I had an absolutely fantastic experience at The BOATHOUSE in Disney Springs, and I can’t recommend it enough! First, the location is unbeatable. Sitting right on the water, the atmosphere is both relaxing and upscale, with beautiful views that make the entire dining experience feel special. Whether you’re visiting for a casual lunch or a celebratory dinner, the setting truly elevates the meal. The food was outstanding. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. From the seafood to the sides, you can really taste the quality ingredients and attention to detail. It’s the kind of place where every bite makes you want to come back and try something new. What truly made our visit exceptional, though, was the service—especially Alex. He was attentive, friendly, and incredibly knowl

This…this….THIS. Ok everyone knows this is probably the best restaurant in Disney springs? It’s so popular and there is a reason! The food here is very good, the service here is great, the ambience is impeccable, the restaurant is beautiful and depending on who you’re with it can be very romantic! Me and my boyfriend came here for our first night in Disney and I had the most amazing time. We got to sit outside near the water and it was gorgeous! The tacos I got were very good, the sliders we shared were so good as well and the free bread?? That was probably my favorite. I have never had bread THAT good. It was so so so good. It melted in my mouth and was so buttery. Ugh delicious. I still think about those rolls. Anyways if you are debating…please stop in because you will not be sorry!

The outdoor check in staff were friendly accommodating. I had booked through Open Table and was experiencing a glitch with confirming a reservation but the staff assisted which was appreciated. Stacey, our hostess, was smiling and entertaining. Our server Alicia was very efficient, friendly and made excellent recommendations when we inquired about the raw oyster selection. I ordered two starters instead of a main and my Tina poke and beef carpaccio were excellent. Elegantly presented, fresh ingredients and full of flavour. This restaurant is a great location with live music close by, shopping and many bakeries and places to get a cocktail while wandering around Disney Springs. We followed our Cirque du Soleil show with this restaurant and I highly recommend it. But reservations are a must.

Great experience overall. We didn’t get seated until half an hour past our reservation time but it was Valentine’s Day so we weren’t too upset. Our server was very attentive with refilling our waters and asking if we needed anything. the rolls were amazing very sweet and buttery. We ordered the shrimp and andouille mac & cheese, the chips and dip, and the bang bang shrimp and everything was so delicious. We also got the mint mocktail which wasn’t worth $10 since there was no alcohol, but it was very good. It’s pretty pricey but it’s nice for a date night.

★★★★★ 5.0 Jeff P. · Feb 2026

The Boathouse Orlando restaurant is a fixture in the Disney Springs complex. It’s located adjacent to the ever-popular Amphicar Rides. The atmosphere is among the finest you’ll ever experience in a very large restaurant. As impressively, the service is impeccable. Servers are at your table almost the moment you’re seated and a manager stops by each table and provides his business card for diners, which is a nice touch. The food is impeccably prepared each and every time and the menu includes many delectable seafood, steak, and salad items. A great experience for 2 to 20 people! Enjoy!
