 Located in the Waldorf Astoria Orlando hotel, Bull & Bear is exactly how you would imagine a classic steakhouse---leather seats, dark wood, and crisp white tablecloths. The menu utilizes fresh, and often local, ingredients (heirloom tomatoes, Florida seafood and blueberries were on the menu when we dined). Begin with the lobster bisque, richly flavored but light in texture, and the classic Caesar salad, which is artfully prepared tableside. Other favorite starters are creamy deviled eggs with a flourish of black truffle salt and buttery carpaccio that is served with roasted mushrooms. Steak options range from classic cuts to more interesting choices, such as the bone-in filet and the gargantuan tomahawk rib-eye for two, priced at $95. (Easily enough to feed three diners.) But don’t overlook the fish: Dover sole is occasionally on the menu, and the tender scallops with tarragon butter and lemon foam were as good as any steak. Side dishes nearly steal the show, like the macaroni and cheese studded with bacon. The menu has a little bit of everything, and includes lamb, veal and chicken. The wine list holds a match to any dish, and servers are well versed in the wine selections. Dessert might seem like overkill, but the warm Bear fruit crumble with ice milk gelato is an ideal ending---or ask for a warm cookie and a glass of milk. It’s not on the menu---just ask nicely.
