About this restaurant

  • Great for scenic views
  • Good for special occasions
  • Lively
Boasting 360 views of Lake Buena Vista, aboard a reimagined, modern, and luxurious steamboat, the Paddlefish dining experience is unmatched in Disney Springs. Serving guests with genuine hospitality and 360 degree
waterfront views, Paddlefish has earned multiple Diners’ Choice badges for good reason.

With an international wine list and craft cocktails to boot, Paddlefish is the perfect vessel for a memorable dining experience, post-dinner roofdeck libations, or a crisp refresher to pair with your meal. Welcome aboard.

    Views of the lake in ambience were five star. Stuff God was mediocre. Oysters and shrimp has appetizers acceptable. And courteous staff not bad for a Disney property.

    The ambience and service were quite good. We loved the fried green tomatoes. I will say that all 3 of the salads we ordered we drowned in dressing which was super disappointing. We did give that feedback to our server. Ask for it on the side!
