Treat your meeting attendees to an ocean of fresh seafood in an imaginative setting at Paddlefish Restaurant at DISNEY SPRINGS® in Orlando.

Updated May 7, 2025

Each year Orlando gains a host of new venues for meetings and events, each more versatile and lovely than the last. The latest additions to Disney Springs® at Walt Disney World® Resort are no exception, with the recent opening of Paddlefish Restaurant: a seafood-centric restaurant formerly known as Fulton’s Crab House. It’s all-aboard for this luxurious private-yacht dining experience, with waterfront views from nearly every angle, private event space for groups from 20 to 1,000 and even a rooftop bar and patio looking out over the whole complex.

The ship-shaped venue’s extensive, multimillion-dollar renovation breathed new life into both the menu and decor, for a truly enchanting space. Learn about both from our recent visit.

Paddlefish Restaurant scallops

For dinner, sink your teeth into these delicate scallops, enriched with Brown butter and cauliflower puree for a health and delicious option, or try the Cedar Key littleneck clams with sofrito, chipotle butter and linguini for a heartier meal. Vegan/Vegetarian guests, or those just looking for a very healthy option, can spring for the "Roots & Shoots," with seasonal vegetables and grilled tofu in a yellow curry broth that hits the spot.

Events will find smooth sailing in the private dining spaces and adaptable areas across Paddlefish. With different options on each “deck,” both indoors and outdoors, groups can use the space to their best advantage. From 40 guests in the lounge and up to 92 on the deck, this versatile venue is sure to impress.
