Guests looking for a steak dinner at Disney’s Yacht Club Resort have their spot back. Yachtsman Steakhouse has reopened after a refurbishment, and it returns with two new menu items and a refreshed exterior. Here is a look at the reopening date, the work behind it, the new dishes, and the outdoor updates worth noting.
When Yachtsman Reopened
Yachtsman Steakhouse welcomed guests again on Friday, August 28, 2026. The restaurant sits at Disney’s Yacht Club Resort at Walt Disney World, giving diners a table-service steakhouse option within the Epcot resort area. With the doors open once more, you can add it back to your dining plans on your next trip.
The Refurbishment Period
The reopening follows a stretch of closure for updates. Yachtsman closed on May 10, 2026, and stayed shut for a little over three months while the refurbishment took place. Projects like this help keep Disney’s dining spaces in good condition, and the August reopening marks the end of this round of work.
Two New Menu Items
The refreshed menu brings a pair of additions worth knowing about before you book a table.
- 10-oz American Wagyu New York Strip Steak served with a loaded baked potato and a brandy-peppercorn sauce. It is priced at $83 per serving.
- Black Garlic Fettuccine which offers a option for guests who want something other than a cut of beef. The house-made fettuccine comes with seared baby squash, heirloom cherry tomatoes, mushroom conserva, and a creamy black garlic sauce. It is priced at $38 per serving.
Updates to the Exterior
The changes are not limited to the menu. Outside the restaurant, the accessible ramp has been carpeted, a small but practical update for guests arriving at the entrance.
The outdoor furniture has also returned to its place. That includes the blue benches and burgundy chairs that give the entrance area its familiar look. Together, these touches signal that the space is fully back in service after the closure.
Final Thoughts
Yachtsman Steakhouse is once again open at Disney’s Yacht Club Resort, with two new dishes and a tidied-up entrance to greet returning guests. Whether you are drawn to the American Wagyu New York Strip or the Black Garlic Fettuccine, the reopened restaurant gives Yacht Club visitors a solid table-service choice. If a steak dinner is on your list for your next Walt Disney World trip, it is worth a reservation.
