Has anyone heard about Steakhouse 55 reopening?

Oh I hope they reopen! It was such a nice part of my trips—breakfast and the chocolate layer cake! Yum!

Makes me wonder how much of the SH55 interiors are still in place. Anyone know if they just locked the doors and left everything in situ or if they cleared everything out to prep for a new 'dining experience'?

If they do reopen it would be so nice to walk into familiar surroundings.

I agree! I would love to see the old Hollywood portraits on the walls. I loved the intimacy of the restaurant, too. So many restaurants these days are 'warehousey' and loud.

It seems like it's all still there.

Interesting thought. But I have a feeling if it does reopen, especially if it reopens without major redecorating or updating, that it's probably more likely that it was deemed more 'fiscally responsible' to reopen 'as is' with just some 'spiffing up' rather than splash money out on something completely new.

I never understood why anyone thought it needed a 'retheme' in the first place, other than the idea being some executive's boondoggle idea that it would rake in big cash.

When they closed and DW opened, I was thinking they just moved over the decor but seems that is not the case.

So hoping this is true! Many happy anniversary and memories here!!

I would be soooooo happy if they bring back Steakhouse 55!

As much as I would love Steakhouse 55, last I heard (NYE) it isn't happening. But I can hope too...

Eeek! Fingers crossed we get some good news soon!

Saw an article on another Disney Blog site that construction curtains are up in front of SH55. No info on what is happening, just a sign saying “Imagineering in Progress”.

Either bring it back as the original SH55 or Brown Derby.

I could go for Brown Derby. Rather have S55 but the BD wouldn't be bad for a second choice.

Does anyone know if the S55 sign has been there since closing or has it been put back up?

I just hope whatever they do has the Afternoon Tea. That's a bucket list item for me and one of my friends.

I was at Goofy's kitchen in July last year and saw the Steakhouse 55 sign then, so probably was never removed.

 

[DizMe]

From what I read (I think it was posted by Malcon10t), nothing from the restaurant was removed when it closed.

It’s been up the entire time.

Watch it become an exclusive DVC lounge. They better not.

That would be tragic. A resort hotel needs a table service restaurant (that’s not a character buffet).
