Yachtsman Steakhouse

[Grandmaof2]

We are planning a trip next summer an d would like to visit Epcot and have dinner at the Yachtsman Steakhouse. How strict is their dress code?

 

[ShellieMimi]

Not strict. Don't come in a bathing suit or ripped tank top, basically.

Ok Thanks!

Ok Thanks!

Actually here is the published dress code. At this Signature Dining experience, Guests are asked to adhere to the dress code. Men may wear khakis, slacks, jeans or dress shorts and collared shirts. Sport coats are optional. Women may wear Capri pants, skirts, dresses, jeans or dress shorts.

I believe the general term is "resort casual" for most WDW signature restaurants (V&A is an extremely notable exception) at the resorts, as opposed to "theme park attire" which would be accepted at locations inside the parks (Brown Derby, Le Cellier, etc.).

Best meal I ever had on Disney property. Best filet milgon imo. Casual wear is fine.

Was mine as well until the steaks at the Boathouse topped them on the last trip. Can't go wrong with either IMO. Will still go to Yachtsman for the Truffles and Mac.

Nope. That's not the required dress. That's a suggestion. Casual wear is perfectly fine. All OP needs to know is this:

Not permitted in the dining room are tank tops, swimsuits, swimsuit cover-ups, hats for gentlemen, cut-offs, torn clothing and shirts with offensive language or graphics.

I copied and pasted it from the official Disney website and no where does it say "suggested". We dined there Saturday night and most people were dressed in resort casual, some dresses, most men had collared shirts. Not permitted will mean you may not be seated but why walk the line at an expensive venue.

It says "asked" - not "required."

It's not walking the line. It's COMPLETELY acceptable to wear denim, shorts that aren't cutoffs, etc.

It says in the dress code that jeans are acceptable. Personally I don't care what others wear to dinner but if most guests are dressed in resort casual I would feel most comfortable conforming to that standard. i would not be comfortable in shorts or a theme park tee shirt. I wore white capris and a top. My husband and sons wore collared polos. Some were dressed better than we were, but very few were dressed more casually.

The dress code has become more and more relaxed most places. We were there about a month ago and had a signature just about every night. Yacht Club was just like most places where we saw EVERYTHING. There were people in business casual but also people in sloppy park wear with a few even in tanks and flip flop. The only place we saw a dress code displayed was CG. We saw no on there in obvious park clothes. We did eat there later than most places so not sure if that made a difference.

I think appropriate clothing is a show of self respect. It's not gourmet...they've streamlined the menus into oblivion...but if you're willing to pay $55 for something (no point excuses)...then find some pants and a few buttons, please?

I agree. We planned our day for a break to shower and change for dinner.

Agreed. We've eaten there twice, and it is not a flip-flops & t-shirts kind of restaurant.
