Recently purchased a home in Woodstock and have been experiencing the local restaurants. The Bear came highly recommended and we were not disappointed.

Reservations are recommended for this popular restaurant located next to a stream in Woodstock. Our appetizers, entrees, and desserts were attractive and delicious.
