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. […]

    […] Two months later, in May, the Empress Lilly riverboat, named after Lillian Disney, opened in Lake Buena Vista, bringing elegant dining options to the “Walt Disney World Village” (as it was referred to at the time). This “boat” included three restaurants, a bar/lounge, and a banquet room. The Empress Lilly became Fulton Crab House, and is now known as Paddlefish Disney Springs. […]
