I came here for brunch on Sunday. The service was prompt and all the staff are friendly and helpful. I had the chicken and biscuit with a side salad. It tasted good though I found the chicken to be a little overcoated with crust. The salad was quite tasty and between the great service and wonderful atmosphere I would be willing to come back to try more of the menu.Side note: really nice washroom with lovely salt scrub to wash your hands with.

Fantastic event space for large or small functions with a fully equipped restaurant kitchen and staff, 2 bars and wonderful management. Whether you are looking to host an event of your own or attend one of the many the open to the public, historic Bull Mansion is well worth it.

Love the event space. I did not eat at the restraunt, but I did attend a show. Although the Mansion is huge, the show room I attended was intimate. It seems to have potential to open up to become a larger space. The details of the Bull Mansion were intricate and very authentic. The house has been kept up very well. The bathrooms are pretty and clean. Fancy! If you enjoy old architecture, you will enjoy this space.

Restaurant has amazing ambiance and is in a beautiful 1800s granite mansion with matching bar. Full bar with limited beer on tap selection. Owners explained that taps were supposed being redone with a new selection coming late fall 2018. Drank mixed drinks instead. Moscow Mules were delicious and well made with plenty of liquor.Food was creative but expensive for quantity, total quality, and presentation. Not ridiculously expensive but $20 for a $15-$17 plate. Plate was wild hen of the woods mushrooms and pasta, generally delicious.There were only handful of customers when I went. Restaurant was very quiet which allowed conversation. Staff was super responsive and food came out quickly. Staff appeared to be all owners or persons with vested interest in the restaurant. Staff made great small talk and were very engaged in providing a great restaurant experience.I would generally recommend this resturant

I had such a wonderful evening. This venue is beautiful and meticulously restored. The decor is amazing. The bar on the main floor is well stocked and the staff is very friendly. The upper levels provided ample space for dancing and mingling.I am looking forward to another event here!

Really cool event space! This place has 4 floors of fun. My boyfriend and I have been here 3 times for different themed haunted speakeasys. It is always a blast. They really know how to host an event. They have a full restaurant on the first floor, a bar and restaurant in the basement, as well as a full bar and dance floor upstairs. Pretty much any event could be hosted here with the variety of space available. Plus they have a parking lot out back to make it easier for guests to get there.

The food here is absolutely incredible; I havent tried a single thing I didnt like. It doesnt leave you feeling to heavy afterward and is unique but also crowd-pleasing. The atmosphere is lovely and their beer selection is great. The ballroom is lots of fun for music events too!

Excellent establishment. Perfect Ambiance, great location. I know downtown Worcester can have tough parking, but they have a lot with some designated spaces right next door. The food is great, and it is a fabulous place for events, parties, weddings, corporate Gatherings, Etc. The woodwork has been phenomenally well-preserved, any historic details are stunning. Not a place to miss.

Had a great meal with great service. Sat outside with perfect combination of illumination and privacy. My wife had the Cucumber Mint Cooler...a very creative and refreshing cocktail. Pricing was very reasonable. We will definitely be back again soon.

Central Regional Care Program : Parent Paint night out. Support from other parents with children with special medical needs. Jodi Russel is the coordinator. An artist taught a hall full of parents how to paint a sky ocean and sand on a canvas. It was a blast!!! Great food, conversation, support and connection to resources to make life great for your child and family. No matter the challenges life gives you, theres always someone that has been there reach out and involve yourself fully in the best of lifes supporting people. Strong parents raise strong kids.

Theres not a lot of places that Ill say this about, I love everything about the Bull Mansion! The menu is unique, kind of fancy but wont break your wallet. The service is top notch, everyone you interact with is so sweet, and attentive. In the bistro theres always some very unique music. Tonight there was some amazing jazz, last night there was a ukulele party! Theres cool events in the ball room up stairs, D js, Bands, comedians, murder mysteries, and the list goes on! Its still a hidden gem in Worcester and you have to go. You have to go often!

Beautifully restored venue. I think that this is an amazing event space for Worcester oh, that can bring in a lot of arts and culture. I would love to see more theatrical and burlesque events in this space.

The one star is for the beautiful building. Cant give zero stars so Ill say Ive given credit where credit is due.I booked Bull Mansion for my wedding on September 29 of 2018. It came to my attention after the event that the staff was given little to no direction about the event plans, and that the kitchen did not prepare or serve multiple dishes that I paid for. Both appetizers and dinner. This is a brief synopsis of the shortcomings, I dont want to write a novel. I started complaining in January of 2019 after Id gathered multiple reports from my guests and other vendors of how ridiculously unprepared the staff was. No response. I reached out again and I finally received a response in April of 2019. I am asking for my 25% deposit back. They told me they no longer work with the catering company that serviced my event, so theres no way for them to access any funds to give me my deposit back. Thats BS, because I booked Bull Mansion as my vendor. I did not sign a contract with any third parties, nor was I made aware that any third parties were working my event. I booked, signed with, and paid Bull Mansion. They present themselves as a full event package. Apparently they are now renting to new vendors/tenants, and this is their excuse as to why they arent able to give me my deposit back. I read through my contracts and nothing that I signed legally would denote that I am not entitled to a refund for not receiving products that I paid for. Ive worked in the customer service industry and in any remotely similar situation with a customer, both myself and my superiors would issue a refund.Do not book Bull Mansion for your wedding.

We went to Bull Mansion for lunch on a recent afternoon and the place is truly special - historic building with subway tile and lots of dark wood. We were quickly seated and the waiter brought over a menu which we both chose grilled romaine salads one with salmon and one with chicken - unfortunately the romaine delivery hadnt arrived that day so we made another choice - kale and spinach salad with grilled chicken and a spicy bean burger with sweet potato fries. Everything was cooked to perfection, the grilled chicken wasnt your typical white breast meat but really charred thighs, well done and very tasty. The spicy burger was good, not too spicy and the fries were cooked to perfection. We would recommend it highly.

Could have made better pasta at home. Not worth anywhere near the $18 you pay. Good location but at the price they charge the food should taste better than what I can make

Great update to the Worcester food scene. Upscale farm-to-table food and fairly-priced cocktails. The prohibition style environment adds extra value too, which a fantastic bar and function room located above the dining floor. Truly reflective of a mansion in the heart of the commonwealth.

Went here for dinner before a show after hearing great reviews but were very disappointed. It was our third time here but first for dinner. The waitress that helped us wasnt very nice, and forgot drinks we had ordered. We received our food nearly an hour after we received our appetizer. ( 2 medium rare steaks and a Soup) When we asked the waitress why the long wait times she was very rude with her answer. She later apologized. Nonetheless we had a bad experience. Great venue with live music. Good beer selection and tasty drinks. Bad service. Hopefully they can fix.

Really nice atmosphere. The food was good, the service could have been better. Things forgotten, extra charges on the bill. I would give it another try. One server on an off day could be just a fluke.

Review №32

The people who run the event side of the Bull Mansion are rude and only out to make a buck! I bought tickets for an event that was advertised as Adult 12+. Later on the event was changed to an all ages event including babies. When I found this out I requested a refund as that was not what I wanted to attend and was refused. Not only that but I was called a liar by Jim that I only noticed this a few days before the event. Why would I have seen this or thought this until I got a reminder of the event. This is the definition of bait and switch and horrible customer service! As an FYI tickets were almost $50 a piece so this was no small amount or event!

Found this place by accident stumbling around Worcester before a show. What a great find. The food was pricey but it was definitely worth it. Probably the best roasted asparagus that I have ever had. A little shallow on the beer offerings in my opinion. Had a couple of mixed drinks which were good but again... pricey. I left feeling my stomach full, my wallet mostly empty and I was totally ok with that.

Review №51

Weve eaten here 3 times now. 1st time just for a leisurely dinner with appetizers, entrée, dessert. The meal and service were great. The 2nd and 3rd times we had plans to see acts booked upstairs so we thought it would be easier to have dinner downstairs before heading upstairs for the shows. We had early reservations 5:30 and 6:00 and both times waited over an hour for the meals to come. Both times we informed the server that we had bought tickets for the show upstairs. Drink orders were mixed up or forgotten. When the food finally arrived youd think the meals would have been perfect but they were not. It seemed like they rushed it even though we waited over an hour for entrees and hadnt ordered appetizers. From now on well eat somewhere else if we are attending a show upstairs.

Review №54

Worst restaurant experience ever. Booked a table with plenty of time to eat before a show. We waited for one and a half hours for our food. The waitress only rarely showed up to tell us the food was coming (like 5 times). When we were ready to walk out she showed up with the salmon my wife ordered looking like cafeteria food that had been sitting for a long time and I got the wrong food (it didnt look good either). Two other tables around us had the same experience and left without paying. We left too without too without eating. The only good thing is they didnt charge us for the wine.Never coming back to this place!!!!

We went for ukelele night. The ambiance is fabulous! The poutine was big enough for 3 people and delicious. The hamburger was awesome. The catfish was way too salty. I wish they had a bigger menu. Prices are high but okay for the occasional night out.

Review №56

I am not a complainer by nature and will usually give a restaurant the benefit the doubt. Our visit to Bull Mansion was so bad on so many different levels that a poor review is necessary. Took my family there for mothers day brunch. Food was marginal at best: 6 items on the brunch table- bacon, sausage, ham, runny eggs, home fries, and fruit salad. Almost forgot to mention the BJs muffins. Service folks walking around like theyre on ecstasy. The worst part was the tab- $30/kid and $40/adult. $160 bill for marginal service and even worse food. So disappointing.....

I ordered a burger medium rare, it came well done, i sent it back and was completely understanding that mixups happen. They remade my burger, well done again. The 2nd screw up is not acceptable. I for one will never return here, no excuse for that. The waitress said she would hsve the nanager come by but manager never came, we finally left. Manager should find another job imo

This is the 2nd time Ive been to Bull Mansion. I honestly find it lacking, the food in my opinion isnt that great. Both times I was there for functions, so it was just appetizer foods.
