Disney’s Yacht Club Resort is a beautiful location that brings the nautical elegance of a New England seaside Resort to life through upscale architecture, décor, amenities, recreation, and more. Guests who stay at or visit the Disney Resort love enjoying a meal at Yachtsman Steakhouse, a table service location that is open for dinner each night and serves up some of the most delicious steaks and menu items at the Walt Disney World Resort.

Yachtsman Steakhouse features an upscale and elegant setting that immediately transports Guests to the seaside through its décor and beautiful views of the lighthouse and Crescent Lake just outside the windows. Featuring several dining areas, most of the Yachtsman Steakhouse charms Guests with rustic pine beams, subtly patterned carpeting, crisp white tablecloths, nautical details adorning the walls, and light fixtures that mimic lanterns.

One particular room at Yachtsman Steakhouse features a curved wall of windows looking out at Crescent Lake that is accented with a deep teal color, rounded windows that mimic portholes, and stately wooden beams. The ceiling in this room is the most stunning feature, and Guests can look up to find a large, lantern-themed chandelier in the center of wavy wooden accents and a series of windows that would look at home on the back of a stately vintage ship.

Yachtsman Steakhouse absolutely brings a nautical and upscale feel to its interior, and it is designed to immerse Guests in the setting of a New England-style steakhouse, complete with an in-house dry-aging room. The dinner menu features mouthwatering options including some of the freshest seafood at the Walt Disney World Resort as well as indulgent steakhouse cuts that Guests will love enjoying.

A great way to begin any meal at Yachtsman Steakhouse is by ordering up beverages for the table, and the restaurant features an extensive menu of soft drinks, coffee beverages, teas, beer, wine, and more. Those who are looking to truly indulge can also order up a specialty cocktail, scotch or cognac selection, or even an after-dinner flight with wine and scotch options.

Moving on to appetizers, Yachtsman Steakhouse features several delicious options including light starts, like the Caesar Salad with marinated white anchovies and olive oil croutons and the Steakhouse Wedge Salad with candied bacon, farmhouse eggs, radish, and smoky blue cheese vinaigrette. Guests can also enjoy rich French Onion Soup or indulgent Beef Carpaccio served with truffle aioli, Parmesan, fried capers, grilled artichoke, and smoked sea salt.

Those who are looking to begin their meal with fresh seafood options can opt for the very popular Lobster Bisque, which is creamy and thick and served with lobster biscuits, crème Fraiche, and espelette oil. The other seafood appetizer option is the classic Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail, which is poached in Old Bay seasoning and served with lemon and house-made cocktail sauce.

The butcher’s cut steaks are obviously what Yachtsman Steakhouse is most popular for, and Guests have several indulgent options to choose from for their entrees, each of which is served with one accompaniment selection such as mashed potatoes, potatoes-leek gratin, or house-made French fries. Enhancements can also be added to each butcher’s cut steak and Guests will love decadent choices like Oscar-style with Alaskan King Crab, asparagus, and Bearnaise, or olive-oil poached Half Maine Lobster.

There are four butchers cut steaks to select from at Yachtsman Steakhouse, some of which can be seen hanging in the dry-aging room when entering the restaurant. Guests can opt for the 8-oz Filet Mignon served with cognac-truffle butter, the 14-oz Roasted Prime Rib with horseradish cream and au jus, 16-oz Rib-Eye Steak accompanied by blue-cheese shallot butter, or the 12-oz New York Strip Steak with brandy-peppercorn sauce.

In addition to the butcher’s cut steaks, there are also several other land and sea entrée options at Yachtsman Steakhouse for Guests who are looking for something different. Guests who are still looking for a meat-based meal can enjoy the Dry-Aged Duroc Pork Chop with heirloom grits, charred rappini, and apple-cognac gastrique, or the Peruvian-Barbecued Chicken with colusari red rice, Brussels sprouts, fennel, and piquillo sauce.

Fresh seafood options are also available to Guests dining at Yachtsman Steakhouse, beginning with the Chef’s Catch of the Day, which rotates daily and is served with a charred tomatillo sauce, sunchokes, chorizo, pearl onions, and cilantro espuma. Also available is the delicious Seafood Cioppino which features a generous portion of shrimp, scallops, clams, mussels, Ludic Absinthe, and fregola sarda.

Yachtsman Steakhouse is a largely traditional steakhouse, but there are also certain options to meet dietary preferences or restrictions, ensuring that there is something on the menu for every Guest to enjoy. The Sweet Potato and Seasonal Mushroom Dumplings are a plant-based entrée option that are accompanied by haricot vert, petite sorrel, and soubise.

Guests who are looking to truly indulge in an over-the-top meal at Yachtsman Steakhouse can choose from two Chef’s Signature Options which are designed to be shared between two Guests. The 28-oz Porterhouse for Two comes served with cognac-truffle butter and the choice of two steakhouse sides, and is the perfect romantic meal to share while dining at Yachtsman Steakhouse for dinner.

The other Chef’s Signature Offering menu option is the ultimate seafood indulgence that two Guests can share together. The Chilled Admiral’s Tower for Two is a massive and impressive serving of Maine lobster, snow crab, tuna tartar, jumbo shrimp, mussels, scallop ceviche, and charred octopus salad.

No traditional steakhouse meal is complete without some classic sides, and Guests can order up as many as they would like to accompany their delicious butcher’s cut steaks and more. Steakhouse side selections at Yachtsman Steakhouse include Truffle Macaroni & Cheese, Roasted Seasonal Mushrooms, Creamed Spinach, Grilled Colossal Asparagus with Meyer lemon vinaigrette, House-made Truffle Fries, and Haricot Vert with Parmesan cream and crispy shallots.

After so many delicious appetizers and entrée options, Guests might find themselves completely stuffed, but Yachtsman Steakhouse also serves up some totally decadent dessert options, including one specialty item that celebrates the Walt Disney World Resort’s 50 th anniversary. Celebrating Layers of Magic features a rich chocolate cake with alternating layers of caramel and espresso mousse, chocolate chiffon with salted caramel crunch, chocolate ganache, and cassis cake and cream garnished with cocoa nib tuile and coconut-cassis sauce.

The Yachtsman Chocolate Cake is a very popular dessert option big enough for two Guests that features a chocolate decadence cake, dark chocolate mousse, mixed berry curd, peanut butter crunch, and mousse. Other dessert options at Yachtsman Steakhouse include Strawberry Shortcake, Crème Brulée with pickled local blueberries, orange, and candied Meyer lemon, and the plant-based Pineapple and Coconut Tart.

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

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.

4 thoughts on “ Review: Dinner at the Yachtsman Steakhouse Wasn’t All Smooth Sailing ”

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. 🙂

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.

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.

Ultimate Review of Disney's Yacht Club Resort

A convenient, elegant Disney hotel that is also kid-friendly? While this may seem to be something almost impossible to find, Disney’s Yacht Club Resort absolutely fits the bill. The nautical theme makes for a classy feel, while the location and amenities make it perfect for families.

I first had the opportunity to check out the Disney Yacht Club (part of Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club Resort complex) during the Disney Social Media Moms Conference (where I got a discount on my room). I more recently returned for a three-night stay during a solo Disney trip to see the renovated rooms. The Disney Yacht Club is a fabulous option for families visiting Walt Disney World to consider.

Note: As an attendee of the Disney Social Media Moms conference, I received discounts and perks, although I did pay a fee to attend. I am a former member of the Disney Parks Moms Panel, and all opinions are my own. During my second stay, I paid for my entire stay in full on my own.

A Review of Disney’s Yacht Club Resort

Location of the disney world yacht club.

Disney’s Yacht Club Resort is located in the EPCOT area of the resort , adjacent to the Beach Club Resort . While the Beach Club is more fun and casual, the Yacht Club is a more elegant resort. It seems to be a little quieter than the Beach Club. However, I found that it is still entirely kid-friendly.

Transportation to the parks from the Yacht Club is fairly easy. There’s a direct bus to the Magic Kingdom (or sometimes a shared bus with the Beach Club), a shared bus to Animal Kingdom, and boats to EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studio . 

The buses now have a sign above the station showing when the next bus is scheduled to arrive. This makes things so much easier because you’ll at least have an idea of how long you’ll need to wait. Bus times are also accessible via the My Disney Experience app.

It’s also very easy to walk to EPCOT’s World Showcase – we did that rather than taking the boat. It’s just a short walk. You can also walk to Disney’s Hollywood Studios, although that is a longer walk.

The new Skyliner is also accessible from the Yacht Club. Although there isn’t a station at the resort, there is one at the International Gateway at EPCOT and one at the front of Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

If you enjoy dining at EPCOT, it’s a great location because you can enter the park through the back entrance (called the International Gateway) for dinner (just make sure you have the park hopper option on your ticket if you are planning to visit another park that day).

You’ll also easily be able to walk to the Disney Boardwalk area, as well as the Swan and Dolphin Resorts. That gives you a much larger selection of restaurants that are conveniently located.

Disney Yacht Club Rooms

During my first stay, I was there for four nights, in a garden-view standard room. While the view wasn’t too exciting (we overlooked a tennis court), we weren’t in the room long enough to even bother opening the shade.

During my second stay, I was in a room that faced another building. Again, I wasn’t in the room for very long, so the view really wasn’t something that I was concerned about. Unless you plan to spend a lot of time in the room, I wouldn’t pay extra for a view.

Rooms at the Yacht Club have been recently renovated, and are comfortable and elegant. Gone are the rugs and the floors seem much easier to keep clean. Bring along socks if you want to have them on the bare floor.

Amenities in the room include a Keurig coffee maker (with decaf and regular coffee options), a refrigerator, a flat-screen television, a hairdryer, and an iron. Rooms include a bathroom with a separate double sink outside (great when traveling with teens because one person can get ready while another is showering).

A nice selection of bath amenities is available in the room. These newly designed rooms also have lots of outlets and USB ports, which are great for charging all of your devices.

There are various room configurations available. During my most recent stay, I had a room with one king bed, a chair, and a desk. For families, your best option is the 2 Queen Beds and 1 Day Bed room option. There are also rooms with a Twin-Size Sleeper Chair and rooms with a King Bed and a Day Bed.

There are also various views offered, including a standard view room (which is usually of a roof or a parking lot), woods view, or water view (which would be a view of the quiet pool or Crescent Lake). Again, I wouldn’t pay for an upgraded view unless you really think you’ll take advantage of it.

Club-level rooms are also available. These include access to the club level with complimentary food and drinks available all day long, as well as a separate concierge. 

Amenities at Disney’s Yacht Club Resort

The Yacht Club features a number of fabulous amenities, some of which are shared with the adjacent Beach Club. Our favorite is Stormalong Bay, the 3-acre water complex featuring a small lazy river, a sandy-bottomed pool, a waterslide, and three whirlpools. It’s my favorite of the Walt Disney World Resort pools, and you have to be a guest at either the Beach or Yacht Club to be able to enjoy it.

If you are staying at the Yacht Club, I definitely recommend saving at least an afternoon to spend time at Stormalong Bay, especially if you are visiting during the warmer weather. In addition to that complex, the Yacht and Beach Club resorts also offer three quieter pools, if you are looking for a more low-key experience.

For guests who would like to save some money on their vacation, you can even forgo a day at the parks to spend time at the resort. You could easily spend a day at Stormalong Bay.

I would also recommend doing this on a day when you visit one of the special events in the evening – like Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party. That way, you can relax a little bit before going to the party.

There are lots of other amenities at the Disney Yacht Club resort, including an arcade, salon, fitness club, and tennis courts. There are also motorized boat rentals available, as well as fishing and volleyball.

Movies under the stars and campfire activities are also offered. See the resort for a full schedule. All of these activities, like Stormalong Bay, are shared with the Beach Club.

Disney Yacht Club Restaurants

If you are looking to dine at the resort, there are a number of restaurants and bars at the two resorts. Some of them are on the Disney Dining plan. Like most Disney restaurants, you’ll want to make reservations as far in advance as possible (the lounges and quick-service locations, however, do not require or accept reservations).

The Yachtsman Steakhouse : this premium restaurant offers delicious steak and seafood entrees. It’s a signature restaurant, and perfect if you are looking for a special dinner. Keep in mind that as a signature restaurant, a dress code applies.

Cape May Cafe : Located in the Beach Club, the Cape May Cafe is home to a fun character breakfast in the morning and a coastal seafood buffet in the evening. I find that the character breakfast is a great, more low-key option, than the ones in the parks, so I’d recommend it if you are staying at one of the two resorts. It can usually be easier to get reservations there, but you’ll still want to make them in advance.

Martha’s Vineyard Lounge: This lounge is tucked between the two resorts and is a great place to grab a drink before or after dinner.

Ale and Compass Restaurant & Lounge : This newer restaurant and lounge is a great new option at the Yacht Club. It’s a little more casual than the Yachtsman but is still very elegant. The coastal, New England-inspired cuisine is delicious.

Beaches and Cream Soda Shop: This old-fashioned ice cream and soda shop offers regular food along with dessert. It’s currently closed for renovations and is supposed to reopen in the winter.

Hurricane Hanna’s Waterside Bar and Grill : Located at Stormalong Bay, Hurricane Hanna’s offers food and drinks. It’s perfect if you are spending the day at the pool.

Crew’s Cup Lounge: This lounge located in the Yacht Club offers appetizers, entrees, and a large selection of signature cocktails, beer, and wine.

The Beach Club Marketplace and The Market at Ale & Compass : These two quick-service locations (one at the Beach Club and one at the Yacht Club) are great places for a quick bite. This is also where you can purchase and fill your refillable mugs.

You’ll also be just a short walk away from the restaurants at the Boardwalk , EPCOT, and the Swan and Dolphin.
