We love walking over to the Yacht Club after a day at EPCOT for great food and stunning water views.
Yacht Club
But a massive closure will put a wrench in our plans soon. A popular Yacht Club restaurant closed today!
Yachtsman Steakhouse is a New England-themed dining experience where you can watch the chefs prepare your food in the open kitchen. Popular menu items include Prime New York Strip Steak, Prime Rib Sliders, and Yachtsman’s Chocolate Cake. Yachtsman Steakhouse officially closed on May 11th and will reopen on an unspecified date in August. The closure is for a “refresh,” per Disney, so there will likely be some differences upon reopening.

Newly reopened Crew’s Cup Lounge offers some of Yachtsman Steakhouse’s menu items during the closure. This includes the Lobster Bisque for $19, Caesar Salad for $16, and the Yachtsman Signature Bread for $8. Crew’s Cup Lounge is themed after a port outpost with a cozy seafaring atmosphere, thanks to wooden detailing and lanterns, similar to the vibe of Yachtsman Steakhouse. Take a look at the reopening here!

If you’re sold on a full meal at Yacht Club, all other restaurants there will remain open during the closure. Ale & Compass Restaurant offers upscale New England comfort food and classic seafood dishes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The coastal-inspired restaurant is designed after a cozy lighthouse. Almost all of their food is great, but we think their breakfast is some of the best on Disney property!

The neighboring Ale & Compass Lounge offers beers, wines, and high-end liquors with savory snacks. It’s a great, relaxing spot for a drink if the bars in EPCOT are busy! To drink, we’d recommend the Pineapple Mule and Just Peachy. For a snack, we love their Parker House Rolls, Truffle Fries, Clams Casino, Crispy Wings, and the Seasonal Market Flatbread.
