Disney’s Yacht Club Resort

If you like nautical, then Disney’s Yacht Club Resort is where you want to stay. Also, this charming New England Inspired resort is simply divine. This Disney resort is across from Disney’s Boardwalk. You can either catch a boat to get to or walk over to the Boardwalk area.

The Yacht Club is also an Epcot area resort. Believe it or not, you can even walk over to Epcot from the Yacht and Beach Club Resorts!

Onion Bread

The onion bread comes with everything on the Yachtsman Steakhouse menu. Disney food is amazing! That fluffy bread with onion taste is a Disney Dining Yummy delight!

Disney Dining

Before your mouth starts drooling over this wonderful onion bread, the Yachtsman Steakhouse is a signature dining. Which means on the Disney Dining Plan it is 2 dining meal credits. 

My recommendation would be if you want to try the Yachtsman Steakhouse menu, I would do this Disney Dining establishment as a special celebration. It is worth it! I personally used this Disney steakhouse for my father’s 70th birthday on our Disney Dining Plan.

You will love this Disney food. It is worth using 2 credits to try this onion bread! Like I said earlier the Onion rolls are a great compliment to the aged steaks at the Yachtsman Steakhouse!

Love the look and sound of this onion bread! Since I'm unlikely to be eating at Disney anytime soon (I live in Italy) , even if it sounds awesome, I think I should try making the bread myself!

You Won’t Be Mad at Yachtsman Steakhouse in Disney World … Probably

By Kelly Oliveros 8 Comments

Restaurants all over Disney World have been reopening during the past few years.

Yachtsman Steakhouse

One special spot that began welcoming guests again in August 2021 is Yachtsman Steakhouse at Disney’s Yacht Club Resort. We already shared a first look at this reopened spot with its delicious-looking steak , but now it’s time to do a deep dive and give you our FULL review. Is Yachtsman a place you should visit during your Disney World trips? It’s time to find out.

We’ll start with a look at the general atmosphere of this spot. As we mentioned above, Yachtsman is located at the Yacht Club. It is an upscale steakhouse, but isn’t a spot that feels overly formal or stuffy.

You’ll head to the boat-shaped spot to check-in (or you can check-in online through the My Disney Experience app) .

Once it’s your turn to head inside, you’ll go up the steps and into the dining room.

Time to Head Inside!

In terms of tables here, you’ll find standard tables and chairs as well as a few booths.

Yachtsman Steakhouse Seating

The space itself is composed of one large room with smaller sections divided by half walls and pillars.

Yachtsman Steakhouse — Another Peek at the Seating

In one central area, you can look up at the high ceilings above and the unique chandelier.

On the tables here you’ll find a cloth napkin and traditional silverware.

One big thing to note is that this restaurant is connected to The Crew’s Cup Lounge . Crew’s Cup used to have some items that were unique to that spot, but right now you can get the same menu served at Yachtsman over at Crew’s Cup Lounge. So, if you’re looking to try some of the items from Yachtsman, but don’t want the full restaurant experience or can’t grab a reservation there, you can get a few eats and drinks next door.

Crew’s Cup Lounge seating

Okay, back to Yachtsman. Another thing we want to note about this location is how different it can feel earlier in the day versus later at night. At night, it’s lovely to sit in this restaurant and look out at the pool with the lights on, while everything is calm. But, if you eat here earlier in the day, you’ll look out at the pool and see a completely different scene. Instead of a calm scene, you’ll be looking out at people running around and swimming, all while chomping down on your fine, fancy steak.

If that doesn’t bother you, then there’s no issue. But if you want that upscale feel to really be consistent throughout every aspect of the meal, you may want to dine here a bit later in the day. Just something to keep in mind!

Alright, onto the food! The food here has long been a favorite of many guests, us included. We’ve long found the steaks here to be some of the best on property. The sides are typically delicious and the steaks are usually cooked very well. So, how does the reopened restaurant deliver?

First, let’s take a look at what eats you can get. When we were there, a paper menu was provided to us.

The menu has a variety of options. There are first course items like French Onion Soup, a Steakhouse Wedge Salad, and more. There are also butcher cuts of meats, signature offerings, land and sea entrees, and sides.

And you can’t forget about dessert — there are a variety of sweet treats available here.

There are also kids’ options…

…including various entrees and side items for them to pick from.

You’ll also find a variety of beers, cocktails…

Lots of Options

…wines…

Just Some of the Wine Options

…dessert wines, port and fortified wines, scotches, cognacs, coffee drinks, and after-dinner flights on the menu.

There’s a Lot to Pick From

Each meal starts with one very important thing… bread!

Time to Get Those Carbs On

The complimentary bread basket here includes a Dark Cherry Multigrain Sourdough and Onion Pull-Apart Rolls .

A Closer Look at the Bread

The onion pull-apart rolls are killer! You could seriously come for the bread along with a side or two (and dessert) and be content.

Anyone Else Love Bread?

These are served with roasted garlic and butter sprinkled with Hawaiian sea salt.

Roasted Garlic

The roasted garlic is a unique accompaniment, but is wonderful and goes great with the bread served here.

Next, it’s time for appetizers. For our meal, we got 2 — the Beef Carpaccio for $16 and the Lobster Bisque for $16.

The Beef Carpaccio features Truffle Aioli, Parmesan, Fried Capers, Grilled Artichokes, and Smoked Sea Salt. It was garnished with a small radish , halved on either side. And while it wasn’t included in the menu description, our Beef Carpaccio also had pine nuts and edamame seeds .

Beef Carpaccio

This dish was SO good! It was salty but incredibly delicious . We really loved the grilled artichokes. They added to the saltiness (which you may enjoy or find to be too salty, depending on your tastes), but we still thought they were fantastic.

The pine nuts added a great crunch, and the parmesan and capers added a great layer of flavor (and more saltiness).

A Close-Up Look

The beef was wonderfully tender. In all honesty, it didn’t need all of the toppings — the beef was great enough on its own. But, the toppings added to the overall flavor.

Overall, this was a dish our reporter said they’d get again and again! Our only complaints? We wish there were more, particularly more artichoke pieces so we could have one piece with each rollup of meat.

If you enjoy beef carpaccio or steak tartare, then we have a feeling you’ll really enjoy this! Just keep in mind that you’ll need to like capers and salty dishes to really like this one. If raw meat is not your thing though, then this might be a pass for you.

Next, we have the Lobster Bisque. This is served with Lobster biscuits, creme fraiche, and Espelette oil.

Lobster Bisque

The bisque was creamy, rich, and had a fantastically smooth texture . The seafood flavor here was strong though . If you don’t like your bisque to be really fishy tasting, then this might not be a good choice for you.

The biscuits sort of reminded us of the cheddar biscuits you get at Red Lobster.

A Peek at the Lobster Bisque

Overall, the lobster bisque wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t anything incredibly special either. If you’re in the mood for soup, the French Onion soup is one we might recommend itself of the bisque, unless you’re a huge lobster bisque fan.

Next, it was time for an entree. For our meal, we grabbed the 8oz Filet Mignon priced at $54.

Filet Mignon

The filet is served with a Cognac Truffle Butter Sauce . Yachtsman gives a sauce recommendation for each steak, but you are able to switch that out. We kept their recommendation with the Cognac Truffle Butter sauce and it was great.

Time for Some Steak

We ordered our filet medium rare and it was cooked perfectly. Oh, and it was absolutely delicious ! The steak was buttery and crispy on the outside, with perfectly grilled edges .

A Look at the Steak

The truffle butter sauce was simple, but not in a bad way. It brought out the flavors of the steak. Note that the steak wasn’t drenched in the sauce. It almost seemed like the sauce was just brushed on the top. It was just the right amount for us.

Anyone Getting Hungry Just Reading This?

We really didn’t have any complaints here! The steak was fantastic, and the sauce was great.

Another Look at the Steak

The steak is served with one accompaniment — your choice of Mashed Potatoes, Potato-Leek Gratin, House-made French Fries, Haricot Verts (a.k.a. green beans). For our side, we grabbed the  Potato-Leek Gratin and we’re so glad we did!

Potato-Leek Gratin

It was our favorite of the side dishes we got during our meal (more on the other side we got in a second). The Potato-Leek Gratin was creamy and cheesy.

The combination of potato and leek was really nice , and they had a great texture — fork-tender while still having a bit of a bite to them.

We also loved the sweet oniony flavor the leeks added . If you love onions, this might be a great choice for you. And even if you don’t really love onions, we still think this side is so good you might want to give it a try. In our opinion, it’s a much better option than something more “traditional” like french fries or mashed potatoes.

For our second side dish, we grabbed the Steakhouse Side of Truffle Macaroni & Cheese for $12.50.

Truffle Macaroni and Cheese

We’ve had the truffle mac and cheese here before , though the previous version appears to be different. This mac & cheese was very good and is the type of dish that we think could please just about anyone . It was creamy and full of cheesy goodness .

Time to Take a Bite!

There was a sprinkling of bread crumbs on top and green onion, which added a nice layer of crunch and flavor to the dish.

It was very rich. It wasn’t over-the-top when it comes to the cheese though. Instead, it was more creamy. So, if you’re looking for that awesome cheese pull to share on your Instagram, you won’t get it here. (But it’s still tasty!)

We also want to note that we think both sides could be easily shared between two people, so keep that in mind when ordering.

Finally, it’s time for dessert! During our meal, we got the Yachtsman Chocolate Cakes, which is priced at $19 . This says it serves 2, but really, we think it can serve 4!!

Time for Dessert!

The dessert is made with a Dark Chocolate Mousse, Chocolate Decadence Cake, Mixed Berry Curd, Peanut Butter Crunch, and Peanut Butter Mousse . It is topped with fresh whipped cream , covered in a gorgeous chocolate shell , and features a candied peanut on top . It’s also served with chocolate sauce.

Honestly, this thing is a SHOW STOPPER . It was huge and gorgeous , and the presentation was amazing. The chocolate shell looked like paper, it was just absolutely beautiful.

A Closer Look at the Chocolate

The whipped cream was wonderfully fresh and light. It was sweet without being too sweet. The peanut butter mousse and peanut butter crunch layers in the cake were ridiculously good. If Yachtsman would make a rich candy bar with that filling, we’d buy it right up!

A Look at the Inside of the Cake

The bottom layer is where you’ll find the decadence cake. It is very rich. Grabbing a bite of that cake with the peanut butter layers is truly a bite made in heaven. The other cake layers were good, but the Chocolate Decadence Cake layer itself was just on another level.

So Much Chocolatey Goodness

The berry layer was good but totally outshined by the other amazing flavors. Also, note that there were some chocolate crispy pearls on top of the berry curd before the whipped cream.

A Look Inside

$19 for this dessert is a GREAT price considering its size and the phenomenal flavors packed inside. Seriously, this thing could feed a crowd, though you might not want to share because it’s THAT good.

We think this dessert is totally worth the price and really we wouldn’t change a thing about it. Of course, if you have a peanut allergy, this is something you’ll want to stay away from.

Yachtsman Chocolate Cakes

But, if you are a Chocolate Peanut Butter lover, do yourself a favor and just add this to your must-get Disney list!

During our most recent visit, we decided to grab the Whiskey Breeze as our drink. The drink features Jim Beam Black Extra-aged Bourbon, Cointreau, and fresh lime juice, with flavors of Guava and Mango. It’s also garnished with a quartered orange sliced.

Whiskey Breeze

The drink VERY tart! In fact, the citrus flavors were so strong that we really couldn’t taste the whiskey at all. We were surprised that the mango and guava flavors didn’t really add a lot of sweetness. Instead, the lime juice is what really dominated the drink in terms of flavor.

It’s Very Tart

Though the level of tartness in this drink was a shock at first, we did enjoy the drink overall.

If you like Whiskey Sours, then this will be right up your alley. But if you were wanting more of the fruity flavors described (that guava and mango) then you may not enjoy this drink.

It wasn’t what we were expecting, but it was good. You can grab the Whiskey Breeze for $14.

Nosh or Not

Make your way to Yachtsman Steakhouse if:

• You love steak, beef carpaccio, and/or chocolate and peanut-butter-filled desserts;
• You’re looking to have a nice relaxing dinner one night while on vacation;
• You’re celebrating a special occasion — this is a great dining location to do that!

Consider grabbing a meal somewhere else if:

• You’re traveling/dining with a bunch of kids — this is more of an upscale restaurant though kids are allowed and there are kids menu options, they just may not really enjoy the setting;
• You’re looking for something quick or cheap;
• You’re not staying anywhere near EPCOT or the Yacht Club Resort and the trip over here may be well out of your way — though we will say we think it’s worth coming to if you plan ahead for it.

Overall, we had a really great experience at the Yachtsman Steakhouse. The dessert really is a STAR, the steak was fantastic, and we really enjoyed the other items but especially the Beef Carpaccio and the Potato-Leek Gratin. Truly, the food here is top quality.

A Look at Our Items

What’s also wonderful is that right now you can get the same menu items over at Crew’s Cup Lounge, next door, without a reservation.

Our server, Kim, was great. She was very helpful and happy to recommend dishes to us, but not pushy at all. This is really a place where you can sit back, relax, and stay awhile. The food was also timed perfectly. We asked to enjoy the appetizers and bread first, then order our entree afterward and our server was great about that. Though we will note service here in the past has been very slow at times , so that’s just something to keep in mind.

Some Great Choices

Yachtsman can often be overlooked (as can many of the restaurants at Disney World’s hotels), but it definitely shouldn’t be. If you’re looking for a fantastic steak, some awesome appetizers, tasty sides, and a phenomenal dessert all in a very upscale but still relaxed environment, this could be just the place for you!

I have eaten at Yachtsman many times and will continue to eat here! The food is amazing, service is impeccable. Definitely worth the splurge!

August 12, 2021 at 9:13 pm

While Yachtsman is a good steak place, let’s get serious…the best steak place is Shula’s. In fact, it is one of the top 10 restaurants I’ve been too. The steaks…phenomenal. Fresh baked sour dough bread. And, soufflé for dessert. Soufflé in Florida’s humidity…now that’s a feat.

February 12, 2022 at 10:01 pm

Overlooked it as “just another steakhouse” until our last trip. Oh man was that a fantastic ribeye steak! Sadly it will be a long time before we go again.

March 15, 2022 at 2:35 pm

Went here many years ago with my special needs son who also has quite a few dietary allergies. They really went above & beyond to accommodate his needs. Food was fantastic and service was outstanding, they even made him a sorbet for desert that was quite amazing. This will always be on my list for steak while at WDW.

March 15, 2022 at 7:15 pm

Although I have eaten at Yachtsman and thoroughly enjoyed it, my favorite steak restaurant at WDW is LeCellier in Canada. Yachtsman also has the advantage of being walking distance from Boardwalk and others.

March 16, 2022 at 2:35 am

A long-time favourite of ours, we usually save it for our final evening and pair it with a walk over to World Showcase for the fireworks. It’s always been the perfect upscale experience to round off our vacation.

May 13, 2022 at 3:24 pm

We thoroughly enjoyed the Yachtsman Steakhouse last night. We make it a tradition to have our dinner there the last night of our Disney stay. The atmosphere, the wonderful food, and the great individualized service make it a great way to end our vacation. The lobster bisque is amazing, and is easily the best we have ever tasted. We usually order the petite filet mignon, and my husband always says it is the best steak he has had since we were there last. We enjoy the bread service and garlic accompaniment to begin our meal. We have found though that if we are going to enjoy the desserts, we need to eat lightly the entire day in order to have room for them. The only thing we don’t enjoy is the green beans. They need to be cooked more.

May 14, 2022 at 8:55 am

My steak eating family of six went to this place and never again will we waste our hard earned money! Three of the six steaks were very over cooked and the sides came out cold. After a very long wait the replacement steaks came and still one of those was not up to par but at this point we were ready to get out of there. The price is ridiculous and doesn’t match the experience or quality. We are a Disney family so we understand the price tag that comes with Disney but this was too much! I’d go back to Epcot and eat a steak in Canada before I spend a dime here.

A Taste of Disney: Yachtsman Steakhouse

by Kristin Casagrand

From the moment you check-in to the moment you leave, the servers are on top of your every need. My family has been to the restaurant so many times that we even have a favorite waitress, Yoon, who has worked there for years. If you get a chance to go to Yachtsman, I really hope you get her as a server because she is a riot! One big family trip, we went out with my whole extended family for a dinner at Yachtsman. My dad showed up late to dinner because his golf game ran past our reservation time. Yoon made sure to call him out for being late and joked around with us the entire night! You can tell the servers at Yachtsman really love what they do and are completely invested in making sure you have a wonderful experience when you dine there.

I suggest going to Yachtsman on an “off” day from the parks. Maybe on a pool side, water park, or downtown Disney day! It is a nicer restaurant, so you have to get a little dressed up. I know I hate coming out of the parks early and then having to shower and dress up when I am tired from being out all day.

Now for the good stuff, the actual food. When you first walk into the restaurant, you will notice a small butcher room with meats aging and sometimes, an actual butcher making his cuts. Yachtsman means business with their steaks. They have a variety to choose from, ranging from the porterhouse to the filet mignon to the rib-eye and New York strip. The highlight of the beginning of dinner is the warm dinner rolls and onion bread they give you. My mom swears by the onion bread with roasted garlic that they provide. I could eat a whole basket of those onion rolls- they are heavenly. The last time I went, I ordered the 8-oz filet mignon, covered in Cabernet Wine Sauce. I passed on the side of mashed potatoes that the entree came with and went for something a little more my style. Three words: Truffle Mac ‘n Cheese. Out of this world. I am an avid mac ‘n cheese fan, so I know some good mac ‘n cheese when I taste it. For dessert, I got the Yachtsman Sundae, which is a trio of gelato. It was very good, but I would personally skip on dessert at the restaurant to grab ice cream at “Beaches and Cream” next door after dinner! However, for those of you who like salted caramel sweets, I see that they have added a chocolate-peanut cake that has pretzels, salted caramel gelato, and liquid ganache. It sounds like it could be a winner!

The Yachtsman is perfect for a romantic dinner for two or a quiet, sit down family dinner. I can assure you that you will not regret your visit. The restaurant has many good things to pick from that I couldn’t highlight in this short post, so please check out the menu !

This week’s recipe is for the delicious truffle mac ‘n cheese that I mentioned! The recipe comes from wdwrecipes.com and apparently was obtained by contacting Disney directly (has to be good!).
