Right now we are setting sail to Ale & Compass at Disney’s Yacht Club Resort. This resort is brimming with that New England come to feel, and the lobby is filled with nautical theming. I have in no way been to Ale & Compass, so I am intrigued to see the end result of this practical experience.
This is how Disney describes the eating area.
Dine on New England ease and comfort food and vintage seafood dishes in a coastal-motivated restaurant which is reminiscent of a cozy lighthouse.

Appetizers
There had been a few of us at the desk, and we each requested various appetizers. Before I soar into people, I just wanted to converse about how accommodating they were with allergic reactions. They gave me an allergy menu for my dairy allergy, and the server also designed a notice of it and advised the chef immediately. Everything I ordered experienced a pretty allergy adhere that notified me it was protected to take in. Now let’s soar into the foods.
Pete ordered the Parker Home Rolls and Spreads for his appetizer. Even though the spreads were very good, this appetizer ought to have been a common bread service for the restaurant. It would’ve added a nice contact if it was finished that way. These rolls have been $13, and we concluded that if it is heading to be priced that way, the appetizer should’ve come with much more bread.
Patreon members helped Craig select out his food (Patreon is a entertaining position and a good way to assist our content), so for his starter, he acquired the Lobster and Corn Chowder. He described it wasn’t heavy in shellfish taste to the position you couldn’t even convey to it was created with lobster, but at minimum it was creamy. He wasn’t amazed with the crackers, but Craig did say he would buy this once again. He described that the soup experienced some ‘zip’ to it and had that Outdated Bay seasoning flavor. The soup is priced at $13, just like the rolls. Craig also reported that the soup strike the place but wished that the potatoes in the soup had been a bit softer.
I received the Roasted “Buffalo-Style” Cauliflower. I cherished my dish so much. I genuinely take pleasure in buffalo sauce it’s the perfect quantity of spicy, in my opinion, and I adore cauliflower. If my 5-yr-old self heard me say that, she would be shocked. I advise that if you are delicate to spicy foodstuff, don’t buy this for clear explanations. If you adore spicy foods, get this and take in the cauliflower at the bottom, those people pieces are drenched in buffalo sauce. This appetizer price tag $9, which I did not consider was awful due to the fact it came with a whole lot of cauliflower, absolutely plenty of to share with someone.
Entrees
Pete purchased the Grilled Cheese Sandwich and Tomato Soup has his entree. The grilled cheese is produced with artisanal country bread, aged white cheddar, gruyere, and fontina cheese with truffle butter. You can also include bacon or region ham at an supplemental charge. He added bacon to his grilled cheese, bringing the cost to $17. It was a good grilled cheese, but almost nothing out of this globe. When I noticed the soup from across the table, I believed they had accidentally specified him a facet of purple pasta sauce, but no, it was tomato soup. He said the soup resembled an unseasoned purple sauce simply because it lacked flavor and was not creamy.
As I outlined before, our attractive Patreon supporters voted for Craigs meal, and the optimum votes were among the Bacon and Vermont Cheddar Burger and the Blackened Sustainable Fish Tacos. Craig went with the burger, and I chose the tacos. The burger came out looking completely staged, which was awesome to see. Immediately after reducing it open, Craig mentioned it was cooked to perfection, which is shocking considering the historical past of Disney burgers. The burger itself, according to him, wasn’t seasoned, which manufactured it lack flavor. This Bacon and Vermont Cheddar Burger had the potential to be just one of the improved burgers on home, but it needs some get the job done. The sandwich price tag $21. Now the fries that came with the burger have been effectively acquired by these at the table. I did not consider them, but you could notify they were being cooked completely and salted to perfection.
As I outlined above, I bought the fish tacos. This was love at initially bite. The Mahi-Mahi was cooked to perfection and seasoned surprisingly. The tacos are produced with chilled cucumber slaw, avocado, chipotle remoulade, and flour tortillas. It may possibly have been love at first chunk, but some items could’ve been better. That chilled slaw was nowhere close to chilled. I could convey to it was sitting beneath a heat lamp for the reason that the lime that came with the dish was warm. I would appreciate to test this dish with the slaw at the ideal temperate due to the fact I feel that would incorporate dynamic to the foods. I can say it did add texture, though, which I appreciated. The chipotle remoulade was delectable, I unfold it all above each individual taco, and it included that ideal kick to the dish. These tacos cost $17, which I didn’t imagine was poor for a few fish tacos. I rate these tacos an 8 out of 10, but I feel if the slaw were being chilled, it would’ve been a 10 out of 10 for me.
Total the meal was fantastic. I cannot say it was the ideal foodstuff I have had on Disney assets, but it was not the worst. I could see myself placing this cafe in my best ten but not my top rated 5. The company was decent, but the meal’s pacing was slightly off. It took an abnormally extended time for the appetizers to occur out. Of course, that afflicted the flow of the entrees coming out. The inside of the restaurant was dark, and in its place of building us truly feel cozy, it produced us want to just take a nap. My greatest critique of the layout is that there requires to be far more mild entering the spot. Will I appear again to Ale & Compass? Of course, I will, but will I fight tooth a nail for a reservation? No.
