so much for enjoying dinner together. My burger was brought back by a woman, African American in plain clothes, she said nothing to me at all. She placed it on the table and walked away. Here's what should never ever happen..... my burger was served to me cut in half, and then inside the half's, they were cut open too! Really. If you are not confident in cooking to temp, that's concerning. I did go ahead and eat the burger, as I was very hungry. However, it had absolutely no flavor, had to ask Robin for black pepper, and dipped it in ranch too make it edible. The fries on both plates were extremely overcooked and crunchy. Not such a great experience for us. Robin did mention we should come back and try other items, as the menu was changing next week. I admit I'm very hesitant to return, even though there was a few items on menu that sound wonderful. Again, Robin was the Rockstar at this establishment. I wish this had been a better experience, and if that was the manager who dropped the re make at the table, then she should have introduced herself, apologized, and offer something to us. She did none of that. Parking.... it's a hotel, so we had to park a distance away. read more
