Menu for Bear Mountain Lodge in Silver City, NM

Relaxing, beautiful nature. Treat me like family

I have been a customer of the restaurant (open for holiday meals, serving pricey but decent food) and also had visiting family... stay there upon my recommendation. Lovely facilities, but in my opinion/based on a recent interaction, the lodge is encumberedby deeply hostile customer service practices. The owner is "a private person who does not enjoy sharing [her] property withmembers of the public" (her words)... Was recently hiking on the lodge-adjacent trails, leaving by dusk (which was the postedtime for non-guests to offload). She came out onto the trail to inform me, in the most withering, imperious, disdainful tonesshe could muster, that members of the public were to leave by six and that I was not welcome to be there. Her demeanor wasunaccountably, shockingly hateful from the start... I responded that I was sorry and indeed already leaving, but that thisinformation did not match her posted guidelines for public use. And then... she simply banned me from the premises. The lodge isa venerable old place, with gorgeous surrounds and tasteful old west style. But these offerings were in place long before thecurrent owners, and sans the veneer of hostility. A most unfortunate experience at an establishment of supposed hospitality. Read more

Phenomenal stay! If I could rate Bear Mountain Lodge higher I would. All of the staff was exceptional, the meals were... extraordinary. Read more

This is our go to place for Sunday brunch and special occasions like Christmas and Thanksgiving. The staff is extra friendly... and the food is always very good. They always offer a vegetarian dish and this carnivore has grown to love some of them: theeggplant parmigiana is fabulous. Last week I had the duck confit and it was the most tender I?ve ever had in my almost 80years. Since we live in town we never stay here but the rooms I?ve seen are first class and the lodge and grounds arebeautiful. I?ve also made purchases in the art displayed throughout the lodge. They are also pet friendly in the cabin andannex rooms. Read more
