The food was great and you got a good portion size. The server was attentive, helpful and knowledgeable.

I absolutely love this place. There is not a single thing on the menu that isn't fantastic. Rachel deserves the sun, the moon, and the stars for how amazing and attentive she was. 10/10 would recommend again!... especially if Rachel is your server! read more

Great service, great food. Highly recommend. Very family friendly. Santos made our experience top notch. Best dinner and service we've had this week!!!!! read more

This might have been the best meal I had during our vacation. For starters, our angel baby of a server ( who I cannot remember his name), was just the best. He was funny, personable and so kind. He truly made our dining experience perfect. I started with the lobster bisque and it was heaven. A must order. Their oysters were also super fresh and not fishy. The real treat was my perfectly cooked petite filet. I have no notes for it, it was heaven. I'll be dreaming about that steak until I'm back again next year. read more

The worst food experience I've had on Disney Property. Service was missing in action pretty much all night except when the food was taking so long he stop to chit chat for 4 or 5 minutes. We waited forever for water, drink refills, food and had to nearly hunt down a manager to be able to pay because after our food arrived the server was nowhere to be found for about an hour. My daughter had the petite filet and it was actually pretty good. I had the lobster roll which was very overpriced for what was essentially lettuce and tomato and only a few pieces of lobster on top. I've had much better lobster rolls from food trucks. My wife had a fish taco and also at the tuna poke starter. She liked the poke, but had one bit of the fish taco before deciding it was inedible. The view sitting on the back patio was nice, but the seating and chair were pretty uncomfortable for me at 6'2" given how long we had to sit around trying to get service. The base of the table made my legs sit uncomfortably high. But my wife and daughter are shorter and did not have an issue. I might give them another chance if I wanted steak specifically, but even then I found the prices to be higher than was warranted by the food. My wife has been once before and said her previous experience was not as bad but still wasn't great. Given the other options in Disney springs, I'm not sure we will make it back to the boathouse anytime soon. read more

Great waterfront dining with fresh seafood and steaks Had dinner at The Boathouse in Orlando and ordered the dinner rolls, Caesar salad, yellowfin tuna poke, and New York steak with fries. Everything was well-prepared and made for a satisfying meal. The dinner rolls were warm, soft, and a great way to start. The Caesar salad was fresh and crisp with a nice balance of dressing and parmesan. The yellowfin tuna poke was a standout appetizer--fresh, flavorful, and light, with high-quality tuna and well-balanced seasonings. For the main course, the New York steak was cooked okay, tender, and full of flavor. The fries were seasoned well, making a classic pairing that didn't disappoint. Service was attentive and professional throughout the meal. The staff checked in regularly and made the dining experience feel relaxed and enjoyable. The vibe is one of the best parts of dining here. Located on the waterfront at Disney Springs, the restaurant offers beautiful views, a lively atmosphere, and a polished yet approachable feel. It's a great spot for date nights, celebrations, or simply enjoying a nice meal after a day of exploring. Overall, a wonderful dining experience with good food, great service, and a fantastic location. I'd happily return on my next trip to Orlando. read more

This place had such a great atmosphere with views of the lake and live piano music. The staff/my waitress was so kind, approachable, and efficient. we had the house special oysters "lucky duxe" which ere small, sweet, and delicious!! The yellowfin tuna poke was so fresh--the mango and avocado complimented each other well--yum!!! We also really enjoyed the lobster roll w(it had chunks of lobster!) and the grilled fish tacos! I think the only dish I didn't like that much was the lobster bisque bc it had more of a tomato flavor than lobster flavor. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant to people! read more

Our group of 6 visited on 06.07.26 for a birthday dinner. 3 of us had never been. Ben was our server and he was amazing! He was very patient with us, checked on us at the right times...he really took care of us. He's a real asset to the restaurant. Decor was great and very fitting. Great recommendation on the beer. Food was great! Very tasty! My only complaint was that my steak was a little dry, but that's partly on me as I had it well done. The char was wonderful. Everyone left the restaurant very full. We did not NEED dessert, but we sure wanted the Strawberry Shortcake. That was so good! We will definitely be back. Thank you! read more

Great ambiance and food. Service was a little slow but the summer is picking up so to be expected at times. Make sure to make a reservation or you will have a long wait. We made a reservation but it is $25 per person if not canceled within 24 hours if you're unable to make the reservation. One of my friends is gluten-free, and the manager came by and made sure to address her needs and also recommended all of the gluten-free options on the menu. They were very attentive and cautious, which is super important. We had a great time and I definitely will be back again. The food was super yummy. read more

More than the amazing atmosphere, theming, and staff, the food was AMAZING! Fresh seafood that had flown in, the boil was not overly buttery and we ate every last bite. We were celebrating a few birthdays and the birthday cupcake was delicious and the same batter they make their cake out of. Can't wait to go back! read more

Visited this restaurant on our final day in Orlando for Disney World. Made a reservation in advance and glad that we did because it was very crowded in Disney Springs. On a sidenote Disney Springs is awesome, especially for the adults as there is good shopping, good food, and plenty of places to grab a drink and walk around. As for the restaurant, it was perfect weather and we were sitting outside on the dock. Food was great and our server was amazing as well. The drinks came out fast and more delicious along with the food. In addition, they also gave us a small treat for our anniversary. All in all this is definitely a place to eat at when you're at Disney Springs. Shout out to Carlos our server! read more

The score is would have been better if my friend hadn't chip his tooth on the shrimp and grits he ordered. I informed the manager of this mishap which he apologized for. But he was condescending about what happened. The manager stated that my friend already had an issue with his tooth prior to dining here. Now to the good stuff, the atmosphere and ambiance was great. We sat out on the deck which had some great views and it was a beautiful day. Next our server "Ben" was really good and he tended to all of our needs very promptly. He was nice and friendly. The food was great that my wife and I ordered. The menu had a lot of choices but i chose the steak & eggs with b'fast potatoes. My wife had the avocado toast which she said it was really tasty. We also ordered several oysters which were really fresh, it was like they pulled them from the water as we ordered. I personally had 4 fried oysters and my wife and friend had some raw oysters. Let me say that the fried oysters were some of the best I've ever had and I would definitely order these again and a lot more of them. So the food and atmosphere is definitely a 5 star but a 3 for the unprofessional comment made by one of its managers. I still highly recommend this place but get there early because this is a popular restaurant and it gets full on a hurry. read more

Beware that if you make a reservation, you will have to wait in a very long line (unless it's a slow day) to just be able to check in to your reservation! So get there well before your reservation time. I also want to give a shoutout to the staff for really being extra careful with the allergies that some of us had at the table! The manager even came by and spoke with us about the shrimp allergy specifically at the table. We made a reservation for brunch! I've never eaten here before and was excited to try it since it's one of the more popular spots in Disney Springs. I love the decor. It's giving like a high class yacht club type of vibe. We started off with some sweet cinnamon bread which was delicious then continued into our entrees. My fiancé and I also split a lobster bisque that was TO DIE FOR! My breakfast chorizo tacos were fantastic! I loved that they let me sub my scrambled eggs for over medium ones. I just love a runny yolk on my eggs. We ordered a 21 layer chocolate cake for dessert that said it serves 2, but it actually serves like 6. It's ginormous and chocolatey rich! I did ask for another mimosa during brunch but this time only with only a splash of the passion fruit (with the understanding that the cup wouldn't be filled up the whole way since it would have the same amount of champagne) or if they could make it a double mimosa (with the understanding this would be an additional cost) just because I wanted more champagne taste than juice. The waiter told me sure and then brought me back a mimosa that had even more juice than my last one had. Not sure what that was about, but I would never send a drink back unless there was something terribly wrong so I sucked it up. My fiancé's vodka pineapple wasn't the best either given how much it cost... but those are Disney prices for you! Overall food was really good, our drinks were just ok. I'd want to come back for like a fancy date night :) read more

Boathouse is quickly becoming a favorite for me, as the go-to for special occasions. They are a place where you will spend over $100 for two people but the quality is worth it. I call it "upscale but still reasonable for the experience". The theme of the restaurant is spot on if you want to have a fine dining/yacht experience. Each room is different and staff is extremely attentive. Their menu has a wide range from tacos and burgers to steak and seafood! The world is yours at The Boathouse. read more

Oh my LORDDD! Food: Salmon entree- literally said "HELL YEAH" with the first bite. Huge salmon lover here, and I loved every moment of this entree. Dreaming about it till I get it again. Grouper: Per my husband, "very good, the sauce that it was in was excellent". Truffle fries: I loved- always down for a aïoli dipping sauce, my husband felt like they were okay, which honestly worked out better for me. Large portion. Rolls: Insane, probably the least healthiest item you could consume, but truly a treat. I am not a natural bread lover and found this bread and butter combo excellent. Service & ambiance: We had a reservation and got lucky to be seated outside, right by the water edge. It was so fun and relaxing to watch the fish, boats, and birds. Service was the Disney way- quick, friendly, and efficient. read more

Food was outstanding! The chef made a spaghetti and meatballs special for my son since he is very picky and specific to what food he will eat. The crab cake was one of the best if not the best I've had. The corvina fish tacos were so yummy. A new fish I had not heard of. Service by Chantel was so great. We sat on the dock and got to see the drive up car boats. The ambiance of the restaurant inside looked nice but outside was too notch. Definitely recommend when in Orlando! read more

A friend and I were walking around Disney Springs on Sunday and decided to stop in to get a drink and a light snack. Thank goodness we did! We sat out back at the bar over the water and with the breeze it felt absolutely amazing. We were taken care of by Melina and she was lovely. I had the red sangria and my friend had the brunch bloody Mary. We also shared the duo dips and chips and it was so good. One of the dips was a typical salsa that had a very nice flavor to it, the second dip was a pimento cheese spread that had a little bit of heat to it, that after you swallowed within about 10 seconds you felt the slow burn coming and it was great! read more

Realized that my first review was 6 years ago, so wanted to provide an update. The Boathouse remains one of my favorite places to eat at Disney Springs. Oysters and the Dockside Seafood Boil with a Dirty Martini is truly the best meal. And with a Strawberry Shortcake and an Espresso Martinis is always a great idea to finish a meal. The service is always impeccable and friendly. This place with is boat themed decor is always a great stop for drinks and a meal when visiting Disney Springs. read more

Such a great experience at this restaurant!!! We stayed at disney for a week and we loved it so much that we ate here twice during our trip. our servers were exceptional. They constantly checked on us and refilled our water even through we had our own water pitcher at the table. The food, service, and the ambiance was just so great that we constantly talk about our experience even though we're back home in california. Next time we vacation in florida, this restaurant will definitely be on our list. Thank you!! read more

The wait was 30 minutes, and we sat outside by the water. I ordered a lemon drop which was delicious, and I got the warm lobster roll and fries. I loved it. Every bite was filled with lobster and it was really flavorful. My coworkers seemed to enjoy their meals as well. I'm glad I finally went and will definitely check them out again! read more

Always wanted to eat here but never willing to wait for a table. Made a reservation to celebrate our 49th wedding anniversary. Checked in about a half hour early and we were texted that our table was ready, exactly as scheduled. Server was with us quickly and took both our drink and dinner orders. Drinks were quickly delivered and or meals followed shortly thereafter. Our meals were excellent. The server was very engaging and although very busy, she took time to engage us in conversation and to wish us a Happy Anniversary. After our meal, we declined the dessert menu but the server asked us to wait as she had a present for us. A very cute cupcake was then delivered. The Boathouse is very quaint and authentically appointed. Expect that we will visit again the next time we are in the area. read more

We visited for lunch on a Thursday. We actually showed up 30 minutes before our reservation and they managed to fit us in even though the restaurant seemed packed. They were so kind and accommodating. The service was great! The waiter was there right after we got seated and came back regularly to check on us. We tried the fish tacos, firecracker shrimp, and lobster bisque. They were all delicious! The fish tacos were well seasoned, the shrimp could have used more spice but still had great flavor, and the lobster bisque wasn't overwhelmingly rich. There were so many people there which was a little overstimulating sometimes. Overall, it was a great experience! read more

Classy dinner! Removed from the overwhelming noise and kid centric options. This is the place! Boathouse is one of a few restaurants at Disney Springs where you can enjoy a meal in a thematic masterpiece without the overpacked dining rooms and generally less family filled. From the bar having a boat hoist to their being a booth that you literally sit inside of a car, the theming is not lacking... but the higher end menu offerings and longer wait times... the restaurant offers excellence. Everything on the menu is worth the bite! The fresh shucked oysters, the top of the line aged steak offerings.. we opted for the delicious truffle fries, Caesar salad, and filet mignon sliders. Yes, you may just want to load up on multiple appetizers. The bread service here is phenomenal. Immediately delivered to your table, piping hot, and DELICIOUS. Also, they do offer Disney discounts... and a free birthday surprise... for those wearing their birthday buttons. read more

$60 filet ordered medium well. Came out looking like beef jerky. (All 3 of them were cooked this way) Waiter was nice and he comped two of them, but honestly, he probably should've taken all three off. They were borderline inedible. I'm not sure how they made it past the expediter and to my table. Super disappointed. Won't ever go back there again. read more

It's not great, but it's not bad either. At the Boathouse you are paying for the Disney atmosphere which includes "dockside" dining, a handsome nautical atmosphere, and even a vintage amphicar tour on water (for an extra fee). This restaurantis popular, so we made reservations online during one of their few open slots. We were unable to make it on time and the front desk was able to change our reservation to a more desirable time without any problem. My husband and I tried the oysters and ribeye. The steak was overcooked and on the bland side. My children liked their salmon and fries which came out on in a cool vintage car container. Service seemed a little overwhelmed but friendly. This is a place I would go once, but not return again. read more

Came here for Sunday brunch with a small child. They had a buster chair that our toddler refused to use. The ambiance was wonderful since they had two live musicians who were signing and playing piano. Service was nice and attentive. They did mess up my salad order but they fixed it quickly and took it off the bill. They also had a nice non alcoholic cocktail. I had a salad with shrimp that was pretty good but not special and my husband had grouper sandwich that was good as well. Overall food was pretty decent, but very expensive for what it was. We enjoyed the experience but we do believe it was way overpriced and it's coming from someone who live in Manhattan for 7+ years. read more

I was really looking forward to trying the Boathouse as it was one of Disney Spring's most popular restaurants. I loved the ambiance and staff were friendly. The free bread was so soft and butter; it was like an elevated Hawaiian bun. I wasn't super hungry so I split the Dockside Seafood boil and the truffle fries. The Dockside Seafood Boil was a 7/10 for me. The seafood was cooked well but I think it could have used more seasoning. I love a rich and flavorful seafood boil. The truffle fries were a 8/10 for me. Really good truffle flavor and perfect fry cut. I wish they were more crispy in a way - the fry itself almost seemed to be too greasy/absorbed too much oil. Glad I tried it but I don't think it was worth the hype. read more

Went to the Boathouse for lunch. The sliders melt in your mouth and are so tasty! Also the biggest crab cake I've ever seen and their key lime pie serves two but can definitely serve like four. They also have one of the best espresso martinis I've ever had and probably the best in Disney springs. The open air dinning room along with the dockside bar are a great way to enjoy your lunch or drinks. Our waitress was awesome and very friendly and answered all our questions. Recommend having a reservation, there's always a wait. Even with a reservation there was a short wait for a table. read more

I can't here with my in-laws and family, and we had a really good time enjoying the restaurant! Although we had a reservation for 1 o'clock, we still ended up waiting additional time on a Wednesday afternoon, so be prepared to wait a little bit longer! My salmon was very tasty - and they were able to seat us on the boat per my mother in law's request!! I ordered the roasted carrots (delicious!!! 5/5, and so happy I had leftovers for tomorrows dinner) and salmon salad (4/5 - salmon was soft, and melted in my mouth!) I would definitely come here again! Actually as I was waiting in line for a disney ride the next day, another person behind me was wearing a T-shirt from the boathouse, and she said that she is from Arkansas's and she comes here often because of her annual pass, and the boathouse is her go to restaurant! read more

We came ALL THE WAY FROM CALIFORNIA FOR THIS PLACE! When you add great food, great service and a great location you get THE BOAT HOUSE.... we came here during our honeymoon and had been at Disney for four days. It was like when Tom Hanks was in Castaway, eating coconuts, and coconut juice for all those years and he finally got civilized FOOD! We had the most amazing food in Florida!!! From Christopher our amazing waiter to Scott and Daniel the managers, EVERYONE was awesome. That's to start, then you add the food. I had the salmon and she had the steak and we were both amazed at the taste and the texture. The salmon was cooked to perfection and the steak literally melted in your mouth. We ordered the extra baked potato, and it was a size of California.... the dang thing had it own zip code!! We both had the bread pudding, dessert, and several drinks which were made to perfection. You cannot go wrong by coming here with the amazing staff in the food. We will definitely be back every year and so love this place thank you Christopher, Scott and Daniel and all the staff are making this an amazing visit !! read more

Food was pretty good! Service was fine, but we had a large group that might have contributed. Recommend the Crab cake and lobster roll. Kids liked the waffles and club sandwich. Don't get the ducky drink. The gift shop sells the ducks and the drink is not delish. read more

I loved MOST of the decorations of the place. They had a Chriscraft boat that is also a table. However, head into the gift shop and there is a compass on the floor where the tiles are clearly not facing north. You can even pull up the compass to check. For being located in Disney, this lack of attention to detail surprises me and disappoints me. In the bright side, we loved our server Marcus! He was awesome. Had plenty of party tricks and jokes, elevating our time from dinner to an experience. First of all bread is AMAZING!! I think we had 4 plates between us. My personal favorite of the apps we got was the fire cracker shrimp. It had the perfect kick and was a great set up for the rest of the meal. The tuna is definitely a crowd favorite, but don't let it distract you from the rest of the menu as it's all amazing. My sister ordered the sliders and they were able to put it on the bread they gave us in the beginning! read more

The Boathouse - NY STEAK* & FRIES - Seafood Near Me - Orlando, Florida

I have eaten here a few times ... mostly at the incredibly packed bar overlooking the water in the back. This bar is loaded all the time, so expect to be elbow to elbow with other diners ... many of whom are drunk and loud. The lady sitting 8 inches next to me was coughing up a lung the while time. Almost as gross as when a seagull perched on the rafter above the bar dropped a deuce on the bar a foot or two away from our plate. I read that this restaurant has the highest number of 'covers' (tables) served in the entire United States. I believe it as there is never a time it doesn't have a line ... and inside is huge. It's crowded chaos. I cannot understand why this place is so popular. The food is good ... but not incredible ... the inside feels like a nautical cafeteria. So crowded and not intimate at all. Beyond that, it's so expensive that you practically need to mortgage your dinner. $24 cheeseburger ... $50 - $60 fish ... etc. I used to come here because the burgers were probably the best on Disney property. They were made from a special blend of beef, owned by the restaurant. Over the last few years, I am not sure if the restaurant was bought by VC or something ... but the food is now not as good. The last two times, the incredibly greasy burger didn't agree with me and I was running to find a bathroom minutes after leaving the restaurant. Maybe it's all the grease. Kind of inconvenient. I probably will come back in a few years because I do like to sit on the lake and look at the water and this has the best water views in Springs. Everyone there seems happy ... not sure if the people have never been to a real seafood restaurant before, or, if it's just a tradition. Either way, if you have a ton of cash to spend and don't mind better than average seafood ... or wating up to 30 minutes - an hour, you could do worse in Disney Springs. read more
