“The Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin is the ideal location for Bourbon Steak,” Mina said in a prepared statement. “Their strong commitment to culinary excellence aligns perfectly with our vision at The Mina Group. We see it as an ideal partnership, and I look forward to spending time with the local team to realize this dynamic new project.”
Bourbon Steak will replace Shula’s Steakhouse inside the Walt Disney World Dolphin hotel. Reservations for Shula’s will be available until June 14, according to a news release.
Meanwhile, this marks the tenth Bourbon Steak location to open across the U.S., but the third in Florida, as it has one in Delray Beach and Miami.
The restaurant offers multiple items such as, shrimp cocktail, caviar, scallops, lobster pot pie, Chilean seabass and whole roasted chicken. It also has different cuts and types of steak from a filet mignon, bone-in ribeye and Japanese wagyu, according to its website.
“Each Bourbon Steak is uniquely designed to represent the environment it is in, and I’m excited to unveil what we have in store for Orlando,” Mina said in a prepared statement.
