About this restaurant

Great for scenic views
Good for special occasions
Lively

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.

My shrimp and grits were fantastic however my wife had the catch of the day which was swordfish and it was overcooked and extremely dry.

Food was a bit overpriced fir the quality. Large Tomatoes in caprese salad were far from being ripe and tasty.

The ambience and service were quite good. We loved the fried green tomatoes. I will say that all 3 of the salads we ordered we drowned in dressing which was super disappointing. We did give that feedback to our server. Ask for it on the side!

Very nice view, the restaurant was very elegant and the food was wonderful. The fish of the day was swordfish and cooked excellent! The plate cost $40 which considering its Disney Springs I felt was really affordable.
