For some reason, my review for The Wave (this space's previous occupant) is listed on this page…read more Meaning, a new Yelp page for Steakhouse 71 was never created, the name of this business was simply updated. Odd, but I digress. I decided to dine at Steakhouse 71 for breakfast the morning I was going home. This worked out for several reasons as I had never been here before, it was in my hotel, and I didn't purchase park tickets for this day so I needed to grab food elsewhere. Steakhouse 71 is located on the first floor of the Contemporary - just off the check in desks. The restaurant is large - all of the tables are housed in a large room that's decorated mostly in a blue color scheme. I didn't love the aesthetics - they didn't give steakhouse, and the acoustics were loud which gave me the feel I was in a large food hall or cafeteria. The menu contained various breakfast items - nothing too noteworthy except for their pancakes which my server explained are seasonal. I decided on something with protein, so I went with their omelette. This included cheddar, ham, spinach, and peppers along with sides of potatoes and a biscuit. The dish was pretty good - the omelette had good integrity to hold all the ingredients, and the sides were solid. My server explained I could get the seasonal pancakes as an additional side - and since they were pumpkin spice I decided to be festive and get them. These were good, but very over the top - covered in candied nuts and cream cheese icing. Good as a side, but I can't imagine having them as my main. Service was good - everyone was friendly and attentive as I expected from Disney, and my meal came out promptly. Overall, Steakhouse 71 is fine. I'm curious what their dinner offerings are, but I'm not running back.

Of course, the BEST part, as everyone mentions, is watching the fireworks! Such a beautiful experience and atmosphere. One thing to keep in mind: they've gotten much stricter when entering the hotel.

Is there a "Florida Grill" in California's Disney Land?…read more This was our special dinner celebrating my sister in law's birthday. We live within 3 miles of each other in California, but decided to fly 2800 miles to Orlando to celebrate! We were staying and visiting Universal, but dinner here to catch the fireworks show, which did not disappoint. We had the prix fixe menu and my biggest disappointment is that the potatoes with my mussels starter were raw. Couldn't poke them with my fork and could barely cut them with my knife. They were super apologetic and did want to make things right. I had the seasonal fish (halibut) and while it was an excellent and fresh cut of fish, it was a little too bland. Overall the meal was mediocre. The service was attentive and efficient and the fireworks show was lovely. The ambiance was high energy (lots of special occasion diners but also a lot of "just rolled up out of the park in our crocs and shorts" diners as well). It was a bit too bright inside to be "fancy", but they did dim the lights when the fireworks show started.

From exceptional service to quality dining and a priceless view of Happily Ever After fireworks,…read morethis restaurant has quickly captured our hearts! Huge shoutout to Mario-both times he has gone out of his way to make our night so magical. He showed us where to watch the Electric Water Parade while we waited on a table and he let us sit and watch the fireworks with a perfect view. I'm still smiling 4 hours later. And as we observed, it wasn't just us. He stopped by so many tables to check on the guests. He's part of the reason why we love it here. They go above and beyond to ensure you have the perfect evening. Now on to the food! Brisket and Ricotta Tortelloni Parsnip, Brown Butter, Sultana Raisins The description may have you looking slightly confused, like how does raisins go with brown butter and what is the brisket doing in there.....but trust the process. It works beautifully! The tortelloni tasted like homemade pasta. Perfectly al dente. The brisket and ricotta were savory and paired nicely with the parsnip and subtle sweetness from the raisins. The brown butter brought it all together. It wasn't overly sweet or rich, it was just right, and the perfect size for an appetizer. Lobster Bisque Butter-poached Lobster, Vanilla, Coral Poured table-side, it's a beautiful dish. It's creamy and luscious. There is a decent portion of lobster meat with the slightest hint of vanilla. The consistency is silky. Not too thick or thin. Take the sourdough bread and leave nothing behind. Surf & Turf Filet Mignon, Butter-poached Lobster Tail, Chive Mashed Potatoes, Confit Carrot and Cipollini Onion, Red Onion Jam, Au Poivre Filet was perfectly seared, seasoned, tender, and cooked to my preference. The butter poached lobster is tender. Not overcooked or chewy. The chive mashed potatoes are creamy and cut the richness of the filet, while the Cipollini onion and red onion jam balance with a slight sweetness. And those confit carrots are so good. I could eat a bowl of them. Chefs kiss. Perfect from the first to last bite. Almond-crusted Cheesecake Lambert Cherry Sauce, Chantilly This is what they're known for and it's a pretty dish. The cheesecake is creamy and dense. The cherries were my favorite as they added some pop and tartness to the cheesecake. I wasn't a huge fan of the almonds, but that's more of a texture thing and a "me" problem. I'd prefer a graham cracker crust. Overall it was a good dessert. We will never go to Disney and not make this a top priority for dining. My husband and I always leave with bellies full of high quality food, smiles on our faces, and happy hearts.

We chose seats at the bar and were greeted promptly by Brian and Rowan. Because there were a lot of people and just the two of them, they were running around taking orders from tables as well as servicing the bar so it did take a little bit to get our drink orders in, but we were enjoying looking through the whiskey library anyways. I started off with a Suncreek blonde ale. It is strawberry blonde ale and it's delicious. My husband started with the Yingling. He keeps hoping they will bring the Kentucky bourbon ale back on tap again. For lunch, I got the whiskey dip which is full of chopped beef with cheese and onions. Served with an herb, dipping sauce, and your choice of side. I opted for the sweet potato waffle fries because they are delicious. My husband got a burger with fries cooked perfectly. Once we are done with our food, we did opt for a taster. My husband had to go through several different bottles before he found one they actually had in stock. That is one of the downside is the whiskey library that is online is not always reflective of what they actually have in stock as he was really looking forward to trying the old Fitzgerald birthday, but alas, they did not have it in stock. He ended up going with the jack Daniels 12 year and really enjoyed it. I opted for the widow Jane 14 year very sweet easy to drink. Great service from Bryan and Rowan always enjoy seeing them behind the bar

They assign you your seat and two bartenders work together to take your order - this was the only con as there were probably 12 of us at the bar and only two of them, so when it's your turn to order, be ready otherwise you may be waiting a bit! The best thing about eating at the bar is that you can order a la carte from the prix-fix menu and they also offer a variety of small bites as well. We had the short rib wontons and the spicy kazan roll off the bar menu- both were excellent with great flavors. For drinks the bartender made me the Blackberry sour as a mocktail and it was so delicious and fresh! My husband enjoyed the Sonoma Maple Bourbon Old Fashioned. We really loved this meal and watching the Florida sunset while we ate. You can't beat the views of Magic Kingdom from here and this is one of my favorite spots to watch the fireworks!

If you're from the northern US it's a bit strange eating this feast in the Florida heat, but lovely all the same. Cranberries, all the gravy, punch, and grownup drinks for tavern toasting. The only thing missing was outdoor privies (good) and tankard mugs (which we would've totally bought as a souvenir, alas). Our huge platter of meats (impossible meatloaf and other veggie based are the alternatives) had us stuffed. Our waiter kindly offered to bring more, but we held out for the very twenty-first century Ooey Gooey Toffee Cake. No need for pumpkin pies after that! If you're one of the lucky few who ever get to go to Disney World, a hearty, almost-Thanksgiving style meal is a great way to end the trip, and slightly more adult than dining in Fantasyland.

Give me Liberty, OR.....just give me dessert. Your choice. On second thought, we'll take both…read more We finally, finally, made it to dinner at Liberty Tree Tavern at Magic Kingdom. We had a dinner res/planned visit in November 2022 which was sidelined/greatly postponed due inclement weather produced by Hurricane Nicole. As a precaution, all dinner reservations that night after 6:00pm were cancelled (our was at 6:15pm). Thankfully, during our visit last November 2025, we were able to secure at dinner res for 6:00pm....and we hoped everything would go as planned. And rightly so, as the weather forecast was hot and sunny that day. We checked in for our dinner res about 15 minutes prior, and were able to wait in their lobby/waiting area. NOTES 1. Reservation made via the My Disney Experience App. 2. The food/menu is Thanksgiving all day everyday! It's also AYCE....with dessert included! The AYCE menu includes: 1. Declaration Salad: greens, apples, cranberries, and cheese with House-made dressing 2. Patriot's Platter: roasted turkey, pot roast, pork loin, mashed potatoes, vegetables, herbed stuffing, and mac and cheese. 3. Dessert: Oooey Gooey Toffee Cake ( vanilla toffee cake, chocolate sauce, and vanilla ice cream). 4. House-made gravy and dinner rolls. We also ordered Coke Zero for our drinks. Interestingly enough, we really enjoyed the salad, it was such a great start to the meal. We nearly finished the portion, but we absolutely wanted to save room the main dishes. The Stars (and stripes) of the meal were the turkey, pork loin, and stuffing. Honorable mention goes to the dessert! That Oooey Gooey Toffee was so good, but sadly we were so FULL by the time dessert was served. We did eat a few bites, but perhaps we should have saved more stomach space for this sweet treat. We barely touched the mac and cheese honestly. We did want to try it.....it was just ok. SERVICE Our server was a lovely older female, who was so kind and friendly to us and all the tables she was serving in our area. She had such a kind and grandmotherly attitude and aura about her. However, she sometimes forgot to bring the food and drink "refills" we requested. We probably would have had more time to enjoy our dessert if the primary food refills were given sooner. It also took a while to get the check, and we had to rush out of the restaurant to make our lightning lane reservation for Troy: Light Cycle Run. BOTTOM LINE I'm glad we finally had our long delayed meal at Liberty Tree Tavern. Was it worth the wait? I believe so. We really enjoyed the food overall. Also, I'd recommend arriving hungry or partially starving since the food is AYCE. Lastly, save room for dessert! You'll thank me later.

Crispy edges on a hand formed patty, dynamic volcano sauce that isn't as spicy as it is flavorful, and an onion jam that you'll want to add to everything!

Sweet Potato Fries - no need for ketchup.

It's located in the beautiful Wilderness Lodge which is one of Disney's deluxe resorts. Reservations are a must, and this will cost you two table service allotments on the dining plan. For a single price there are several shared appetizers and desserts as well as an entree for each guests. An alcoholic beverage is also included on the dining plan. I had the peach cocktail which was plenty strong although light on the peach flavor. The shared appetizers were decent with the mushroom bisque being the best and is served in a cute cauldron. I had the herbed chicken entree which was tasty, flavorful, and juicy. The shared desserts were also good with the warm blueberry tart being the highlight. Service was excellent, and Snow White and the dwarves visited each table. To see the queen you must wait for your "invitation," and she was in character without being too evil.
