STK Orlando opening at Disney Springs in 2016

[michmousefan]

The DS version probably won't look this contemporary inside... but here's an article about renderings from the new STK soon to open in Chicago. Looks nice:

Yes, the District charges Disney fees. (Here you go: http://rcid.org/DoingBusiness/PermitsFees.aspx) There are 'walls' between the two. Even though the District is supported by Disney, it operates independently and acts like any other municipality would. I believe the planters were done prior to the building simply because the vendor was already doing the same stone planters in the completed areas going down the strip towards the Boathouse. They just did the planters as part of the plaza after they did the faux turntable and pavers. The top planter isn't part of the building, it's on the plaza, but will be incorporated into the patio of the restaurant. The bottom one is adjacent to the wall of the building.

I agree......that way they can bill for all the planters at once.

They better get on their horse! A lot to do by January 1. Plus that will mean the springs are complete? It will be a great view of the construction!

I think that STK Orlando will be finished in early 2016!

Uhhh.... wow!

Lemme try this. I like steak!!!

Seriously though I do! And I'm not a fake steak fan that will go in and order a 12oz filet because it'd the most expensive cut. I'm a, bone-in ribeye, medium rare with a perfect crust outside finished with browned butter.

I've said this before but Disney springs is going to destroy my bank account the next time I'm in FL.

My only fear is that just about every restaurant they have added is pretty high end. I'd like to hear of a new tenant that will offer something for a reasonable price because despite this being a vacation, I'd rather not go home in debt.

I think there will be a fairly good balance when it's done but that's just a guess. Places like the Morimoto QS well help to offer some less expensive options.

Is that attached to Morimoto? I guess is missed that one.

It will be around the backside, I do believe. Someone posted photos of the sign yesterday. I think it's called Morimoto's Street Food. There will also be an upstairs there, which I suspect will be the most expensive option.

I was thinking the upstairs patio was part of the main restaurant.

Kind of. Located upstairs (inside) is the open kitchen and 14-seats-only Sushi Bar and a private dining room. There may be regular seating too. I'm not sure.

This post shows the pics I was referring too for the QS: http://savepleasureisland.blogspot.ca/2015/10/pi-update-morimoto-street-food.html

Hoping it is like the Vegas Location and the DDP doesn't impact quality....

Save PI had an update today it looked like most of the work was still happening in the tunnels but I have seen guys working on the steel frame in photos as of late.
