What Agostino Pravatà doesn't like about Dancing Bear Appalachian Bistro:
The service should be improved. The server got a wrong order but he left it on the bill. The metre passed asking if she can “offer” wine, but it was billed (it was our anniversary). Nothing was offered for the event. View all feedback. What John Alhelm likes about Dancing Bear Appalachian Bistro:
Had a delightful dinner. Our waiter was fantastic and very nice. The food was just enough and my filet mignon was cooked perfectly. My wife's chicken dinner was delicious as well. Sat at a fire pit after dinner and made s'mores. View all feedback.
