Insider Tip

Paddlefish is built inside a massive triple-deck steamboat moored at Disney Springs — the rooftop deck is the best feature for drinks at sunset. Food quality is solid upscale seafood, though at a price point that requires the experience to match expectations. Request rooftop seating when booking if weather is likely to cooperate. Reservations are available but not always required for bar seating.
