Waldorf Astoria Hotels & ResortsOctober 9, 2013
Opened in 1931, Bull & Bear Prime Steakhouse is a favorite gathering place for Manhattan's Financial and Wall Street elite. Enjoy a perfect steak and view the magnificent bronze statues behind the bar

Be sure to also make a reservation at the adjoining steakhouse: Esquire suggests the Kobe Wagyu rib-eye steak dry aged 60 days for $95, with a Waldorf salad for $17

The atmospheric Waldorf-Astoria classic is the city’s only good restaurant run by a large hotel’s food and beverage operation. Stick with steak, avoid “ocean” choices and you’ll be fine. Read more

Perfect spot to drop the corporate card and talk about business-y stuff in a business meeting. Drinks are perfectly crafted but at $21 a pop, the bill will add up quickly.

The wedge salad is excellent here. Lots of trimmings and thick bacon. A good way to start off your prime steakhouse meal.

Established 1931 as hotel bar to the relocated Waldorf=Astoria and meant to cater to Wall Street businessmen. Remodeled in 1960 as a steakhouse, but retains clubby, old-school ambience.

Whatever you do, don't make the mistake that I did: if you get the prime rib, ask for it at least medium...or be prepared to destroy the world through methane poisoning.

Bulldog Gin joins this luscious steakhouse! Enjoy the British 75 cocktail here!!

The Waldorf Salad...I'll have to admit I was a bit surprised at what the actual salad was, considering everyone has a "Waldorf Salad."

If you check in, ask if they have coupons for drinks. $80 worth of booze for $40.

Might as well be at a Capital Grille somewhere in the Midwest. Nothing particularly special about this place.

The WORST brownie I've ever tried. If you are a serious chocolate lover like me, don't waste your time tasting this.

Pretty poor service and food. Steak was Overcooked.

Terrible bartender, terrible drinks, terribly priced
Valentin S.February 15, 2013
Это конечно же старая Америка! Все на должном уровне: и кухня, и обслуживание, но ранее 60-летнего рубежа вам здесь будет не уютно)). Но для интересующихся историей этой прекрасной страны - оно самое!
