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.

They sat us in an area for families with crying children. The cod stuffed with stove top stuffing was terrible. Shrimp and pasta was tasteless and tons of salt and parmigiana cheese just to keep it down. Expensive waste of time, effort, and most importantly MONEY. We had better cafeteria food… Yes that bad!!!

Service was excellent. Good timing on food to table. One of most flavorful clam chowders I have had. Caprese salad tomatoes out of season so shouldn't have ordered. Mains were prepared well.

Worth the trip to Disney Springs when you want to have a view, walk around, and enjoy local seafood. Great experience overall, we'd certainly come back. Reservations made the seating process quick when there were other groups already waiting.

It was very busy around 7 PM so I am glad I made reservations. The team were all friendly and attentive. Food was good, minus the table bread - that was okay but not the best. Food presentation was beautiful and the fish was very good. The location is fun as it looks like a steam powered boat, but it was noisy and sometimes hard to hear anyone in there. Definitely keep the noise in mind if you’re looking for a quieter venue.
