Ambiance
A classic American boathouse on the water at Disney Springs, with timber and brass, sweeping lake views, a dockside bar with live music, a fleet of vintage Amphicars that drive off the dock into the lake, and The Boatique gift shop. No park ticket is needed.
Cuisine
Upscale waterfront seafood with steaks and chops – an oyster bar, fresh catch, filet mignon and a kids’ menu. The broad menu makes it an easy fit when everyone at the table wants something different.
Concierge’s favourite dishes
Oysters Rockefeller; Maine lobster bisque; filet mignon Oscar-style; White Chocolate Confetti Cake – listed for two, but feeds six.
Expert tip
Book direct for the best availability and park in the Lime Garage. Arrive before sunset, request a dockside table, order the Duck Duck Fizz served with a rubber ducky, and watch the Amphicar tours splash down.
How to book
