First look at The BOATHOUSE menu - opening next week at Disney Springs The Landing

[KLinder7]

Can you get take out for your 100$ boat ride?

 

[xdan0920]

As long as people fork over those kind of "bucks" Disney will continue to raise the prices. I get that people will pay more at Disney, but that's just ridiculous.

It's not Disney

I can't be the only person who's ever been to a steakhouse before, right? I'm 99% sure that those sides are to be shared among a table of 2-4, not consumed by a single individual.

Correct! you can typically order an individual portion, but that's not usually advertised

 

[durangojim]

I don't see what the big problem is. Prices are in line with other higher end restaurants. If it's too expensive, just don't eat there.

But that's not faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaair.*

*Note, I will never eat there. I'm not some elitist snob like @LuvtheGoof, thrilled to have a place inaccessible to the plebeians. I'm just one of those plebeians who isn't offended by some people having things that I don't have.

Exactly. We might eat there if the reviews are good after it's been open a while. And yes it is expensive, but so is a $7 hot dog or $2.75 bottle of Coke.
I think it's funny when people complain about something like this but they don't complain of the overall cost of the parks. If anything this is less of a price increase than most of the "regular" food people buy in the park.

Does anyone know if all the new Restaurants at Disney Springs will be high end? I was hoping for a few Fun Family Themed Restaurants would be built. It looks like the Marketplace will turn into a High End Disney Springs. All the people that work for a living need a place to go.

 

[Cmdr_Crimson]

I can understand why it's so expensive...Since it's run by Gibsons steakhouse a Chicago based Steakhouse....It's about the same price ranges

[Figgy1]

I'm not trying to white knight for this place or anything, those prices fall in line with a proper steakhouse pricing. I am a vegetarian, so I have no pony in this race and will likely never eat here.

Prices like that make me happy to be vegan! Even my 2 carnivores aren't going to spend that much on steak, on vacation. Besides $21 for asparagus?

 

[Sage of Time]

Nope. No interest. It'll never effect me.

 

[RandomLurker]

Actually? I was hoping the prices (and offerings) would be a bit higher. Not seeing THAT much high end shellfish

Interesting. I didn't know that. Hopefully this won't be one of the first points of a Viagra triangle at Disney Springs.

 

[jaklgreen]

Those prices are crazy. Maybe I am spoiled but I live in NE and we have a steakhouse every couple of miles. We can get a great steak dinner for much cheaper.

 

[mm121]

These prices are absolutely outrageous. Very few people will be able to afford that restaurant. I don't know why Disney has become so interested in catering to the ultra rich. I thought this was going to be a regular restaurant not some sort of super expensive place.

agreed, its disappointing that the first new offering of disney springs is only for the rich.

should have named it the
THE YACHTHOUSE, then its obvious its only for the rich.

It has always been expected to be a high-end signature dining location.

Have a look at the original announcement
http://www.wdwmagic.com/dining/the-...rant-confirmed-for-disney-springs-in-2015.htm

“Combining dining with interactive entertainment, The BOATHOUSE helps bring to life our vision of Disney Springs as a welcoming place for guests of all ages to enjoy with their friends and family amid the charm of a waterfront town center,” said George A. Kalogridis, president, Walt Disney World Resort.

all ages, but only if your rich!! this is the current attitude of disney management.

Fair points, but give it time to reveal itself. My thoughts are first the menu will dictate that this restaurant is more high end (especially the prices). Second will be DDP or more importantly lack of it. If they establish the Landing as a more adult oriented sub-section of Disney Springs with high end, fancy restaurants it will have an identity. There's still room for the World of Disney and RFC at Disney Springs just like there was room for them when PI was full of nightclubs.

with all the different rooms its disappointing that there can't be some area for normal people

its not uncommon for some big restaurants to have the high end steakhouse upstairs, while having more moderate options on the ground level.

or at the very least would be nice to see a more moderate lunch menu.

Not intending to pick on you, but the menu for Boathouse includes things in the $25-$40 range as well, which is comparable to 60% of the table service restaurants/buffets at WDW. I don't think it'll be "inaccessible" unless you consider a lot of the TS places inaccessible. I certainly understand that a lot of WDW visitors can't afford a meal in that price range every day, but I think most do it at least a couple times in a week-long trip.

Lets run through an example of a couple eating at two restaurants, one which you are claiming is only for the rich, and one at Epcot, which many many people who do not claim to be rich frequently eat at.

BOATHOUSE

- Cedar Planked Salmon $29
- Berkshire Pork Chop 12 ounce $27
- Key Lime Pie in a Jar $9
TOTAL $65

Coral Reef

- Seared Salmon Filet $24.99
- Roasted Pork Belly $26.99
- The Chocolate Wave $8.99
TOTAL $69.97

I was being very, very sarcastic.

Oops. I was being very oblivious. Your post makes way more sense now!

Ugh, give it a rest. I sincerely hope you're joking because if you aren't you should be complaining about 80% of WDW. I'd love to hear what someone has to earn to be considered rich and which restaurants, hotels, and experiences are for the poor and which are for the rich.

 

[LAKid53]

Those prices are similar to the good steakhouses and seafood restaurants I eat at. Quite frankly, planked salmon for $39 is very reasonable.

$59.97 for Coral Reef but still only $6 difference. If the service and food is better at the Boathouse then it will be well worth it.
