Bourbon Steak Reopens at Disney World Dolphin
Published October 9, 2026 · Updated October 12, 2026
Bourbon Steak by Michael Mina reportedly reopened on Friday, October 9, 2026, at the Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel after a kitchen fire closed the restaurant in June. As of Friday, October 9, the restaurant is reported to be open and fully operational for dinner service.
The fire broke out in the restaurant’s kitchen on June 25, 2026. According to reports, the fire did not damage the hotel itself, but it forced Bourbon Steak to close with no reopening date announced at the time.
Bourbon Steak by Michael Mina is a signature dining restaurant at the Dolphin Hotel, which is part of the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin area but not owned directly by Disney. The restaurant serves a modern American steakhouse menu with beef, seafood, beverages, and desserts.
Dinner hours are listed as 5 PM to 11 PM. Reservations can reportedly be made through My Disney Experience, OpenTable, or by calling (407) 934-1199.

What it means for your trip
If you wanted a signature dinner outside the parks, Bourbon Steak is back in play, but treat availability like any high-demand table-service reservation: check early, then keep watching for cancellations.
This is especially useful if you’re staying near EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, the Swan, Dolphin, or Swan Reserve and want a steakhouse dinner without using park time. Because the Dolphin is not inside a theme park, it can also work as a calmer dinner break on a non-park evening.
If your date is full, set a dining Drop Watch in SupaPark so you get pinged when a table opens, then book it yourself in My Disney Experience, OpenTable, or by phone.
