Good.

It desperately needs a rework - new menu and new decor.

As it is right now, it is the second worst steakhouse on property. The worst being its close neighbor at The Dolphin, Bourbon Steak.

Can certainly use a refresh, however I do hope they keep the cozy feel of Crew's Cup Lounge. That bar is funky as well, hopefully they can figure that out.

From chat GPT, kind of idea of what I’m hoping for at crews cup

I'm sure it's wishful thinking but would love if they returned to the days of Crews Cup opening at noon and offering a burger and sandwiches. It probably didn't do enough business during the day to justify it, but I appreciated it as an option. Yachtsman is definitely due for a decor refresh.

The last time I was at the Yachtsman, dinner went on for far too long and one of my party was not having any luck with her dinner coming out right. Previous visits though all went off well and I hope that they keep the charm of the Crew's Cup. Marie
