Very happy with this place. I didn't know what to expect with several strikeouts at other restaurants in the complex, but Bull & Bear puts some hope that there's still good food to be found here. Service was slow to start, but picked up as the night went on. Food was properly paced and delicious. The fried chicken had a surprising wow factor to it and you can't match their desserts. Wine list was also exceptional although the upcharge was real. We really enjoyed the atmosphere and vibes, what a good spot.

The Bull & Bear is a true 5-Star steakhouse experience. Professional service in a nice atmosphere with delicious food. We enjoyed an excellent filet, and the fresh Dover Sole was memorable. Great salads to start. This is not an inexpensive option, but if one wishes to splurge in the Orlando area, it’s an excellent choice.

Bull & Bear at the Waldorf Astoria Orlando is the pinnacle of fine dining. The sweet corn soup sets the tone with its silky texture and vibrant, rich flavor—a perfect prelude to what’s to come. While the dry-aged tomahawk is a showstopper with its tender, flavorful perfection, the Chateaubriand deserves its own spotlight. Served tableside, the Chateaubriand is an experience in itself. Perfectly cooked, impossibly tender, and bursting with flavor, it’s a dish that exemplifies the artistry of Bull & Bear’s culinary team. Adding to the magic is the staff. Attentive and intuitive, they anticipate your every need and guide you seamlessly through the evening. With its elegant ambiance, exceptional service, and unforgettable dishes, Bull & Bear is a must-visit!

Oh my! By far the best dining in Orlando! My husband and I celebrated our anniversary and his birthday. Our table was decorated in rose petals with cards and everyone who came by wished us well! Everything we had was immaculate: smoked old fashioned, table side Caesar, Dover sole, wagyu, and the chocolate pb dessert. And amazing service by everyone!!!

Bull and Bear is a must visit for fine dining. It was my birthday and they truly made it more than special. The food and the entire experience were outstanding. The prices are quite high but worth every penny, it is an experience. The table side Caesar salad is not only enjoyable to watch being created but absolutely delicious. The escargot gnocchi was delectable, and the steaks are perfectly prepared. For dessert, I highly recommend the table side strawberry shortcake. Very fun presentation. Do plan ahead as reservations do fill up!

Bull and Bear, a fine dining eatery in Orlando in the Waldorf Astoria, is one of the best places to go for your special occasion. A reservation is recommended. My husband and I have been here on both of our birthdays and both times have been exceptional. Dress up, have some wine and share memories. The wait staff are a team and are super efficient, maybe a bit too efficient but I cannot complain. I think it is true that maybe this economy we can't always afford this, but if you truly want to have something elevated, save up and go here at least once a year and you won't regret it.

Last night, we dined at the Bull & Bear in the Waldorf Astoria in Orlando, Florida, and it was hands down some of the best food and service we’ve ever experienced. I was initially hesitant about ordering the double Iberico pork chop, but when I saw at least four others being served, I knew I’d made the right choice. Raised on acorns, this Spanish pork is often compared to the wagyu of pigs, and it certainly lived up to the reputation. The Dover sole was expertly deboned at the table—a true showstopper. An unforgettable meal.

The food was amazing and well made. The sea bass tastes awesome. Salad is arranged beautifully. All dishes are expensive. The only thing we felt bad about was the service. There was space to improve.
