I visited Bear Street Tavern based off of a recommendation by a coworker. Beer and pizza is usually…read morea winning combination and Bear Street Tavern is a great example of this. Admittedly, I'm not much of a drinker but I'll have some once in a while and Bear Street seems to have a pretty good selection. I tried a Vietnamese Coffee Stout which I enjoyed. I'm definitely more of an eater than I am a drinker and the eats at Bear Street Tavern are excellent. My party got 2 pizzas and a salad and we enjoyed it all. To start we got the Tavern Bowl. It's a bunch of different vegetables with a Tahini Miso Dressing and kimchi on top. All the different textures and flavors worked really well together and the salad served as a nice break between bites of pizza. The Wheeler Hut pizza has mushrooms, ricotta, truffle oil, pesto, and mozzarella. If you're a fan of truffle flavor you'll enjoy this pizza. As soon as it was brought out I could already smell the truffle. The Mediterranean has olives, feta cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, artichokes, red onions, chili flakes, spinach, mozzarella, and balsamic glaze. A little busier than the Wheeler Hut, but it was equally delicious. I'm not sure which pizza I liked more. Both pizzas had a fantastic crust with some char. Substantial enough to stand up to the toppings but still a little doughy for a nice chew. The char gives a nice crunch as well. Service is quick and friendly and the prices are fair, especially in a tourist area. I definitely recommend Bear Street Tavern.

They have a bar and a few TVs. I ordered their Post Burger, which came with a huge pile of fries. The burger was fine, pretty standard, except there was a sweet red sauce, I assume the house burger sauce listed on the menu, that did make it different. I liked our server, even though he forgot I had asked for a salad instead of fries and he had to be reminded we wanted a to go box for my wife's pizza. We got to chat with him for a couple of minutes, nice guy. I think he is just someone who is easily distracted.

Terrific service, super happy we made it in for happy hour too! A FABulous maple old fashioned, and everything we ate was so delicious.

Menus and tables could have been cleaner but this place has a bar vibe so....let it go.

Overall the food here was pretty good and on par with what I would expect from a pub. The burger…read morehad a house sauce and BBQ combo on it that was delicious. It's worth noting that this is a double smash burger. The poutine side with the burger was well put together, the fries were crispy and well salted. The fried brussel sprouts on the other hand were a little bit of a confusing dish. This dish is surprisingly quite light on brussel sprouts and seems almost more like it's meant to be a salad. In addition, while the sprouts are fried and crispy, the same cannot be said for the bacon. Overall, I'd like to see more Brussels, crispy bacon to better crumble around the sprouts and less arugula. The burnt ends were a pretty good dish but were little tougher than I would normally expect from a pice of meat like that and had a texture more similar to rib caps instead of brisket. They also didn't seem to have been smoked on a smoker and just had a smokey glaze instead. I really liked the vibe of this place, it's a very relaxed environment to come and unwind at after a long day out in the parks. There's a semi-private outdoor patio with plenty of seating and good spacing between the tables. I also really thought that the service here was great, the staff were all amazing and super friendly. Everything I ordered was brought out quickly and my glasses were always refilled without me even having to ask.

Since we didn't plan on eating, we shared the Spilt Pea Soup and Bratwurst. Both were absolutely delicious. I really couldn't decide what I enjoyed with my brat more, the garlic mash potatoes, or the beer and onion gravy. The spilt pea soup had plenty of bacon in it to give a nice flavor and texture. I'd highly recommend stopping by and enjoying the scenery.

I attended Waldhaus with a larger party after playing golf. One of our party members ordered the…read moreappetizers and dessert ahead of time, and each of us were ordering our own main course from the menu. The Alpine Cheese Fondue was pretty good but to me not worth the price...they had small fondue pots to share and the cheese went quickly while we had a pile of vegetables and other dipping ingredients left. We also had one of our fondue pots go out after the server noticed it was 'too hot' and apparently turned it off. When we asked a different server minutes later for help getting it on again, they said nothing while fiddling with it and left the table. It would have been good to acknowledge it was 'good to go' or have them show us how to operate them in case it goes out again...but no, just fiddled and left. I ordered the Steelhead Trout for dinner and it comes with zucchini, capers and a dill sauce. It was quite good and would order again in the future. For dessert we had the chocolate fondue fountains which came with strawberries, marshmallows, cookies, banana bread and more. The chocolate fountain was great but after the cheese fondue and main course, I couldn't stomach too many bites. The worst part of the night was the service. The two main servers politely asked us to 'not move around' after seating so we don't mess up their system. Even though noboby moved, most of the checks were incorrect- we got each other's bills, we got charged for items we didn't order, etc. After we called attention to it...the hostess or manager came out and grumpily grabbed the incorrect bills, crumpled them up and left. About 10min later, she came back out with the updated bills...where a few were still incorrect. She started barking out that they were still missing a drink and another order and was asking around who had it. At this point when our table has paid $1000+ for the meal and you've messed up 2xs and made us wait 15min, you should probably just eat the $30 of food and drink missing as a courtesy. Nope, this cranky manager was practically blaming us for them not having a good system and accountability. Unfortunately, based on the service and the price vs. value of the food, I cannot recommend this place.
