What is Yachtsman Steakhouse at Walt Disney World? 

Yachtsman Steakhouse is a signature dining restaurant located at Disney’s Yacht Club Resort. The restaurant is only open for dinner and is known for its incredible steaks , sides, and desserts. 

And believe me, you DON’T want to skip this Disney dining spot on your vacation!

What is the Vibe like inside Yachtsman Steakhouse?

Since the restaurant is only open for dinner the vibe is very adult. This is a great date night spot for couples , or a treat yourself type mean for solo travelers. 

You’ll feel as if you’re whisked away on a nautical escapade through the great North East of America.

The interior is quite cozy and far away from what you’d expect at a Walt Disney World restaurant.

How Do I get a reservation at Yachtsman Steakhouse? 

The easiest way to get a reservation for Yachtsman Steakhouse is through the My Disney Experience app. 

You can also make reservations on the Walt Disney World website or by calling the reservation center at Walt Disney World.

A word of warning though, the latter of the two options is not the most efficient and phone calls to Disney have been taking upwards of two hours just to talk to someone. 

If you do see a reservation for the restaurant you should go ahead and book it even if it’s not at your intended dining time, because it’s always easier to modify an existing reservation versus make a new one. 

If you decide you don’t want to dine at Yachtsman Steakhouse after you’ve reserved a table, you can cancel without penalty up to 24 hours before your reservation.

What if I Can’t get a reservation for Yachtsman Steakhouse? 

There are a few options if you can’t get a reservation for Yachtsman Steakhouse before your trip to Walt Disney World.

The first is to get to the restaurant right when it opens at 5:00 p.m. and see if you can be seated.

Another option is to eat in the nearby lounge, Crews Cup , which is currently serving the exact same menu as Yachtsman Steakhouse.

Crews Cup Lounge 

The Crews Cup Lounge is located right next door to Yachtsman Steakhouse. Its vibe is very relaxed with tables, booths, and bar seating.

This lounge used to have its own unique menu , but post-pandemic the original menu has not returned and the lounge is serving the Yachtsman Steakhouse menu. 

If you are able to snag a table inside the Crews Cup Lounge, try to get the table near the window looking into the dry-aging room at Yachtsman Steakhouse.

Through the window, you can see the steaks being expertly cut by the restaurant’s butcher for service as guests order.

What’s on the Menu at Yachtsman Steakhouse? 

Yachtsman Steakhouse only serves dinner and everything on the menu is a la carte, meaning every item you order is a certain price. 

Meals start out with a bread basket filled with savory pull-apart onion rolls and cherry multigrain sourdough rolls.

Bread Service

The bread is served with the restaurant’s signature roasted garlic and salted butter.

Yes, that means you can literally smear pieces of roasted garlic and slather butter all over these delightful breads.

When it comes to starters, I really enjoy the French Onion Soup , which is perfectly rich with plenty of onions, sourdough croutons, and topped with melted gruyère cheese. You definitely have to try the Beef Carpaccio as well.

Also the famous Caesar Salad is perfect here!

Entrees and Dessert at the Yachtsman Steakhouse

Entrees obviously mean having a steak , and no matter which one you choose it comes with a sauce or butter, and your choice of side. I always order the 14-ounce roasted prime rib with horseradish cream.

Each entree comes with your choice of accompaniment, with either mashed potatoes, potato-leek gratin, or house-made French fries. I typically choose the gratin or the fries. 

When dinner is done, do not leave the restaurant without trying one of the delicious desserts.

The signature dessert at the restaurant is the Yachtsman’s Chocolate Cake, which is made with dark chocolate mousse, chocolate cake, mixed berry curd, peanut butter crunch, and mousse, and serves two.

This is one thing I love to get even if I’m dining alone so I can take the leftovers back to my Disney hotel room and munch on them the next night too.

What to Know Before You Go to This Disney World Restaurant

You likely have a few more questions about the Yachtsman Steakhouse , so I want to be sure to answer those as well. 

Does Yachtsman Steakhouse take any discounts? 

Yes, you’ll be happy to know that Annual Passholders can get 10 percent off of their bill here. 

Does Yachtsman Steakhouse have a dress code? 

Yes, it’s requested that men wear khakis, slacks, or dress shirts with a collared shirt, and women should wear capri pants, skirts, dresses, or dress shorts.

My Final Thoughts and Review of Yachtsman Steakhouse

Yachtsman Steakhouse is a lovely option for dining at Walt Disney World, whether you’re traveling alone or going out with friends, or on a date night. 

Here are a few tips to ensure your experience at Yachtsman Steakhouse is the best that it can be. 

• Security at the front of the Yacht Club can be very strict about who they let into the parking lot at the hotel.
• If you don’t have a confirmed dining reservation at the Yachtsman Steakhouse , your better option for dining here will be to take a ride share or take the Disney Skyliner . This is best if you’re staying at one of the resorts that the transportation service goes to and from. 
• I f you’re at EPCOT and want a break from the park and think Yachtsman Steakhouse sounds like a nice place, you’ll want to walk to the back of the park to the International Gateway to get to the Yacht Club and to the restaurant.

Yachtsman Steakhouse Review

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Are you a fan of Yachtsman Steakhouse? Share your thoughts, especially any experiences with their other (glorious?) cuts of meat, in the comments!

Overall Score: 10/10

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

California Grill would be very nice!

Yachtsman Steakhouse Review

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Overall Rating – 9.5/10

Yachtsman Steakhouse Full Review

By Author Ziggy Oskwarek

Posted on Last updated: July 24, 2019

Yachtsman Steakhouse offers a variety of amazing food including some great seafood dishes, but they really specialize in…you guessed it… Red Meat , big juicy slabs of it!  In fact many put it in the conversation for best steak on property .  Being a Signature Restaurant means you won’t find a cheap meal here, but I’ve always found the quality to equal the price.  Also a certain “business casual” dress code is required so I wouldn’t come in a tank top and flip-flops. 😉

Yachtsman’s often gets a bit overlooked because of having to travel to the Yacht Club to eat there and is also viewed as being a bit “stuffy.”  But is that the case?  How does it compare with other Steak heavyweights such as Le Cellier, Shula’s and Jiko?

It’s been a few years so I wanted to do a Yachtsman Steakhouse Full Review.  I’m hoping that the good experiences we’ve had there in the past continue over this time….let’s find out!

Atmosphere:

To get to Yachtsman you’ll need to find your way to the Yacht Club Resort and make your way out to the back by the pool.  You can either take transportation to Epcot, Hollywood Studios or one of the other Epcot Resorts like the Boardwalk Resort, Beach Club or Swan and Dolphin.  To make it easy I would recommend doing either Epcot or Hollywood Studios the same day and then just either walk over to the Yacht Club Resort or take a Boat from the park.

If your coming from along the waterside of the resort then eventually you will run into the Back Entrance of the Yacht Club here:

The first thing you see when you walk in is the Meat Dry Aging Room where the butchers cut and prepare the steaks:

All the meat at the Yachtsman Steakhouse is cut in-house , you you know you’re getting a fresh quality steak, not something that’s been prepackaged.

Here’s the butcher going to work:

Look at that concentration, even with the camera in his face he didn’t look up once! 😉  Here’s a shot of the meat once he’s done cutting it:

Those are some good-looking steaks!!

If you look to the left into the Bar , you’ll start to get more of a feel for the decor.  Pine wood beams line the high ceiling, along with beautiful chandeliers:

A cool feature that’s a part of many upscale Disney restaurants is the Open-Kitchen:

Turn right and you’ll find the entrance to the Main Dining Hall:

Some people complain about the decor, they even find it stuffy or snobbish.  Personally I love the natural wood and soft tones you find throughout.  It’s supposed to be reminiscent of a sea-faring New England town, and that’s exactly what it delivers.  You’re not going to be blown away by the decor, like in a place like Moritmoto’s, but that’s ok because that’s not the focal point here, it’s the food.

The Main Dining Room is a large and open space.  Again more rich colors from the wood:

The lighting in here is excellent, especially when the sun is still out due to the large windows overlooking the Pool at Stormalong Bay.  That’s refreshing as at some steakhouses you practically have to bring a flashlight with you in order to see:

This room is gorgeous and has a great view of outside:

One of the tables in the main dining room:

This is the back dining room and probably the most intimate room at Yachtsman.  If you are looking for more quiet and privacy ask for here:

Or you can ask for one of the booths which are lovely:

Notice the gorgeous, clean light fixtures on the beams:

More typical sea-faring gear lines the walls like this Ship’s Wheel:

Some lovely paintings line the wall….of yachts of course:

Ok, we’re done looking around and we’re ready for the food!

As I already mentioned we came here for Steak, and lots of it, as that’s obviously the specialty of the house.  All the beef is high-quality and grain-fed which is cut and aged in-house and prepared on an oak-fired grill in the open kitchen.  That results in some of the tastiest steak anywhere in Walt Disney World.  If your wallet is feeling full and you want a dining experience you’ll never forget, then go for the 32 oz Porterhouse for Two or the 100% Japanese Wagyu Beef Strip Loin , they cost $119 and $125 respectively, but they will change your life!

Besides steak Yachtsman offers some other delicious options including F resh Seafood like Lobster, Salmon and Shrimp.   Expect to find typical Steakhouse appetizers and sides like Soups and Salads, Mushrooms, Creamed Spinach and Truffle Mac and Cheese.

Like many Disney restaurants, the menu tends to have some staples you can find year-round and then some options that are seasonal, so if you don’t find exactly the same things we had during our visit you can probably find something similar or even better when you go!

Look at these beauties…freshly cut and dry-aged.  It’s going to be so hard to choose….

That 21 Day Dry-aged Kansas City Strip looks amazing:

To start off our meal the right way we ordered a bottle of Robert Mondavi Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2013 , ok really 2 bottles but who’s counting?  The wine itself was excellent, balanced with a great structure and perfect for…steak!

They first brought us out our complimentary Bread Basket , this thing was amazing!

The first and yummiest bread was the Onion Brioche-style rolls that were out of this world!  They were pull-apart and had a light, airy texture inside that was incredible!  Look at that inside which I had slathered with butter:

Besides that there were also more traditional Sourdough Rolls that were also delicious:

The Butter Plate here was something special because not only did it have fresh butter with Coarse Sea Salt on top, but each plate also had a humongous Roasted Garlic Clove as well!  It was soooo good and my wife was soooo mad at me for eating it! 😉

Next we had a Caesar Salad ($12) with Romaine Lettuce, Parmigiano Reggiano, Coppa Secca and Focaccia Crouton.  Really is there any other type of salad to be had??

I’m a self-proclaimed expert on Caesar Salads and have eaten my share, but this thing was no joke!  It was a very big portion, even enough to share if you’re into that sort of thing.  The lettuce was really fresh and crisp and the Parmigiano was sliced super thin so you could really taste the sharpness of the flavors.  The dressing is what usually makes the Caesar salad and this one was awesome!!  It’s made in house and wasn’t goopy or sweet.

Next was the French Onion Soup ($12) which had a Sourdough Crouton and was covered in Gruyere Cheese:

This is perfection right here…

Stringy cheese makes me  :))))))))

Since it was nearly impossible to stand within 10 feet of us now after 2 courses a piece with either garlic or onion in them we decided to change it up. We went with the Lobster Bisque ($13) which is made with fresh Maine Lobster, Creme Fraiche, fine herbs and lemon:

We also tried the Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail ($19) which had a bit of Old Bay sprinkled on and came with lemon and a homemade cocktail sauce:

Get ready to get your carnivore on, because we’ve made our choices of Entrees and they are sent off to the kitchen to be cooked over that Oak-fired Grill:

First up was the 12oz New York Strip Steak ($49) with a Peppercorn Brandy Sauce and Potato Gratin:

You can see how nice that inside is:

Next was the 10oz Black Angus Filet Mignon ($54) with Mashed Potatoes and a Cabernet Wine Sauce:

Lastly was they one I was really anticipating, the 16oz Prime Rib Eye Steak ($54) covered in Blue Cheese Butter and served with a Brioche and Bone Marrow :

This thing is what dreams are made of!  The very first bite my wife said it’s the best steak she’s ever had:

Being rib-eye this thing was bursting with flavor, then covered in blue cheese butter it made everything so rich and juicy and brought it to even another level of amazingness.  It was a giant piece of meat that we ended up splitting between the two of us:

It was just the right tenderness and melted right in your mouth, especially in the middle.  Just overall awesome and one of the best steaks I’ve ever had!

It was accompanied with Bone Marrow and a Brioche .  Now maybe the idea of sucking marrow from a cow’s bone doesn’t exactly get your appetite going, but once you try it, it will!  The Italian name is Osso Buco and it’s a traditional dish from Milan and my wife goes absolutely crazy for it.  Being the expert she said it compared well to others she’s had before and was very succulent inside.

Lastly we got an order of Truffle Macaroni and Cheese ($12) , because obviously till that point we were really having a light meal!  It was made from Orecchiette Pasta (which means “little ears”), Reypenaer cheese and of course truffles:

There were also a bit of crisped stringy onions on top which added a nice texture.  The pasta was creamy and cheesy but you really have to like truffles to like this mac and cheese, the flavor is very strong.  My brother-in-law was crazy about it, he thought it was really unreal.  I personally thought the taste was a bit too strong, so it depends on tastes.

Of course even though at this point I was so stuffed that I needed to be rolled out of the restaurant, I wouldn’t leave you without at least a taste of Dessert.  I was the only one brave enough to confront it!  I got the Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake ($10) with Lemon Curd and Blueberry Crumble:

Lastly, one thing I haven’t touched on was the service.  The service here was some of the best I’ve ever had at any restaurant ANYWHERE .  We had 2 waiters assigned to our table all night as one was in training and the other was observing but helping him.  At first I thought we were in trouble because of having a waiter-in-training, but he blew us away!  He knew everything, literally everything about the menu and every recommendation he made to us turned out to be true.  I wish I remembered his name because I would highly recommend him to you.  This is what signature dining service should be like!

Overall we had a wonderful experience at the Yachtsman Steakhouse, it was even better than the last time we came.  The atmosphere won’t blow you away, but it’s warm, clean, it isn’t loud and is a nice place if you are looking for a quiet romantic meal.  The food was of excellent quality, the appetizers like Caesar Salad, French Onion Soup and the Lobster Bisque were all outstanding .  The Steaks themselves were unbelievable and do live up to the reputation as being one of the best 2 or 3 steakhouses on property.  Where exactly?  I’ll have to think about it and make a list soon, but Yachtsman is right up there.

I found the prices to be expensive, but in-line with other Disney Signature Restaurants.  If you are a carnivore like me then you will appreciate it and Yachtsman has to be on your list of must-try restaurants in Walt Disney World.  It’s a must do for sure if you are staying at one of the Epcot Resorts as it’s within walking distance from them, and it makes a great date-night location without the kids or for a special occasion.  Try it, you won’t be disappointed!

Yachtsman Steakhouse is a Dinner only restaurant and is open from roughly 5:00pm – 9:30pm Daily .  The Disney Dining Plan is also accepted, it is a 2 Disney Dining Credit Signature Restaurant.   Reservations can be made via the Disney World website or by calling (407) WDW-DINE .

My name is Ziggy and I love Disney, everything Disney! I grew up on Disney and it has and continues to be a huge part of my life. I started young when my parents took me to Disney World when I was 18 months old. Little did they know that would be the first of an uncountable number of trips we would take. I have so many amazing memories going to Disney with my family and friends and it has been interwoven into my DNA.

I just had that same Caesar's Salad and a prime rib end-cut that was bigger than my head just two weeks ago. I've been going there since opening in 1990 and I couldn't have written a more detailed and accurate assessment of the Yachtsmen than you did. Love that place.

How to get to the Yachtsman Steakhouse

If you are staying on property, there are a few different transportation options you can take in order to get to Yachtsman Steakhouse.

If you are staying at any of the EPCOT resorts — including Disney’s Yacht Club, Disney’s Beach Club , Disney’s Boardwalk , Walt Disney World Swan Hotel, or Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel — you can either walk to Disney’s Yacht Club by following the path around the lake, or you can opt to take the friendship boat. This also goes for if you are visiting the EPCOT theme park for the day, you can either walk over to Disney’s Yacht Club or take the friendship boat. Be sure to use the park exit near World Showcase and not the main entrance.

If you are staying at any of the other Walt Disney World hotels on property, you can either take a complimentary bus to one of the theme parks (or to Disney Springs) and catch a bus to Disney’s Yacht Club from there.

If you are visiting Disney’s Hollywood Studios for the day and want to get to Yachtsman Steakhouse from the theme park, you can take the friendship boats directly to Disney’s Yacht Club by utilizing the launch outside of the park entrance.

If you are visiting one of the other theme parks, either Magic Kingdom or Disney’s Animal Kingdom, you can take a bus directly to Disney’s Yacht Club.

And lastly, if you opted, you could also use the Lyft app to call for a car to take you directly there, however, this is not complimentary, and depending on where you are located on the Disney World property, it can cost you upwards of a few dollars. For more information on using Lyft at Disney World, visit our website here.

My husband and I booked a reservation here for the last night of our honeymoon. We were really looking forward to a nice dinner for our last night. The service wasn’t great, we waited 50 minutes for our entrees. My husbands steak was ice cold and completely raw in the middle. Our server was nowhere to be found and it took us 15 minutes just to track someone down to get a new one. The overall food and service was not worth the price tag. I’d skip this place in the future.

Excellent! Sophisticated atmosphere but not stuffy. The food is divine. We started with a shrimp cocktail and wedge salad that came with a rich blue cheese vinaigrette. My mom and I got the spare ribs which were complete with mashed potatoes, spinach, and carrots. It was delicious and juicy. Dad and my sister got steaks. The steaks do not come with a side so you will need to order the sides al a carte. We got the truffle Mac & cheese which was heavenly, definitely recommend. We also got the sauté mushrooms which needed more sauce. The strawberry shortcake desert was light and fresh, a perfect ending to a hearty meal. In all I would definitely recommend this to a group of adults who are looking for fine dining in a more relaxed atmosphere.

While our waiter was excellent, the food was average at best and that’s being generous. Everything had too much salt and the filet was overcooked…my wife’s was ok. We haven’t been there for years and this reinforces our disappointment. The Caymus Cab was the best part of the meal. We cannot recommend this restaurant to anyone who’s ever been to an upscale steak house.

If you want a special night out definitely don't go here. Extremely loud , slow service and cold meals. Wait Staff and kitchen overwhelmed. Waited 45 minutes for shrimp cocktail and an additional hour for our meals that arrived luke warm. Not at the level we've come to expect from Disney restaurants.

I think this is the best steakhouse on property. This doesn’t have the frills of some of the other steakhouses when it comes to signature sides or toppings but for my money this is the best pure steak money can buy at Disney.

This is our favorite restaurant. We've had great meals and great drinks every time we've eaten there. We try to get there early so we can have a drink or two at the bar first. Couldn't go the last time (beginning of February) but we will make sure to get reservations next trip.

We celebrated our anniversary by trying Yachtsman Steakhouse for the first time. We were seated at a fairly private table by a window in a small-ish dining room. The food was very good - it was the 2nd best filet mignon I had on property. Our server was very good, and she replaced our bottle of wine when we discovered it was the wrong variety (it was the same vintner but the wrong variety, which we discovered on tasting it). She apologized and found that it was in the wrong bin, so she had to discover where the correct bottles were stored. I hope they put that other bottle of wine to good use. The dining tables are spaced out well and we never felt crowded. The restaurant had an acceptable noise level. We didn't see or hear any unruly kids that night.

Reviewed by JPrince3076 Review Date: 12/05/2021

Yes the Steaks and Seafood are the best on property, the appetizers are World class, however it is the outstanding staff that make Yachtsman the best dining venue at WDW. They are hands down the epitome of what all cast members should strive to be. We always say that anyone working in food service at Disney should be required to spend six months training here.

Review: Dinner at the Yachtsman Steakhouse Wasn’t All Smooth Sailing

The Yachtsman Steakhouse is a Signature Dining restaurant at Disney’s Yacht Club resort. With “hand-cut, dry-aged steaks”, Disney positions the restaurant as a high-end stop for steak, and you’ll find it priced accordingly. Appetizers are $16-22, entrees $38-65, and desserts $15-20. A full three-course meal will run you about $80-95, not including drinks and gratuities. As a Signature restaurant, you’ll need to spend 2 Disney Dining Plan credits to dine at the Yachtsman.

The restaurant’s interior leans heavily on polished wood that gives the space a warm, intimate feeling. Although the floor is bare, vertical features and ceiling joists helped to break up noise and we didn’t find that the space was loud.

The Yachtsman serves dinner only, but is open 7 days a week. You’ll often find same-day reservations or walk-up availability. And as a Signature restaurant, the Yachtsman expects guests to be in clean, neat attire – but I felt that clothing was generally more relaxed here than Signatures on the monorail loop.

Bread Course

The bread service was a mix of crusty white dinner rolls and onion rolls, accompanied by roasted garlic and butter sprinkled with sea salt. The white rolls had a nice crust, but not much flavor aside from salt. The onion rolls were the better of the pair, soft and tender with the sweet, pungent flavor of onion.

First Course

Caesar Salad – $16.00 Marinated White Anchovies and Croutons

Caesar salad decorates the menus of every mid-range restaurant everywhere, but this one beats all those shlocky salads into the ground. Parmesan shavings instead of shreds, and a tangy, creamy dressing with just a hint of brine that was properly and carefully tossed to coat each leaf. The only flair was the crouton, which was a crackly crisp instead of the traditional cubes. This salad reminds you why Caesar salad is so popular that poorly executed versions became ubiquitous.

Lobster Bisque – $18.00 Lobster Biscuit / Crème Fraîche / Espelette Oil

I really loved the little pop of spice from the espelette oil in this bisque. The texture was perfect – creamy enough to hold up the swirls of crème fraîche and let the brightly colored oil dance on top, but still clearly a soup and not a porridge. The lobster biscuit was less of a biscuit and more of a bread cube, but provided the same overt lobster flavor that is usually served up with a few chunks of lobster meat. I liked the biscuit, but if I had a complaint about this soup that was it; no lobster meat. The biscuit just didn’t cut through the richness of the bisque in the same way.

Beef Carpaccio – $17.00 Truffle Aïoli, Parmesan, Fried Capers, Grilled Artichoke, and Smoked Sea Salt

I enjoyed this, but I feel it’s only fair to disclose that I adore carpaccio and pretty much always order it if it’s on the menu. So while I’m not sorry about this choice, I know that it did have a few faults. The biggest challenge of preparing carpaccio is that the contribution of the meat is fragile because the slices are so thin. It’s easy to overwhelm it if there is too much of the strongly flavored parmesan or capers, and that’s what happened here. Individual bites were tasty, although it was hard to get one that included the artichoke without using a knife, but the flavor of the beef was somewhat lost in the mix.

Butcher’s Cuts

12-oz New York Strip Steak, Prime – $59.00 Loaded Baked Potato, Peppercorn Sauce

My steak was perfectly cooked to temperature and nicely seasoned on the outside. It was a terrific platform upon which to try the different sauces (see below) and it tasted good without them too. I swapped the baked potato for a Yorkshire Pudding and it was outstanding. It was so outstanding that it was delicious, crisp outside, and tasty – even though it was unfortunately served cold. I very much enjoyed it, and it would almost certainly have been even better had it arrived still properly hot.

Sauce Flight – $9.00 House Steak Sauce, Béarnaise, Peppercorn, Blue Cheese, Bordelaise

Just for you, dear reader, I threw myself on the altar of sacrifice and ordered the peppercorn sauce on the side so I could try the sauce flight. OK, maybe full disclosure, peppercorn is not usually my favorite and I love to try things. Either way, I ordered my steak with the full rack of sauce.

The béarnaise was without question the best of the bunch. That isn’t just because I like béarnaise sauce, it’s because it was properly executed with the taste and texture you would expect to find in this sauce.

The bordelaise had problems. Bordelaise sauce is traditionally made with caramelized shallots and a strong stock or demi-glace that is sometimes further umami-fied with bone marrow. If you had told me this bordelaise was an onion jam, I would have believed you, and that’s not a good commentary on either the flavor or the texture.

The house steak sauce tasted much more like I would have expected the bordelaise to taste, and I’m kind of hoping that maybe our [excellent] server mislabeled the two when they were brought to the table. Except that house steak sauces don’t typically taste like onion jam either, so …

The blue cheese sauce was the kind that you will love if you love blue cheese on its own, but not if you only love the kind of blue cheese dressing that comes with wings. (That’s me, by the way, so if it’s you I’m not dissing you.) The sauce was creamy and the cheese itself was a nice choice that had enough oomph to assert itself without having the full funk of one that really needs to be the solo star.

The peppercorn was serviceable, but nothing to write home about.

22-oz Angus Bone-In Rib-Eye, Prime – $65.00 Gratin Potatoes, Red Wine Butter

As a plate, this was the clear winner of the two steaks we had. This steak was also perfectly cooked to temperature and with a nicely seasoned exterior; this one had more of a crust. The meat had the tender, slightly unctuous texture that you would expect from a good ribeye. And, all the accompaniments stood up. The red wine butter was tasty and brought an extra dimension to the steak, and the gratin potatoes were a lovely stack of melty gruyere goodness. Perhaps a tiny bit on the salty side, but that is often a matter of taste.

Steakhouse Sides

Creamed Spinach – $10.50

It  is possible to make creamed spinach that doesn’t feel heavy and rich. But while this one was excellent, with the spinach flavor clearly present, it was not light. When you order it alongside a heavy, rich meal, be prepared. I really wished that I hadn’t been staying in a hotel room so I could have taken this home and eaten it the next day.

Hot Honey-Bourbon Brussels Sprouts – $12.50 Chili-candied Walnuts

Roasted Brussels sprouts, with crisp leaves and a bit of char, are all the rage these days, and it’s easy to see why a chef would want to add some hot honey and candied walnuts to make their version stand out. Alas, we couldn’t particularly taste the hot honey more than “these were dressed a bit with something a bit sweet”. The walnuts were chopped quite small and their flavor was also a bit lost as a result; I would have preferred to see them larger for more contrast.

So, these were nicely roasted and tasty, but nowhere near as special as you might think from the description. In fairness, when we mentioned this to the server she said that they had toned down the hot honey due to complaints from diners who found it too spicy for their liking.

Roasted Seasonal Mushrooms – $10.50

This was the only side that we ate all of. Buttery, woodsy, with a balance of textures from different types of mushrooms that was just right. Delicious either on the steak or off.

Smoked Paprika Fries – $10.50

It’s hard to go wrong with fries, right? These were perhaps the most disappointing dish of the night. They clearly weren’t plain frites, but I couldn’t say any paprika was in evidence – either to be seen on the fries, or tasted in the flavor.

Chocolate Cake – $17.00 Chocolate Biscuit, 65% Dark Chocolate Ganache, Chocolate Buttercream, and Raspberry

This dessert owes everything to the chocolate biscuit. The cake was lovely and rich, but we’ve all had great chocolate cake with great frosting. The chocolate biscuit was … think about that crunchy chocolate stuff that’s in the middle of every Carvel ice cream cake you’ve ever eaten, and then glue it together with the tart sweetness of raspberry. Amazing.

Crème Brûlée – $15.00 Luxardo Cherries, Orange Segments, Whiskey Ganache (Made with or contains alcohol product)

Confession time: when the server described this as having the brulee topping smoked, I did a little mental side-eye. Nothing that showed on my face (at least I hope not), but I was definitely dubious. I can admit when I’m wrong. I was wrong. The cherries were beautiful, the orange segments were orange segments, the custard was a bit sweeter than your average creme brulee but it needed the oomph to hold up to the rest of the dish. But that smoked melted sugar topping!

I’m sure that I cannot describe it adequately because here’s the problem. The best description I can think of is that it had the same vaguely sweet but unfinished rough-bitter hydrocarbon flavor that you get when you set marshmallows on fire and blow them out once the coating is burnt all over. I know that thousands of us eschew the perfectly toasted marshmallow (I’m ace at that, by the way) and instead thrust them into the campfire coals because we love them burnt. But anytime you have to describe a dish using the word “hydrocarbon”, it’s a fail on the food reporting scale.

All I can tell you is that we spent 10 minutes with the server trying to figure out how to come back and get just the creme brulee without having to eat the rest of the meal first.

Wrapping Up

All in all, we found this to be a pretty disappointing meal. Although there were dishes that we enjoyed, the quality was tremendously uneven and the items we loved can (mostly) be found in other places. For the price this meal commanded, it can’t be recommended.

Here’s my advice: if it’s just a great steak that you’re looking for, a superior plate can be had at the Boathouse in Disney Springs or Toledo at Coronado Springs Resort. If you’re looking for a stellar meal with steak on the menu try Citricos, which has an outstanding strip steak — better than what was served here.

If you’re staying at the Yacht or Beach Club and you’re looking for a light meal, wander over to the Yachtsman and see if they have a table. (You can probably check in advance using the Walk-Up Waitlist ). Treat yourself to a great Caesar Salad and maybe a bowl of lobster bisque, and then skip straight to dessert. You know what you need to order there, right? It’s the amazing creme brulee.

We have not been there in the last five years but were regulars in the past. Shall I assume that the menu and the prep have diminished?

I can’t say what it was like 5 years ago (prior to this visit we ate there once, and it was farther in the past than that). But the word on the street from others is that yes, it has diminished. Even if it has not, I can honestly say based on our experience recently that there are much better places to get a steak at Disney World.

Normally I enjoy these reviews but this feels overly harsh when comparing the headline & wrap-up to the actual dish reviews. I was expecting an absolute trainwreck (shipwreck?) but it read as a lot of personal preferences or minor flaws – cold Yorkshire pudding aside which is an insult I can’t let pass.

Maybe it’s more about the cost vs quality?

I hear what you’re saying about it not seeming to add up and I can totally see where you’re coming from as a reader. But as a reviewer, I’d say that’s exactly the reason that there is a headline and a wrap-up. There were 13 dishes reviewed here (bread service, 3 appetizers, 2 steaks, sauce flight, 4 sides, 2 desserts). Of those plates, 1 appetizer, 1 steak plate, the sauce flight, 2 of the 4 sides had errors in composition or execution. That’s a 38% miss rate for a restaurant that – even on the Disney scale – is expensive at a base price of $80-95 for 3 courses.

The problem is: just because an error doesn’t make food taste bad doesn’t mean that dish isn’t a miss. Billing a dish as “smoked paprika fries” is an elevation that you expect from a fine dining restaurant, and it affects a diner’s decision to order something that feels as though it is unique. When what lands on the table is basically plain fries, it doesn’t matter that they’re perfectly good regular fries. Because if the diner knew that when ordering, they might have chosen to try something they didn’t feel they could get elsewhere.

Similarly, that I enjoyed the carpaccio doesn’t mean that my criticism of it was personal preference (which I do try to note when it applies). The fact is, you are not supposed to need a knife to get a complete bite of a carpaccio dish. And, you are supposed to be able to distinctly and clearly taste the beef. I don’t know if you watch Beat Bobby Flay, but there is a repeated theme where he makes something that the judges say “I don’t know if I’d call this a __________, but it was very tasty”. Everyone has their own opinion about whether not being a _____________ should be disqualifying and if it’s a travesty when he wins, but it’s also a TV show. In everyday restaurant eating, diners want to have some confidence that they dish that appears in front of them will match their expectations based on the dish name and description.

And yes, errors like these are more likely to be forgiven in a restaurant that doesn’t bill itself as being high caliber. One of the things that comes with billing as a fine dining establishment is an assumption about how well dishes match their menu descriptions or the standards of the dish. If these problems had occurred at, say, the Grand Floridian Cafe with its much lower price tag, I would still have called them out but probably not had such a harsh take on the overall experience. But also, a restaurant in the weight class of the Grand Floridian Cafe is not as likely to be the one that a vacationing family with a limited budget has chosen as their “big splurge dinner”.

Thanks for taking the time to explain. Never been to this restaurant so not trying to defend it in any way, was just genuinely a bit confused while reading!

No worries – as I said, I see why it could be confusing as a reader. So thanks for asking and giving me a chance to elaborate for anyone else who might be similarly mystified. 🙂
