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 knowledgeable about the menu. Alex made thoughtful recommendations, checked in at just the right times, and made us feel genuinely welcome. His professionalism and warm personality turned a great meal into a memorable experience.
Five stars all around for food, location, and top-tier service. We’ll absolutely be back! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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!

Another nice lunch on Jan 3. Macy is quite a nice server – genuinely warm, friendly, and attentive. The pipette pasta and the cedar planked salmon were excellent. Also enjoyed generous sides of Mac & cheese as well as baked sweet potato. The broccoli and carrots (with salmon entree) were too difficult to cut with knife so they were left on the plate as the sides were more than ample.

We enjoyed a very nice lunch on Dec 18, and Paola and the accomplished team took good care of us. Our table was on the patio with a lake view.

The grilled grouper and cedar planked salmon entrees were masterfully prepared and quite delicious. The immense key lime pie dessert was delightful and could easily satisfy a family of four.

The Boathouse is a very large waterfront restaurant, part of the Gibsons group, with an extensive menu, consistently outstanding kitchen, very capable management and a cheerful atmosphere and playlist.

This location also includes an enjoyable mini boat (car) launch and a charming shop offering a variety of tempting items.

Overall, this is one of our favorite restaurants anywhere.

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.

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!

We had a fabulous waitress which probably made it an exceptional experience. Apparently, this is the same owners as Gibson’s in Rosemont, IL (which we love). I wouldn’t say it was Gibson’s steakhouse perfect, but it was great. Way too much food on the Disney meal plan (took 2 per person), but it was a nice experience and great food. We had a late evening meal outside by the lake. We had to a reserve a spot weeks in advance.

The Boathouse, located in Disney Springs, is a beautiful boat-themed restaurant known for the waterfront view and fresh seafood. They have very popular meals including steaks, oysters, shrimp, and lobster rolls. The bar areas stay busy. Many people dress up to dine here, and you’ll see a lot of multi generational families enjoying cosy meals together. Even though Boathouse seats a lot of people, I would strongly advise getting reservations, which can be made on the Disney App. Sitting outside, you can watch the Dream Boats/Amphicars slip into the water and motor around the lake. They offer live music, including a sing-along brunch on the weekends. I found that to be too loud for my taste- so loud and distracting that we had a had time conversing. I prefer no music in this busy restaurant. Their starter rolls are excellent and a family favorite. Their salads are very reasonable if you’re looking for a less expensive option with the same view. Bathrooms are boujee and very clean. Be sure to stop in their gift shop on your way out. We have loved Boathouse since it opened!

We’ve lived in Orlando for quite some time and somehow never made it to The Boathouse at Disney Springs. So we were glad to finally check it out for lunch.

My wife and I both ordered drinks. She had the Bloody Mary, which she enjoyed (though she’s had better), and I had a coffee-based cocktail (I can’t remember the name), which was excellent. She also had the lobster bisque and absolutely loved it. I ordered six raw oysters and they were fantastic: fresh and flavorful.

For our entrées, my wife had the Pappardelle Pasta with Vegetables and Garlic Butter. She enjoyed it, but it wasn’t quite what she expected. She was anticipating a creamier sauce. It wasn’t bad at all, just different from what she had in mind. I ordered the Maine style lobster roll. The lobster pieces were large and generous, but for the price, I expected the roll itself to be a bit bigger. The kettle chips on the side were pretty standard and felt like something you could get from a bag, which was a little underwhelming given the overall experience.

That said, the atmosphere and service were truly top notch. The theming is beautiful, and our waitress was excellent. friendly, attentive, and professional. We would absolutely go back, as there are many other items on the menu we’d love to try, and we’re confident there are some real standouts we haven’t experienced yet.

Good sit down lunch option at Disney Springs. The service was great especially when it came to the various allergies of our party. They have someone on staff specifically overseeing allergy management. For lunch I had the grilled chicken with broccoli and carrots, sauce on the side, and thought that it was pretty good. My husband was mid on the filet sliders but my friends enjoyed the club sandwich and the firecracker shrimp. This was a very large restaurant but I would still recommend that you make a reservation if you don’t want a significant wait.

I always make a point to go to the Boathouse whether I am eating alone or bringing friends/family.

The atmosphere is bustling and the servers are all attentive. All the seafood is good and if you are of age, you need to try the Shipwreck! Even the mocktails are good (I’ve had the Mint Berry Wave).

My favorite apps are the firecracker shrimp (probably the most popular app) and the oysters Rockefeller! The hoisin chili calamari can be hit or miss, the flavor is good but it can be a little chewy. And dont turn down the house bread, its warm, sweet and buttery.

For entrees: seared tuna is great, fish tacos is great, if youre a fan of crab cakes their jumbo lump crab cake is GREAT. Perfectly cooked, a little creamy, I liked it with just lemon but it does come with Chipotle tartar sauce.i also enjoy the lobster roll.

I do think the prices are on par for the location and would highly recommend making a reservation in advance because this is one restaurant you have to try.
