The BOATHOUSE 🚤
Updated: Aug 25
The BOATHOUSE is one of the signature dining experiences at Disney Springs, combining waterfront views, fresh seafood, steaks and a polished nautical atmosphere. Located at The Landing, the restaurant sits directly along the water and includes
extensive indoor and outdoor dining areas. It is the kind of place that can work for a casual waterfront lunch, a celebratory dinner or a leisurely evening with drinks, and the nearby vintage Amphicar launches add something you simply will not find at a typical restaurant.
✨ Experience
Dining at The BOATHOUSE feels more like a destination than a quick stop for food. The restaurant is large, but the waterfront location and multiple dining areas help give different parts of the space their own personality. You can enjoy seafood, steaks and cocktails while watching boats move across the water, and outdoor seating can be especially enjoyable when the Florida weather cooperates.
ℹ️ Info
Type: Waterfront seafood and steak restaurant
Location: The Landing at Disney Springs
Service Style: Table service
Accessibility: Wheelchair and ECV accessible
✨ Atmosphere
The BOATHOUSE has a polished nautical atmosphere without feeling overly formal. Boats, waterfront views and maritime details set the tone, while the large dining rooms and outdoor spaces keep the restaurant lively. Sitting outside near the water can make the restaurant feel especially relaxing, while the interior has more of an upscale steakhouse energy. It works just as well for families as it does for date nights and celebrations.
🍴 Food
The menu is extensive, with a strong emphasis on seafood and steaks. Guests can choose from raw-bar selections, fresh fish, shrimp, seafood entrées, sandwiches, salads and a substantial range of steakhouse-style dishes. There are also more moderate choices for guests who want the atmosphere without ordering one of the premium entrées.
🍹 Drinks
The BOATHOUSE has a full bar with cocktails, wine, beer, sangria and other adult beverages. The waterfront setting makes this an especially nice place to slow down with a cocktail or glass of wine rather than treating drinks as an afterthought.
💰 Price
$ ($1 up to $20) per person
$$ ($21 to $50) per person
$$$ ($51 to $75) per person
$$$$ ($76+) per person
Price Tier: $$$
The BOATHOUSE covers a wide price range, but a typical full meal can easily fall into the $51 to $75 per-person category once an entrée and drink are included. Guests can certainly spend less with sandwiches or lighter selections, while premium steaks, seafood and cocktails can push the total into the $$$$ range. Overall, $$$ is the best representation of a typical full dining experience here.
🌾 Allergies
Disney is very conscientious about food allergies and dietary needs, and many Disney Springs restaurants make an effort to accommodate guests whenever possible. Some locations offer separate allergy-friendly menus or clearly identify allergy-friendly options on their regular menus. Be sure to let your server or a Cast Member know about any allergies before ordering. Depending on the restaurant and the specific allergy, food may be prepared in a separate area or additional precautions may be taken to help reduce the risk of cross-contact. Because kitchens and preparation areas vary, accommodations cannot always be guaranteed, so guests with severe allergies should discuss their specific needs with the restaurant team before ordering.

🌟 Final Thoughts
The BOATHOUSE is one of Disney Springs' true destination restaurants. The waterfront location gives it an atmosphere that is difficult to duplicate, while the large seafood and steak menu makes it work for everything from a relaxed lunch to a special dinner. It is certainly not one of the least expensive choices at Disney Springs, but the combination of food, views and overall experience helps justify the higher price. If waterfront dining is high on your Disney Springs list, The BOATHOUSE deserves serious consideration.
