The Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin just shared a SNEAK PEEK at a new restaurant coming soon! Bourbon Steak by Michael Mina is set to make its debut at the Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel in mid-summer 2025.

We already got a sneak peek at what to expect when we dined at Bourbon Steak in Orange County, but now we are getting a sneak peek at the design and some of the dishes coming to the restaurant. This will be Bourbon Steak’s 10th location and third location in Florida (there are also Bourbon Steak restaurants in Miami and Del Ray Beach).

Bourbon Steak will replace Shula’s Steakhouse in the Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel. Shula’s Steakhouse will be taking reservations through June 14th, 2025, and then it will be permanently closing to make way for Bourbon Steak. We don’t know an official opening date for Bourbon Steakhouse, except it is anticipated to open in mid-summer 2025.

Bourbon Steak is by Michael Mina, a well-known chef with multiple Michelin stars and the owner of more than 40 restaurants worldwide. This new location for Bourbon Steak will feature “a reimagined modern take on the quintessential American steakhouse with premium cuts of beef and seafood infused with global flavors, along with decadent signature desserts, and world-class beverage offerings.”

Walt Disney Swan and Dolphin shared some first looks at how this restaurant space will look. We got a peek at some of the dining area. From the concept art, it looks elegant and refined. The restaurant seeks to celebrate the details that make meals memorable, and Chef Michael Mina is bringing “his fresh perspective to familiar favorites.”

We also got a look at the bar area, including a look at the extensive collection of wines and liquors. Bourbon Steak is an ode to the traditional steakhouse that hopes to bring “new delight to time honored rituals.”

We can’t wait for the full menu to be released so we can start planning out meal here! When we dined at the Bourbon Steak in Orange County some of our favorite menu items included the 8-oz Filet which was cooked to perfection, seasoned very well, and was oh so juicy!

The cut of the steak!

We also loved Michael’s Ahi Tuna Tartare which was tossed tableside. All the ingredients were high quality, and the fish was wonderful and melted in our mouths. We loved the balance of sweet and spicy in this dish!

We also can’t forget about the Truffle-Infused Brioche Roll which was one of the best dinner rolls we have ever had! It does still pop up in our dreams from time to time. It was hot and fluffy, with the perfect amount of truffle butter inside.

While Bourbon Steak is on the pricy side, we really felt like this restaurant was a great example of “you get what you pay for” as we had a wonderful experience, and the food was wonderful. We are interested to see how the newest location of Bourbon Steak stands up to our experience in Orange County. Of course, we will be bringing you a full review once the Bourbon Steak in the Walt Disney World Dolphin opens up!
