Bull & Bear

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

A Storied Name in Orlando Fine Dining

Bull & Bear carries one of the most recognized names in American restaurant history, brought to life at the Waldorf Astoria Orlando on Bonnet Creek Resort Lane. The restaurant draws on the legacy of the original Bull & Bear at the Waldorf Astoria New York, translating that tradition of refined American dining into a Florida setting without losing the gravitas that made the name iconic.

Wine at the Center

Wine Spectator's Best of Award of Excellence — awarded in 2025 — speaks directly to the depth and curation of the wine program here. This recognition, given only to restaurants that demonstrate a serious, well-organized list with strong vintage representation across multiple regions, places Bull & Bear among a select tier of American dining destinations. It is the kind of credential that signals a kitchen and a cellar working in genuine harmony.

The American Table, Done Seriously

The cuisine is rooted in the American steakhouse tradition — the kind of cooking that prizes quality sourcing, precise preparation, and a dining room atmosphere that makes the meal feel like an occasion. At Bull & Bear, that means an environment befitting the Waldorf Astoria name: polished without being stiff, attentive without being overbearing.

For guests staying at the resort or making a dedicated trip, the combination of a celebrated wine list and serious American cooking makes Bull & Bear one of the more compelling dinner destinations in the greater Orlando area.
