The Boat House construction at Disney Springs The Landing

Stained glass sushi FTW.

And I thought making an inside out sushi roll was difficult enough...

 

[sshindel]

Me too. I'm going to ask for a window seat so the people walking by can stare at me longingly and I can wash my $200 sushi down with their tears!

I find the key is to get sufficiently drunk so when the bill shows up, you are somewhat numbed to the impact. This works at many restaurants.

They really frown on that at the register at Chipotle.

I'm sneaky. I wear one of these. They never know.

Plus, I get that extra support that a growing boy like me needs...

Idk who it is but they keep saying that from the outside it looks "family-friendly". But how so? It reminds me of Yacht Club v. Beach Club. Beach Club's icon is the shipwreck turned water slide - this tells guests "wow much fun very cool". Yacht Club's icon is a classic grey lighthouse. There's something about looking at it that says "upscale/maybe not for kids". Boathouse reminds me more of the latter than the former. TRex will draw a kids eye. Rainforest will blow a kiss mind when it blows fire. Kids will look at the boathouse and not be all that impressed because they don't see it the same way adults do.

EDIT: Actually, as a kid I only would've wanted to go into the Boathouse to see from the top of the Lighthouse. As soon as someone told me I couldn't I would quickly move onto the next location.

i was wondering about that, thats really dumb that they did build it with the opportunity to go up in the lighthouse.

missing out on another upcharge opportunity, did someone say lighthouse tours for $20 a person.

You keep that up he's going to put you on ignore like he did me.

Theme parks are serious business...

/waves at flynn

They already have one of those.

already have one of what? a yachthouse? where?

You are screwing with me, right?

no i was being serious.. everyone knows yachts are more expensive than boats

or maybe they could build rowboat or dingy house next door they could serve the 10-20 menu items there.

So I am wondering if there will be anything special about STK that sets it apart from The Boat House?[/QUOTE

stk?

The other high end Steakhouse coming to the former Pleasure Island area.

boring!!

why build two places in the same genre? LAME

and same price point.

disney springs is really turning out to be a disappointment.

should be calling it "gold rush springs", since without gold bars you dont get to go anything new

Not really a house. More of a club.

I hope the menu at The Boathouse uses this size font for their prices.

 

[sshindel]

I'd not really looked into it previously, but it seems STK is a "trendy" steakhouse/nightclub that caters to a clientele that, if their website is to be believed, wear very tight dresses and very high heels.

On the contrary. They will use the legal disclaimer method

Double Tomahawk Steak for 2......$117

they wont need the prices on the menu at all,

once the american express black card swipe stations are installed at all the entrances to the landing.

I'm sorry, but I may have to save my pennies for this one, just so I can say I ate a tomahawk steak. That just sounds cool!

I hope they offer some sort of discount if you eat one by yourself

Further on STK (downtown NYC version)

"
STK Downtown is not your daddy’s steakhouse. Don’t expect to find antiques on the walls or a stuffy atmosphere. We’re a modern, chic steakhouse for anyone who finds the traditional American steakhouse a tad on the boring side. To us, the perfect night out means having the right music and the right vibe paired with mouth-watering cuisine.

We want you to mingle and have fun. Say hello to your table neighbors. Buy that handsome gent or that modelesque beauty you’ve been eyeing a drink at the bar. Dance to the DJ and then hydrate with a cocktail or two. At STK, you’ll get more than a great culinary experience… You’ll get the perfect night out.
"

Doesn't seem it might be direct competition to The Boathouse.

Maybe you get one if you are capable of completely digesting it under a certain amount of time. I would definitely go for it.

its fine if it wanted to be a high end steakhouse, but then make it look boring and stiff, not fun and family friendly from the outside.

This whole thing could have been avoided by calling it

THE YACHTHOUSE, then its obvious its only for the rich.

So they should have made it look old and stuffy looking with dark paneling and dim lighting so it wouldn't appeal to most?
