Me and my boyfriend got an invitation to the private opening event. Basically the event 10/21/17 at 5:30pm was for the servers to practice before the restaurant actually opens. We got our whole entire meal comped including the drinks and a whole pie and a cookie that they were kind enough to give us. I have never been to a black bear diner so I did not know the portions were that big but I had no issue with it. It was one of the best dining experiences I have had in a very very long time. My coffee (yes I really ordered coffee at night) was never empty and we were checked up on by multiple people asking us how things were going. I would like to give some extra special recognition to Jae our server for being so kind. She really did take her time with us and make us feel very welcomed. She even told us that she would love to see us back in here soon. I believe she went above and beyond in her service. We were so full we could only eat 1/4 of our food. I would absolutely love to come back and I highly recommend anyone thinking about going here to do so. I promise you will not be disappointed. We sure were not! Thank you Jae for the wonderful experience and to all the others who's names I did not get. If you were there working at that time and date YOU WERE AWESOME
