If you’re looking to elevate your dining experience while staying at Walt Disney World—or if you’re a local foodie who enjoys the finer things in life—there’s a new must-visit restaurant sizzling into town. Acclaimed chef and restaurateur Michael Mina has brought his celebrated Bourbon Steak brand to the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin, and we are already drooling over the details.
Soft opening this week and officially opening its doors July 26, Bourbon Steak Orlando promises a reimagined steakhouse experience with the refined style and warmth that defines Mina’s culinary legacy. With a menu that balances timeless steakhouse favorites and globally inspired innovation, this new addition brings some serious star power to the resort’s impressive collection of 23 restaurants and lounges.
A Culinary Powerhouse Behind the Scenes
Chef Mina is no stranger to excellence. With multiple James Beard Awards, Michelin stars, and a spot on Robb Report’s 50 Most Powerful People in American Fine Dining, Mina has created a culinary empire through MINA Group, a collection of chef-driven concepts nationwide. Bourbon Steak is one of his signature restaurants, known for impeccable technique, premium ingredients, and an unmatched level of hospitality.
At the Orlando location, Senior Sous Chef Jonathan Hill takes the reins, bringing with him years of experience in steakhouse cuisine and a background in wine sommelier certification. Hill’s previous roles at Shula’s Steak House, SeaWorld, and Dubsdread Catering make him perfectly suited to lead the kitchen at Bourbon Steak Orlando.
What’s on the Menu? A Lot to Love.
Let’s start with what might be one of the most fun and unique elements: instead of traditional bread service, guests are greeted with Duck Fat Fries and a trio of house-made sauces. (We told you it was elevated!)
The menu is a showcase of indulgent, high-end offerings like:
- Tuna Tartare prepared tableside—an iconic dish Chef Mina first introduced in 1991.
- Black Truffle Agnolotti, Bacon-Wrapped Scallops, and a Lobster Pot Pie served tableside in a copper pot.
- Signature steaks like a 45-Day Dry-Aged Cowboy Ribeye and a showstopping 40 oz Hay-Smoked Tomahawk, presented tableside from the restaurant’s custom trolley.
- Ultra-luxurious Wagyu selections, including Miyazaki A5 Strip Steak and Snake River Farms Rib Cap.
On the lighter side, guests can explore globally inspired seafood dishes like Miso Broiled Sea Bass and Big Eye Tuna Au Poivre.
Don’t even get us started on the sides—Black Truffle Mac & Cheese, Jalapeno Creamed Corn, and Creamed Spinach with crispy shallots are just a few indulgent options that round out the experience.
Dessert Worth Saving Room For
The dessert menu doesn’t hold back either. From the playful and nostalgic “On the Rocks” Root Beer Float with sassafras ice cream to the regionally inspired Key Lime Napolean, every sweet treat is as thoughtfully curated as the main courses. And if you’re looking for a true signature finish, try the Bourbon Steak Chocolate Candy Bar or Brûléed Basque Cheesecake—the only one of its kind in the country.
Sips & Style
The beverage program is just as refined, with an extensive wine list and a cocktail menu that blends sophistication and whimsy. Signature sips like the Our Famous Martini and Fruit Ninja add flavor and flair, while non-alcoholic creations like Fairweather Friend ensure there’s something fabulous for everyone.
The Space
Bourbon Steak Orlando brings elevated design to match its elevated menu. Located inside the Dolphin hotel, the space is warm yet modern, blending rich textures, curated art, and a touch of Disney-inspired playfulness. The result? A chic, comfortable dining atmosphere that’s perfect for a date night, celebration, or a grown-up evening out on your Disney vacation.
Whether you’re a Disney regular looking for a refined dinner option or a Central Florida local searching for your new favorite steakhouse, Bourbon Steak Orlando is poised to deliver a culinary experience you won’t soon forget.
