What a special moment in time when Jackson was still waiting to come out...you have opened up doors for my husband and I and for the Trackers...you are my fave foodie...yes sir.
We made reservations after seeing TT's video and watched yours as well. We absolutely loved the service and the food at the B&B. The Service was unbelievable! Such kind and knowledgeable staff, the food was remarkable. Thank you for the video
What a meal presentation. Everything is a beautiful production! My husband would love this. Lots of science going on!! A bit noisy, but it's hard to find romantic dinners anymore! Very nice!
It was noisy for sure. I have noticed that the more some people drink the louder they become. There were a couple of table like that during our dinner. I do think this is much more noticeable when filming then when actually just having a conversation at the table. It was loud but not as loud as it seems in the video ( I hope I explained the correctly ) I can honestly say the food and the presentation more then made up for the noise! Thank you for your comment!
Wow! I was impressed with the menu alone, and then we get all the way to dessert and I’m just floored. The presentation of everything here was most enjoyable to watch. So much fun, will definitely have to look into making a visit here once we relocate. Great Vlog, Chris! 🤩😊
Wow the details in everything they do. Its like a show at the same time seeing how some of the items are prepared what a special night great memories for you! Makes you want to take a cooking class & I don't really cook lol
Rhonda lockrey I love to cook but want they do is beyond that. Like using garlic that has been soaking in vanilla for weeks and Pine bud oil and basil pop rocks. Things that are just above and beyond,
Brilliant creations. I was imagining being rich enough to not work lol & hanging out in the kitchen for lessons. The staff must have extensive training amazing presentations. The price seemed quite reasonable for all that your getting.
Rhonda lockrey yes the staff are so well trained but I think that there is a real love for it as well. Our server Tim had so much knowledge that can only come from having a real passion for it. That is something I really respect.
I know I've seen this video but I Love seeing All of you at the Bull and Bear! Will you be planning a trip to Disney any time soon, Chris? Thank you from Tammy in PA
Soonkie123 it was. Just when we thought there was no way it could be any more amazing they just kept topping it. Pine cone bud oil? Come on who has even heard of such a thing or the basil crystals. Just wow.
@@TheHolyMoly Haha seriously! THAT is how you give people a dinner they will never forget. I'm sure for the price and attention to detail it makes it well worth it.
@@JessieMouse8 It was an expensive meal, but that being said the value was there for sure. I spent $85 for lunch with my daughter a couple of weeks ago. The meal was more than triple that , but was easily 100x better.
Love these videos. The first video of yours I found was your Remy dining experience. We are going to eat there on our first DCL trip in a few months! Our next adult only trip we will have to go to the Bull and Bear. Looks amazing! And yes Willie Mae's is amazing fried chicken.
Thanks Rachel. Remy in the only meal we have had that is at the same level as the Bull and Bear. The service was incredible at both but the atmosphere at Bull and Bear was so much more relaxed. The are both incredible experience. Willie Mae's in the worlds best Fried Chicken IMO.
We live in south palm beach county and my daughter goes to ucf and works at animal kingdom so i got into dusney type videos. I love these type with real experiences allot. I re wached with my sister in law and she loved it too. If you go to places it helps us see if its worth it.
Lorraine Rodriguez thanks for that. That really is my goal, it is hard to figure out what experiences are worth the $$$ . I am so glad that you enjoyed our video . Thanks again.
I LOVE this so much. 2 different aspects and I love them both. Those servers are so talented and this was so enjoyable. I wish this was available more local to me. P. S. I feel you on the pappy, I’ve had several bottles pass through my hands, but one of these days i will try it.
Thanks. It was a tricky one to film. Restaurants are really hard with the low light and the noise. Yes, that is about the 3rd time I have had a opportunity to try the pappy. One of these days Ill win the lottery.
Amazing dinner! Absolutely loved your commentary and descriptions of the food. How could you ever go anywhere else for dinner?! (I did love the Canada KETO restaurant!) Certainly seems that you should dine here with friends so you can enjoy more food items. The salad alone had my mouth watering! Oh and that LEMON!!!
Sarah Greco I think I gained 10 lbs just editing this video. 🤣 Sharing was a great strategy for sure. I make a pretty good Caesar salad but that roasted garlic they used as so good. That Lemon was just amazing, I have never had anything like it.
@@TheHolyMoly Chris - we thoroughly enjoy your food videos - both dining in and dining out. You do a fabulous job describing your foods - as if we are there with you. Loved your editing in this video!
Everyone deserves a fancy dinner once in a while and this was one of the best we have ever had. Of course sharing anything with friends always makes it even more awesome. You will love it Dana.
If I had to make a choice I would choose Willie Mae's 100% of the time. However this was an amazing fried chicken. That Chicken at Willie Mae's friend chicken is absolutely incredible, it is like magic how much flavor and texture that New Orleans Chicken has.
I have now watched this vlog twice at work. Going for a third. I am actually salivating. No joke. I could crawl right into my computer screen. I have people at the cubicles behind me straining to see the screen.
Looks SO amazing. I'm sure it was pretty expensive. How much did that dinner cost? Tim seemed to order quite a bit for everyone to sample in addition to what you and your wife ordered. Just want to prepare for when we go there. Now that my wife is a Disney Certified travel consultant, we may go there for our 20th anniversary next year. Peace
@@TheHolyMoly That is a lot, but for the service and quality of the food, I think you got your money's worth.I think we will budget for that restaurant and for the Afternoon Tea as well. Thanks for sharing. Peace
@@TheRCVlog You will love it. It really was worth it. Experiences like Tea at the Waldorf Astoria and Dinner at the Bull and Bear are rare events in life. The memories alone are worth the price.
Hemphilly Ever After Victoria and Alberts looks amazing. We had Dinner at Remy on the Disney Fantasy and from what I have seen they are very similar experiences. The Bull and Bear serves things that are just as complex and delicious but it is a lot less formal.
Mark Alan Hemphill we have not had dinner at Victoria and Alberts, But we have had dinner at Remy on the Disney Fantasy. We have watched a number of videos from Victoria and Alberts and we have talked about the experience with our friends Tim and Jenn and they are almost identical experiences in terms of food quality and service. With that being said the Bull and Bear provides the same level of food and service. Some if not all of the things we tried were incredibly complex and used ingredients that we had never experienced . The main difference is we found the Bull and Bear much more relaxed and casual vs Remy (or V&A) that is very formal. We have enjoyed both experiences. I think for price Bull and Bear is a better deal. The meal and drinks for Charmaine and I came to $300. Dinner at Victoria and Alberta with a Wine paring will cost $500 for two. That is before you choose any other addon’s.
Oh Em Gee, Chris! Your foodie cred tripled when you mentioned the fried chicken from Willie Mae's Scotch House in NOLA, what I consider to be the USA foodie capital! I have stories about this place (besides the slow service LOL) including how we would invite and treat the taxi drivers to eat lunch with us just so we would be able to get a ride back to the Quarter LOL! This was before Uber/Lyft apps existed. All I can say about your meal is WOW! A 15-minute edit could only give this vlog justice if it was in 3 parts of 15 minutes each LOL! I am well acquainted with the original Bull & Bear at the now closed W=A in NY. It was an old school steakhouse. We'd eat there only if we didn't want to leave the hotel. It was never a destination steakhouse. Our steakhouse choice in NY was always Morton's on 45th. They don't need to put a slab of butter under your steak to make it taste good like all the other steakhouses do! The favorite restaurant overall on WDW property has always been California Grill. This Bull & Bear (B&B) is a complete renewal of the NY original. I'd call it a gastro steakhouse if such a thing exists. The server was amazing. Definitely a 30%-40%+ tipping experience. He wasn't just serving your plates, and assembling them, but he added narration and backstory LOL. Though I'm not sure of the pedigree of the Kensington ketchup mentioned. I've never even heard of it in the UK. I am certain that Oysters Rockefeller originated at Antoine's in the French Quarter in the 19th Century. Maybe B&B has their own version that originated at the original NY location. I'm not sure how the veal stock belongs in a Bernaise Sauce but I doubt that gorgeous perfectly-red steak needed it. This dining experience is definitely a must do! Thank you for sharing! It was well worth the 45-minute investment of time to watch this vlog. Instead of telling the B&B server "I'll have what he's having," we should be able to ask for the Holy Moly dinner! BTW, do you recall the server's name? That was so wonderful to watch! Thanks again! I am now very hungry for dinner LOL!
That was a fantastic tip for Willie Maes in NOLA. We spent about 45 min waiting for a cab to pick us up after our last visit back in 2016. Uber was not an option. I would love to try Morton’s , our go to steak house in Calgary is Ruth’s Chris. We know the owners, or I should say the group of artists my wife represents are friends with the owner. We get a bit of royal treatment when we go there. You are absolutely correct about the sauces. I think I may have tried one or two , but the steak was perfect on its own. The only sauce we used was the Hennessy cognac for the beef tallow fries. It was spectacular. The veal stock in the Bernard was a very interesting twist of the classic sauce. It was very good, although Bernese is not one of my favourite sauces (I am not not that fond of tarragon ) that is a god point about Antoine’s and the creation of the oysters Rockefeller . I need to research that now. Thanks for this awesome comment. I also agree with you assessment of California Grill. It is the best on property restaurant at WDW by a long shot.
@@TheHolyMoly The Willie Mae's tip is crucial! My NOLA foodie holidays have always been very well planned to the point that every single meal for every day is planned before arriving. It's the only town that I do this LOL! I don't visit NOLA for Bourbon Street activities. It really is all about the food. I have my favourites and dinner is usually at a classic fine dining restaurant like Antoine's, Galatoire's, Commander's Palace, Arnaud's etc. (more so for the history). I don't care for the John Besh restaurants. I prefer the classic Creole and Cajun cuisines. Beignets and chicory au lait for breakfast at Cafe du Monde at the French Market location only. Disney's beignets do not compare whether at the Parks or onboard ship. The muffaletta from Central Grocery to keep in the hotel room fridge LOL. Lunch at Mother's. I could eat there every day! I am not a fan of Po Boys. So I cannot recommend any shops. I'd rather eat the prawns by themselves LOL. I've been eating at Morton's for many decades. It is still good but since it was bought out by a large restaurant group, I have noticed a decline. Subscribe to their emails for their specials. My friends in NY just had their $26USD NYC Restaurant Week steak lunch special! The Morton's in Orlando is near Sand Lake Road near the Trader Joe's, Whole Foods and Publix supermarkets. But I would go to Seasons 52 nearby first, and Morton's if I was in the mood for a steakhouse dinner. There is an inexpensive steakhouse near WDW, Manny's. It's okay. It's more about convenience there. Can't expect much for a $20 USD steak dinner LOL. Thanks again for posting the B&B vlog. That was a very special meal!
We have enjoyed Mothers, Cafe Du Monde and I had a couple of Muffalettas from the Central Grocery. The next time you go back I would highly recommend the Royal Oyster House on our favorite street in the French Quarter - Royal Street. Thanks again !
@@TheHolyMoly i think that was worth it for a special occasion. We never eat out fancy as i am always thinking budget ..but sometimes were going to have to enjoy the fantastic things offered.
So probably similar to yours since they maybe had more food but you had wine. I was guessing around $700 total. Looked totally worth it! Thanks for the reply!
Is it recommended for adults only? We’re going next January with a then 2.5 year old who enjoys food of all sorts and loves going to restaurants (a people-watcher like mama LOL!) Thanks for the video! -your fellow Canadian 🇨🇦
sweetie1986 I don’t think there are any restrictions. I am sure you could take your little one. There is so much going on they would enjoy seeing it all. I would call and check to be sure .
It really was amazing. You will love it, I am sure they will make your Birthday extra special. For the cost ... I am not sure how much The Trackers paid as we always get separate bills but ours came to about $300 plus tip. (Yikks! )
TheHolyMoly ha! I once almost had a heart attack when I dropped 600 dollars at Victoria and Albert’s, so that actually doesn’t sound so bad for the quality! Thanks for the great video again!
@@MyDayOff I have held off of Victoria and Albert's because of the price. We did a video on the Disney Fantasy from Remy and it is pretty much the same level of experience but with a way better view. The Cost for Remy is WAY less then Victoria and Albert's. It was only $75 pp plus what ever you add on.
Great vlog Chris, I’ve seen the Trackers vlogs on this place, love how the servers spent so much time explaining the courses. Caesar Salad from a bag will never be the same:) We have a reservation for August.
We tried them all, but we could not finish them all. I think The Tracker took the leftovers. We were staying at the Hard Rock so there was no way we could keep them in the small fridge in our room.
I’ve seen the Tracker’s videos of this place but appreciate you sharing your point of view too. Looks wonderfully stunning! 😀 🥃 Even at this price point I think I’m going to regret it if I don’t go next time I’m in Orlando.
There were a couple groups of really loud groups who may have had a bit too much to drink. Making videos in Restaurants is probably the hardest type of video to film. I have invested a new Wireless microphone system since that night, to help in future videos. If I had had my old camera it would have been way worse. At least I had a shotgun mike for this video. Sorry about that.
Thanks for inviting us to dine with you all,,,Wow this is a great restaurant and I will give it a try...we are a bit behind you all because we enjoyed Tea at the Garden at Grand Floridian...awesome fun.
Found you through Tim tracker.
You are great!
Enjoy your reviews
Awesome! Thank you very much!!!
What a special moment in time when Jackson was still waiting to come out...you have opened up doors for my husband and I and for the Trackers...you are my fave foodie...yes sir.
Holy Moly meal...one to look back and enjoy.
That was one of the best meals we have ever had.
Taking my husband here in two weeks for his birthday. Can. Not. Wait. Thanks for the great inspo!
Be sure and ask for Tim to be your server. He is amazing.
Thank you for sharing your experience. Not only did I thoroughly enjoy the video I actually learned from it. 😀
I am glad you enjoyed it. It was one of the best meals we have ever had.

d miller thanks ! It was Holy Moly for sure, it was craaaazy! 🤣
Jenn was still pregnant. Aww. I made a reservation for July based on the Trackers video. I'm glad to see you enjoyed it as well. I can't wait to go.
You are going to love it. It is truly one of the best meals we have ever had and we have had a lot of incredible meals around the world.
Just moved to Orlando. Have to check this out! Also subscribed 👍🏻

Thanks Erik. It was truly epic. Only Remy on the Disney Fantasy comes close to this level of service and quality. 10/10 on the Wow meter.

That was so relaxing! I’m sure Jackson enjoyed it too 😃. Thanks for sharing. ~Jenn

Thank you. It was a great night for sure.
It looked decadent! I hope to be able to have the experience one day! Thank you for sharing.

Great Video Chris. Your editing is getting next level also. More videos, can't wait to see what's in store next for the channel.
Thanks Chad. I have lots of ideas. Unfortunately more ideas then time. Ha ha.., thanks again for your support!

Yes we will be there this spring.
My grandpa drank manhattans so every time I see someone drinking one it reminds me of him. ☺️ thank you for making me smile.
It was my pleasure. Truly.. That was a great cocktail and an unforgettable meal. Thanks for watching and thanks for that awesome comment.

Neat how the food is prepared in front of you!
We have had Caesar Salads prepared table side but Ice Cream was a very new experience.
Curious. Which fried chicken did you enjoy the most? Native Texan blown away by Willie Mae’s! Visited recently. Was Bull and Bear better?
If I had to make a choice I would choose Willie Mae's 100% of the time. However this was an amazing fried chicken. That Chicken at Willie Mae's friend chicken is absolutely incredible, it is like magic how much flavor and texture that New Orleans Chicken has.
Would you agree that this is the best restaurant in Orlando? What is the best restaurant you have experienced in Orlando or Walt Disney World?

I don't care for the John Besh restaurants. I prefer the classic Creole and Cajun cuisines. Beignets and chicory au lait for breakfast at Cafe du Monde at the French Market location only. Disney's beignets do not compare whether at the Parks or onboard ship. The muffaletta from Central Grocery to keep in the hotel room fridge LOL. Lunch at Mother's. I could eat there every day! I am not a fan of Po Boys. So I cannot recommend any shops. I'd rather eat the prawns by themselves LOL. I've been eating at Morton's for many decades. It is still good but since it was bought out by a large restaurant group, I have noticed a decline. Subscribe to their emails for their specials. My friends in NY just had their $26USD NYC Restaurant Week steak lunch special! The Morton's in Orlando is near Sand Lake Road near the Trader Joe's, Whole Foods and Publix supermarkets. But I would go to Seasons 52 nearby first, and Morton's if I was in the mood for a steakhouse dinner. There is an inexpensive steakhouse near WDW, Manny's. It's okay. It's more about convenience there. Can't expect much for a $20 USD steak dinner LOL. Thanks again for posting the B&B vlog. That was a very special meal!
We have enjoyed Mothers, Cafe Du Monde and I had a couple of Muffalettas from the Central Grocery. The next time you go back I would highly recommend the Royal Oyster House on our favorite street in the French Quarter - Royal Street. Thanks again !
Wow! That is definitely a must do when we go back. That looked delicious. Thanks for sharing this with us.
You are welcome. It was beyond delicious. Truly one of the best meals we have ever had.
Loved the vlog as always !!!!
That looked beyond delicious !!!
I’m afraid to ask the total cost 😜
I can only guess at Tim and Jenns but it was likely very close to what our cost. That was $300 plus tip. (Yikks!)
TheHolyMoly , I guess the experience is priceless !!!
Amazing!!
@@Romy080 All great memories and experiences like this are truly priceless!
@@TheHolyMoly i think that was worth it for a special occasion. We never eat out fancy as i am always thinking budget ..but sometimes were going to have to enjoy the fantastic things offered.
Great vlog!
Kathy Dearing thanks Kathy.
I’m curious what the total cost was for that meal! Looks amazing!! Hoping to go there someday. Thanks for your amazing review and all the details.
I don’t know what Tim and Jenn’s bill was as we always get separate checks but ours came to about $300 plus tip. 😳
So probably similar to yours since they maybe had more food but you had wine. I was guessing around $700 total. Looked totally worth it! Thanks for the reply!
Jessica Schieffer no problem. Thanks for watching.
TheHolyMoly we love your descriptions and I like your love of good wines that I may never be able to afford! 🍷 ❤️ keep the great videos coming!!
Jessica Schieffer the wine was incredible. Thanks again Jessica , we really appreciate your support. 😀
Is it recommended for adults only? We’re going next January with a then 2.5 year old who enjoys food of all sorts and loves going to restaurants (a people-watcher like mama LOL!)
Thanks for the video!
-your fellow Canadian 🇨🇦
sweetie1986 I don’t think there are any restrictions. I am sure you could take your little one. There is so much going on they would enjoy seeing it all. I would call and check to be sure .
So much food 😋
Hello TiffyBell it was kind of ridicules wasn’t it. Ha ha... YOLO.
Looks so amazing! I plan to go there for my birthday this year....the real question is how much did that set you back? $$$$ 😂
It really was amazing. You will love it, I am sure they will make your Birthday extra special. For the cost ... I am not sure how much The Trackers paid as we always get separate bills but ours came to about $300 plus tip. (Yikks! )
TheHolyMoly ha! I once almost had a heart attack when I dropped 600 dollars at Victoria and Albert’s, so that actually doesn’t sound so bad for the quality! Thanks for the great video again!
@@MyDayOff I have held off of Victoria and Albert's because of the price. We did a video on the Disney Fantasy from Remy and it is pretty much the same level of experience but with a way better view. The Cost for Remy is WAY less then Victoria and Albert's. It was only $75 pp plus what ever you add on.
Oh, I see Jenn hasn't had Jackson yet...
Sue Chun this video was filmed back in November.
Great vlog Chris, I’ve seen the Trackers vlogs on this place, love how the servers spent so much time explaining the courses. Caesar Salad from a bag will never be the same:) We have a reservation for August.
You are going to love it. If you can get Tim as your server you are really in for a treat. Be sure to try The Lemon.
Did y’all try all the desserts?
We tried them all, but we could not finish them all. I think The Tracker took the leftovers. We were staying at the Hard Rock so there was no way we could keep them in the small fridge in our room.
I’ve seen the Tracker’s videos of this place but appreciate you sharing your point of view too. Looks wonderfully stunning! 😀 🥃
Even at this price point I think I’m going to regret it if I don’t go next time I’m in Orlando.
BrewCityGillz I cannot imagine going on a trip to Orlando and not going back to the Waldorf.
Good video
Thanks so much!
Trying it next week. This convinced us. Thank you! Btw, you guys clean up nicely. :-)
Ha ha... Thank you ! A T-shirt and shorts are my default outfit. But it is fun to dress up once and awhile.
7:42 Was the olive oil in a large Patrón bottle? LoL
John it does look exactly like a Patron bottle, but I think it was the actual bottle the olive oil came in from Italy.
Really loud for a fine dining establishment!
There were a couple groups of really loud groups who may have had a bit too much to drink. Making videos in Restaurants is probably the hardest type of video to film. I have invested a new Wireless microphone system since that night, to help in future videos. If I had had my old camera it would have been way worse. At least I had a shotgun mike for this video. Sorry about that.
Awesome but a bit intimidating! My vision of fine cuisine is the Cracker Barrel!
Discovering LockeNest there is nothing wrong with Cracker Barrel. We go to CB every time we are in Florida and always have. We love it.
Thanks for inviting us to dine with you all,,,Wow this is a great restaurant and I will give it a try...we are a bit behind you all because we enjoyed Tea at the Garden at Grand Floridian...awesome fun.
Oh I enjoyed Tekumi Tei at Japan Epcot...I thought it was great but, sak Tim and Jenn because they were so nice to show it to us.
Sue Chun thanks for joining us for this amazing dinner Sue. How was your tea?
Sue Chun I would very much like to eat there on a future trip.
The tea my husband said was the best meal he had at WDW...of course the sevice was great ad well.
Sue Chun I am so happy to hear that. Some day you will need to try Peacock Alley at the Waldorf for Tea. I know you will both love that as well.
Wow! Talk about food porn! I can't believe how amazing everything sounded and looked. What an experience! Thank you for sharing!
It was a truly epic experience.
