Reservations Now Open for Ale & Compass Restaurant at Disney’s Yacht Club Resort

Last July Disney announced about the big changes that would be coming to Disney’s Yacht Club Resort dining. As of today, reservations are now available at the new Ale & Compass Restaurant for dining on November 26, 2017, and beyond for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Formerly known as Captain’s Grille, Ale & Compass Restaurant has been completely transformed into a New England gastropub – Disney-style. The on-stage “hearth” oven area, where a select few diners can grab a seat, is the focal point of this warm and inviting space that is reminiscent of an off-shore lighthouse with rich, salvaged materials that are the decorative finishes.

The New England-inspired menus are creative and straight-up delicious — developed by the chefs of Disney’s Flavor Lab, a collaborative team responsible for all new food and beverage concepts across Disney.


Lenny DeGeorge, culinary director for the Flavor Lab, is from the Boston area and spent summers in Cape Cod — where his parents currently reside.

“The menu is inspired by all the great restaurants in the New England area that I have experienced growing up. The New England melting pot of flavors and ingredients from Italy, Portugal, and England, coupled with central Florida influences, are present on the menu that delivers modern gastropub classics.”

My first pick from the menu would be the Blueberry-Bacon Pancakes for breakfast and the Mushroom, Caramelized Onion, and Gruyere Cheeseburger for lunch.

For dinner, it is a toss-up between the Fried Chicken and Waffles with House-made Pickles and Orange-Chili Honey or the Coastal Clambake (1/2 Maine Lobster, Clams, Corn, and Potatoes).

Flavor Lab Executive Pastry Chef Stefan Riemer will not disappoint me as he created a delicious Lemon “Curd” Meringue Pie. But I bet the Twelve-Layer Chocolate Cake (Flourless Chocolate Cake and Ganache served with Milk-Coffee Chantilly) will be the guest favorite.

The expanded and beautifully re-imagined Ale & Compass Lounge is adjacent to the restaurant and will be open to guests beginning Nov. 26. A variety of original and classic cocktails are the stars, but extensive lists of New England and local beers and wine are also available for your sipping pleasure. The lounge menu offers lighter bites such as Caramelized Leek and Chorizo White Clam Hearth “Pie,” Oven Roasted Oysters, and Parker House Rolls with spreads of Bacon Jam, Pub Cheese, and Smoked Trout.
