Yachtsman Steakhouse features an upscale and elegant setting that immediately transports Guests to the seaside through its décor and beautiful views of the lighthouse and Crescent Lake just outside the windows. Featuring several dining areas, most of the Yachtsman Steakhouse charms Guests with rustic pine beams, subtly patterned carpeting, crisp white tablecloths, nautical details adorning the walls, and light fixtures that mimic lanterns.

One particular room at Yachtsman Steakhouse features a curved wall of windows looking out at Crescent Lake that is accented with a deep teal color, rounded windows that mimic portholes, and stately wooden beams. The ceiling in this room is the most stunning feature, and Guests can look up to find a large, lantern-themed chandelier in the center of wavy wooden accents and a series of windows that would look at home on the back of a stately vintage ship.

Yachtsman Steakhouse absolutely brings a nautical and upscale feel to its interior, and it is designed to immerse Guests in the setting of a New England-style steakhouse, complete with an in-house dry-aging room. The dinner menu features mouthwatering options including some of the freshest seafood at the Walt Disney World Resort as well as indulgent steakhouse cuts that Guests will love enjoying.

A great way to begin any meal at Yachtsman Steakhouse is by ordering up beverages for the table, and the restaurant features an extensive menu of soft drinks, coffee beverages, teas, beer, wine, and more. Those who are looking to truly indulge can also order up a specialty cocktail, scotch or cognac selection, or even an after-dinner flight with wine and scotch options.

Moving on to appetizers, Yachtsman Steakhouse features several delicious options including light starts, like the Caesar Salad with marinated white anchovies and olive oil croutons and the Steakhouse Wedge Salad with candied bacon, farmhouse eggs, radish, and smoky blue cheese vinaigrette. Guests can also enjoy rich French Onion Soup or indulgent Beef Carpaccio served with truffle aioli, Parmesan, fried capers, grilled artichoke, and smoked sea salt.

Those who are looking to begin their meal with fresh seafood options can opt for the very popular Lobster Bisque, which is creamy and thick and served with lobster biscuits, crème Fraiche, and espelette oil. The other seafood appetizer option is the classic Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail, which is poached in Old Bay seasoning and served with lemon and house-made cocktail sauce.

The butcher’s cut steaks are obviously what Yachtsman Steakhouse is most popular for, and Guests have several indulgent options to choose from for their entrees, each of which is served with one accompaniment selection such as mashed potatoes, potatoes-leek gratin, or house-made French fries. Enhancements can also be added to each butcher’s cut steak and Guests will love decadent choices like Oscar-style with Alaskan King Crab, asparagus, and Bearnaise, or olive-oil poached Half Maine Lobster.

There are four butchers cut steaks to select from at Yachtsman Steakhouse, some of which can be seen hanging in the dry-aging room when entering the restaurant. Guests can opt for the 8-oz Filet Mignon served with cognac-truffle butter, the 14-oz Roasted Prime Rib with horseradish cream and au jus, 16-oz Rib-Eye Steak accompanied by blue-cheese shallot butter, or the 12-oz New York Strip Steak with brandy-peppercorn sauce.

In addition to the butcher’s cut steaks, there are also several other land and sea entrée options at Yachtsman Steakhouse for Guests who are looking for something different. Guests who are still looking for a meat-based meal can enjoy the Dry-Aged Duroc Pork Chop with heirloom grits, charred rappini, and apple-cognac gastrique, or the Peruvian-Barbecued Chicken with colusari red rice, Brussels sprouts, fennel, and piquillo sauce.

Fresh seafood options are also available to Guests dining at Yachtsman Steakhouse, beginning with the Chef’s Catch of the Day, which rotates daily and is served with a charred tomatillo sauce, sunchokes, chorizo, pearl onions, and cilantro espuma. Also available is the delicious Seafood Cioppino which features a generous portion of shrimp, scallops, clams, mussels, Ludic Absinthe, and fregola sarda.

Yachtsman Steakhouse is a largely traditional steakhouse, but there are also certain options to meet dietary preferences or restrictions, ensuring that there is something on the menu for every Guest to enjoy. The Sweet Potato and Seasonal Mushroom Dumplings are a plant-based entrée option that are accompanied by haricot vert, petite sorrel, and soubise.

Guests who are looking to truly indulge in an over-the-top meal at Yachtsman Steakhouse can choose from two Chef’s Signature Options which are designed to be shared between two Guests. The 28-oz Porterhouse for Two comes served with cognac-truffle butter and the choice of two steakhouse sides, and is the perfect romantic meal to share while dining at Yachtsman Steakhouse for dinner.

The other Chef’s Signature Offering menu option is the ultimate seafood indulgence that two Guests can share together. The Chilled Admiral’s Tower for Two is a massive and impressive serving of Maine lobster, snow crab, tuna tartar, jumbo shrimp, mussels, scallop ceviche, and charred octopus salad.

No traditional steakhouse meal is complete without some classic sides, and Guests can order up as many as they would like to accompany their delicious butcher’s cut steaks and more. Steakhouse side selections at Yachtsman Steakhouse include Truffle Macaroni & Cheese, Roasted Seasonal Mushrooms, Creamed Spinach, Grilled Colossal Asparagus with Meyer lemon vinaigrette, House-made Truffle Fries, and Haricot Vert with Parmesan cream and crispy shallots.

After so many delicious appetizers and entrée options, Guests might find themselves completely stuffed, but Yachtsman Steakhouse also serves up some totally decadent dessert options, including one specialty item that celebrates the Walt Disney World Resort’s 50 th anniversary. Celebrating Layers of Magic features a rich chocolate cake with alternating layers of caramel and espresso mousse, chocolate chiffon with salted caramel crunch, chocolate ganache, and cassis cake and cream garnished with cocoa nib tuile and coconut-cassis sauce.

The Yachtsman Chocolate Cake is a very popular dessert option big enough for two Guests that features a chocolate decadence cake, dark chocolate mousse, mixed berry curd, peanut butter crunch, and mousse. Other dessert options at Yachtsman Steakhouse include Strawberry Shortcake, Crème Brulée with pickled local blueberries, orange, and candied Meyer lemon, and the plant-based Pineapple and Coconut Tart.

Yachtsman Steakhouse Review

Yachtsman Steakhouse is a table-service restaurant in Walt Disney World’s Yacht Club Resort. Termed as a signature restaurant, Yachtsman Steakhouse would require two credits on the Disney Dining Plan (when applicable) and has higher prices than the usual sit down spot at WDW although they do offer Annual Pass and DVC discounts. The restaurant specializes in, you guessed it, steaks and is one of the few true steakhouses on property. In this post, we’ll review the restaurant’s atmosphere, food and value.

While I’ve had the pleasure to eat at many and most of Walt Disney World’s restaurants, Yachtsman Steakhouse seemingly was the one that I kept missing one way or another. There was always another restaurant to try or money to save and then the restaurant had a long closure due to COVID before opening late this summer. With the opportunity to finally catch the white whale, this yachtsman took advantage. I’m so sorry, that will be my last nautical/yachting/Moby-Dick joke of this post.

As much as I love red meat and consider myself a good carnivore, I’m not as drawn to steakhouses as some other restaurants. I don’t think they offer as much room for imagination in their offerings and I usually like seafood just as much as most steak. A steakhouse really has to wow me for me to feel like it’s worth the price, especially relative to other fancy restaurants. Thankfully, Yachtsman Steakhouse went above and beyond my expectations.

The restaurant makes no bones about who they’re appealing to. Immediately upon entry, guests are met by the dry-aging room also known as (by me) the meat room! The room is tucked away to the left of the kitchen and seating area. It’s an impressive room filled with incredible cuts of meat.

Inside of the actual restaurant, the restaurant is themed similarly to the rest of the Yacht Club. There’s some New England style architecture and heavy nautical theming. Warm wood tones abound along with a deep turquoise giving Yachtsman Steakhouse a masculine yet inviting feel.

There are several dining rooms throughout the restaurant, all of them are pretty light and airy. I wouldn’t say the restaurant is overly decorated or trying hard for a modern aesthetic, instead Yachtsman Steakhouse knows what it is and does that well. My favorite feature of the restaurant are the beautiful windows and ceiling on the far right of the dining room. Many of the windows in that area arch out giving the look of a captain’s quarters. I like these small, understated touches that make the dining room somewhat unique.

Let’s move on the menu , where the atmosphere of the restaurant takes its cues. There’s a few different offerings on the menu but everything revolves around the steak. Writing this while hungry was an absolute mistake.

Being a signature restaurant, Yachtsman Steakhouse offers a great bread service. The onion pull apart roll is perfectly flaky and delicious. It’s served warm and matches wonderfully with the roasted garlic or Himalayan salt butter that comes with the bread service.

There’s also multigrain cherry rolls, and I liked these almost as much even if they are supposedly healthy! The cherry gave them a nice pop of flavor.

Moving on to the entrees, I ordered the 16-oz Rib-Eye Steak which comes with Blue Cheese-Shallot Butter and is served with one accompaniment selection. The Rib-Eye was cooked a perfect medium rare and was exceptionally tender. The flavor of the meat alone was delicious and the Blue Cheese-Shallot Butter added to the rich and creaminess. This was huge and extremely rich. I had next to no chance of finishing this in one sitting but it was exceptional!

We also tried the 8-oz Filet Mignon which is served with Cognac-Truffle Butter and served with one accompaniment selection. This wasn’t as gigantic as the Rib-Eye but it was just as delicious, if not more so. The meat was even more tender, to the point where I’m not sure that you needed a steak knife to cut it. I preferred the Truffle Butter to the Blue Cheese Butter, although it was even more rich. Everything about this dish melted in your mouth.

Yachtsman Steakhouse was all an exercise in how much someone could eat and that included the sides. The mashed potatoes were delicious and, I say this in praise, you could really taste the butter in them. They were very smooth and paired well with the meat.

While I liked the mashed potatoes, the potato-leek gratin blew it out of the water. What’s better than buttery potatoes? Buttery potatoes with cheese on top of them. Yes, it was another dish in the line of heavy foods but I would be happy to eat a bowl of this anytime.

Each of the steaks came with one accompaniment and the option we didn’t have was the french fries. We have had those at the next door Crew’s Cup Lounge and they are outstanding, as well.

There were several sides that you can add to your meal and we decided to go with the Roasted Seasonal Mushrooms. While I didn’t think the mushrooms quite lived up to everything else on the menu, they were fresh and delicious. They paired well with each of the steaks and I’d be interested in trying any of the other sides there.

In the name of research, dessert seemed like a necessity 😉 We ordered the Yachtsman’s Chocolate Cake and it was a good decision. Here’s what it looks like when it is cut open!

The layers are made up of Dark Chocolate Mousse, Chocolate Decadence Cake, Mixed Berry Curd, Peanut Butter Crunch and Mousse. Needless to say, this was very rich, delicious, and too much food. The menu does say it serves two and that is certainly accurate! The Mixed Berry Curd offset some of the richness of the chocolate. While maybe a little much for me, this was one of the most impressive desserts I’ve had anywhere.

I haven’t mentioned the prices here because they’re all very high and I thought I’d get the praise out of the way. All of the steaks are between the $50-$60 range with the sides under $15 and the cake at $19. While it’s a lot, I didn’t think this was out of line with real world steakhouses. The quality of the food certainly matches up to that. I do think there are more creative restaurants at Disney World where you can spend about the same amount but whether you should choose them over Yachtsman Steakhouse depends on how much you like steak.

Overall, Yachtsman Steakhouse is one of the best restaurants in Walt Disney World. While it may not be inventive or modern in its design, it’s a restaurant that has exceptional food and fits in well within the theme constraints. The only negative is the steep price although I’d consider it fair. For meat eaters, it doesn’t get much better than this.

Overall Rating – 9.5/10

Yachtsman Steakhouse Review

Yachtsman Steakhouse is the real “T-Rex Cafe” in Walt Disney World. Except instead of being themed to dinosaurs, Yachtsman Steakhouse is a restaurant for dinosaurs. Well, at least the carnivorous ones. The place should have been named “Disney’s Awesome Salute to Carnivores Restaurant (of Excellence).” Unfortunately, Disney went with the more conventional “Yachtsman Steakhouse.”

Yachtsman Steakhouse is a signature restaurant at Disney’s Yacht Club Resort. Although we both love steak, it had taken us a while to visit Yachtsman Steakhouse because we always kept putting it off in favor of other favorites. We finally decided to visit Yachtsman Steakhouse when on the Deluxe Disney Dining Plan and trying to get the most bang for our buck . The restaurant is themed to a New England steakhouse, with masculine woods and some almost-kitschy coastal accents. While the restaurant is fairly well-lit, the rich woods and nice-looking rooms give it a look of understated elegance.

There are a few other items on the menu , but Yachtsman Steakhouse’s clear specialty is steak (hence the name…although wouldn’t its specialty be a touch more clear if they went with my proposed name?). As a signature restaurant participating in the Disney Dining Plan , Yachtsman Steakhouse is a 2-credit table service restaurant, and one of the restaurants at Walt Disney World that now requires a $10 per person deposit to secure reservations. It also accepts the Tables in Wonderland card for a 20% discount .

I’ve already touched upon the decor and its kitsch, but it’s probably worth discussing a bit more (and at the front of the review, to get all negatives out of the way first). Yachtsman Steakhouse looks nice with its masculine woods and understated dining room, and the highlight is when you first walk in and see a butcher room with meats aging and, when we were there, a butcher in there actually making his cuts!

However, there are also a few random accents that make the restaurant feel as if it’s stuck in the mid-1990s. I know plenty of New England restaurants have this same “look” to them, but I think Disney could convey the theme of the restaurant without the dated paintings and wallpaper. These are just little things, and it’s difficult to point to any one element of the design that made it feel dated, but I think all of these little things are more noticeable because the dining rooms are otherwise very understated.

That said, we ate there prior to the restaurant’s August and September 2012 refurbishment, and I have not yet heard what, if anything, changed with the look of the restaurant. Hopefully this decor was freshened up during the refurbishment, and if so, Yachtsman Steakhouse would be flawless to us. (Has anyone been there since September 14, 2012? How did it look?)

Our waiter for our meal at Yachtsman Steakhouse was Ricardo, and he was flat out awesome. He was incredibly fun, yet formal and knowledgeable of the menu. How he managed to strike this balance was beyond me, but he was basically the perfect Disney server–easily one of the best we’ve ever had at Walt Disney World or Disneyland. A bit of whimsy combined with knowledge and appropriate demeanor for a nicer restaurant.

Before diving into the substance of our meal, I should preface this review with some basic information about my food preferences. On a scale of “Vegan to Velociraptor” in terms of carnivorousness, I’m approximately “Tyrannosaurus Rex,” which is a step beyond Velociraptor (see how happy I am in the photo above? I’m like a kid in a candy store when I’m at a steakhouse!). So I’m off the chart as far as my enjoyment of meat goes. I actually view vegetables as unnecessary filler that gets in the way of meat. Except potatoes, but I’ve been told countless times those are not vegetables, so I guess they get a pass. Obviously there’s some hyperbole here, but my point is that if you’re a vegan or vegetarian, it’s likely that you and I will not share similar views of Yachtsman Steakhouse.

In short, Yachtsman Steakhouse brings the A-game for steak-lovers. The meal started out with a bread basket, the highlight of which is the delicious onion bread. That onion bread plus the roasted garlic and butter is a deadly combination (for anyone you talk to later in the night). It’s also a highly, highly delicious combination. Normally we don’t like to overdo it on bread, but when Ricardo asked if we’d like another basket of bread, the answer was an unequivocal “YES!”

For appetizers, we both ordered the same fried crab appetizer, and it was incredible. Not only was the crab perfectly breaded and prepared, but the tomatoes and other garnishes were excellent!

Now, on to the glorious entrees! Sarah had the Surf ‘n’ Turf (butter-poached Maine Lobster and Prime Strip Steak), and I had the 24 oz Porterhouse.

My Porterhouse was amazing. Flavorful, perfectly marbled, and with the perfect amount of seasoning. The roasted garlic butter added a great flavor to the steak, but it wasn’t doused in this butter so heavily that it masked the steak’s own natural flavor. Those who like incredibly lean cuts might not be as big of fans of this Porterhouse (or any Porterhouse, for that matter), but I like a bit of fat for flavor. If Yachtsman Steakhouse sold post cards, I would have bought one, because that steak was something to write home about!

At $46 it was pricey even by Disney standards, but it was 24 ounces and amazing. Given that, I don’t think it was out of line compared to other steak on property, especially for the size. It was certainly better than the $66 entree I had the day before at Narcoossee’s! I would not recommend visiting Yachtsman Steakhouse with an eye towards “dining on a dime,” but the Porterhouse was definitely large enough for two people to split if you want to go that route.

Usually I try to only post one or two photos of each entree we have in these reviews, but I’m having a tough time cutting anything here, so I’ll just present this glorious tribute to the Porterhouse:

Check out our Disney Dining Index Page — Links to all of our restaurant reviews and other resources!

I may not look all that happy in this photo, but really, I’m just in the zone. Eating a steak this excellent requires dedication and concentration. No time for posed photos.

Truly the best overall steak I’ve had on Disney property. The filet mignon at Napa Rose comes close , and it’s difficult to compare two radically different cuts of meat, but I’m going to give the edge to Yachtsman Steakhouse.

As for Sarah’s meal, Sarah reported that her lobster was better than the lobster she had at Narcoossee’s . If you recall, she had a whole Maine Lobster at Narcoossee’s, so this is assessment is impressive since usually the lobster on a combo lobster/filet dish is inferior to the lobster on a dedicated “whole Maine lobster” dish. She described the lobster as tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked, and similarly really liked the steak. I tried some of her strip steak, and while it didn’t compare to my Porterhouse, it was very excellent. Tender and juicy, especially for a strip steak.

After dinner, Sarah ordered a cup of cappuccino. I’m not really sure which one, and I know almost nothing about coffee, so I can’t accurately assess it, but to my uninformed palate, it tasted delicious!

For dessert, I had the Peanut Butter and Pretzel Gianduja Cake, with salted caramel gelato and liquid ganache. This dessert was the bomb(dotcom) ! Even though it was really rich, I didn’t mind at all, because I love peanut butter and it wasn’t too large (who am I kidding, it could have been 10 times this size and I would’ve eaten it all!). The mix of flavors and textures in the cake were excellent, and I had never had caramel gelato before this–it was also quite good. At $11, it was fairly expensive for a relatively small dessert, but it tasted excellent. I probably wouldn’t have paid that much for it out of pocket, but as a Disney Dining Plan dessert, it’s a great pick.

Sarah had the Lemon Pudding Cake, which she said was pretty good. She said it was incredibly moist, and that the blueberry shake that accompanied it was also excellent. I’m not quite sure about the war paint in the middle of her plate there, but I guess that’s how New England steakhouses present their desserts. Chowder-heads! 😉

All in all, Yachtsman Steakhouse was amazing. Our meal was, essentially, a tribute to America. That meal at Yachtsman Steakhouse cemented the restaurant as one of our top Walt Disney World restaurants. Our meal surpassed Bistro de Paris by a tad to claim the #2 overall slot for best restaurants at Walt Disney World ( behind only Victoria & Albert’s ). Although there are some dated elements in the decor, that was hardly enough to ding Yachtsman Steakhouse’s score.

The next time we eat at Yachtsman Steakhouse, we definitely won’t use the Disney Dining Plan, and will skip appetizers and desserts in favor of the many steakhouse-style sides that can be ordered to accompany the steaks. We saw a few of these pass our table, and they looked excellent. Our appetizers and desserts were good, but they were expensive (especially the desserts), and I’d rather focus on steakhouse strengths when at a steakhouse. It’ll be difficult, but I’ll probably also order the Beef Wellington next time instead of the Porterhouse. The Porterhouse was absolutely amazing, but I suspect just about any cut of meat will be amazing at Yachtsman. We highly recommend Yachtsman Steakhouse to anyone who enjoys a good steak.

Overall Score: 10/10

Another request for an update now that it has re-opened again. Thanks!

Any plans to do an updated review here soon? It says you haven’t been here since 2012 yet you said it was amazing and gave it a 10/10. Hoping to see some updated thoughts on this steakhouse as well as Le Cellier as we’re trying to decided between the two for our upcoming June 2020 trip. Thanks!

I agree!! The menu has had soooo many changes since then. Would love an updated review.

Just eaten here for the third time and was a total disaster. Our waiter knew little about the menu or drinks then forgot 2 of the drinks we ordered one was Diet Coke so not too hard to remember The steaks arrived my wife said medium fillet was cold on the outside and centre one sons steak was fine he asked for fries not mash and no sauce which arrived ok My other son and I shared a porterhouse which was excellent then the problems started alll the side dishes wee cold and looked as if they were preprepared and left on one side . We complained to which we were told they would be replaced immediately Then mash and sauce arrived for our sons steak which was ordered without and arrived perfectly After we had nearly finished the porterhouse my wife’s steak arrived it was the original steak reheated as were all the side dishes which were then TrueType inedible. The manager apologised on many occasions and sent extra desserts Monod which I could eat as I am diabetic which I told the waiter originally The y did reduce the credits taken from the dining plan plan but I would have sooner had a good meal and used all the credits WE will not be revisiting soon

Hi- just curious why you wouldn’t use the Dining plan for this restaurant? This is our first time at DW, so i’m confused. Thank you

I assume he means because the dining plan specifies that you get appetizer, entree, and dessert as opposed to steak with added sides of your choice. With the dining plan, you have less control over how you spend your money at each meal.

It is by far my favorite restaurant at DW & I’ve eaten at most. Their bone marrow w/the ribeye is out of this world! I think they lace it w/crack bc I dream of this bone marrow!

We went here in 2015, this review is spot on with our experience. We are going back in 2017 and agree that we aren’t doing the dining plan. We also thought the steakhouse sides looked really good. We plan to share the porterhouse and get a few different sides to share. This is one of our must have ADRs for this next trip.

Don’t worry about the decor…it’s elegant and appropriate as you would expect. The food is exceptional! What a treat! Don’t overlook what is certainly one of Disney’s best………and one of the most outstandiing steakhouses ANYWHERE! Bravo!

I’ll be there for dinner on January 06, 2015. Thanks for the amazing review!

My hubby and I have an ADR here for the beginning of October. We are from New England so I’ve been hesitant to keep the reservation. My indecisive nature makes me want to try something new and exciting yet knows we’d love the Yachtsman. Any current thoughts on a signature restaurant for two? I’m dying to go to V&A but it’s just not in the budget this trip. Thanks!! Love your blog!

California Grill would be very nice!

New Disney World Restaurant Nears Completion After Indefinite Delay

in Disney Parks , Walt Disney World

Work is well underway on Walt Disney World’s latest addition.

Related: Big Update Confirmed for Disney’s Tower of Terror

The Walt Disney World Resort is always changing, with new rides and attractions like TRON Lightcycle / Run at Magic Kingdom and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind at EPCOT adding to the magic. It’s crucial for theme parks to evolve, and there’s no place more impressive or fun than “The Most Magical Place on Earth.”

These new expansions and additions continue to Walt Disney World’s collection of hotels, with a new location getting ready to open later this year.

Back in 2022, Disney announced that the Cake Bake Shop would be opening at Disney’s Boardwalk Resort , taking over the former ESPN Club location, which had been a staple of the Resort since 1996.

According to Disney, “This restaurant will offer both savory and dessert menus, along with afternoon tea service, in a whimsical atmosphere that complements the magic of the idyllic charm of Disney’s BoardWalk that guests know and love.

As shown in new photos from bioreconstruct (@bioreconstruct), the Cake Bake Shop by Gwendolyn Rogers is finally nearing completion.

The Cake Bake Shop at Disney’s Boardwalk Resort was originally supposed to open in 2024, but due to delays, the grand opening was pushed back indefinitely. The new location has a reopening window of 2025, but no concrete date has been set.

Disney’s Boardwalk is one of the many hotel options guests can choose from during their vacation at Walt Disney World, providing guests with “timeless charm” and a quarter-mile of unique dining and shopping opportunities. At the Boardwalk, Disney encourages guests to take a stroll along the edge of the water, play carvial-inspired games, and explore various nightlife entertainment.

Disney’s Boardwalk is just that, evoking a turn-of-the-century style boardwalk inspired by coaster cities such as Atlantic City. While not connected to the Walt Disney World Monorail or the Walt Disney World Skyliner, Disney’s Boardwalk offers guests water taxi service to and from EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

Disney’s Boardwalk joins other locations as some of the most iconic places to stay at the Walt Disney World resort, like Disney’s Polynesian Village, Disney’s Contemporary, Disney’s Grand Floridian, Disney’s Port Orleans, and Disney’s Yacht & Beach Club.
