To be fair, they did get some pretty decent damage in on their surprise round. They just didn’t get many more chances.

That sounds like a good way for the PCs to become rulers of the underdark.
How did that hole make us fall exactly on the Menzoberranzan throne?

Nat 20 for the win.

Why are they resting with bugbears?
On their int the bears stand up, put on hats, pull out canes, and dance off stage left
5 level 3+ characters vs 3 CR 1 bugbears and a handful of CR 1/4 goblins.
That is a trivial encounter. Of course you wrecked them.
If I were a player in this game I actually would be worried. The DM doesn’t seem to have a clue how to make a balanced encounter and after this is likely to just look up random Monster Manual entries of a CR six levels higher than the party or throw so many weak ones at the party that the action economy makes it impossible to survive.
You comment does assume a bit of context. They might be a new DM just learning how to do stuff, in which case it’s perfect fine to not be perfect every session.
Heck, it’s perfectly fine to not be perfect even for experienced DMs. The most important thing is that whatever happens both the players and the DM learned something.
