Bear Springs Bistro & Lounge - Highland, California

Lee Burton (Chef Lee)

I’ve enjoyed fantastic food and had numerous great experiences at this hidden gem ? Just went again last night with friends, my salmon was excellent and we all loved our cocktails. Friends loved their dishes, one had the pork chop which she said was amazing, the other enjoyed her shrimp & scallops entree. Highly recommend this spot for a great night out. Ohhhh ! And their loaded yucca chips are divine! Their Sunday brunch is excellent too !

My husband and I finally got a chance to experience this hidden gem! The drinks were top notch (thanks to Don's expertise in mixology) and the food was amazing! My husband said it was the best lamb dish he's ever had. Juliet helped us in the dining room and she was superb. All the staff was fun and personable. Andrew came over to check on us and tell us more about Bear Springs too. You can tell they all take great pride in the hospitality of their clients. It was our anniversary and they made us feel valued and we had one of the best meals ever! Thank you Helen, Don, Juliet, Andrew and Paul!

I went in for breakfast with high expectations and overall, I was sadly disappointed.
✅️Was seated immediately. I requested coffee, splenda and creamer at that time. ?Took almost 15 minutes for my coffee to arrive. ?
I was rarely checked in with by anyone. When they did check in and offered to bring something or if I stopped someone to ask for anything it took another 10-20minutes for them to bring it. Overall, I was a party of 1 and was there 2 hours!
Employees were all very kind, warm and slow as hell.
The food, ordered seafood omelet. The egg was very dense? The seafood was very dry and tough. I am a foodie. I love to eat!!!! My standards are Not THAT high. I do not understand how they could go so wrong. There were only about 6 other tables happening at the time I was there and it looked like at least 3 servers on the floor for 7 tables. WTH happened?

It's located inside the Bear Spring hotel with a big parking lot. It also provides free charge for EV while we dine or stay at the hotel. I went to this place a few times and decided to write a review since they're able to maintain the good quality of food. I always ordered Jumpo Shrimp and Scallop with rice. It's my favorite dish. Reasonable price with high quality of foods. The beer is overpriced ($9/beer). They have a special desert that I ordered but forgot to take a picture of. It's espresso cream brulee. I will add that picture when I come back next time. You can redeem your reward points from Yaamava Casino, which is Serrano Club, to pay for the food.

This seemingly off the radar bistro located inside the hotel offers a variety of food that would surely satisfy any appetite

The appetizers and the main entree dishes offers guests a fine dining experience that one would expect in a stand alone restaurant.

I ordered the 10oz petite fillet. It was delicious and extremely flavorful. The dish came with mashed potatoes, asparagus, and carrots, all which, were equally tasty. Also offered are dishes such as; seabass and ribeye along with a host of others.

My server/bartender, Don was great. He was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and even recommended some customer favorites. His personality and friendly disposition was very much appreciated.

The bistro closes at 9pm but the bar area is open until 10pm. And for those late night cravings, 24-hour room service is available offering a full menu.

The hotel room accommodations are also worthy of laud and praise. I stayed in a junior suite, which, I found very spacious. It had a modern decor design with an upscale vibe.

A rotating 48 inch TV screen sits in the center of the room allowing guests to view it from their bed or the sitting area. A portable tablet allows guests to surf the internet while accessing other services.

The hotel is very clean and the support staff is extremely accommodating. The checkin & out procedure is very smooth, quick and efficient.

The hotel offers a 24-hour courtesy shuttle to and from the Yaamava Casino, which, is only a short 10 minute ride.

The close proximity of the casino coupled with the courtesy shuttle, the bistro and the hotel made for a wonderful stay.

Surprise of the year for us. Not at all what we were expecting. Much more classy, homely and pleasant. I don't know why we were thinking otherwise. Perhaps, memories of old hotels associated with new casinos. Bear Springs was a delight. Definitely won't hesitate the next time.
