Where is the Yachtsman Steakhouse located?

Yachtsman Steakhouse, which features high-grade steaks, fresh seafood, free-range chicken and more, is located at Disney’s Yacht Club Resort at Walt Disney World . 

Disney’s Yacht Club is located inside the EPCOT area, near Disney’s Boardwalk and Disney’s Beach Club. In case you aren’t familiar, Disney describes this resort as:

Delight in the formal grace of a grand New England-style yacht club at this lakeside hotel. Relax in the inviting elegance of a plush lobby replete with nautical touches, explore the whimsical Stormalong Bay and rent a variety of watercraft from Bayside Marina. Sharing many amenities with its pastel-toned sister, Disney’s Beach Club Resort, Disney’s Yacht Club Resort is walking distance to Epcot and a convenient boat ride to Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

How to get to the Yachtsman Steakhouse

If you are staying on property, there are a few different transportation options you can take in order to get to Yachtsman Steakhouse.

If you are staying at any of the EPCOT resorts — including Disney’s Yacht Club, Disney’s Beach Club , Disney’s Boardwalk , Walt Disney World Swan Hotel, or Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel — you can either walk to Disney’s Yacht Club by following the path around the lake, or you can opt to take the friendship boat. This also goes for if you are visiting the EPCOT theme park for the day, you can either walk over to Disney’s Yacht Club or take the friendship boat. Be sure to use the park exit near World Showcase and not the main entrance.

If you are staying at any of the other Walt Disney World hotels on property, you can either take a complimentary bus to one of the theme parks (or to Disney Springs) and catch a bus to Disney’s Yacht Club from there.

If you are visiting Disney’s Hollywood Studios for the day and want to get to Yachtsman Steakhouse from the theme park, you can take the friendship boats directly to Disney’s Yacht Club by utilizing the launch outside of the park entrance.

If you are visiting one of the other theme parks, either Magic Kingdom or Disney’s Animal Kingdom, you can take a bus directly to Disney’s Yacht Club.

And lastly, if you opted, you could also use the Lyft app to call for a car to take you directly there, however, this is not complimentary, and depending on where you are located on the Disney World property, it can cost you upwards of a few dollars. For more information on using Lyft at Disney World, visit our website here.

Yachtsman Steakhouse features an upscale and elegant setting that immediately transports Guests to the seaside through its décor and beautiful views of the lighthouse and Crescent Lake just outside the windows. Featuring several dining areas, most of the Yachtsman Steakhouse charms Guests with rustic pine beams, subtly patterned carpeting, crisp white tablecloths, nautical details adorning the walls, and light fixtures that mimic lanterns.

One particular room at Yachtsman Steakhouse features a curved wall of windows looking out at Crescent Lake that is accented with a deep teal color, rounded windows that mimic portholes, and stately wooden beams. The ceiling in this room is the most stunning feature, and Guests can look up to find a large, lantern-themed chandelier in the center of wavy wooden accents and a series of windows that would look at home on the back of a stately vintage ship.

The other seafood appetizer option is the classic Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail, which is poached in Old Bay seasoning and served with lemon and house-made cocktail sauce.

The butcher’s cut steaks are obviously what Yachtsman Steakhouse is most popular for, and Guests have several indulgent options to choose from for their entrees, each of which is served with one accompaniment selection such as mashed potatoes, potatoes-leek gratin, or house-made French fries. Enhancements can also be added to each butcher’s cut steak and Guests will love decadent choices like Oscar-style with Alaskan King Crab, asparagus, and Bearnaise, or olive-oil poached Half Maine Lobster.

There are four butchers cut steaks to select from at Yachtsman Steakhouse, some of which can be seen hanging in the dry-aging room when entering the restaurant. Guests can opt for the 8-oz Filet Mignon served with cognac-truffle butter, the 14-oz Roasted Prime Rib with horseradish cream and au jus, 16-oz Rib-Eye Steak accompanied by blue-cheese shallot butter, or the 12-oz New York Strip Steak with brandy-peppercorn sauce.

In addition to the butcher’s cut steaks, there are also several other land and sea entrée options at Yachtsman Steakhouse for Guests who are looking for something different. Guests who are still looking for a meat-based meal can enjoy the Dry-Aged Duroc Pork Chop with heirloom grits, charred rappini, and apple-cognac gastrique, or the Peruvian-Barbecued Chicken with colusari red rice, Brussels sprouts, fennel, and piquillo sauce.

Fresh seafood options are also available to Guests dining at Yachtsman Steakhouse, beginning with the Chef’s Catch of the Day, which rotates daily and is served with a charred tomatillo sauce, sunchokes, chorizo, pearl onions, and cilantro espuma. Also available is the delicious Seafood Cioppino which features a generous portion of shrimp, scallops, clams, mussels, Ludic Absinthe, and fregola sarda.

Yachtsman Steakhouse is a largely traditional steakhouse, but there are also certain options to meet dietary preferences or restrictions, ensuring that there is something on the menu for every Guest to enjoy. The Sweet Potato and Seasonal Mushroom Dumplings are a plant-based entrée option that are accompanied by haricot vert, petite sorrel, and soubise.

Guests who are looking to truly indulge in an over-the-top meal at Yachtsman Steakhouse can choose from two Chef’s Signature Options which are designed to be shared between two Guests. The 28-oz Porterhouse for Two comes served with cognac-truffle butter and the choice of two steakhouse sides, and is the perfect romantic meal to share while dining at Yachtsman Steakhouse for dinner.

The other Chef’s Signature Offering menu option is the ultimate seafood indulgence that two Guests can share together. The Chilled Admiral’s Tower for Two is a massive and impressive serving of Maine lobster, snow crab, tuna tartar, jumbo shrimp, mussels, scallop ceviche, and charred octopus salad.

No traditional steakhouse meal is complete without some classic sides, and Guests can order up as many as they would like to accompany their delicious butcher’s cut steaks and more. Steakhouse side selections at Yachtsman Steakhouse include Truffle Macaroni & Cheese, Roasted Seasonal Mushrooms, Creamed Spinach, Grilled Colossal Asparagus with Meyer lemon vinaigrette, House-made Truffle Fries, and Haricot Vert with Parmesan cream and crispy shallots.

After so many delicious appetizers and entrée options, Guests might find themselves completely stuffed, but Yachtsman Steakhouse also serves up some totally decadent dessert options, including one specialty item that celebrates the Walt Disney World Resort’s 50 th anniversary. Celebrating Layers of Magic features a rich chocolate cake with alternating layers of caramel and espresso mousse, chocolate chiffon with salted caramel crunch, chocolate ganache, and cassis cake and cream garnished with cocoa nib tuile and coconut-cassis sauce.

The Yachtsman Chocolate Cake is a very popular dessert option big enough for two Guests that features a chocolate decadence cake, dark chocolate mousse, mixed berry curd, peanut butter crunch, and mousse. Other dessert options at Yachtsman Steakhouse include Strawberry Shortcake, Crème Brulée with pickled local blueberries, orange, and candied Meyer lemon, and the plant-based Pineapple and Coconut Tart.

Review: Yachtsman Steakhouse at Disney’s Yacht Club Resort

By AJ 17 Comments

Today, we’re taking a look at a top notch restaurant on Disney property — Yachtsman Steakhouse .

The Yachtsman has been a consistently great restaurant throughout the years. We had heard some new things about the menu, so it was time to head back and get the scoop.

Located at Disney’s Yacht Club, the Yachtsman Steakhouse is decorated with the same beautiful wood and neutral palette that you’ll find throughout the rest of the resort. Soft lighting and a nod to Arts and Crafts touches lend a refined yet relaxed air to the spot.

As you enter the restaurant, you’ll actually pass by the steak trimming room , which features a large window allowing guests to check out the steak aging process. At this point, you know you’re in a steakhouse that takes that moniker seriously.

En route to the dining room, you also pass by an open kitchen with its bustling activity and delicious smells.

The dining area is broken up into several smaller spaces. My favorite is a round dining room that soars two stories high and is crowned with a lovely Craftsman-style chandelier at its peak.

Two-Story Dining Room

The circular space gives the room a bit of whimsy, and you dine while looking out on Stormalong Bay, the resort’s premium pool and water park.

Circular Dining Room

Honestly, I’m not really bowled over by fantastic themeing here. But the setting is comfortable with big substantial chairs and warm lighting. It’s simple, and doesn’t include fussy accessories or extras — just like a good steak!

And since the food is usually exceptional here, you don’t really miss the distraction of flashy decor elements.

Dining Room

It was time to tuck into our own comfortable two top and take a look at the menu. Come join us!

Coming from a long, fun, warm day of theme park hopping, we were anxious to kick off our meal with a few interesting beverage options.

The menu here changes up regularly since it’s a signature restaurant; and since the Yachtsman chef moved over to Le Cellier in 2012, the restaurant has been searching for its legs under the new head honcho.

As is the trend with many signature restaurants, there is an emphasis on seasonal offerings; so some of the dishes that you see here probably won’t be on the menu when you head to Yachtsman. But if they aren’t, you’ll find similarly intriguing options during your visit! (For current offerings, be sure to visit our Yachtsman Steakhouse restaurant page , where you’ll find all updated menu links.)

Here is the Drink Menu on the Yachtsman menu from our visit. Note that most of these are straight out of the standard Disney Bar and Lounge menu .

Drink Menu -- Click to Enlarge

I actually chose a drink that was from the bar menu and not listed in Yachtsman’s menu list — the Pimm’s Punch . I’d had it previously on the trip and wanted to see if it was still a winner! It includes Pimm’s No. 1 Liqueur, Hendrick’s, Odwalla Lemonade, and Wil Strawberry. (Thoughts? Still good, but not AS good as the one I’d had previously. Bartenders make a huge difference.)

Strawberry Julep

My husband surveyed the Beer Menu and found a few interesting options. (Nope — that green crayon streak is NOT from us; I promise.)

Beer Menu -- Click to Enlarge

Ultimately, he chose the Full Sail Session Black Lager . A little shorter than a normal bottle (coming in at just 11 ounces), he agreed with the description that this dark beer was rich, but less heavy than most dark brews.

Full Sail Session Black Lager

With our thirst attended to, we turned our attention to the Appetizer Menu . Because it was October (basically, still summer in Florida), you definitely see lots of fresh produce options here.

Appetizer Menu -- Click to Enlarge

The Entrees also vary season to season. However, you’ll almost always find a selection of the most popular cuts of steak. What’s interesting to note is that, contrary to previous visits, the listed sides are no longer always interchangeable .

I used to be able to substitute any listed side for any other, but your server will tell you which sides are allowed to be substituted now.

Entrees Menu -- Click to Enlarge

The extra sides are, again, subject to seasonal availability. The chefs at Yachtsman are committed to bringing you what’s best at the time. That said, that truffle mac and cheese has been on the menu for ages, and it’s always a good choice.

Sides Menu -- Click to Enlarge

Having chosen our appetizers, entrees, and sides, we were ready to savor the complementary Bread Service . Yachtsman offers something really special bread-wise — in addition to standard sourdough rolls, you’ll also find onion rolls with a rich, pull-apart texture.

To accompany the house-made breads, you’ll receive salted butter and a ramekin of roasted garlic that is super-soft, spreadable, and delicious. (Just be careful with the onion bread and roasted garlic if this is date night… .)

Bread Basket with Roasted Garlic and Onions Bread

For our appetizer, we went with a new-to-us item on the menu — the Beef Pot Stickers . I love how the Yachtsman frequently takes a traditional dish and gives it a twist using steak!

Beef Potstickers

The presentation was beautiful with the lotus root and daikon radish accent. (There was initially some confusion when our server thought the lotus root was cheese…obviously not the case. But we got it ironed out in short order.)

The Yuzu-Soy Glaze stood up to the hearty beef filling really well, without compromising the classic flavors of the dish. This was a win for sure.

Beef Potsticker -- Up Close

My husband went with the Caesar Salad . The addition of Bresaola , an air-dried, cured beef, offered an extra punch of flavor to the dish. A classic steakhouse item, it was hearty, fresh, and crisp.

Caesar Salad

After experimenting with some different entrees during my last visit here , I went with my favorite menu item this time: the 16-Ounce Boneless Ribeye . The ribeye was served with bone marrow, sweet onion jam, and brioche in addition to the flavorful Red Wine Butter . However, I asked for Herb Fries as my side dish instead, and they had no trouble accommodating my request.

I kind of regret not ordering the bone marrow, as I have no idea what it would look or taste like, but those herb fries were worth the switch, I think. The salty, flavorful herbs on the crisp fries made an awesome side with the slightly sweet red wine butter.

16 Ounce Boneless Ribeye with Herb Fries Substituted

As always, my steak was cooked perfectly inside.

Steak -- Up Close

My husband went with the 12-Ounce Prime New York Strip Steak , which was served with a beautiful Carmody Potato Gratin . The Brandy-Peppercorn Sauce was a great, savory accompaniment.

12 Ounce Prime New York Strip Steak

But of course, we couldn’t stop there! When you are in a steakhouse, there must be some classic sides; and you’ve never know us to shy away from the sides list! First, we chose that Truffle Macaroni and Cheese that we love so much.

This is just gooey enough to be comfort food, but brings in a few more adult flavors as well. The cheese sauce is flavored with Reypenaer , a sharp and tangy Gouda. The truffle essence comes through distinctly, so if you aren’t a fan, you should consider another dish. And the choice of orecchiette pasta is exactly right for cradling the rich cheese sauce. Pretty heavenly.

Truffle Macaroni and Cheese

And I couldn’t resist trying the fresh Zellwood Corn as well. (Don’t worry — I shared. A little.) Grilled with rosemary butter and topped with bacon marmalade (!) , the only thing that could make this better is a little cream… .

Zellwood Corn

What a meal!

We did take a look at the dessert drinks and menu, but in the end, we decided nothing looked as good to us as the treats next door at Beaches and Cream . 😉

I’ve had both the Lemon Pudding Cake and the Habanero-Infused Flourless Chocolate Cake on previous occasions, and I can happily recommend both.

That Peanut Butter and Pretzel cake is pretty awesome as well! Here’s a bite-sized version I had at Party for the Senses at the Epcot Food and Wine Festival !

Peanut Butter and Pretzel Gianduja Cake (bite-sized version at Party for the Senses)

But on this particular evening, after all that beautiful food, what we craved most was a walk!

I’m always thrilled when the chance to review Yachtsman Steakhouse comes up. In a sea of Disney restaurants that can be vastly unpredictable, the meals that we have had here continue to be reliably solid, delicious choices.

Sure, it’s pricey. But usually it’s worth it. Our only complaint on most visits is that service is often very slow (and sometimes bumbling).

If you’re celebrating a special occasion, or you’re just looking for a way to wisely spend those Disney Dining Plan table service credits, I heartily recommend that you give Yachtsman Steakhouse a try. I have had some of my best Disney meals here, and I’m confident that you will as well.

We love, love, love Yachtsman! After our first dining experience there a few years ago, it quickly supplanted our longtime favorite, Le Cellier, as the best steak on property. Reading this made me so hungry!

My husband loves that truffle mac & cheese, though he’s not normally a big fan of truffles. I like truffles just fine, but didn’t care for the mac & cheese at all. Go figure! Maybe I’ll have to give it another try on our next visit.

We have always been lucky to have great service at Yachtsman. Our most recent visit was on Christmas Day 2011 with a large party (9 of us). Our server was truly outstanding, and I regret that I cannot remember his name.

February 18, 2013 at 11:02 am

Should have tried the marrow. If you can get past what it is, it is absolutely delicious.

I agree with what you said about Yatchsman, including the service. Really enjoy the food and can’t wait to get back for some steak, mac, and charcuterie.

February 18, 2013 at 11:12 am

We are going there on our first night of our WDW vacation in June! Can’t wait. Haven’t been there in years.

February 18, 2013 at 12:43 pm

We are going here in September and I can’t wait to try it! AJ, would you recommend going to Yachtsman’s twice and Le Cellier once or the other way around? Thanks

February 18, 2013 at 1:26 pm

We used to love Yachtsman, then had one meal with poor service and we gave it a miss for a while. Then last year we went on the first night of our stay and were bowled over by the food. It’s definitely back on our must-eat list!

We thought the Zellwood Corn side was mind-blowingly good. The sweet, fresh corn, the herby background notes and the savoury taste of the bacon were a spectacular combination. We ended up eating at Yachtsman a second time on that vacation because the meal and service had been so great, and we had a second terrific meal (with the corn again!) I also adore the onion pull-apart concertina bread. It is so fluffy and flavourful, and so delicate if you peel it off leaf by leaf.

I enjoyed the Pretzel Gianduja with salted caramel gelato with both meals we ate there, and wow it was good. The first time (at the start of our trip) I managed about 2 bites, but by the meal at the end of our trip I practically licked my plate clean! I think I have a photo of the dessert with the gelato on the plate as it was served – I can look it out and email it to you if you like AJ?

February 18, 2013 at 1:58 pm

Hands down my favorite restaurant on Disney( Artist Point/California grill are tied fro 2nds). The service and food have always been top notch. This is a must do on every trip. It has never failed us( or even come close).

February 18, 2013 at 2:49 pm

I was really disappointed in my meal at Yachtsman’s Steakhouse. We had high expectations, but the quality served to us was on par with some chain restaurants. Ingredients listed were substituted with cheaper ingredients or left off the plate. Our service was awful. We won’t go back. We’ve had excellent meals at almost every other Signature restaurant at WDW.

February 18, 2013 at 3:43 pm

My husband and I ate here on our honeymoon and it was the best meal of our trip for sure. My husband asked for the mac and cheese instead of the bone marrow, but they brought the marrow out by accident. Our server saw the mistake before we did and grabbed the mac and cheese but left the bone marrow for us to try, and oh man was it ever good! Make sure you try it next time!

February 18, 2013 at 9:34 pm

Would you consider Yachtsman’s Steakhouse a prudent use of two dining credits? I am inclined to think it would not be. The comments regarding the less than stellar service is concerning. Especially if this is considered a high-end restaurant…..

February 18, 2013 at 9:46 pm

We’ve stayed at the Beach Club each of the last two summers and have yet to eat at Yachtsman. We greatly regret missing out on it while we are they and look in the windows longingly but it just never made the must-do list while staying so close to World Showcase. It sounds awesome though and is a must-do for our next BC stay. The bone marrow sounds really interesting.

February 18, 2013 at 11:35 pm

Scott, I think it is worth two credits if you really enjoy beef. I respect the views of the person that had a bad experience, but there is no restaurant in the world that has a 100% perfect record – but in general, Yachtsmen’s gets good reviews. I had a porterhouse that was amazingly flavourful here, and my entire family of carnivores enjoyed it. I am told Shula’s is also excellent for steak, but I haven’t tried that. Yachtsmen’s beats all the other steaks I’ve had on WDW property.

Can anyone tell me, are those crispy onions on top of the mac and cheese? I detest onions.

Thanks, Wendy

February 19, 2013 at 6:27 am

I’m a veggie and have still always had a great meal here… the corn and truffle agnolotti was incredible! It was the same veggie option that they had in Oct 2012, so they probably don’t change the menu often, but it definitely won’t be a let down to eat that dish again!

February 19, 2013 at 8:38 am

It’s our #1 Disney restaurant. Expensive but best food. I agree with the server comments but with such a meal, we are ok taking it slow.

I can’t eat nuts or corn so the head chef always come out to meet with us. The chef here was very attentive and sent some pork fat whipped into a butter like concoction for our steaks. I’ve only seen that done on the food channel and it was awesome.

I like the flying fish a little more, but my wife and kids out vote me 🙂 we just book both now.

February 19, 2013 at 1:42 pm

My Fiancé and I ate here in September 2012. Needless to say… every steak we’ve had since then had been compared to our dinner here and nothing has come close. We loved the pot stickers, filet, and porterhouse. The lobster bisque was just okay, but overall the meal was amazing. I’m excited to be bringing a few friends here later this year in September!

February 19, 2013 at 4:18 pm

Thanks for your thoughts regarding the experience you and your families experience at the Yachtsman’s Steakhouse. We will give this a lot of consideration for our trip later this year.

February 20, 2013 at 4:40 pm

In the last 2 weeks we had Filet at LeCellier, Shula’s, and Yachtsman. We concluded that Yachtsman has the best Filet.

We return to Yachtsman every year, but our recent “exploration” has caused us to decide never to deviate from Yachtsman again!

The truffle mac&cheese was a bit too strong to be kid friendly. Definitely a grown up item. (They did tell us that the kid mac&cheese is available again!)

We were able to substitute for the mashed potatoes (which are good, but we weren’t in the mood): Caramelized onions – loved by the balsamic lover, not liked by the non-balsamic lovers. Sauteed mushrooms – loved by most at the table, not liked by the no-herb-flavor diner. Potato gratin – we all vied for this one.

BTW, our favorite dessert is the The Yachtsman Sundae – Trio of Gelato with Amarena Cherries !!! 3 flavors of gelato, but some of us ask for all 3 scoops to be chocolate!

Restaurant-Yacht Chaika

Ratings and reviews, location and contact.

Pleasantly surprised, service is good so is the food. Great selection of Fusion food, a mixture of Italian, Japanese, European, Asian etc. A pleasantly nice dining experience, highly recommended, a must try!

Thank you for your feedback and invite you to have lunch or dinner again aboard the ship in an atmosphere of high standards of yacht hospitality.

everything was perfect - the food, the service, the desserts were the best, nice atmosphere and the location - magical

Best food, best view in Moscow. absolutely faultless from arrival to finish. Best risotto i had for many years absolutely perfectly cooked. The view on Ukrainian hotel and the white house by night is amazing

Had to wait for the food for 1.5 hours and then another 20 minutes for the check. Finally called for the manager and he offered... a 10% discount as a compensation. Simply pathetic! The food is mediocre at best. Not bad per se, but one... would expect something better considering the prices. There are many places to eat in area that are much better. Avoid this one at all costs.

Hello, Alexander Your comment is extremely important for us, thank you a lot for it. We are terribly sorry for your time that you`ve spent waiting your order and we have already taken actions to improve quality of our service and it would be realy... More

Food is very expensive,very pretentious, doesn't worth that money. Portions are very small. We ordered ravioli and there were 4! Four raviolis! For almost 15 euros. Then we asked to bring us dessert menu but nothing, they didn't even bothered, so we payed and left... without dessert. Very poor service for that price. More

This is a very good restaurant. The food is really good, maybe the best in Moscow. The service is also good. The view from the restaurant is great. The prices are very high.

I often visit this restaurant and must say it’s one of the best in Moscow in terms of quality and service. Staff really try hard to make sure that you are happy and satisfied. Customer service is a huge problem in Moscow but Chaika sets... a great example for others in the industry! Food is delicious and the menu has lots of options for everyone! Atmosphere is great and view is beautiful on the embankment. Special thanks to German & Oleg! More

Thank you for your feedback! Again aboard the yacht restaurant "Chaika" in accordance with the high standards of yacht hospitality.

Highly recommended, great location in the city center of Moscow with a superb atmosphere. Too many menu choices, though all delicious!

Thx a lot for your review! We are looking forward to see you in our restaurants.

Visited this lovely restaurant with a friend of mine. It was relaxingly warm August evening - so the place on the river seemed like a good idea. We came quite early and the restaurant was not full. The hostesses kindly offered several places to sit... and we chose to sit on the sofas. We had some wine, which was good. We struggled a bit when deciding about the food as few options (scallops) were not available. Fish on ice on display did not look very fresh. To be honest it was an unusually hot August and it is probably understandable that some see food options were not available. However, we did manage to order something and sat waiting and looking onto the river. My long-legged friend struggled sitting at the low sofa and the manager noticed that, offering as a very good, proper table beside the open window. It was nice touch and I was very pleased by their polite observations and immediate reaction to solve the problem. Food was quite good and presentation was perfect. Perhaps I can something about the food, but 1 visit is not enough to criticize or make a definitive opinion. Overall, quality place, which of course, does not come cheap. I would recommend this restaurant without hesitation. More

Good afternoon! Thank you for your detailed feedback! We are looking forward to seeing you again, we are sure that you will be delighted with our dishes!

I've been here several times during two business trip in Moscow. The overall quality for both service and food is absolutely top-notch, plus the location is very unique.

Hello! Thank you for your feedback! We are looking forward to visiting again!

Located on a boat at Krasnopresenskaya River Bank this 5 Star Restaurant transforms into a party location due to multiple groups hosting events. Impressive wine selection, Asian and European kitchen...

Thx a lot! We are waiting for you!

It is a nice place to gather specially at the lounge The service and staff very good I like the river view The food is almost like all restaurants in Russia they serve different cuisine. Staring Russian appetizer till Asian dishes Presentation and taste amazing... I consider it overpriced little bit More

Good location. Nice views. Good choice of food and drinks. European and Asian menu. Nice service. Pricey enough.

Had a large group dinner here. Food was above average and service quite good. The real attraction is the view of Moscow from the river on a nice night. Great place for a larger group dinner. More

Hello, John We are really pleased by reading that you and your friends were satisfied by our service, client`s experience is the highest value for us. We will be happy to see you again, come and enjoy some new dishes from our chef and nice... More

The luxurious atmosphere of this place, the view and the location make it quite outstanding. We had dinner here with friends and the dishes were amazing, accompanied by a chilled bottle of Chablis, it really made me feel as if it was a part of... the classic Russian movie. More
