    Bill & Bear never disappoints but I think they’ve taken it up a notch! This time we went to celebrate our Anniversary. They decorated our table beautifully! The pasta explosion is hands down the best appetizer we’ve ever had! Food and service was beyond our expectations! It’s unbelievable that they don’t have a Michelin star yet. Bravo to the chef and wait staff for providing an amazing experience!

    The meal was delicious. We enjoyed the prepared at your table Caesar salad and the carved at your table perfectly cooked rare Chateaubriand. The sommelier was well schooled on the various wines available. One downside was the service which was herky jerky and inconsistent. My spouse waited nearly 20 minutes for a glass of wine he ordered prior to our meal,

    It was our first time eating at Bull & Bear. The service exceed our expectations, very warm welcome as soon as you enter the door. We had a few servers came right the way taking our drink orders. We had Jeff took our main order, Philip served us the most delicious bread. The raw oysters were so fresh and sweet, the foie fra was one of the best I had, the escargot and gnocchi was awesome. Although the Iberico pork chop was really salty but they replaced it with great care and tasty one. Even all the servers came by apologized for the food did not meet up with my expectations. And the assistant manager Antoine offered us the complementary desert but we were just simply too full !!! I recommend this place and definitely come back again !

    My husband loves steak and this is his favorite steakhouse. I have never been a fan, until finally this time. I did a bit more research because prior visits I wasn't that impressed with the food but this night I went with their special dover sole as my entree, we tried the pasta explosion as an appetizer and sides were their mushrooms and creamed spinach. We also tried their lemon dessert. Everything was amazing. Their wine and drinks were on point as well and I can't say enough about the wait staff we had. Truly top notch and made for a great birthday celebration for my husband. I will definitely return for another date night.

    Superb all around. I don’t have time right now to write a lengthy review, but if you come to Bull & Bear you have to get two things: the fried chicken and the lemon. Don’t ask questions, unless it’s to your server, in which case they will confirm my recommendations.

    Love B&B…come every year when visiting FL. Sample many things and split them. Corn soup, asparagus, ribeye, fried chicken and tomahawk are amazing. Try the Mary Pickford, yum! Jeff and Toni you both rock and we look forward to seeing you again next time. Can’t believe you remembered us from last year. Superb and amazing service and food.

    One of the best meals we have ever had. Truffle Deviled Eggs, Tableside Caesar Salad for two, Chateaubriand for two, and then incredible desserts of flaming crème Brule with chocolate and an truly unique lemon that was essentially a deconstrucked lemon meringue pie. Incredible. The wine was fantastic as was the service too. Great dinner!

    My wife and decided to eat at Bull & Bear for our 15th wedding Anniversary. First off, our server, Kelly, was phenomenal and gave us incredible, attentive, and friendly service. The ambiance was great as well. However, where it fell short for us was the food. We had the Corn soup, Fried Chicken, and Chateaubriand. The soup was excellent. The fried chicken was good. But the Chateaubriand was completely over cooked. We have eaten at many of the top ranked steakhouses across the country and always look forward to a great steak. When we ordered the $130 Chateaubriand medium rare, we fully expected it to come Medium rare. When it came and was carved it was medium well though. We had a late reservation and we were starving so rather than send it back and wait, we just powered through the dry, overcooked chateaubriand. I understand these things happen but in all honesty, they really shouldn’t at a renowned restaurant such as Bull & Bear. I’m sure if it was cooked correctly it would have been fantastic, but unfortunately that wasn’t the case.

    Overall great dinning experience, especially if you’re looking for something more intimate or for a special occasion. Both food and drinks were Great and worth the price. Having the menus on the iPads made for a really fun and innovative way to view each menu item in detail with ingredients, pictures and recommendations. Became extremely useful when trying new dishes and wine. Would highly recommend trying the restaurant if you’re looking for something slightly higher end than your typical steakhouse.

    We've been to Bull & Bear a few times now, and the food is always excellent. Unfortunately, the service this time was disappointing. I'm not sure if the restaurant is short-staffed, but from start to finish we were there for close to three hours. This includes us simply ordering entrees and dessert (no appetizer, coffee, etc.).
