LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla.—Acclaimed chef and restaurateur Michael Mina has opened Bourbon Steak Orlando, an expansion of his celebrated Bourbon Steak brand, at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin.
The restaurant is the newest addition to the hotel’s 23 restaurants and lounges. It features four private dining rooms, buyouts, and other options for groups.
Chef Mina, an Egyptian-American restaurateur, has earned multiple James Beard Awards, Michelin stars and was recognized as one of the Robb Report’s ““Bringing Bourbon Steak to the world’s most popular vacation destination is a natural fit,” says Mina. “A trip to Orlando is all about creating lasting memories—and that’s exactly what we aim to deliver: a dining experience guests will remember for a lifetime.”
Located inside the Dolphin hotel, Bourbon Steak Orlando offers diners premium cuts of steak, globally inspired seafood, and indulgent sides. Instead of traditional bread service, every table is treated to the restaurant’s signature duck fat fries trio, accompanied by an array of dipping sauces. The restaurant also offers shellfish and caviar selections, appetizers like black truffle agnolotti with burrata cheese filling and truffle butter and Mina’s renowned tuna tartare, prepared tableside with quail egg, pine nuts, mint, Asian pear, and habanero sesame oil. Premium cuts of meat include a 40-ounce hay-smoked Tomahawk ribeye, served tableside from a Bourbon Steak trolley for a showstopping presentation. The Wagyu beef selection features some of the world’s most sought-after cuts, including Miyazaki A5 strip steak and Snake River Farms domestic wagyu rib cap. The sides and dessert are just as indulgent, with offerings like black truffle mac & cheese and a brûléed Basque cheesecake.
“We’re thrilled to welcome chef Mina and Bourbon Steak to our eclectic family of restaurants at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin,” says Sean Verney, area general manager of the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin. “This is a must-visit dining experience for both visitors and locals—a meal worth going out of your way for.”
