Dinner

Big Bear does full dinner service every night and it is going to knock your socks off.  We are pleased to present to you our dinner menu through February, created just for Big Bear by our two evening chefs, Clementina Russo and Neil Negri. Our Monday through Wednesday menus are consistent for the whole month, though Thursday through Saturday service may vary. Please see our menus below.

MONDAY through WEDNESDAY: THE CLEM SHOW.

Clementina Russo is an infinitely talented physicist, with no end to ways to make greens and garlic taste like the best thing you’ve ever had, every time. Clem’s meals are hearty and Italian-influenced, in the style of our Sunday Dinner, which is also her [very beautiful and delicious] show.

Mondays
I. Split pea stew with garlic-rosemary infused oil. $10
II. Fennel and pea shoot frittata. Bitter greens salad. $12

Tuesdays
I. Peasant’s purse  $12
Sauteed mushrooms, dandelion greens, brown rice, toasted walnuts, fried egg & shaved pecorino. 
II. Pork chops, in the pan with white wine and garlic. Smashed potatoes and sauteed greens.$14

Wednesdays
Pasta Puttanesca and bitter greens salad.$12

THURSDAY through SATURDAY: NEILTIME

Neil Negri, a Virginia native, does some fantastic, colorful, and delicious work with Korean fusion (not to mention his talent with desserts) and switches up his menu for us every week. Follow us on Twitter for updates. Here is this week’s menu, starting Feb 2:

I. Spicy Eggplant with rainbow carrots, crispy basil and jasmine rice $11 (vegan)

III. Soba noodle soup with beech mushrooms, Asian greens and pork belly $11 (cannot be vegetarian)

III.  Apple Pie a la mode (with vanilla ice cream) $5

SUNDAY EVENINGS: SUNDAY FAMILY STYLE DINNER & CAFE SERVICE

Because of our Sunday dinner series, on Sunday evenings we offer a limited menu for people who are not attending the community dinner.  It changes every week.  Last week, we enjoyed a hearty vegetable stew, made with two kinds of turnip, kale, beets, rainbow carrots, and pecorino. Delightful.

Our Sunday dinner series is a special weekly occasion:  a reservation-only, 3-5 course meal prepared here at Big Bear using local ingredients.  This meal really showcases Big Bear’s culinary philosophy: to offer high quality foods, prepared with care, for great company, in great ambiance.  The third Sunday of every month is made with vegetarian ingredients only.  We would love for you to join us.  For more information, please click here.
