We arrived 2 hours before our reservation and they took us in immediately. Steak was cooked to perfection and sides were delicious. Had a lovely atmosphere and our server was very pleasant. Would definitely go again.

This restaurant is a great place to get a really good steak. We ordered the filet and NY strip steaks. Both were cooked exactly to our order. The steaks were very tender and everything was delicious. The service was excellent. All of our questions were answered and our waiter made good suggestions for dessert. We highly recommend this restaurant!

Once again, we had the best meal of our trip at Yachtsman. Started off with their bread (onion rolls are to die for) with roasted garlic. Yummy! One son had a the Assortment of Artisanal Cheeses plate and the other had Charcuterie Board which were delicious and fun to try new things. We all had the filets, which were cooked to perfection along with mashed potatoes. Our server, Bill was the epitome of a professional server. Will eat there again. And again. And again.

We were seated within 5 minutes of our arrival. Our dining time was 6:00 and the restaurant was not crowded. Our server was very personable and gave us lots of suggestions. I had the filet mignon and DH the ribeye. He was able to substitute a baked potato for the regular side. It was all wonderful! We were too stuffed to attempt dessert.
Pros:
Wonderful meal!Cons:

We have eaten here several times in the past for special celebrations and usually had a satisfactory experience; however, after our Valentine's Day experience I doubt we'll ever go back.
We had a reservation several weeks in advance and arrived on time. There were several people ahead of us in line to check in and when we got to the hostess stand the hostess never said a word or looked up, just kept us waiting about 5 minutes before looking up, asked my husband his name and made a remark about his simple name and told us there would be a 20 to 30 minute wait for our table. After 40 minutes and, noticing several parties had been seated who came in after we did, my husband checked with her again and she told him, oh, sorry, we seated someone else at your table by mistake! Let me add here that she seemed to be really nice to young people and treated older couples with contempt (we're in our early 60's). Once we were finally seated it was very late and we were very upset with how we had been treated. No manager to be seen anywhere, no apology for anything or any attempt to make up for poor treatment. Our waiter, Ricardo, was pleasant but disappeared for long periods and we had to ask several times for our water to be refilled. By the time we finished the restaurant had pretty much emptied out and it was after 10:00.
We have traveled the world and eaten in wonderful restaurants and judge our dining experience by how welcome we are made to feel, the quality of service and lastly, the food. Yachtsman has lovely food but failed miserably on the other important areas! For a very expensive meal on a special occasion, go somewhere else such as the Flying Fish Cafe. . . We've never had a bad experience there. We won't be returning to the Yachtsman Steakhouse.
Pros:
Food is delicious and beautifully presentedCons:

We dinned here with my parents on 1/29. We were seated a few minutes after our ADR time, however, it was no longer than a 5 minute wait. The restaurant was busy, as a conference was being held at the Yacht and Beach Club. The restaurant managed to keep up well considering the number of patrons inside. We started with a caesar salad, which was incredible, and one I wish I could replicate at home. A nearby table was offered a charcuterie board from management, however, they declined. Our waiter immediately brought it to our table, explaining that it was complementary, and we accepted. My parents had never experienced a charcuterie and enjoyed nibbling on the various items! The steaks and potatoes were all delicious and cooked perfectly. Dessert was outstanding, I am not a peanut butter fan, but our waiter and the manager (who was making rounds around the restaurant chatting with guests) recommended it so highly, I had to try it. It was top notch, layers of peanut butter and chocolate deliciousness, I left nothing on my plate! Our service at this restaurant was incredible, the waiter and the manager were delightful to talk to and helpful in selecting what we wanted to eat. It was definitely one of our favorite meals of our trip!
Pros:
Friendly and accommodating waitstaff, a great meal for meat loversCons:

We sat next to a group of conference attendees who had wine with every course. The noise level went up as they finished each bottle. The steaks we each chose were extraordinary. I could cut my filet with a couple of swipes of my knife. I can't remember what I had with the steak but it was good. I also had the bisque which was delicious. Our waiter was wonderful. He knew what we needed and would get it before we asked for it. It is expensive here but the steak was the best I have ever experienced. I would come back again on the dining plan but probably not if I had to pay cash for the dinner.

We ate here for our 20th anniversary on December 29, 2013. I split the prime rib with my oldest daughter. We also split a caesar salad. It was nice that they plated it separately. My husband had the New York Strip. My son also had a New York Strip. My youngest daughter had the kids' steak skewer. Everyone liked the food. We just weren't totally wowed like I thought we should be for the price. We did enjoy the Mickey puzzle dessert. The noise level in the restaurant was higher than I would have liked too.

food, service, Mickey puzzle dessertCons:

We had a most truly magical experience this past Dec. We ate a absolutely excellent meal our first night with the best of service. We decided to cancel another signature ADR to go back to Yachtsman for a second dinner. Again, service was superb. We were engaged in conversation about all the great things we were enjoying about our holiday trip and never noticed how much time had passed since our appetizers had been served but no entree yet. It wasn't until we noticed two other tables who had been seated after us had their entrees already that we even realized we had been waiting a while. Since we were in no hurry and actually spending time until we were hopping to a park for fireworks, we didn't say anything since our waiter was being very attentive to us. Then I saw a manager walking towards our table. She was very apologetic that we had been waiting for our entrees. We said that was no issue and we were sure our steaks would be well worth the wait. She offered to send two accompaniments that we had not ordered and told us our meal would be covered by her since there had been such a wait. We again told her that was most generous and not really necessary, but she insisted. So, we enjoyed a meal that would have cost over $200 (actually we saved 4 table service entitlements ). We did have to take dessert with us, but that was not really a problem. The Yule Log just became a midnight snack. When I tried to tip the waiter, he politely refused apologizing again for the "problem" with our meal. On the way out, I asked to speak again to the manager. She was ever so apologetic, but I assured her we were not upset. I simply wanted to leave a tip for our waiter with her since he wouldn't accept one. She assured me that an 18% gratuity had been included in what she had comped for our meal. By the way, the steaks were EXCELLENT when they were served-- cooked exactly as ordered-- one medium well and one medium rare. The entire meal was a delight and we will certainly become regulars on our annual holiday trips to WDW.
