Enjoy a classic yet sophisticated seafood (or steak) dinner at Flying Fish, a table service restaurant along Disney’s BoardWalk. This seaside dining spot serves up plenty of nostalgia, with familiar favorites on the menu, but everything features a modern and elevated twist thanks to fresh ingredients, visually stunning presentation, and a modern dining atmosphere.
Flying Fish Location
You’ll find Flying Fish on Disney’s BoardWalk, located right next door to AbracadaBar and just across the boardwalk from Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs.
Flying Fish Menu
At first glance, you might assume Flying Fish is your average seafood restaurant. But here, classic seafood and steak dishes are reimagined, and nostalgic seaside meals have been reinterpreted with modern flair and new sophistication.
Open solely for dinner, Flying Fish is home to master chefs who create culinary masterpieces using fresh ingredients from land and sea. Adults will find fine dining staples like Chilean sea bass, filet mignon, and scallops on the menu. The kids menu, too, features plenty of seafood, but chicken and steak are also options.
Do note that Flying Fish is one of Disney World’s Fine/Signature Dining experiences, which means it’s more upscale than your average table service restaurant. The cost of dining here is more expensive, and the menu and experience are more elevated.
Additionally, you’ll need to note the dress code: Per the Disney World website, guests are expected to dress accordingly for this fine dining experience and wear attire that is clean, neat, and in good condition (no swimwear allowed).

Disney Dining Plan
The Disney Dining Plan is accepted at Flying Fish, but you can only use the Disney Dining Plan here – not the Disney Quick-Service Dining Plan. And because it’s a Fine/Signature Dining experience, it’ll cost more in terms of credits to dine here.
It’ll cost two table service meal credits per person to dine at Flying Fish. That’s on par with other unique dining experiences like Cinderella’s Royal Table in Magic Kingdom and Narcoossee’s at the Grand Floridian.
Advance Dining Reservations
For a Signature Dining restaurant like Flying Fish, you’ll need to make an advance dining reservation (ADR) ahead of your visit. Same-day reservations are limited and can be snapped up quickly, particularly because this fine dining establishment only serves one meal daily.
It’s also worth noting that Flying Fish does have a slightly different cancellation policy than some other Disney World restaurants. If you fail to show up for your reservation, you will be charged a per-person fee. Make sure to double-check your reservation if your plans change.
Is Flying Fish Kid-Friendly?
While Fine/Signature Dining restaurants like Flying Fish do welcome kids (it is Disney World, after all, and most spaces are designed for families), you may want to think twice about dining here with particularly young children. I personally like to fully enjoy fine dining experiences, and with kids who may not be able to sit quietly or stick around for multiple courses, eating here (and enjoying your food while it’s hot) may be a bit tricky.
That being said, if you do decide to bring the kids along, there are options for them to enjoy. The kids’ menu features seafood along with some options for picky eaters. And older kids who can happily sit through a meal will likely enjoy dining here, though it is free of any characters or kid-focused touches.
