    One of the best dining experiences I have ever had. Bull & Bear infuses everything with the highest quality, from the service to the food. Each item was thought through extremely well, with a wonderful twist to each; and, then, was executed flawlessly. The corn soup was exceptionally smooth with a unique flavor with the truffle. The fried chicken was juicy, perhaps well-priced for the extensive preparation, but I wouldn’t pay $50 again for chicken (the mashed potatoes and gravy that came with it were exceptional). The filet mignon was one of the best I ever had, with the texture extremely fine. The table ordered three desserts: The Lemon, La Fraise, and Vanilla Napoleon. The Lemon was prepared tableside. It is their most popular dessert, and it was very good, but a bit too tart for me. The La Fraise, also prepared tableside with the most elaborate presentation, was my wife's favorite. The strawberry ice cream was amazing. The Napoleon was actually my favorite. What was surprising, especially for the Napoleon and La Fraise, was how large the desserts were. The table of five adults could easily have been satisfied with two. I will definitely want to return.

    The food quality is unmatched. The lobster was so fresh and succulent. The service was spot-on. The desserts are so much better than other comparable steakhouses. The strawberry ice cream is a must-try. We will continue to return here every time we come to Orlando. Our only constructive feedback was regarding the dress code. Upon arrival, we were told to wait while they checked to see if they could seat us, as they said the gentlemen in our party were wearing sandals. My husband wore black leather Hermes sandals, not beach sandals. My 9 year old son and 8 year old daughter wore Birkenstock sandals. The sign at checkin says no flip flops. It doesn’t ban all sandals. And they didn’t say why only my son’s Birkenstocks were an issue but not my daughter’s. After checking with management, they determined we would be seated this time, but not to wear them in the future. This was off putting considering the dress code only mentioned flip flops, which these weren’t. If you want to ban all sandals, the dress code should mention all sandals, not just flip flops.

    It has been 15 hours since we left, and I am still on Cloud 9. Everything exceeded my expectations. It was the perfect place to celebrate our twentieth wedding anniversary. We are so incredibly grateful to the staff at the restaurant and the hotel for ensuring that it would be an unforgettable experience.

    The service was top notch! Tim was one member of our wait staff and he went above and beyond! We were there celebrating our parents birthdays. My husband and I had dined there before and we thought the Delmonico steak was amazing! Last night it was just okay - the temperature didn’t match the way we ordered it. It was a little charred and the flavor was somewhat bland. We didn’t say anything because we were having such a great time. We had the mashed potatoes, lobster Mac and cheese, wedge salads, and creamed spinach. Shareable for the four of us. The sides were delicious! We also had the oysters which were good as well. The pasta explosion was tasty but the bites were so small. Interesting dish not sure I would order it again. All in all we had a great time despite the steak. I would dine there again and I highly recommend the restaurant. Also, they remodeled the restaurant and it looks great!

    We love and frequent bull and bear everytime we’re in town, but we had a really off putting experience last night. Our original server wearing a suit, a tall and thin man working around 7:30 pm came up to my 4 year old daughter and literally took away her plate because she was lightly dragging the fork across it. He fully grabbed it from her, you could tell he felt really dignified in doing it, and his reasoning was that the “utensils would scrape the plate” as if utensils don’t touch plates when you eat or cut food? It was mind boggling. The server who took over was lovely, but we cannot stop thinking about how strange and rude the original server was. It was my wife’s birthday dinner with a party of 7, and we travel to Orlando at least 3 times a year and never skip a trip to Bull and Bear. This experience was tainted by his abhorrent (to say the least) behavior. I was too angry to pay him enough mind to get his name but he was working on 11/16.

    This is literally my go to favorite special occasion celebration restaurant. For those that know me, that says a lot because am I a total foodie who also cooks. The corn soup and the fried chicken are two of my favorites but you can't go wrong with almost anything. Pasta explosion should be shared. The new dish Paella was delicious but expensive. They just renovated and the the place is lovely. It was packed for a Wednesday night. The new chairs are the only challenge. They are literally so heavy and on the carpet you cannot move them by yourself. A fix will need to be found to free up the staff from having to extricate you from your chair. Still my favorite!!!!

    Wonderful dining experience to celebrate my husband’s birthday, Bull & Bear does not disappoint! B&B has received a beautiful refurbishment and the ambience is very welcoming and spacious, the views are also spectacular. The service is one of the best; the staff truly work as a team and we were never rushed, but it also didn’t feel as if the dinner went on for too long. This is rare in today’s dining world. Our appetizers were superb, our wine perfect and our teen even tried his first mocktail. Our one point for feedback is that my husband found the temperature of his steak and lobster off, just a bit too cold/room temperature to enjoy. We had the carving board with tomahawk, lobster and chicken for our party of 4, and while the presentation was absolutely lovely, by the time everything was plated (a good 10-15 min process), the temperature of the proteins had cooled. We prefer our steaks sizzling and this was a missed opportunity. Dessert was lovely and they treated us to a very fun and modern celebratory display of light and nitrogen effect. We look forward to coming again but would skip the table side carving perhaps.

    Too dark to see or enjoy the effort that went into the plating. The upselling by the service team was annoying. “ No I do not want a 30oz steak or a seafood tower for 2”. If you want a regular glass of water make sure you say tap. I said still and was charged $10 for my glass. Most people are there on expense account so they probably don’t care.

    I'm fortunate to say that I've been to this restaurant many times at this point. It continues to be one of the best restaurants in Orlando and a place that I go back to over and over again. It's unclear on this occasion whether the restaurant is still in the recovery process from the recent renovations. However service on this go around was lacking. Towards the end of the evening when we were ready to go our waiter disappeared. In fairness to him the night got busy so maybe he was being held hostage by another set of customers. But there was just a bit of this organization and not something we've been used to in the years coming here. The food was great. The service was a little off this go around. Will I stop coming here? Absolutely not. I'm not sure how this place doesn't have a Michelin Star. But the service is what sets them apart and this time around it was missing.
