About this restaurant

Great for scenic views
Good for special occasions
Charming

Boasting 360 views of Lake Buena Vista, aboard a reimagined, modern, and luxurious steamboat, the Paddlefish dining experience is unmatched in Disney Springs. Serving guests with genuine hospitality and 360 degree
waterfront views, Paddlefish has earned multiple Diners’ Choice badges for good reason. Led by Executive Chef Steve Richard, the seafood menu features a Daily Catch, Whole Maine Lobster, King Crab, Scallops, and even Filet Mignon for those that prefer a little turf with their surf. With an international wine list and craft cocktails to boot, Paddlefish is the perfect vessel for a memorable dining experience, post-dinner roofdeck libations, or a crisp refresher to pair with your meal. Welcome aboard.

Food was wonderful! We had oysters, muscles and the ribeye which was cooked perfectly. The wait staff was attentive and food was delivered quickly. The restaurant was not nearly as busy as we've experienced in many of our other dining experiences at Disney Springs.

The chairs in the room overlooking the paddle have lost all their padding and it felt like you were sitting on 2 boards. I swapped out the chair several times without any luck. The servers in the hall area were talking very loud and we could not focus on our table conversation. Our server was excellent. The price of the food was to high with regards to the quality. The chocolate chip sundae cookies were very hard.

Great dinner service. Had a reservation and they sat us right away. Server was great. Friendly, knowledgeable, thoughtful, and quick. Food was great. Ambiance is beautiful but noisy (at least in the room we were in) but it was manageable. Would highly recommend a stop here!

Reservation was for 7:15. Sat out back until after 8pm. Went to hostess 4 times. Nothing each time. Told them we are leaving. They acted confused each time I went up to them. We never dined although OpenTable thinks we did. Will never go back. Went to the Boathouse instead.

Food fantastic! Our server Tony great! It is a little loud and hard to have a conversation if you’re inside other than that I’d definitely eat there again.
