A Paddlefish Disney Springs Review

Blog· Dining· MOVE· Walt Disney World

Paddlefish Disney Springs

Paddlefish, Disney Springs

If you have read my review of this site’s predecessor, Fulton’s Crab House, you know that this spot was a family favorite since its first days as the Empress Lilly. While the location is the same, everything else has changed. Even the views… Located in what is now The Landing in Disney Springs, the restaurant framed with a paddle boat has been completely renovated. Gone are the dark wood and floors (but, oh, I miss that personality), and present are light and open spaces. Cruise along for my full impressions of Paddlefish Disney Springs.

Paddlefish Restaurant at Disney Springs Review

Amphicar at The Boathouse Orlando

Included in your views of Lake Buena Vista are the Amphicar excursions. Watching these colorful restored cars (now boats!) never gets old.

The bar with a view.

Fish remains on the menu, and it gets star billing in an open kitchen. (And this show kitchen really puts on a show!)

And the Seafood and Specialty Boils are the stars of that show.

Alternately, the Swordfish and Mahi Mahi are tasty and safe choices.

Just be warned- entrees are not accompanied by side dishes. If you fail to order anything but a main dish (and if your server does not ask or inform, this is what you will get.

A somewhat sad $42 main dish. This restaurant is not cheap, but the frills are few.

The Burger at $19 is a more affordable option; Skin-On Fries are extra.

That written, the fish is fresh and superb. Gone is the old-school fish house ambiance, and ushered in is a sleek venue. Service continues to improve, and I will await a full critique until Paddlefish is more established. (I learned my lesson from an early experience at Morimoto Asia; restaurants need to “marinate” a bit before reaching full flavor.) Since this Paddlefish Disney Springs review, I have returned to this establishment twice more. I will continue to stop in, but will limit myself to the Sunset Rooftop lounge- the views are legendary!

    Wow, that is one pricey little piece of fish! Good to know about ordering sides separately.

      It is expensive, without a doubt. I think next time I will go up top for a drink, view and some apps. IF it ever stops raining there!!! Thanks for stopping by Julie!

    I think Paddlefish looks so amazing, but I can’t get past the price tag! Definitely a place for a special occasion!

    […] How do you say foodie in Italian?? At Disney Springs it’s pronounced Patina Restaurant Group. Disney fans know the brand well; from Disneyland’s Naples Ristorante E Pizzeria to Walt Disney World’s Tutto Italia Ristorante and Via Napoli Ristorante E Pizzeria, to over 50 other locations worldwide. Though they specialize in ristoranti Italiani, venues such as Morimoto Asia and The Edison also operate under their umbrella. The quality of their newest restaurants, all three in The Landing, is as authentic as their roots in Sicily, Rome, and Naples. Say ciao to Disney Springs. […]

Looking for must-do family projects during the hol Looking for must-do family projects during the holidays? @ColonialWmsburg is an outdoor venue full of evolving history and detail. 

Visit their newest archeological dig- uncovering the site of one of the oldest Black churches in America. Here free and enslaved Christians came to worship during Revolutionary times at the First Baptist Church. 

A step back into Christmastide- 18th Century style- might be particularly appropriate this year. #ColonialWilliamsburg #Virginia #Christmastide #Americanhistory

My last NY to FL road trip was in 1975. At that ti My last NY to FL road trip was in 1975. At that time, between Philadelphia and this destination there were miles and miles of billboards along I-95 (believe it or not, there are far fewer today- in the 70s, they numbered 250!!). Naturally, we were COMPELLED to stop here. Early social media at its best...

South of the Border was originally built on the North Carolina/South Carolina border in 1949 as a Beer Depot (NC was at that time a dry state). They capitalized on their location once again in 1962, when they started selling their now- “famous” fireworks (also then illegal in NC). Which is why this memory is such a standout for my family.

My brother NEEDED a stash of fireworks. Just what a kid from Queens craves? In the middle of August, and though we were not yet close to our destination, my parents caved. Those fireworks sat in the trunk of the family Impala (no air conditioning, mind you), and we proceeded to drive to Walt Disney World. Where the car sat, in the parking lot, on the blacktop, in near 100 degree temps, for over a week. How we didn’t cause a massive explosion at Disney’s Polynesian Village is a miracle that can’t be explained. Pixie Dust, perhaps?

Here’s to nostalgia folks. #I95 #SouthoftheBorder #fireworks #familymemories #itwasmybrother

My favorite part of owning the Marriott Bonvoy car My favorite part of owning the Marriott Bonvoy card? That annual free night. We strategically saved it for the @RitzCarltonAmeliaIsland. Located just 30 miles from Jacksonville, this barrier island was well worth the detour. And the Ritz? This property lives up to the name.

Though we just this once broke our “no elevators “ rule (we held our masked breath 😆) the Ritz-Carlton brand is one I trust for safety. #businesstravel #RitzCarlton #MarriottBonvoy #MarriottCleanlinessCouncil

In the 1970s, my family was one of the final check In the 1970s, my family was one of the final check-ins at this landmark resort built by Standard Oil’s Henry Flagler. Though the Hotel Ponce de León had long lost its luster, the memory is still a nostalgic gem to us. 

Thankfully, the structure (and its Tiffany-stained glass windows) survived as @FlaglerCollege. Unfortunately, tours have been suspended due to COVID-19. I won’t wait another 50 years to return. 😉 #USNationalRegisterofHistoricPlaces #HistoricStAugustine #Florida

I haven’t stepped foot inside a church since @St I haven’t stepped foot inside a church since @StLouisCathedral on Ash Wednesday, but I masked up to say a quick prayer inside this oratory.

Built as the centerpiece of Ave Maria University and planned community,  this Gothic steel and stone structure was designed by one of Frank Lloyd Wright’s students. Minimalist with the exception of the exquisite 30-foot sculpture depicting the Annunciation on its facade. 

Inspiration. #AveMaria #oratory #Florida #middleofnowhere
