With so many Signature restaurants to choose from at Disney
World, some may find it difficult to decide on which is best suited for their
*special* dinner night during their Disney vacation. Yachtsman Steakhouse,
located inside Disney's Yacht Club Resort, happens to be my family's favorite
restaurant, Signature or otherwise on Disney Property.
Yachtsman Steakhouse is well known for their high quality,
grain fed beef, aged in house and prepared on an oak fired grill!! Not your
run-of-the-mill steakhouse folks, trust me on this. They also offer a Catch of
the Day dish that has never disappointed us.
Usually, we have been seated fairly quickly, within 10-15
minutes of our ADR time, but we always opt to grab a cocktail before dinner in
the Crew's Cup Lounge, located right inside of the restaurant.
Yachtsman Steakhouse is a perfect restaurant (actually all the
Signatures at Disney World do a fantastic job) for any special occasion meal.
We happened to be celebrating our anniversary a few weeks early, and our server
presented us with two glasses of champagne (on the house!) and wished us many
years of wedded bliss. Now THAT'S how to start an anniversary dinner! (You
would think I could have atleast taken a picture, nope not me!) Why?? cuz
that's how I roll when I have a glass of champagne in my hand LOL. We finished
our toast and it was on to an amazing dinner!
Here's our cocktails from Crews Cup Lounge...
Belvedere Lemon Drop Martini
This is me and my sister in law's tradition at Yachtsman's.
Lemon Drop Martinis are good to begin with, but made with Belvedere vodka,
yummmm ... INCREDIBLY smooth!
White Russian
My son loves these!!! Cream, Kahlua and vodka, Seriously, what's
NOT to like?!?!
Scotch and ginger with a twist of lemon
Now I know, this is a boring cocktail, but what impressed my
husband was that this was made with top shelf scotch and lots of it!
Next, it was on to appetizers
Charcuterie Board
"Suckling pig, Country sausage, Lardo toast, Boar
Terrine"
My son LOVED this!! Just a side note, if the Charcuterie board
has an item on it you aren't crazy about, ask your server to replace it with
something that's more to your taste. They will be more than happy to do what
they can.
Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail
"Old Bay poached shrimp, lemon, house-made cocktail
sauce"
I could eat these all day long! Very fresh, very good and there
were quite a few shrimp for an appetizer.
Artisanal Cheeses
"Assorted cheeses, bread and Seasonal accoutrements"
Oh yes, this is outstanding. Cheeses range from mild to bleu, I
recommend this for all of you cheese lovers!
After our wonderful appetizers, we still had our entrees to dive
into!
8 oz Black Angus Filet Mignon
This was absolutely mouthwatering!! It normally comes served
with mashed potatoes but a few of us opted for french fries, which were
fantastic. The Cabernet Wine Sauce is perfect!! (I have, on occasion asked for
bearnaise sauce on the side, which was not a problem)
Catch of the Day
"Seared and seasoned salmon with seasonal vegetables"
My niece had this and said it was just outstanding, and hoping this
dish is on the menu for our trip this coming Fall. I realize this is a
steakhouse, but check the Catch of the Day offerings, if you're a fish lover.
Yachtsman's Steakhouse offers some incredible side dishes, which
we just HAD to have...
Truffle Macaroni and Cheese
"Orecchiette Pasta and Reypenaer Cheese"
I wish they had this as an entree, although the *side* size was
enough to share. Was this good, I mean, GOOD... WOW I'd go back just for this
dish!!! (paired with the pull apart onion rolls I bet would be dinner in
itself)
Sauteed Mushrooms
"Garlic butter and Sherry Wine Sauce"
Ohhhh Myyyyy Goodness ... if ever two things were right
together, it's these little beauties and the filet mignon. Melt-in-your-mouth
good... Sigh.... (I may need a minute here....)
Creme Brulee
A gift from our server for our anniversary. How sweet!! This has
to be the biggest serving of Creme Brulee that I've ever had!! And good???! You
betcha it was!!!!
Chocolate Peanut Cake
"Pretzels, salted caramel, Gelato, liquid Ganache"
Don't let the size of this cutie fool you, it is INCREDIBLY rich
and decadent! Love chocolate? Love caramel?? THIS is for you!!
Seasonal Sorbet Trio
My niece loved this!! Lemon, Strawberry and Chocolate sorbets.
Light, refreshing and wonderful!
Our server came to bring us one more anniversary gift....
Candy and Jelly Anniversary treats
How cute is this!?!?!? I have to be honest, I could barely stand
up from eating so much, never mind eat another morsel. My son and husband
enjoyed these, although they had no idea what they were! LOL
Please keep in mind, Yachtsman Steakhouse is a Signature
restaurant, therefore, proper attire is required.
Might I suggest, making reservations around 7:00 pm, then
strolling the Boardwalk and perhaps a visit to Jellyrolls afterwards for a
memorable night? Yachtsman's is definitely one of must do restaurants every
visit. I HIGHLY recommend you give it a try!!
Location: Disney's Yacht Club Resort
Dinner: 5:00pm - 9:30pm
