Bull & Bear - Orlando (FL)

3 /5 David and Kristin Druey: They failed us. We dined there this evening to celebrate our 31st wedding anniversary and they never said a word of congratulations. Their fried chicken was good but the lamb was marginal at best. The pasta explosion and oysters Rockefeller were good but nothing exceptional. We ordered 4 cocktails which were not over-the-top for the price. We love fine dining and appreciate culinary expertise but were less than impressed this experience. This was our 3rd year to celebrate our anniversary with Bull and Bear and it will be our last. There are too many fine dining establishments in Orlando to receive less than superior service on a $300 ticket. We had much higher expectations; they failed us.

5 /5 H X: The overall quality is good. Especially the grilled pork chops are extremely delicious. I highly recommend this dish. The beef Capacio is also good. The seafood risotto and grilled snails are just average (the snail meat is too small). Even the asparagus has been peeled. What meticulous details! This is a restaurant worth exploring again.

3 /5 Leah Rutberg: 3.5/5 Bull & Bear has some clear highlights, but also some misses. The dry-aged steaks are priced like they’re gold-plated, yet the flavor doesn’t quite justify the markup. However, the basil-fed escargot gnocchi and the lobster bisque are genuinely excellent and memorable. I would return specifically for those two dishes. Dessert was uneven. The Napoleon looked impressive and the ice cream was great, but the pastry itself lacked depth of flavor and the chocolate tasted burnt. I also ended up chewing a small piece of the burnt paper used in the presentation. Overall, this place feels geared more toward tourists chasing the experience, but if you know what to order, you can still have a very good meal. I’d suggest coming for the escargot and the bisque, and skipping the steak and dessert. You’d be better off sitting by the pool having Uber eats and watching the sunset (at this November time of year). As it’s cool.

5 /5 jeremy hillberry: Exceptional food, exceptional service. Dining experience was top tier, the dining staff at every point were wonderful and friendly. Highly recommend, I couldn’t have asked for a better dinner experience.

5 /5 Saied Al: Bull and Bear delivers a polished dining experience from start to finish. The food is consistently delicious, the service is attentive and professional, and the included valet parking is a convenient touch that makes the evening seamless.
