A couple of months ago, one of the restaurants at Disney World closed for the foreseeable future due to a kitchen fire, but we have some good news — this restaurant has OFFICIALLY reopened!
On June 25th, 2026, a fire broke out in the kitchen of Bourbon Steak – A Michael Mina Restaurant at the Dolphin Hotel. While it didn’t do any damage to the hotel itself, it had a pretty big impact on the restaurant. We stopped by the hotel yesterday and found the restaurant reopened! We have everything you need to know about booking reservations and dining here!
Bourbon Steak by Michael Mina is one of Disney’s signature dining experiences located in the Dolphin Hotel. The restaurant brings a reimagined modern take on the American steakhouse, offering premium cuts of beef, seafood with a variety of global flavors, world-class beverages, and signature desserts.
This restaurant is available for dinner only from 5 PM to 11 PM. When the kitchen fire happened, there was no reopening date announced; however, on our recent visit to the Dolphin Hotel, we found it to be open! And the best part is that everything is fixed and they are fully operational!
Although the Swan and Dolphin Hotels are not owned directly by Disney, reservations can still be made on the My Disney Experience app and website. Guests can also reserve dining through OpenTable or by calling (407) 934-1199.
And this restaurant is definitely worth your time and money. We stopped by when it first opened in July 2025, and it was SO good! The Black Truffle Bread is some of the BEST bread we’ve had on property, the Onion Soup Gratin really wowed us with its flavors and rich cheesiness, the Jumbo Lump Crab Cake was OUTSTANDING, and the steak was one of the BEST steaks we’ve had at Disney World in YEARS! This restaurant blew us away — we’d highly recommend trying it on your next vacation!
But this is only one restaurant out of the hundreds at Disney World, and if you’re planning a vacation, you’re going to need more than one restaurant to eat at. Picking restaurants for Disney World can feel like a full-time job, but don’t worry — we do the work for you! Our Guide to Disney World Dining pulls it all together so you can stop stressing and focus on the fun without feeling like you’re missing a thing!
Since Chef Mina is a well-known chef who owns more than 40 restaurants worldwide and has been awarded multiple Michelin stars, it can be difficult to grab reservations at this restaurant. We recommend booking as soon as possible, so you can secure your spot at this signature dining location! Stay tuned to the Disney Food Blog for more Disney news, updates, tips, and tricks.
