Chef Todd Eisenhauer and his wife, Liz, introduce a new and innovative concept in Warrenton, Virginia dining. After acquiring the beautiful building at 32/34 Main Street in Historic Downtown near Courthouse Square, and realizing the opportunity to create two separate restaurants, the first-time restaurant owners set about to put their vision of unique, simple, delicious dining into motion. "We don't believe that our guests have to dress up and pay high dollar for quality, fresh, locally grown gourmet food."
The Black Bear Bistro is a casual, friendly "pub" featuring Virginia beers on tap, local wines and a menu that offers everyday selections from Homemade Soups and Fresh Salads, to Appetizers, Sandwiches and Entrees while utilizing as much fresh, seasonal and local ingredients as possible. Lunch specials will include a daily Lawyer's Lunch to expedite our guests who are on a timeline, a Sandwich of the Day, as well as our Daily Soup and Salad selections. The Bistro menu is available on our patio as well, which is open for lunch and dinner, featuring umbrella covered wrought iron tables and a gurgling fountain. Black Bear also offers a Cub's Menu for the kiddies.
Sweeney's Cellar, the "distinguished dining" restaurant is located one floor below street level and harkens back to the Speakeasy Days during Prohibition. Featuring a full bar concentrating on our specialty Martinis, plus two dining areas, complete with stone walls, granite etchings and two hearthstone brick fireplaces, Sweeney's offers a menu which changes almost daily presented at the table on blackboards by your server. Each menu item is created by Chef Todd and his staff to feature offerings from local farmers, Farmer's Markets and Virginia grown products, such as Farm Fed beef, pork and chicken, fresh produce, and local cheeses. Sweeney's Cellar strives to offer "farm to table" specials each night.
The friendly staff, and crew, as well as the regular satisfied customers, would like to invite you to experience this unique and innovative restaurant concept of a "True Virginia Restaurant".
