BoVine Steakhouse

I discovered Bovine Steakhouse online while looking for a place to celebrate my husband's great news, and it has quickly become a favorite. I've been back three times within two weeks, which speaks volumes about the quality of this place. The service is absolutely exceptional; I expected it to be great, but it was even better than I imagined. Luigi, the bartender, is incredibly personable and takes excellent care of guests.I've tried a variety of dishes, including the lobster roll, crab cakes, bacon, panko-fried shrimp, mini fillet, and the Brussels sprouts - all were amazing. Even the filet mignon was cooked to a perfect medium well, which is no small feat! Bovine Steakhouse is a place that draws you back time and again, and I can't recommend it enough. Imagine how great a place must be to make you return three times in such a short time.

Okay, so my second dining experience yesterday was at BoVine Steakhouse in Winter Park. I'd heard great things about them, so I was really excited to try them out. I will preface this review by saying I will try them again because I believe every restaurant deserves a second chance.I went with a group of people and we all decided to enjoy their Magical Dining menu. I do not expect much from a restaurant's Magical Dining menu anymore. I understand that inflation and other factors make it hard to provide quality meals at a lower price point. I view MD as great way to introduce myself to a restaurant I may not be aware of. I know I have several friends who have visited BoVine and had wonderful experiences, I unfortunately am not fully able to say the same.I'll start with the positives:* They have happy hour that you can enjoy from 4pm-6pm that is inclusive of appetizers and drink specials.* I love the brick decor within the restaurant and their intimately lit setting.* Staff was super helpful and friendly; especially given our party size. Gratuity was included but the servers were amazing which is why we tipped over the 18%.* Wine list was very reasonably priced for the atmosphere we were in.Here's some things I didn't necessarily enjoy:I had to ask for a new wine glass. It's hard to describe but, it tasted as if someone who had dealt with raw meat had handled my glass. I requested a different one from our server, poured another glass of wine and it was ok after that.I ordered the Caesar salad, Salmon, and Pecan pie from the MD menu.I was confused by my Caesar salad. The description listed crouton because the croutons were more like breadcrumb dust on the plate. The presentation was very nice though. I had to send back my salmon. I hated to be that girl. The salmon was fresh fish, and was cooked very well however; it tasted stale. The best way I can describe it is if someone leaves an item unsealed in the refrigerator and then they decide to cook it. My brussel sprouts were also super sweet. I am not going to hold that against the restaurant because it listed champagne agrodolce in the title but, it was a little bit sweeter than I expected it to be.One of my friends had the filet mignon, and it was not as tender as she would have liked it to be. She said it was okay.Given that my friend didn't fully recommend the steak, I got the pork chop. I can't tell you how it was because I was told it was going to take a long time to come out so, I got it to go. It then, came 10 minutes later so, I could have eaten it there since everyone was still waiting on their desserts but it's okay. Our desserts were pretty straight forward. Pecan Pie and bread pudding. Both were okay. I don't go to a steakhouse for dessert anyway.I didn't necessarily enjoy the food portion of my dining experience, but I am willing to go back and try the regular menu so I can make a well rounded decision on if I can add this restaurant to my rotation.

I enjoyed a very nice dinner at BoVine steakhouse tonight. The steak was perfectly cooked and nicely seasoned. The atmosphere was very pleasant and relaxing, while the place was busy they allow sufficient space between tables to not disturb anyone. The service was excellent with the server offering wine selections as well as food pairing suggestions.We shared a delicious cheesecake because we couldn't eat much more after the steaks. We had a great meal and would highly recommend this place. Winter Park is an awesome spot to visit.

I ordered a 6oz filet minion medium rare amazing perfect, I loved that the cook came out and asked me to cut down the middle to make sure it was just how I liked it and it was exactly how I want tender and juicy with every bite. My side was a a creamy spinach with crusted cheese came out right from the oven delicious. To top it off a well balanced Bordeaux. Desert yummy ricotta cheesecake with whipped cream and blackberries on the side. Our service young lady was exceptional smiling and pleasant and very informative. Beautiful restaurant and perfect music, when I returned to Florida-Winter Park plaza is the place to be

I've been wanting to try this restaurant each time I walk down park avenue and this one Friday evening my friend and I decided to go for it ! We went for an early dinner during happy hour so mainly the bar area was filled with people and the dining room not as much yet. I was going to get a steak but the waitress recommended the "something special" which was a 6 oz filet with chive/butter mashed potato and a fried egg on top. Sounded intriguing to me and it was so delicious! Who would have thought a fried egg on a filet would have been so tasty but it was ! My friend really liked her crab cakes and sliders. It's super traditional steakhouse looking on the inside with some modern finishes. I would definitely come back!

Holy hell, the food here is fantastic. I took a star off because the drink menu is limited and we ordered salads but they didn't come before the steak, so we had to cancel them. The Cows and Cabs event was going on during my first visit so the restaurant was empty except for the staff and one other table. Weirdly enough, the service was still really slow. Our waitress was nowhere to be found for a while and came back reaking of cigarette smoke. Otherwise, the food more than made up for the rest. The restaurnt is also decorated nicely with white tableclothes, birck walls, minimal art, and warm coppery tones throughout.

We ate dinner here a few weeks ago and everything was fantastic from the drinks to the dinner to the service. It's been three weeks and I'm still dreaming of the perfect first bite of sea bass that I had. We also shared a French onion soup, Caesar salad, filet, salt brined fries, lobster creamed corn, and a loaded mashed. Everything was glorious. Our server was attentive and gracious even though we were one of the last tables in. I know it's a steakhouse, and the steak was fantastic, but good gracious that sea bass was phenomenal.

They accept the reservation but they don't note the details of the reservation, Open Table. I made reservation for outside seating, and upon arrival, they took us to the back of the restaurant. as we were being rushed to our table, I asked my dinner guest if they had a preference to which they said no. Once seated, our server arrived, and was professional and very cordial. Unfortunately the attention to detail and follow up was not the best. I ordered the Mac & Cheese and was served the cauliflower and cheese. Once they were swapped out I wished I would have kept the cauliflower as it had more flavor. I had the filet which was quite tasty. I asked for no butter, but unfortunately that did not occur. My dinner mate had the strip and it was not top of the list. Overall not impressive food or service for the price, but has potential. I would recommend giving it a try.

Went on a Friday night around 8:00. Loved the atmosphere. It was a pretty good amount of people but not very loud, no music blaring requiring me to yell to be heard. The service I received was great. Our server was very attentive and nice. I tried the lobster roll and fries. Appropriately priced at $29 especially because fries are included. It was very buttery and good. I really enjoyed this location and will return to the other things.

This was a really nice steakhouse.They accommodated a large party with short notice on a weekend night, so that was amazing!The 12 of us had a wonderful time, some delicious steaks and great wine.The staff was very good, but the kitchen was a little slow. One of my dining companions got a gray ribeye after ordering one rare. But the newly cooked steak came out quickly.The shrimp cocktail was amazing!This is a great place for a good steak in a couple of drinks.
