Flying Fish

I'm shocked to see it only have 4 stars, it's top tier fine dining! The bread is so extraordinary! The service is amazing, I've never met nicer servers! The way they pull out your chair and give you a hot towel for your hands! The deserts! Ah there's a chocolate one that's like a show when you order it! Everything is so good here it's one of my fav Disney restaurants truly. The atmosphere is amazing! It's so pretty! And it sticks to the theme of what flying fish means if you look at the pictures on the wall!Also check out the cool circus type themed bar next door abracadabar I really recommend it!

Fine done restaurant in the Disney boardwalk resorts.Fish is the specialty.Steaks are a must too.Pricey but worthy.Highly recommended

As many others experienced and expressed, the restaurant has an elegant vibe. From the communication, table service and food presentation I would give them a five out of five stars. For the value of your money I'd give them a four out of five stars. The reason for this is due to the portion sizes of your main entree. We started with gluten free rolls. Although they took quite a while to get to our table, the bread was very warm and tasted good. A minor issue was that it was slightly chewy. Not something desired in gluten free baking, as it suggests that either the flour ratios are off or that too much 'gum' was used to balance the texture. To start, we had the lobster bisque, but was completely different from any other bisque I had ever had, meaning the bisque was more like thick bone broth with a strong taste of bovine. Again, not ideal but still tasted decent. My husband had the mussels with fennel, saffron and chili oil, we felt this dish was better compared to the lobster bisque. The mussels were cooked perfectly. We would recommend the mussels. Our main entrees were the sea bass with asparagus, it tasted excellent and was cooked perfectly. It came with crab on top sea bass, which was a nice addition. The dish tasted great, the only down side was the portion size of the fish. We've eaten all over the world at seafood restaurants and felt the portion size was a bit small comparatively. This was obvious when our server suggested we order a side with our entree, but she didn't clarify the actual reason why - that the portion was on the smaller aide. Lastly, dessert was delicious. They called it, "Christmas on a plate." It's called Roasted White Chocolate Bavarian Cream. It was quite good. Not too sweet or dense. The spiced caramel with the cranberry cherry reduction against the ginger cake was fantastic. I'd highly recommend it. Overall we did have an enjoyable experience, but felt the service was more geared from Disney employees and not necessarily seasoned waiters. There was an obvious bias towards pass holders compared to non-pass holders, so that put a damper on the experience. But for my gluten allergen, I will say they took it serious and accommodated without any issues.

My friend has been urging me forever to try this place out and so I am glad I finally did. It will definitely be one of my top restaurant recs for my clients in the future. I had the beets for the app and knew I was in for a good night from that moment on. For my main course I had the Potato-wrapped Red Snapper and oh my goodnessss. I have to admit I have always strayed away from Red Snapper and I decided to take a leap of faith because anything wrapped in potatoes is worth a try. It was absolutely amazing and I wish I hadn't decided to split it with someone haha. Next time I would have that all to myself. Our waiter was fantastic and very socialable. He even helped us take some group photos...I want to say his name was Mike but now I am drawing blank. I am bringing my husband next time for a date night! I am a fan :)

Disney honeymoon, vegan and meat eater review:Ambiance - beautiful but crowded at 6pm on a Sunday night. We dressed nice but saw people in park clothes which seemed out of place. Overall 4/5 on ambiance.Food - I had the vegan salad and the vegan entree which was the shiitake mushroom and rice galette. This dish had excellent flavor and was very well seasoned. Just a very small portion for $40 for vegetables and rice. My husband enjoyed his strip steak, but was expecting better due to the hype of this dish. Wish they could offer more vegan options as a "galette" is not my first choice. Overall a 3.5/5 for food.Service - Nate was excellent. He was very nice and kindly gave us a free vegan sorbet for our honeymoon. No complaints here so 5/5 for service.Overall this was a good meal. Although this was very pricey. We had better meals on our trip so we might not return next trip, but will definitely keep this one in mind for the future. Not a bad option, just not great.3.75/5 overall

Fantastic food. The New York was fantastic. Loved the risotto. The bread and butter was fantastic. The Manhattan with the vanilla bean was great. The server could have been a little friendlier. He was a little stiff. He needed to relax and have some fun.

Three of us had a reservation for 6:10 PM, we were sat right on time at a table in the rear of the restaurant. The staff is extremely nice and very helpful. Our waitress Adriana was an 11 out of a 1 to 10. The bread and the butter are delicious. We had one cocktail and one glass of wine that were good. Lobster bisque was more of a broth than a bisque. The seafood pasta was a little bit cold, the flavor was OK, and there was very little pasta. Our granddaughter enjoyed the mac & cheese and fruit but unfortunately she did not eat the chicken. The restaurant has a great vibe and if you're not interested in decent size portions, this might be a place for you.

This restaurant provides class and beauty from start to finish. The table was ready at the time of our reservation although we were early so we went out to the boardwalk to wait and watched some jugglers performing. When they texted us and we returned, they remembered us and ushered us through the exquisite dining room to a lovely two top. The ceiling is adorned with glass balls and flying fish in a wave pattern and the colors of the walls are deep blue, giving a sense of being surrounded by water. The serving ware has handled slightly sculpted to give a sense of fish tails, with carved scales in them. Our server came immediately and provided the menus and cocktail lists. My husband ordered an old fashioned and I ordered a vanilla Manhattan. His old fashioned was perfect but I found the Manhattan too creamy and too strong. I think this was a "me-issue" rather than a problem with the drink. But I wish I'd ordered a glass of wine. We then had appetizers. He got a salad which he enjoyed and I ordered the hamachi, served raw. I love raw fish and it was excellent quality - extremely thinly sliced and so tender. However, I had not expected the black pepper flavor of the sauce it was on to be so pronounced. There was a strawberry verjus which I'd looked forward to but I felt the pepper overwhelmed the fruitiness and the fish. I also hadn't realized that verjus isn't just a fancy word (haha) but that it is a specific thing made from unripened grapes so it's more acidic. I'd expected something sweet and instead found it quite tangy and spiced. We both ordered the potato crusted red snapper with leeks. I'd never tasted anything quite like it before. Definitely a strong flavor of leeks but also of almost a cheesiness from the caramelization of the potatoes. The potatoes were crispy and delicious but unlike any potato dish I've had. And the fish was the moistest fish I've had, with a lovely flakiness that provided an excellent contrast to the crispy potato. Unfortunately, I found the dish very rich, which my belly didn't like so I couldn't eat all of it. My husband loved it and finished mine! We were too full for dessert but since we had anniversary pins, they gave us a free little chocolate dessert which was artistically displayed and just the perfect amount of sweetness

A M A Z I N G an Nate our waiter was amazing. We got in late. They couldn't find a reservation, but the manager was gracious enough to to give us a table right away. The food is simply amazing. Scallops are beautiful so were the steak and so was the Seabass I will definitely be coming back.

Met some family for a special dinner at the Flying Fish. What an excellent place. We walked from the Swan hotel to the Fish and were promptly seated. I'm a food/kitchen nerd and, as fate would have it, we were seated next to the open kitchen. I was in my joy watching the grill master throw gorgeous steak after gorgeous steak on the grill. The sounds (sizzle), the smells, the sight, wow. We had cocktails and appetizers to begin. Everything was super tasty and most importantly, we had time and space to enjoy family time and catch up. We felt no rush or pressure to move along. Our waiter was quite good with his timing and took good care of us. We then ordered our meals and another rounds of drinks. Drinks and dinner arrived together. All of the dishes were excellent and prepared as requested. Everyone enjoyed their meals. My New York strip was crusted and rare/medium rare - I requested Chef's preference for steak temperature. I am glad I did. The crust was spectacular and the steak was juicy and delicious. It was a home run. I would recommend the New York Strip if you go. Others said the filets were good until they tried a taste of my NY Strip, to which they all agreed was the best of the table. We did not try any seafood which is odd considering the restaurant is called "The Flying Fish." So nothing to say regarding seafood but if the steaks are my indication of the skills of the kitchen, I am sure the seafood would be great. We wrapped with a shared dessert and headed out. It was a wonderful meal and great time.
