Bull & Bear

Had dinner there tonight. Our main servers were Toni and Jeff. They were absolutely amazing. They had plenty of recommendations that did not disappoint. We started with the fried chicken which I wasn't expecting from a steakhouse (it was actually the hostess who first suggested it). We had the filet, pork chop, corn, Mac and cheese, fries and the chocolate bar for dessert.

The event of the night was Toni had a smoke drink (non-alcoholic) for my son. He loved it.

Service and food beats a NYC steakhouse. It's an experience (family friendly). Best meal we had in Orlando (and we've been coming for 3 years). Next year when we go to Disney, we will definitely have a meal here.

Exquisite atmosphere and magnificent food. Our entire service team was exemplary and dining here was truly a pleasure. Mind the upscale dress code; if you are stopping by after a day out at the Orlando attractions you may need to change beforehand. Every course is a culinary delight and the chef is truly an artist.

This is our 4th time visiting Bull and Bear and every single time we've had an amazing experience. We were staying at Signia and decided to make a reservation weeks in advance to make sure we didn't miss out on dinner here. The service is always impeccable by every single team member. For appetizer we ended up ordering the fried chicken, the highlight of this dish besides the chicken being so tender is the mash, even our 2yr old loved it.
Overall the chicken was good, is it worth $50 probably not. But it was great to try it, we always had the curiosity for it.For entrees we ordered two filet mignon and a mac and cheese for our daughter. The quality of the meat as always is superb, tender and soo flavorful. For dessert we ordered the tableside strawberry shortcake. It was very cool to see our server make the ice cream right in front of our eyes.

When we checked into our hotel.. a staff member told us IF we wanted to have dinner at the Bull & Bear, we had better get reservations today. Lucky for us, we got same day reservations! (Online they were booked a month out). Staff was amazing! Everyone working our table and not stopped by to assist, answer questions, take drink orders. .. it didn’t matter. They worked as a team. Food was amazing! Very rarely do we eat at the same restaurant when we travel, but this was one of those exceptions. Everything was so good we had to talk them into squeezing us in the next night so we could try more menu items. When we are back in Orlando, we will definitely book again.

We had a fantastic meal at Bull & Bear.
The staff is very professional yet friendly in a very elegant setting with high ceilings, large windows and gentlemen club type of decor.
We started with the lobster bisque which is poured at the table and the fois gras terrine has an amazing texture and flavor.
As our main course we had the pleasure of sharing the Chateaubriand which is served with potato pavé. The Chateaubriand was perfectly seasoned giving a lovely flavored crust and texture all while being a perfect medium rare. The potato pavé was also excellent and the table side presentation was a reminder of steak restaurants of old.
They have a great well priced wine selection which is itemized in various ways.
Unfortunately we did not have any space left for dessert, which was unfortunately as they also looked amazing.
If you want a great dining experience without being overcharged I highly suggest you make your reservation.

Got to have a great birthday dinner last night at the grand reopening of the regular location after kitchen renovations. Outstanding food, service, and drinks- definitely one of the top meals my life! The chicken shouldn't be as good as it is, the filet was great, and the corn soup was also ridiculously good! Definitely worth the piece for the food and experience!

I wish we had Bull & Bear here in Tampa because everything was perfection. Diego was our Head Server and Shane, Brie, Tim, G and two others assisted him. The fare was artistic and delicious, and each employee was knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We had a beautiful view of the restaurant and the golf course. We will definitely be back! :) Thank you to the team - from reservations through exiting the dining room, they all worked so well together to make this a flawless experience. All we had to do was show up with our appetites. We have a lot of great places here in Downtown Tampa but this definitely would blow them away.

A restaurant in Waldorf, Bonnet Creek. Foods using premium ingredients. Mushroom (side dish) was a bit salty. Caesar salad was great. Strongly recommended. Brioche was really good as well. Attentive service. Spectacular view and ambience.

I had the best birthday dinner at Bull and Bear. The ambiance is like no other, along with the food and drinks. This place is the epitome of food and beverage.
The food was amazing, from the appetizers to the desserts. We ordered the signature fried chicken, which was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, served with mashed potatoes and gravy. We also had the lobster bisque and corn soup. For the main course, we had chateaubriand, which was cooked to perfection and came with a variety of sauces and sides. The steak was tender and flavorful, and the portion was huge. The service was outstanding, thanks to our servers Tim and Aaron. This is THE best restaurant in Orlando. Completely unmatched!

Bull and Bear is absolutely amazing! The lobster bisque is awesome!! The full dining experience was superb!! The service was great! The people were great! The food was spectacular!

Update from 3/16/24:
New menu items & new refreshed atmosphere who dis?!? B&B went through a remodel at the end of 23, and the restaurant looks stunning! Fresh and clean looking, yet still classy and refined. They added a few new items to the menu as well, but we didn't venture out this round as it was our first time back since March of 2023, so we stuck to our favorites. I did try the Blossom cocktail, which was new to the menu and it was excellent, with an amazing floral smell and citrusy/sour zing. Gustavo & team are always on point with exceptional service. You know we'll be back!

Update from 5/28/22:
Continuously exceeds expectations with every visit. We now bring friends and family here to try what we feel is the best dining experience in Orlando. Tim's level of service is unparalleled in the industry, we usually visit twice per year now, and love to see what new and exciting suggestions he has up his sleeve for us. Until next time, B&B!

As usual, B&B never disappoints. THE BEST food in Orlando, hands down. We love it here every time, from the Pasta Explosion to the Tomahawk, and the table-side Caesar salad to the Chocolate Bar, everything is crafted to perfection. However, 2 things draw us back again and again: 1. The Lemon, easily the most interesting, and by-far delicious dessert you'll ever put in your mouth. 2. Tim. He has been a B&B staple since we started coming, and I trust his opinion more than my own at this point. His pairings, his personality, and everything he does to make your experience feel truly special. Highly recommend & can't wait to come back next time.

It's rare that I am impressed by a restaurant experience these days...but B&B did not disappoint. The service was great, the food was amazing, and the entire experience left us wanting more. We will absolutely be back.

Celebrated our anniversary at Bull & Bear last week, and it was phenomenal! The ambiance is charming, and we were warmly welcomed by the hostesses. The food was spectacular - each dish a culinary delight. Unfortunately, no room for dessert, but that just gives us a reason to come back. Can't wait to revisit! Already made another reservation.
Special thanks to Tim for his exceptional service. Was great talking to him.

Everything was wonderful they make you feel so special. I came for my anniversary and it was beautiful and romantic. I'd highly recommend choosing this restaurant for a special occasion over anyplace else. The servers were one of the best parts of my experience along with the delicious food.

Literally been wanting to eat here for such a long time. First of all, service was exceptional from everyone that we met. Never before have I felt so welcomed and taken care of. I wasn’t rushed, the timing of every step of our dinner was perfect. All of our questions were answered with confidence and knowledge. The food was just as spectacular. Steak was cooked perfectly and I savored every bite. We ordered the pasta explosion and that was both of our favorite dish from the entire evening. Drinks did not disappoint either. I got the old fashioned. Dessert was heaven, we ordered the lemon and that was such a unique and exciting dessert. We had so much fun, and we loved every minute of our dinner. Thank you and we will be back to try more of this marvelous menu and enjoy more of their superior hospitality.

Dinner at the bar was great and fun one day. Then had dinner at the tea restaurant and it was AN EXPERIENCE

Absolutely incredible! We celebrated our anniversary here last night and we couldn’t have picked a better place. The ambiance, the staff, the food, the table display, everything was so romantic and so well executed. The food was very fresh, cooked perfectly, and tasted incredible! It was an exquisite experience. Will return, highly recommend.

This place is 5 stars. Unfortunately, it's priced that way, as well. But everything from the bread and salad to the dessert were spectacular. Service is top of the line, professional all the way. Atmosphere was also classy. A++

It had been about 5 years since we last visited Bull & Bear. While some of us loved that experience, my father’s steak wasn’t cooked to his liking. The server had recommended a temperature of medium, and my father should have stuck with his usual medium-rare preference. Anyway, fast-forward to this past week, and our night was absolutely stellar. From gracious and knowledgeable servers at the bar where we began the night, waiting for our friends to arrive (we were talking about a Gin in one of their cocktails that was unfamiliar to me, and the bartender found me later in the dining room to offer a taste straight up) to our main server for dinner, who introduced us to their “wines of the month” - high-end bottles of Champagne they were looking to move being offered at prices not far above retail - a reasonable splurge for the evening. Pay attention to the specials they’re offering - we opted for those for about half of our dishes. Steaks again were recommended at medium due to the aging, but go with whatever temp makes you happy. While it is pricy, this is somewhere I would trust for a special occasion if you enjoy fine dining. We will most definitely be back!

This restaurant stands out in service. Have not experienced anything like it.

Staff is very friendly and personal, food was delicious. Will come back in a heartbeat!

Also a big thanks to Cara for arranging me the reservation in a short time!
