Been to the NYC one so let's check out this one. Located inside the Waldorf Astoria, this place feels like you accidentally wandered into a private club for extremely well-fed hedge fund managers. Chandeliers and serious service. Yes, technically it's a steakhouse. But as a pescatarian, I treated the menu like a seafood scavenger hunt. I got the tuna, crudo, anything that once touched the ocean. Also, and this is critical, the French fries. You cannot walk into a place this fancy and forget the fries. That would be a personality flaw. Service is that over the top Waldorf style where someone appears instantly when you think about needing water. They are in your thoughts. read more

Just disappointing after seeing so many rave reviews and news coverage. We ordered the prime dry aged ribeyes for a splurge meal and some of their best red wines, along with mushroom and bread appetizers. The steak was ok at best. The cookery seemed good but the quality of meat did not feel good and the dry aged flavor wasn't worth it. The mushrooms too just weren't that good and felt like there was a stick of butter and oil inside. Could be due to cookery too since mushrooms need to be cooked with a bit of water during a sauté due to their water retention properties. Idk, it's still a good restaurant if you can afford it but I would never go back. At this price point, i just expected so much more. read more

I have seen this restaurant on reels so I wanted to try it for my big 50th birthday. The ambience and the staff are impeccable. The food was good but I gave 4 stars instead of 5 because while it was good quality I am not sure I would say it was the caliber you expect for a $400 meal for two was really there. The amuse-bouche was tasteless but pretty. The bread was nice. The lobster bisque did not have very much lobster in it. The Tomahawk steak for two was cooked to the correct medium rare plus temp but there is an unusual hard crust on the meat that tasted burnt. The beef tallow to pour on is a nice touch. The bacon Mac n cheese is very decadent and a little overwhelming but in small batches ok. The mashed potatoes are the star. Seriously delicious. Crème brûlée was tasty. Cocktails were made well. I am not sure if we would return only because I thought it was going to a wow factor and it was a good factor overall. read more

We came here for a birthday dinner one evening. Ambiance was luxury. Nestled inside the Waldorf Astoria Orlando, arrive a little early so you can grab a complimentary glass of Champagne in the lobby, browse the gift shop, and hangout in The Stanley Hotel-esque bar while watching some sports and waiting for your table. Inside the restaurant itself, the vibe is dark dungeon. Very low lighting, extremely plush chairs that you just sink into, and tables that are borderline too big and tall for you lean on with your elbows. It's cozy. It feels like date night. Service was also luxury. It was the service team of a restaurant chasing a Michelin Star. Multiple servers with specific jobs, all introduced themselves to us and made us feel like a valued guest. And the food all came out pretty timely. The evening had a good flow to it. As for the food, it was pretty good. We started off the evening with the Duck Foie Gras Terrine (Seasonal Accoutrement, Frisee, Vinaigrette, Truffle Salt). Our main server recommended that we get the foie gras prepared a different way, I think grilled instead of the intended way. I forget. But wow, the recommendation really hit with us. Warm, buttery, slightly charred, and paired well with the frise, the pickles, the jam it was served with. A really good app. Then we got to the reason we came here, the Bull and Bear Carving Board (Tomahawk Steak, Fried Chicken, Maine Lobster Tail, Choice of Two Sides). Our sides were Mashed Potatoes, Applewood Smoked Bacon Mac & Cheese and Creamed Corn. We did order creamed spinach, but they brought us the corn instead. What can you do. So anyway, the carving board came out, and it was presented to us as a whole, beautiful, and then the server carved it all up and plated it for us. They did the same thing with the dessert, too. And I saw them set something on sparkly fire for a nearby kid, too. Tableside antics seem to be their thing. Nice touch. As for the food on the board, that fried chicken was the best, most luxurious fried chicken I've ever had in my life. There's lore behind it. Something about a multi-day cook process, the use of sous vide, the unattaching and reattaching of the skin to increase crispiness. Whatever they did, A+, 10/10, this was the best bite of food all night. Order this however you can. The lobster was tiny and overcooked and under-seasoned. The steak was cooked to perfection, carved masterfully, and served to me with the bone on the plate for me to gnaw on. This type of steak presentation, though, you Have to nail the seasoning. Or dry age it. Or something. Cooked meat isn't enough for this price point. You need the style and the substance. Still quite the meal, though. We finished off with the aforementioned Vanilla Napoleon (Caramelized Mille Feuille, Tahitian Vanilla Bean Custard, Vanilla Crème Chantilly, Pineapple Chutney and Coquito Gelato) for dessert. Not many places have a Napoleon on the menu. This was a fun thing to experience. Crispy pastry, delicious cream, pineapple for natural sweetness. So nice. Overall, Bull & Bear attempts to hit that Michelin Star level of restaurant. I think it comes quite close. If you come here for dinner, you won't be dissatisfied, but prioritize the chicken, don't get anything with lobster involved, and maybe go after a steak with something extra, like the dry aged one on their menu. read more

Finally made it to Bulls & Bear for my birthday dinner! While it was definitely on the expensive side, the experience overall was really good. My husband's steak was a bit overcooked at first, but the staff handled it very well, they removed it from our bill and brought out a new one, which we really appreciated. The fried chicken was absolutely delicious, the bread service was amazing, and I loved the tableside Caesar salad. That was such a fun touch! The steak issue is really the only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5. read more

Pros: Ambiance was insane. First of all, getting there through the hotel lobby is glamorous and you enjoy a free champagne while you explore. Then the inside is elegant and dark and seemingly lit by candlelight. It's really beautiful. Service was just as elegant. Many different servers doing many different things for you. They did a lot of prep work tableside, which was a very nice touch. The food was pretty good. And the cutting board that we ordered was really outstanding to look at. And that fried chicken was absolutely perfect. Cons: The cutting board also had a few places for improvement. For the price and the Michelin hype, you need to serve a better lobster tail than that. Tips: I know it's hard to pass up, but pass up the cutting board and get some things a la carte that you want. Get that fried chicken, and get that foie gras. read more

Had a client/work dinner here and the experience was fabulous. We were situated in a private dining room in the back of the restaurant. There were already several Grande Seafood Towers ready for us. The Oysters and Jumbo Shrimps were fantastic. I personally just went straight for the entree rather than order a salad or soup. I got the Delmonico ($128), medium-rare. This is a 18 ounce (I'd say 16 ounce due to the bone) that was 28 days dry aged. The steak was fantastic and loved every bite. Went really well with the red wine they were pouring for the table. Speaking of drinks, their Old Fashioned were made really well. For dessert, they brought out a dish called "the Lemon" ($25), which we split one amongst the table to try. The outer shell tastes like you're eating the lemon peel, which was fascinating. Overall, delicious. read more

Alexie is one of the best bartender we ever had. No joke, she has it going on. Running the entire bar area, super busy and a fantastic bartender. Food was good but perfection with the service sometimes makes all the difference. read more

Had an amazing time here, we had the Wagyu carpaccio, the filet, creamed corn (amazing), and the Dover Sole. Once they brought out the fish they took the bone back and fried it so that it could be eaten like potato chips. While the food was all amazing, the attentiveness by the staff cannot be under stated, they were amazing! While I enjoyed my filet, I will say the tomahawk looked incredible!!! A few tables around us ordered it and I need to go back for it!!! read more

Wow. What an expensive letdown. I came here about six months ago and it was absolutely out of this world. So good that I talked it up and proudly brought some very high level guests with me this time. That decision aged like milk. Let me start with the good. The front reception was warm, friendly, and welcoming. Big smiles, great energy, and we were shown to a beautiful table. For a brief, shining moment, hope was alive. We sat down in what can only be described as a candlelit cave, and things went sideways quickly. We ordered drinks right away. Within the first couple of minutes, three different servers stopped by our table. Sounds great, right? Not really. No smiles, no welcome, no personality. Our main server looked like he'd rather be anywhere else on Earth and possibly several neighboring galaxies. If enthusiasm were a menu item, they were completely sold out. We ordered drinks "The Diet Coke"... well, that's a story with a long, dramatic arc. More on that in a moment. We had questions about the menu. Those questions were met with answers that somehow managed to be both lackluster and completely unhelpful, leaving us more confused than when we started. That confusion was then followed by "I see you're not ready to order, I'll come back," which was ironic since he was the reason we weren't ready. After the third visit to our table, we still hadn't seen the Diet Coke, but we went ahead and ordered our food anyway, hoping it might eventually surface. That's where things fully unraveled. Almost every dish was delivered to the wrong person. No exaggeration. It was like an upscale game of musical chairs, except no one knew when the music stopped. Forty minutes into the meal, the first Diet Coke finally arrived. Mind you after three request for it. Over the course of a two and a half hour dinner, we received exactly three Diet Cokes total, all only after multiple requests and a small scavenger hunt to track down a server. The mocktail we ordered never showed up at all. Credit where it's due: the water service was elite. That guy must have watched The Waterboy movie on repeat because our glasses never went dry. He clearly took hydration very seriously. At one point, what appeared to be a manager stepped in, apologized, and personally brought another Diet Coke. We appreciated the apology, though acquiring a soft drink should not feel like a survival exercise. We ordered nearly every specialty item on the menu. The tableside Caesar salad was prepared somewhere behind us, completely out of view, which was impressive considering the whole point is watching it happen. The Bull & Bear cutting board was excellent, thank God, but again carved a few feet away from the table. Same story with the Dover sole, prepared about 5 feet from our table. Not sure why it's advertised as tableside when it's more like "general vicinity side." The restaurant is extremely dark. We asked for a light, which they did bring, but it didn't help much. Nearly every table around us was using phone flashlights just to read the menu. Either this is a known issue or everyone suddenly forgot how light works. Maybe this forty something is officially aging, but I'm fairly confident restaurants should be visible to what we're eating. Now, the saving grace. The food. Every single dish from soups to salads to the pasta explosion to steak and fried chicken was phenomenal. Truly outstanding. Exactly as I remembered. The kitchen clearly knows what it's doing. We almost skipped dessert because of how frustrating the service had been, but we're glad we didn't. The peanut butter dessert was extraordinary. The lemon dessert was excellent. The strawberry shortcake, which was sadly prepared about 5 feet way, was still outstanding and easily the highlight of the night. The bill was dropped off by a different server, we paid, and never saw our main server again. Honestly, that was probably for the best. Six months ago, this place nailed it. This visit missed badly on service. If your experience starts going south, I'd strongly recommend asking for a manager immediately so you don't go through what we did. They clearly know how to get it right. They just didn't this time. Sadly, I'm not sure I'll be back anytime soon, The food was phenomenal, but feeling embarrassed for recommending it, when the service makes you feel like an inconvenience and the bill looks like it should come with an interest rate, it's hard to justify a return visit. read more

Enjoyed dining here for a special occasion. Service is great, love the ambiance especially since we got a window seat so we could watch the sunset and then fireworks! Great cocktail and wine menu Loved the option to pick our breads, recommend the Parmesan one. Caesar salad was fun to watch, but nothing spectacular in terms of flavor Filets were cooked correctly, sides were good as well. Creamed corn had a unique flavor, which we enjoyed. Ended the night with a yummy dessert - all in all good experience! read more

Easily one of the best restaurants I've ever eaten at anywhere in the world. You will find it inside of the Waldorf Astoria Orlando. Holy smokes is this place out of this world phenomenal! The service here is outstanding as there is a: Hostess Server Maître d Water guy Bread girl Food Runner All of the service people are dressed up, and really know their stuff. The $22 espresso martini was exactly on point. My sister really liked her $22 blossom drink. Next time I want to try the flaming flight of drinks. We both liked our tomato and wedge salads. Most importantly the steak was cooked perfectly and had so much flavor! We got the $140 Chateaubriand for two. We got it medium and it was cooked exactly how we like it. We also got a side of $18 mushrooms. Some of the best mushrooms I've had anywhere. Overall, we spent $287 here before tip. If you are looking for a top tier fine dining experience in Orlando, then this is your spot! read more

Pretty disappointed. I've been wanting to come here for a while and when my friend asked if I wanted to accompany her, I said of course. The service started off great and they were very attentive. After putting a starter in we were asked if we'd like to put our main entrees in and we said we weren't ready. A few minutes later someone else came and asked if we were ready. Feeling rushed at this point, we put our entrees in. Then after being rushed, an hour passed and no entrees. We asked someone walking by, who happened to be the manager, who checked and said it was being plated. For the food: Tomato Salad: Delicious. It was so fresh and I love that they make the burrata look like a tomato. Filet: I loved the charred outside, but I expected it to be tender and melt in my mouth. I had to make multiple cuts to get a piece of steak and although it looked cooked to a perfect medium rare, it was very chewy. Applewood Bacon Mac n Cheese: I really enjoyed it, but something I'd have to order again, no. I ate maybe half of my steak, so I had it packed up. The waiter switched my friend and I's steak, so instead of having half a filet, I got the one piece she had left over. This place is not cheap, so coming home and seeing that did not make me happy. read more

Every time I have been to Bull & Bear I have not been disappointed. Whether it was a intimate dinner or a company event, the staff has always been top notch and the food has always been great (although a bit pricy, but you get what you pay for!) This most recent visit, we had a group of 6 who ordered a variety of things like the escargot, fried chicken (Always taste good but I would never order it myself), Beef tartar (YUM) and I split the 18oz Tomahawk with a friend. The steak itself was awesome, perfectly cooked with a ton of flavor. We also got a side of fries and that in itself was very good and crispy. My only gripe with Bull & Bear is... the lighting. As someone who is now getting up there in age (Aka 30) I unfortunately had to use my phone light to see the menu. You guys have a great venue, let us see it! read more

The festive Holiday Haven Tea experience featured live piano music, a complimentary mimosa of your choice (cranberry, orange, or pineapple), and a beautiful assortment of savory sandwiches and desserts. The service unfolded at a relaxed, unhurried pace over roughly three hours. It was perfect for lingering and savoring every course. Tea was served by the cup, with the option to switch varieties throughout. We especially loved the chai and plum. There were some unique tea sandwiches including turkey on carrot cake! It cost $85 per person which included validated valet parking. For an upscale tea experience, we really loved it! read more

We love this restaurant. If you're looking for a high end and delicious meal you should definitely make a reservation here. The service is always fantastic and the food and drinks are delicious! We enjoyed so many amazing things. Bread service (that brioche bread is incredible), tableside Cesar salad, wedge salad, corn chowder, fried chicken, sea bass and the Yellowtail. Everything was cooked to perfection with so many flavors and the presentations at the table just add to the experience. As soon as you sit down make sure to order a lemon for dessert. You will not be disappointed. It is something I dream about until I can visit again. read more

We just had the most incredible dining experience at Bull & Bear Orlando, and it absolutely deserves the hype. From start to finish, everything was impeccably executed--from the service, to the ambiance, to every bite we ate. We ordered the Fried Chicken, which is in a league of its own. It's brined for three days, sous-vide, and then deep-fried in duck fat--a labor of love that completely shows. The skin is crispy perfection, while the meat stays unbelievably tender and juicy. It's served with creamy mashed potatoes, rich mac & cheese, and the showstopper: a foie gras gravy. Yes, you read that right. Foie. Gras. Gravy. It's indulgent in the best possible way. We also shared the Spanish Iberico Chop, which was melt-in-your-mouth tender and full of flavor. It came with a potato pavé and veal demi-glace that took the dish to another level. We added a side of asparagus with hollandaise, which brought a lovely freshness to balance all the richness. For dessert, we ordered La Fraise--a deconstructed strawberry shortcake that features liquid nitrogen strawberry ice cream prepared table-side. It's as entertaining as it is delicious. Don't leave without ordering this. Portions are generous--we ended up boxing our entrées and brought them back as midnight snacks (yes, still amazing the second time). The ambiance is elegant and serene, the service is attentive without being intrusive, and the entire experience felt like a culinary treat from beginning to end. If you're visiting Orlando and want to splurge on a meal that's both creative and comforting, Bull & Bear should be at the top of your list. read more

This is a high end dining experience. There is valet service, but we parked in the garage and walked to the restaurant. When we entered the lobby, a man graciously showed us the way. We were there a bit before 6 so we waited for it to open. We were seated quickly and immediately felt very relaxed and welcomed. We ordered the Tomahawk for two with the sauces and mushrooms on the side. They dripped beef tallow on the steak and it was rich. For dessert we had the creme brûlée. The restaurant was full, but the servers never seemed hurried. It's Florida, people were dressed every which way. We'd definitely return again. Shout out to Bree who kept us comfortable all night. read more

We visited Bull & Bear on a Sunday night to celebrate my friend's birthday. We arrived a little early and were seated immediately at our reservation time. The service here overall impressed me a lot. Everyone worked seamlessly together and spoke about the food with passion. The team there made it really easy to relax. The inside of the restaurant is very pretty. It's quiet, so you can definitely hear your companion, and the lighting is perfect. We were right by the window, and they moved the shades to keep the sun out of our eyes. This place had an incredible selection of wine. I had to lean on the team for a recommendation, and I was very happy with their recommendation. The amuse bouche was light and a lovely way to start the meal. We started with an order of fries and the beef carpaccio. On their own, each of these dishes is great, but we took the advice of one of the servers and wrapped the wagyu around the fries, and it was the most incredible experience. The fries were crispy and delicious and the wagyu melted in your mouth and shaved truffle complimented it all. Just brilliant. For mains, I got the iberico pork chop. It was cooked to perfection and the sauce was so lovely as well. It came with potatoes which were cut very thin and stacked, seasoned, and cooked. They were absolutely delicious and the texture was very unique. My companion got the escargot and gnocchi which was also excellent; the flavor balance was amazing, and it was a super decadent dish. We were both stuffed after dinner, but we couldn't resist THE LEMON! The lemon is unlike anything I've ever had. It's simultaneously rich and refreshing; really everything I would've wanted in a dessert. I'm so happy with the meal we have here. It was really worth every penny, and there's nothing else like it here in Orlando. I can't wait for another special occasion where I can go back and see what they'll be cooking up next. read more

This was a last minute reservation that we are very happy with. The food was incredible, service was great and the ambiance was perfect for our baby moon. Favorite appetizer: pasta explosion. Only wish it was a main dish because I wanted more, the 5 pieces were a tease and delicious! Pass on the colossal shrimp, nothing special. I got the sea bass, it was good but the broccolini was impeccable! My husband enjoyed his meal as well, a bit salty but he likes that. They filleted the Dover at the table, took the bones back and cooked them, then brought them back to the table to eat. Interesting. The La Fraise, the table side prepped ice cream, was a great show, ice cream wasn't bad. Would come back for The Lemon dessert, it looked great! read more

I don't think this place is worth it. It fell short in almost every aspect including service. My husband and I dined here for our 7 year anniversary and we left so disappointed. We ordered the Caesar for two which was fun to watch and we really enjoyed the conversation we had with the young gentlemen making our salad table side. The salad fell short and was lacking flavor. Unfortunately, Outback has a better Caesar salad. My husband ordered the fried chicken which was the only thing I would recommend. The gravy was incredible and the chicken was very tender. Without the sauce, it too would be bland. I ordered a steak medium and it came well done. They offered a re-fire but I opted for the gnocchi instead. It ended up taking a long time to come out so my husbands plate went cold by the time my plate finally came out. Our anniversary wasn't enjoyable since we couldn't eat together. Service didn't seem to care about the inconvenience this caused. All in all, aside from the service, I just don't think it's worth it. The chicken was good and it's worth a try but nothing else was really worth the price point. read more

This may have been one of the best meals I've ever had. From the service to the fine details to the food itself, everything was just so wonderfully done. We went for a friends birthday, and every single staff member we encountered acknowledged his special day, there was even a birthday card from the restaurant on our table when we were seated. We ordered the wagyu carpaccio and table-side Caesar salad as appetizers and we both agreed that these may have been the best carpaccio and salads we've ever eaten. Next they bring out a selection of their homemade bread and rolls served with whipped butter, I think there were six options of which I chose two. Again, best bread service ever. I wanted to try more of the bread but I decided to save room for my steak. I ordered the filet and sauce flight, my friend had the dry-aged ribeye, and we had the creamed spinach, mashed potatoes, and the loaded baked potato. Our steaks were cooked perfectly, very flavorful and tender. The sauces were phenomenal, and so were the sides. I usually cannot finish a whole steak, but it was so good that I finished it pretty quickly. We were both extremely full after dinner but the desserts looked way too good to pass up, plus it was a celebration! I ordered the creme brûlée, which was flambéed tableside and featured a layer of dark chocolate at the bottom.... I can't stop thinking about it, as it was the best I've ever had! My friend ordered the lemon, which is a whole lemon that's cooked in simple syrup; then the peel is candied to make it edible, the inside fruit is used to make lemon sorbet and lemon curd and mixed with chantilly cream and placed back into the candied peel, served with shortbread cookie....mind blown. Such a creative dessert and so amazingly delicious. Dining room is beautiful and upscale, very much a fine dining experience but not stuffy. Staff and management were all fantastic and very knowledgeable and helpful. I absolutely loved this experience. read more

After seeing such high praise, I was really surprised by how incredibly disappointing the food was, especially for the price. My husband and I shared the filet minion with the lobster tail enhancement, and they kindly split it into two servings for us. But really, neither had any flavor to them whatsoever. And the lobster was almost rubbery? We ordered the sautéed spinach, and it actually had flavor, but it was also so incredibly salty too much so (and I LOVE salt, so for me to be overwhelmed by salt is saying a lot.) The frites were also a bit on the salty side, but they were a highlight in comparison to the rest. For dessert we tried the lemon, and I thought it was the best part of the meal, it was unique and enjoyable, but it's $30 for 8 small pieces (I don't know that I'd actually want more, but if you're sharing it will be more of a tasting.) Also, while the restaurant looks nice, the acoustics make it very loud. Overall, I left the restaurant still kind of hungry because it really wasn't that good, which is not something you ever want to do after a $150+ meal. read more

This email was sent 21 days ago and still no response. Quite embarrassing My wife and I had the pleasure of dining at your restaurant this past Thursday to celebrate our 10-year wedding anniversary. We are avid food enthusiasts and often visit some of the top restaurants in town, so we were excited to experience your establishment--especially as it came highly recommended by a valued client of mine who frequents your restaurant. To begin with, I want to commend your team on certain aspects of the evening. Upon arrival, the service was outstanding, and the tableside Caesar salad was easily the best I've ever had. The mashed potatoes and gravy, as well as the frites, were also excellent, and the cocktails were equally impressive. That said, several elements of the experience fell short of the level of excellence we anticipated, particularly given the cost of the evening. I ordered the fried chicken, which was perfectly fried in texture but lacked any seasoning. Unfortunately, without proper seasoning, the highlight of the dish fell flat. My wife ordered the dry-aged New York strip, which had a similar issue--no seasoning whatsoever. While the truffle butter we ordered did help somewhat, the entrée itself did not meet expectations. Additionally, the lobster mac & cheese did not deliver on flavor or composition, tasting more like pasta baked with lobster bisque and breadcrumbs rather than a rich, decadent dish. Service, while friendly, seemed to taper off as the evening went on--our table was often left with dirty plates, and we felt somewhat overlooked after the initial warm welcome. Overall, we spent nearly $400 on this experience. While I have no issue paying for exceptional food and service, I felt the overall value was not reflective of the price. In comparison, I can name several restaurants in town that deliver a consistently elevated experience at the same or lower cost. I believe it's important to share this feedback as I had high expectations based on both the recommendation I received and the prestige of your establishment. I hope you take this in the constructive spirit intended, as I know the level of excellence your restaurant aspires to. I would be grateful to hear your perspective on this. Thank you for your time, and I appreciate your attention to my feedback. read more

What an awesome restaurant. Bull and Bear is an upscale restaurant located in the Wardolf Astoria in Orlando. From the front door to the dining table, B&B, does not dissapoint. The bartenders are fantastic. Recommendation for drinks, apps, and entrees are on point. I had the grill pork chop with scalloped potatoes and a side of asparagus. Pork chop was well seasoned with warm pink center. The scalloped potatoes was buttery and flavorful. I wish the portion was larger. The asparagus was fresh, but ok. I wish I had room for dessert. I will try dessert next visit. Check it out is in the area. Bon Apetit. read more

One of my favorite restaurant in Orlando. Amazing service and great food. We got the: Wagyu carpaccio: 8/10 delicious; would be better with some acid like capers or pickled something Half order of fries: 7/10 crunchy but the sauces were the star. Actually our server wrapped the carpaccio on a fry and we dipped it in the sauces and it was delish Ribeye: 10/10. super delicious and love the dry aged flavor! Came with bone marrow and roasted garlic which took it to another level. The cook had a slight sweetness too. Gnocchi and escargot: 10/10. Basil fed snails were so unique. Gnocchi were so pillowy and the mushroom and cream sauce complimented everything. Bread service: 9/10 various complimentary breads including brioche and seeded sourdough! Served with fresh butter yum! All I needed was a drizzle of honey and I'd be full from eating their bread. Amuse bouche: 10/10 gazpacho. Yum. Yuzu Ring: 10/10.

Over priced with snobbish server. I had the Oyster Rockefeller and Veal Oscar. Both lack flavor. Very bland veal and very little crab (only a little bit of scraps). The veal was tender at medium. But it took an hour for main to be served after appetizers. Main was on luke warm side. read more

It was hard to get a reservation on Friday Dec 27,2024. I had to go through 5 different people just to get a reservation for 2 people. The service was impeccable. The food was super fresh and amazingly delicious. We ordered the colossal shrimp appetizer and table side cesar salad. The shrimps were full of flavor and fresh and delicious. The salad was a little salty . The bread was omg out of this world. For entry we ordered the Dover Sole and veal . They took the Dover sole and deep fried the fish bone which was the best thing on the menu . The veal was super tender of course because we were eating a baby cow. The dessert was the lemon which was ridiculously expensive 30$ . read more
