Editorial Review for Bull and Bear – by Julie Mehta
The Scene
Wood paneling, decorative mirrors and burgundy leather bar stools set the scene for sophistication. Jazz music plays quietly under the tinkle of silver serving trays and murmur of the older, upscale crowd. The sides of the square-shaped mahogany bar curve invitingly toward a central pedestal topped with black statues of the famous financial prognosticators after which the bar is named. A green stock-market ticker moves along the back wall while financial types toast over tables the color of money.
The Draw
"Big martinis and great steaks," the bow tie-wearing bartender will tell you. You name the drink, they'll make it just right--but be prepared to pay. The full menu of the adjoining restaurant is available, including gourmet lunch salads featuring ingredients like yellowfin tuna and filet mignon, as well as a substantial bar menu with plenty of seafood appetizers.

My friend and I stayed at the W.A. a few weeks ago and were looking for a good steakhouse. Hands down the best steak of my life. We both had the filet mignon, 12 oz. I had a shrimp cocktail as an appetizer, that was very good too. Neither of us were offered wine or spirits, but I figured it's because we both recently turned 21 and still look young. We're not big wine drinkers anyway so it wasn't a big deal. I really have to stress how good the filet was. I honestly don't think I could find something like it anywhere else. After eating there I was looking at the website a few days later, and I read that their beef is the only beef on the East Coast that is dry-aged 28 days, or something to that effect. Maybe that's why it was so amazing. Go there. Expect 75-100 per person if you order sides, more if alcohol is involved. As some people here have already stated, the staff weren't anything special. That said, I plan to go back there again and again regardless because of how good the food was.
Pros: Best steak I've ever had
Cons: Mediocre service

Have had several dinners and lunches here. The service is attentive,couteous and prompt without being overbearing. The steaks are excellent. Lunch salads and sandwichws are also consistantly good, thougha bit pricey-even for mid town Manhattan. Check out the bar after wall street closes! More business going on over scotch than in Glasgow!
Pros: service and the bar
Cons: pricey lunch
