Reservation at 8pm pre Valentine. Was advised they were running a little behind by about 10-15mins. Walked around a bit and returned just in time for our table. Service was a little slow to start. Waited over 10mins before our server arrived to take our drinks. Bread was delicious with the roasted garlic spread. Pork belly was very soft and packed with deliciousness. We ordered the Bone in Ribeye, three sides which included creamed spinach, mushrooms and fries. Fries could've used some more salt and ribeye was lacking flavor but cooked to perfection. read more

So when you go to a Disney World restaurant expect that you'll be paying for a high end meal but end up with a average one at best. Disney is not selling Michelin, they're selling Disney. So if you do that you can't be disappointed and yet I was. The dinning area we were placed in was very nice but the table for four would probably have been better for two. The dinning area was pretty covered by tables and diners proving the staff to be extremely skilled in their service. Our challenge was that between two glasses (water and soda), an entree plate, light in the center of the table and two vegetable plates to be shared, it was cramped and a culinary obstacle course. So I got the preliminarily experience out of that way let's move on to the meals. Only two appetizers were ordered, the Lobster Bisque which was presented very well but was a bit underwhelming. Then there was the Pork Belly. Now pork bellly, when executed correctly, should just melt in your mouth. The joy of the pork belly if the rendered fat and tender meat. NEITHER existed with this fish. Where the Lobster Bisque was underwhelming, the Pork Belly was a criminal offense. The table ordered one Filet Mignon, one New York Strip and two Bone-in Ribeyes. The Filet was a good piece of meat, and cooked perfectly to a medium. The New York Strip and Bone-in Ribeyes were not close to the quality of the pricing. These were priced like Capital Grille and delivered more like a Texas Roadhouse without the execution. My ribeye was accompanied by a crab cake on top. Yes it had crab on it, but that cake was all shape and nothing else. Don't get me wrong, I prefer my crab cakes aren't mostly filler, but I also expect a little effort in creating a dining experience. The entrees were served with either mashed potatoes, flavorless or scalloped potatoes. The scalloped potatoes were one of the two best tings about this meal. Enough so my wife gave up on her mashed potatoes and told k over my scalloped potatoes and asparagus. There were also two sides ordered, creamed spinach which, here we go again, was underwhelming and the second star of the night, the brussel sprouts. Best flavor of the evening hands down. These were excellent. The meal was finished off with chocolate cake that was fine. Overall I gave this restaurant 2 stars and would never go back. The experience was not worth the almost $500 cost that included a $100 tip (with no alcoholic beverages ordered). Definitely not when there are some AMAZING steakhouses in the area both chain and local that will deliver excellent aged cuts of beef. My personal favorite is F&D Prime Modern Steakhouse in Lake Mary, but I also think STK in Disney Springs delivers a much better culinary experience at the same if not slightly higher costs. So the only question I have for such a disappointing experience is, is it laziness, cost control or just a rush to deliver servings that led the such a blah dinner? Or maybe it's Disney arrogance that their visitors will pay anything just to say I did it? Neither is good and pride should matter which here it clearly didn't. read more

Wanted steak after a successful Epcot outing and decided to try yachtsman as its walking distance as it connects from the boardwalk. Restaurant needs better ambiance, it's a little loud and feels outdated. Service was impeccable waitress was nice and personable. Food was delicious! Depending on what you order portions are big. Bread service was ok wasn't blown away and came out a bit delayed. Highlight tho was they gave you fresh roasted garlic to spread on the bread in addition to butter. The filet came with mash potatoes that were smooth and buttery. Steak was well cooked and has a nice sauce. Steak melted in your mouth for sure Truffle Mac and cheese was good but a little salty. Truffle fries were limp prolly wouldn't order again. read more

The atmosphere of the restaurant is great; the dining room is clean and the table are set up nicely. Service was good but the food was just ok. I stopped in for a few bites and tried the beef carpaccio, which I would recommend, and the wedge salad which was completely drenched in blue cheese dressing and could not be enjoyed. I tried a lemon dessert pie that was ok too. read more

The Yachtsman has been our "to-go" list for a while now and I'm very happy we finally made it here. This restaurant offers an amazing selection of meats, wine, and more. Our waitress was polite and warm which made our experience relaxing as we were out and about at parks all day - this was much needed. Great experience and we will definitely be dining here again(: read more

Had a very nice meal with outstanding service. Our server, Victoria was awesome. We went there for my birthday and was treated wonderfully. My steak was well prepared. We split a chocolate cappuccino cake which was also delicious. Nice restaurant being refurbished soon. Nice experience. Would probably give it a 4.5, but that's not available. Value proposition keeps me from giving it a 5. read more

The best steakhouse. The prime rib eye was the best steak I've had at any restaurant - the 22 oz size could feed 3 people. They brought out appetizers and a box of chocolates on the house. Amazing service. read more

Amazing experience all around. The ambiance was beautiful, so was the decor and style of the restaurant. All of the food we had was amazing, including all of the sides.

Yachtsman was excellent from start to finish. from the minute you walk in the presentation of the steaks and desserts along with the walk by the front of the kitchen was amazing. highly recommended you request "Lee" as your server. i hope i got her name correct because she was excellent. the bread with garlic and butter were some of the best ever! for dishes, highly recommend the "Short rib" and probably any steak on the menu your going to love. decor is beautiful and great location for a family gathering. one of my favorite location in Disney. read more

Celebrated our 3rd anniversary at the Yachtsman Steakhouse, and we're so happy we chose here! It was a bit crowded when we got there, but we were seated at a very nice and quiet table for 2. We started with sharing the lobster bisque and wedge salad with smoky blue cheese dressing. The salad was amazing and the lobster bisque was liquid gold! The lobster bisque is a must try, and seriously was the best I've ever had. We shared the 22 oz ribeye, sauce flight, mac and cheese and creamy spinach. The steak was super delicious and tender and the sauce flight was a great compliment. The sides were very good and served for sharing. Overall I can't say enough great things for our dining experience at Yachtsman Steakhouse! read more

Another visit to Yachtsman Steak House at Yacht and Beach Club at Disney. The food ordered this time pretty much matched the order from the last visit. The prime rib was delicious which comes with Yorkshire pudding. We each ordered that, medium rare. We ordered a side of mashed potatoes and you must have creamy spinach. Wifey had shrimp cocktail for a starter while I decided on the French onion soup. The prime rib was great as was the Yorkshire pudding. Wifey enjoyed the shrimp but I was a bit disappointed with the French onion soup. It's not as good as the one at Steakhouse 71. The spinach was yummy but they need a new version of mashed potatoes. Not really impressed with it. We'll be back in 2026 and perhaps will change the side dishes in our order. The service by our waiter, Miguel was wonderful. The restaurant looks great as always. read more

I am vegan and my mom is not so this seems to be a place we can both find options. The newest vegan option is a pasta dish. It is very delicious and I would go here again and have it, however there is no form of protein in the dish which is disappointing for the price. The staff here is hit or miss. My mom has had the filet here and most recently she had the fish dish which she said was okay, however she doesn't love tomato based sauces with fish and this was. The bread and the garlic that comes with it, is delicious. I would say if you are near here and like steak it is a great place for steak, however the other dishes are not their primary focus and it shows (even the waitress agreed when we were talking to her about it). I would however get the vegan pasta dish again, but I would like them to add some sort of protein like the mushrooms they had previously. read more

No need to come here when Le Cellier Steakhouse at EPCOT inside of Canada is a short walk away. I've been on my quest to try the "top" rated Disney restaurants at the hotels around the parks. I wouldn't come back to Yachtsman. Everything here is pretty good, not great. Although I did really like the French onion soup. The steak was ok, as we're the Brussels. The $16.50 Manhattan was pretty good. There's really no reason to come here if you have a ticket into EPCOT. read more

Enjoyed my meal here. Had the American Wagyu New York strip which was very flavorful and tender. Also had a French onion soup which has the server said best on property and she's probably right as it was delicious.

The restaurant had a very friendly family field to it was not stuffy at all and reasonably priced for where it was and what you were receiving. read more

This is THE place to grab steak at Disney. We go every year for my birthday and we always have a great time. The interior is decked out sort of like a the interior of a yacht, and the service is outstanding as always on Disney property. The food, I usually stick with the rib eye and the seafood platter, and that is usually enough for a party of two. The prices are steep, I will say, but it's great to celebrate a special occasion. Their dome cake is also very delicious. It looks very dense and heavy but it's not, and highly recommend. It comes with Mickey ears! read more

I really wanted to love it but it just didn't deliver. We initally had a 5 PM reservation but were able to push it back in the app so that we could have a bit more pool time and ended up dining around 6:15. The complimentary bread was good and I enjoed the roasted garlic that came with it. My husband and I split the New York strip and the side of brussel sprouts. The strip was good but not top tier steak house quality. I thought it could have used a bit more seasoning....perhaps one we should have opted for one of the sauces. The menu states it comes with a pepercorn sauce but I don't remember a sauce. We were both a bit dissapointed that it had a large fat cap and would have liked it to have been trimmed a bit more. The gratin potatoes were not super memorable and in hindsight we probably should have stuck with the baked potato but I thought the gratin potatoes sounded more unique. The star of the food though was actually the brussel sprouts. They were delcious, prepared well, and I would order again...My husband and I both enjoyed them but did think it was a bit sad that a steakhouse's most memorable and well executed dish was a vegetable. Service was a bit adequate but a bit awkward....we both felt like we were on the verge of being scolded by out server....she just wasn't warm and friendly like most of our servers on the trip. With so many restaurants to try at Walt Disney World I don't see us returning to Yachtsman. read more

My family loves this restaurant for a special night out on Disney property! We came here this week for my parent's 35th wedding anniversary. Ken was our server and made our experience spectacular. Ask for Ken!! This restaurant is inside the Yacht Club and is a fantastic steakhouse, also offering other options such as chicken, vegetarian dishes and seafood. They have a full bar and I really enjoyed my martini. The complimentary bread comes with spreadable roasted garlic and butter. This stuff is so addicting! I had the crudo for my appetizer and loved it. The flavors were complex and the texture of the fish was perfect. For my entree, I had the sea bass. I loved the mix of flavors and the crab was a great addition to the dish! For dessert, I opted for a chocolate martini and it was perfection. My entire family enjoyed their meals and we all had the best time celebrating my parents here! read more

Yachtsman Steakhouse - Chilean Sea Bass* - Steakhouses Near Me - Lake Buena Vista, Florida

My wife, daughters, and future son-in-law met up at the Steakhouse for our first night in Disney World. We made our reservation a couple of months in advance, as it is a difficult restaurant to find a table. After riding the Skyliner from our Pop Century hotel, the walk was 10 minutes from the EPCOT station to the restaurant. After a brief wait at the podium, we were seated at a six-top table, giving the five of us plenty of room. Our server, Bau, explained the menu to us and took our drink orders. Their wine menu had a wide selection to choose from, but not many bottles under $100. I bit the bullet and ordered a delicious Cakebread Cab for $160. It is probably an $80 bottle in a store, so it's a reasonable 2x markup. Regardless, it was delicious and paired well with the meat. We started with a lobster bisque, shrimp cocktail, and wedge salad. The lobster bisque was phenomenal, as was the wedge salad. The salad was plenty to share with two or three, which I did split with my wife. The shrimp cocktail garnered a "meh" rating. Two of us got the 22-oz bone-in ribeye, two the prime rib, and the other the short ribs. The steaks were all ordered medium rare and came out a beautiful red color. The center portion of my ribeye was delicious. The rest of it was more grisly than I would expect from a cut like this. The prime rib was enjoyable, but one thought it was a bit more chewy than it should be. The ribs were awesome. Bau clued us in on the yummy mashed potatoes, and we all subbed them with our entrees. We all agreed the mashed potatoes were creamy and heavenly. We didn't order any additional sides to save room for dessert. Complimentary bread is served, and for us, it includes sourdough and onion-crusted rolls. The latter made quite a mess, with the crusty bits getting all over the tablecloth. There was no crumb scraper, though, to clean up the debris. For dessert, we shared a chocolate cake and a lemon cake with a merengue frosting. Both were large enough to share between the five of us. They were super delicious and very enjoyable. The service throughout the evening was great. The food overall was good, with room for improvement. The entree prices were a little steep for what we got. We will likely try a different steakhouse on a future visit. read more

A solid choice for dining on Disney property! My husband and I live in the area and are working on trying all the restaurants, this was next on our list. The restaurant itself is nothing particularly special decor or ambiance wise. I thought it might be a little more intimate but it's Disney so I can't be too shocked at the open concept vibes. Hands down best part of this meal is the BREAD SERVICE. I'd put it up there as one of the best at Disney World. There's sourdough rolls and onion pull apart rolls. Both delicious. And they're served with both butter and a garlic clove. Now, I'm a diehard garlic girly but this was to dieeeeee for. It spread easily and was so delicious. And they'll bring you more if you use it all (which we totally did). I got the New York strip and I will say I've had better steaks in the area. Especially for this price point ($62) I expected it to be excellent. And it was solidly good but not incredible. The mashed potatoes and peppercorn sauce with it were packed with flavor though. For dessert we got the signature chocolate cake. SO moist, chocolatey and delicious. It could've used a little more raspberry imo but we devoured it. The portion was a solid size for the price, we didn't finish it since we were already so full. We also got a cute little anniversary chocolate treat since we told them we were celebrating our five year wedding anniversary! read more

Yachtsman is one of my favorite Disney restaurants, thanks to consistent delivery of quality food and excellent service. Their steaks are delicious but I think Steakhouse 71 might be replacing them as my favorite steak on property and also a bit cheaper. I tried the Black Garlic Fettuccine for the first time last night and where had this dish been all my life? Creamy, flavorful, riddled with autumn squashes of multiple kinds and a hearty portion. Not terrible for $38. I was a bit disappointed in the shrimp cocktail appetizer. Shrimp wasn't super fresh and cocktail sauce was average. The onion pull apart bread free on the table is the best deal and flavor, since they also serve it with roasted garlic and butter with sea salt. The dessert must is their signature chocolate cake and French press coffee - that even tastes good as Decaf! Miguel our server was awesome! Friendly, knowledgeable and on top of everything all night long. read more

The service was a little underwhelming for the prices that we were charged. It wasn't bad but it just wasn't what you would hope for. We felt the menu was limited in what it offered, lack of non-alcoholic cocktails and limited appetizers specifically. read more

The steak, seafood, and service were all terrible. I hardly leave a negative review like this, but when you're potentially spending hundreds of dollars do not waste your money! Our server Niel (spelling is correct), never checked on us. We had to ask other servers for drink refills, he did not check our steak temperatures, the lobster tail was absolutely horrible and destroyed by the use of Thai basil, and the mashed potatoes were so salty (and I LOVE salt) they were inedible. My daughter's dessert was good. They are so many fantastic places to eat in Disney. Do not go here. read more

BAO. BAO. BAO. BAO. BAO. BAO. BAO!!!! THE MOST AMAZING SERVER! Wonderful customer service. Gave him a cast compliment through the Disney World app. Last time we tried Steakhouse 51 at Contemporary Resort. Yachtsman Steakhouse is definitely the superior steakhouse between the two. Both in quality and taste. My group of 7 made a reservation here and it was truly one of the best meals we had there. We did have a cast member discount so I'm sure that played into our experience. But even without the discount, it was a delicious meal! A majority of us split the ribeye. Keep in mind that you can swap any of the potato sides that comes with the steak for a different potato side. I ended up splitting a 22 ounce ribeye with potato gratin with my husband. It was the perfect amount of food between the two of us. As a table we ordered the Summer Bib Salad, Truffle Macaroni and Cheese, Red Wine-braised Mushrooms, and Hot Honey-Bourbon Brussel Sprouts. We also had a Strawberry Cheesecake. Our meal started off with the Summer Bib Salad as well as the bread basket (sourdough and onion rolls) served with butter and roasted garlic. BOTH WERE DELICIOUS. The summer bib salad was so insanely fresh and the green goddess dressing was perfection. Both the breads were delicious and a different experience. The butter was wonderfully whipped and light and the roasted garlic was so delicious smeared on a roll. THE SALAD AND BREAD ARE ABSOLUTE MUST HAVES. When our steaks arrived, we realized that the two ribeye steaks had been switched. To our surprise, the kitchen offered us a replacement and told us it was no problem at all. We had even started to eat our steaks and our potatoes before we noticed and the kitchen gave us back both potatoes as well as both ribeyes. We were so impressed! The steaks were delicious and cooked to perfection. They were seasoned well. The potato gratin was also tasty, especially that butter sauce. All the sides were yummy. I'd definitely order the brussel sprouts and mushrooms again. The truffle mac and cheese was not as strong of a side because I thought the noodles were a bit overcooked and the sauce was not as flavorful as I wanted. The strawberry cheesecake was also delicious and surprisingly citrusy. Overall, a truly wonderful and delicious meal. Special shoutout to Bao for making the meal so special. We will definitely come back!!!! read more

One of my favorite restaurants at Disney. Be prepared, this could be a long meal. We were a table of 8 with four kids under the age of 7 and our server served us at a leisurely pace. Whereas our friends at the table next to us, a family of 5 with three kids under 7 were in and out before our kids got their Mickey cookie to paint (which is a really fun experience for the kids). So it really depends on your server, but every experience I've had here has been on the longer side. The food here is where they shine. They bring complimentary bread and the pull apart onion bread is to-die-for (there is another type of bread that they bring, but I didn't touch it once I heard pull apart onion bread.) My husband and I got the 22 oz ribeye and a caesar salad to split and I think we'll do that every time. We also got a side of mushrooms, which were amazing. I wasn't enamored with the au gratin potatoes that come with the ribeye. It had a heavy cheese sauce poured on top that I didn't like (next time I should ask to sub it out). However, the steak was perfection. I actually ate it cold the next day and it was still delicious. We got the kids grilled chicken (they don't have chicken tenders). They do have fries though even though it's not on the menu. We got a side of fries and a side of the mickey cookie, which is edible paint and cookie/white chocolate pieces. We bought a second mickey cookie for my other son, since he was eating off everyone's plates and the cookie by itself is $9. Might be worth ordering the kids meal knowing the cookie alone is that expensive. I got a dirty martini, which was good, but the passionfruit margarita was excellent. If I'm feeling a margarita I will definitely get that over the dirty martini. You can't go wrong with either. The decor is all dark woods. It is basically a nice steakhouse where it's not weird to have young kids. That's what I love about Disney, you can bring your kids to nice meals. Every time we stay at Beach Club I will book dining here. read more

This place is tucked away in the corner by the pool of The Yacht Club resort. The dining space has plenty of tables to dine, but felt the ambience needed a little TLC. All the tables have linens on them to make it look a little more fancy. The servers were seasoned and excellent. We started with a wedge salad with bacon, egg, tomatoes, and radishes. It was paired with a nice blue cheese. The salad was very nice, just wish the egg was over hard instead of slightly runny. For the main entrée, we had the filet mignon. For my dish, I felt that the filet mignon was left on the grill too long on one side and then seared for only a couple of seconds on the other, so on side was brown and the other was medium. However, the taste was excellent. My husband's was cooked perfectly and appeared as if it was more attended to because it was mostly medium consistently throughout the filet. The mashed potatoes were a bit liquid, but still tasted decent. On the side, we had the red wine, braised mushrooms, they were excellent, highly recommend to try them. Overall, I'd say the quality of the filet mignon was subpar, not high end. For a steakhouse, I felt they could do better on the meat quality. The overall seasoning was excellent though. We gave five stars for the professionalism and experience we had. read more

The food here was wonderful--prime rib cooked perfectly, flavorful loaded potatoes, and a decadent chocolate cake, plus fresh bread with garlic sea salt butter.

So I'm pretty happy to be able to give a Disney restaurant a great review; seems like I haven't had a good experience at one in a while. Recently, we were scrambling to make late dinner plans and found a reservation at Yachtsman. You don't really hear much about this place from vloggers and I'm not sure why. * The service: 10/10 - so this is a score that reflects everyone working in the restaurant. The hostess, the expo chef who greets you when walking in (through their open kitchen) and most importantly our server, Li. The service was attentive, knowledgeable, and first class. Li cut our son's chicken tenders at the table and helped us get him to eat ... above and beyond. * Atmosphere: 10/10 - more subjective here, but for me, it is a comfortable place that exudes a laid back but upscale country club vibe. It's one of the few places in Disney that hasn't been "modernized yet," and by that I mean given an update to look more current and sterile. I hope they leave the decor untouched as I'm not a fan of the Disney method of giving places a facelift but ending up with pretty soulless and bland spaces while chasing a "modern aesthetic." I like the character of this place. Real wood floors. Brick fireplace. It's timelessly American steakhouse. * Food: 10/10 - So to reiterate, I've been on a disappointing streak of bad Disney dining experiences. The service is mostly atrocious with cast members being rude and clueless. The food has been cold, bland, or downright bad. But somehow yachtsman is hidden away with an array of delicious food. The bread service is an incredible start. With soft flaky onion bread and whole heads of squeezable roasted garlic. For my steak, I had the bone in prime graded ribeye and it was so good I returned 10 days later to have it again. They achieved an absolutely gorgeous char on the crust while hitting a perfect internal cook of my requested medium rare. They did this for both my visits which showcased their consistency. On my steak was an au poirve sauce. A creamy spicy sauce with brandy. The potatoes au gratin were creamy and perfectly cooked with a robust potato flavor. The mashed potatoes were addicting with a silky texture and decadent amount of butter, and the truffle Mac and cheese was salty, cheesy, and funky with the perfect amount of umami flavor that made it craveable. All in all, this is my favorite Disney restaurant hands down. I hope it isn't washed away by Disney's tidal wave of modernizing restaurants and budget cuts, because from the decor, to the service, to the food, it's one of the few places I've found on property that still offers full Disney quality where the once prevalent "Disney difference" is on full display. read more

If you are looking for a steakhouse in the Disney area then Yachtsman Steakhouse is a must try. We had a great experience. The food was delicious and good quality, the service was phenomenal and the atmosphere was relaxing. They are only open for dinner and dining reservations are highly recommended. For starters you get complimentary bread and roasted garlic. The roasted garlic was so delicious especially paired with the bread. I would go back just for their roasted garlic it was that good. For appetizers we ordered the Lobster Bisque and Beef Carpaccio. The Lobster Bisque was really good and everything tasted fresh and rich. I highly recommend that as a starter. The Beef Carpaccio was also really good. The beef was tender and all the ingredients combined together made it a fresh and enjoyable appetizer. For entrees we got the 22-oz Angus Bone-In Rib-Eye Prime and the 7-oz Filet Mignon. Our steaks were cooked perfectly and were tender and had amazing flavor. My kid's ordered off their kid menu and they also enjoyed their food. One of the things I liked about this restaurant is they have a good kid's menu. For sides we ordered the mashed potatoes, loaded baked potato, truffle macaroni and cheese, hot honey-bourbon brussels sprouts, truffle fries and the sauce flight. All the sides were really good and I was happy with the portion sizes. The only thing I don't recommend ordering is the sauce flight. It was ok but nothing great and we didn't really use the sauces on anything because everything was already delicious and flavorful as is. This is a restaurant I will definitely go back to again. read more

Great meal experience that will be a repeat on our Disney trips. The complimentary bread service is amazing, with their signature pull apart onion bread and sourdough rolls served with garlic confit in addition to butter. Our meal started with the French Onion Soup and Wedge Salad. The dressing on the salad was fresh and delicious, and not super heavy for a blue cheese dressing. The soup was flavorful, but a bit too salty. We then had the beef carpaccio. I've been looking for a replacement to the one that was removed from the menu at The Brown Derby. While this was not it, it was very good with the addition of artichokes. However, the description mentioned fried capers and I didn't find any. We ordered the NY Strip to share as our main, and it was perfectly cooked and plenty of food for the two of us. We are spoiled when it comes to steaks, so while the cut was nothing special, it was well prepared. We were too full for dessert, so I drank mine in the form of a chocolate martini with a hint of raspberry from the Chambord. And our meal ended with complementary petits fours which was the perfect sweet finish to the meal. read more

Great Steakhouse located at Yacht Club Resort in Disney. Service was a bit spotty (had to ask for water a few times), but taken well enough care of. Love the onion bread with roasted garlic! What a treat! Nice Caesar salad, that they split for us. Each lettuce peas had the perfect portion of dressing on it. Highly recommend splitting the 22 ounce prime steak, then adding a side dish like creamed spinach Lovely little dessert trio if you're celebrating a birthday or anniversary read more

We visited Yachtsman on a Thursday night around 6:30. We had a reservation. It was pretty busy, but we still had excellent service. We started with some cocktails which were very good. We also got the beef carpaccio. While the beef tasted excellent, I wish it had come with some sort of bread to eat it with. It was delicious though. After that, we each ordered our steaks. I had a strip steak with peppercorn sauce and potatoes, and we split a Mac n cheese and Brussels sprouts. Everything came out together. My steak was just slightly overdone (maybe within a minute of a perfect medium rare), but it was perfectly seasoned and had a beautiful sear. The Mac n cheese was honestly some of the best I've ever had, and I am a big fan of mac n cheese. We loved the Brussels sprouts too, but they weren't particularly memorable. For dessert, we split the strawberry shortcake and the brûlée cheesecake. They were both kind of creative takes on traditional desserts. While the shortcake was good, the brûlée cheesecake was really incredible. While I'm not much of a dessert person, I'd absolutely order that again and this time I wouldn't share!! I love yachtsman and I definitely plan on returning again! It's a great spot for a date night or a special occasion with friends. read more

This was my second visit. Also my second time failing to take many pictures because I was just so excited to eat. 5-stars easily. The service is outstanding. Waitstaff is friendly and attentive. We had Ken today, and he was just a delight. He seemed to genuinely love what he does and took good care of us like we were family. The food is outstanding. We ordered prime rib, medium rare which comes with your potato of choice (highly recommend the gratin) and creamed horseradish (we also requested raw horseradish). We got a side of truffle mac n cheese and the Brussel sprouts. The steaks are incredible and massive. The sides almost stole the show, though. So so so good! For dessert, we shared a crème brûlée which, I mean, how can you go wrong?? Surrounded by beautiful decorations and a calm ambiance, there's really nothing more I could ask for in a higher-end dining experience. read more

What an amazing service! We ordered Chilean seabass and steak!! The food, service and decor are wonderful. Disney never disappoints!

I already can't wait to go back again! The atmosphere is beautiful. Although it is Disney world, many people were dressed up but some were still dressed a little casual. The service was awesome from the start. The gentleman who seated us was so nice. Our waitress was very attentive and super nice! I loved the 2 bread offerings. There are the onion rolls and sourdough rolls. I preferred the sourdough rolls. The salted butter was delicious! The truffle Mac and cheese was the best I've ever tasted. This is my new favorite truffle Mac! The roasted prime rib was heavenly. I see why a lot of people chose this restaurant as one of their favorite steak places in Disneyworld! read more

Had some flattened steak they called filet with so much salt on it. Do not recommend this place at all

Our first dining experience at DW did not disappoint! Super engaging, friendly, and clever staff - as one would expect from Disney - from check in to dessert delivery, the team took excellent care of us. Guests are treated to a bit of a meat, kitchen, and dessert tour before being seated. Our table had a great view of the pool and walkway. To add to our comfort, the tables are situated strategically with enough space to walk through without bumping hip to elbow or backing into someone else's chair. The ambiance was instantly comfortable and felt upscale with the architectural touches and thematic color palette. Dress casually or smartly, either works. Be prepared for some delicious food! We chose a variety of tastes to share to make the most of a trip about the menu (I missed a pic of the Green Goddess Bibb Salad). The rib-eye was seasoned perfectly, but we enjoyed the variety of dips from the sauce flight. The Brussels sprouts were delectable! The lobster Thermidor was decadent but very subtle in flavor. It was PLENTY to share. Great food, personable staff, and comfortable setting all made for a remarkable first impression, as well as a soothing evening after a 14 hour travel day. read more

I, along with my family and friends, looked forward to our dinner at TheYachtsman all week. We have been to the Yachtsman many times because of the comfortable atmosphere, superb food and impeccable service. What a disappointment we had last night, Friday August 8, 2025. Our table was not ready at our reservation time. Once we were seated, our beverage order took a while to arrive at our table. It went downhill from here. Twenty five minutes elapsed before bread was delivered to our table. Another 40+ minutes went by and still no meals in front of us. The server assigned to our table was Louisa. Since there were 7 people in our group, there is an automatic 18% gratuity. Luisa did Absolutely Nothing to earn it. I watched her for a while and she paid a lot more attention to her other tables that she wasn't guaranteed a nice gratuity. Then Jayde stepped in to save the night. Jayde is one of the Leaders for The Yachtsman. She expedited the food order, made sure drinks were replenished and lit a fire under Louisa. Our food finally arrives. My medium rare filet mignon is was burnt on the outside, but cooked to temperature inside. My wife's medium filet mignon was hemorrhaging blood. Jayde, once again came to the rescue. She picked up my wife's plate and went back to the kitchen. Jayde returned within minutes with a filet cooked more to my wife's liking. I really wanted our gratuity to go to Jayde and the runner. They worked hard for it and probably received nothing. These two well trained and extremely personable people saved the day. Louisa should step up her game, stop coasting when she gets a large party or get a job at McDonald's. It's going to be a long while before returning to the Yachtsman Restaurant located within the Yacht & Beach Club Resort Hotel. I would recommend The Cellier located within Canada's Pavillion at Disney's Epcot. read more
