  • The Contemporary Resort has a restaurant called Steakhouse 71.

  • I have eaten at hundreds of Disney restaurants, but Steakhouse 71 became a favorite.

The Contemporary Resort has a restaurant named Steakhouse 71.

One of the newest full-service restaurants at Disney World is Steakhouse 71.

It opened in October of 2021.

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are served at the resort spot without a park ticket.

The opening year of Disney World is remembered by the restaurant.

The hallway was adorned with photos from the early stages of the Florida theme park.

We continued to take pictures as we made our way to the check-in desk.

There are depictions of attractions, including Space Mountain and the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover, in the restaurant.

Steakhouse 71 has a lounge and dining room.

A large lounge area is available on a first-come, first-served basis behind the check-in desk.

Guests can sit around the bar or at a number of cozy seats and booths and order from the lounge menu.

Last-minute reservations can be made through the Disney World mobile app, but I was able to make advanced reservations for the main dining room.

The dining room has a modern feel and is decorated with Disney-inspired art pieces.

We started the day with drinks.

The drink menu features a large number of signature cocktails, beers, and wines from the Disney family of wines.

We decided to start with two signature cocktails.

The gimlet was made with a variety of drinks.

It was a refreshing way to start the meal and the addition of Seedlip Garden, a non-alcoholic spirit, added a bit of herbal flavor.

The cocoa boulevardier was made with Disney single-barrel reserve bourbon, Campari, Carpano antica-formula vermouth, and chocolate bitters.

This was very balanced. The Disney parks created a high proof Bourbon that has a smooth finish with notes of vanilla.

The boulevardier is one of the best cocktails on the property.

We tried two of the Appetizers.

The French-onion soup and the sea-salt-dusted potato brioche were the two Appetizers we tried.

The soup was described as a rich beef soup with croutons and cheese, and it was a perfect presentation of French-onion soup.

The soup was not too rich. I found that it had enough cheese on top, and it was broiled to the perfect amount. I would be happy to return for this.

The sea-salt-dusted potato brioche was good but not as good as the soup.

The bread was served with butter and a roasted-garlic-tomato spread, which is what you would expect to be served for free. I am not sure if I would order this again after we enjoyed the tomato spread and butter.

Some people are calling the best burger on Disney World property, so we split it.

The burger lived up to the hype.Carly Caramanna

I came for lunch because I heard that the restaurant has the best burger on Disney property, and it is only available during the afternoon service.

I am always cautious when I hear that Disney World has some of the best burgers in the world. The burger at Steakhouse 71 is one of the most expensive.

It is described as a blend of beef, American cheese, lemon aioli, red onion, and house-made pickles on a brioche bun. The burger comes with a choice of side dishes.

This was the best burger I have ever had at Disney World, and possibly the best I have ever had.

The meat was cooked to a perfect medium. All of the ingredients worked together, with both salty and salty notes shining through. The fries were also delicious and topped with cheese.

This is an upscale version of your favorite greasy, diner-style burger. It is definitely something I will be returning for.

The place is known for its cake, so we ended with dessert and a drink.

The restaurant's signature dessert is the Steakhouse 71 chocolate cake.

The presentation was beautiful, and it was another win for us.

The cake was moist and the flavors of the berries balanced out the richness of the chocolate.

The cake and cocktail were made with Maker's Mark, Joffrey's cold-brew coffee, maple, and vanilla-bean cream.

It was a nice way to end the meal.

One of my favorite restaurants at Disney World is Steakhouse 71.

We tried two Appetizers, three Cocktails, one Entree, and one dessert, which cost about $130 after tip. We were able to take 10% off food items with our annual-passholder discount.

The portion sizes were generous and the food was impressive.

The meal was well paced and made for a great afternoon experience. It was a nice respite from the hustle and bustle of the nearby theme parks.

Steakhouse 71 at Disney World is family-friendly and offers a little something for everyone.

I have eaten at hundreds of restaurants, lounges, and quick-service spots across the property, and I believe this is one of the best. The service, food, and cocktails were excellent.
