 Hey friends today, we were hanging out at Disney's contemporary resort and we were going to be having dinner at Steakhouse 71 Walt Disney World's newest restaurant And I have been looking forward to eating here since I first found out they were changing from the wave to Steakhouse 71 And I was lucky enough to grab a reservation Anywho's let's go do this Steakhouse 71 opened on Walt Disney World's 50th anniversary October 1st And I wasn't able to get an opening day Reservation, but I kept on trying and I was lucky enough to grab one today for October 2nd And it's the dinner menu so the lunch menu and the dinner menu were completely separate So I figured dinner would probably be my best option It's actually kind of funny because you have breakfast lunch dinner and then they have a separate lounge menu So I think since our reservation isn't for just a couple minutes Maybe we'll go into the lounge grab ourselves a fancy drink and see what their menu is like Maybe grab something off there and then head on in for dinner now Like I said, this was a very hard to get reservation I literally was just I was in the app and I just kept on hitting and hitting and refreshing and refreshing and eventually boom And here it is we might as well go check to see if there's actually any open seats for the lounge And I already love the decor. I've seen this When I came and checked it out when they first took down the walls and it's just got so much history of Walt Disney World It's everything that I love like I would probably decorate my house like this actually Especially with all the monorails and contemporary photos. That is unbelievable, but here we are take a look at this Looks like they have an open seat at the bar and I get to hang out with my favorite bartender bow And I have to say I didn't see all of the different art and decor in the restaurant until right now And I love it. Can I just it's my favorite themed restaurant and I'll show you exactly why Because they have this retro looking furniture, but most importantly They have a picture of the people mover and I feel like that just wins it all I mean, it's not just the people mover. It's all of Tomorrowland But the first thing that I see is the people mover I am a little sad that the blue rooms are gone, but I think I'm okay with the new room that they have now Look at this furniture. Look at the lights. I mean, this is really beautiful in here I really like it like it's really homey and cozy. This can definitely be the new number one spot for monorail crawls If you guys recall the other day when I was at the Magic Kingdom for the 50th anniversary They brought out the life magazine for the opening day of Walt Disney World in 1971 And they recreated the picture with all the cast members in front of the castle This is it right here, but it's just blown up and a lot larger and just look how beautiful that is That really blows my mind Now that we got a spot at the bar We can look through the menu order ourselves a cocktail and maybe an appetizer I mean, I feel like I'm gonna be eating a lot inside Steakhouse 71 But I do want to show you guys as much as I can so anything I don't eat I'll just probably put it in a to-go box and take it home. Maybe give some scraps to Gracie. Sure. Surely. We'll love that Here is a look at the menu. The lounge has crab cakes They got Steakhouse 71 onion rings loaded mac and cheese peanut butter and jelly chicken wings with the sweet peanut glaze and jelly powder Which I think I'm gonna probably a hundred percent get they've got the burger They got the shrimp cocktail the bacon and eggs and I want if that's the same bacon and eggs as they always had here it could be it was kind of like their signature and For the drink menu they have a lot of all brand new cocktails And I decided to start off with the cocoa bevel gear and look at this fancy little drink This is what mostly resembles what Walt would have ordered That's what my good friend Bo told me. Bo is the best The cocoa bevel gear served with the Disney Knob Creek. So that is some fancy stuff right there So cheers and we're gonna give it a test here. I got to a can to sip like this a little bit funny My cherry fella my drink, but it's very delicious That is actually very very delicious very smooth too, and I love these cherries You know pull one off actually and let it sit in there. Oh, don't drop them. Don't drop the cherries There we go. That's the way. Let's let that soak it all up and then we're gonna bite into it Now it officially soaked up all the liquor and we get to try it Wow I love those cherries Thank you so much A friend of mine bought me a drink over there and it's not a pop cheers Thank you. Look at this. That's the drink Bo was just making and Wow, that's all I got to say there was a lot to it and whenever I feel like there's some additional steps to a drink It means the drink is gonna be pretty amazing All right, that's good. I Don't know what Bo just made me, but it's better than the cocoa Belvedere I mean, I like the cocoa Belvedere because I love the single-barreled Disney Knob Creek, but this is very refreshing. Oh Yes, thank you. That's the fancy stuff Mystery salt it is a mora highball they changed the name on there So it is on the menu and I like that one like I said a lot better than the cocoa Belvedere But now it's time for chicken wings. It's wingy time Me Tommy Miwa wingy Peanut butter and jelly wingy and look at these don't they look so amazing. They're definitely very hot So you got to be careful and I'm gonna need a wet nap because they're very sticky, but here we go Okay All right These are so so good It's not just a novelty like chicken wing because you think like peanut butter and jelly, but no they are amazing They double fry them so it has the perfect crisp to it and I love them Like I don't know if you can get them in steakhouse 71 or if it's just for here But I will definitely get these again whenever I come and visit the bar because those are probably now my favorite chicken wings on property I mean Disney doesn't have that many great chicken wings to begin with but these are something special I do warn you though. They are very very sticky. I am definitely more of a flat fan I don't like the drums too much. Let me know in the comments what you are I'm a hundred percent team class, but I do like some drumming sometimes So we had two of the drinks we had the cocoa Belvedere and then we had the high ball and I like them both But the high ball was probably my favorite so far I definitely want to come back and try them for fans of the seven seas lagoon because remember they used to have a Big drink here in a fish bowl. They now have the tequila sunrise Which is kind of replacing that and it looks just as fun But that serves up to two to four guests So I'll need some friends to tackle that one and it's gonna happen. Don't you worry Almost time for a reservation the chicken wings are sold by the weight So it's usually five or six and I didn't eat the last one only because like I said I know we're gonna be getting a lot of food inside steakhouse 71 But I mean if we need to get to go boxes, we will I kind of want to show you guys the most I can and I also want to see how the steak ranks up in my ranking and we'll go over all my top rankings Once we get in there, but almost time. I Actually love all the Tomorrowland art in here. It is so beautiful Like you go out into the lobby and it has all the amazing Mary Blair artwork and then all this Tomorrowland artwork in here It's literally my favorite area like this is like the best Representation of the parks in a restaurant. I can't think of any other like restaurant that has this much like park influence Then steakhouse 71. I mean if you guys think of something else, let me know But yeah, now it's time. We're gonna head on into the dining room here and I think More of the parks are gonna continue. They have a mirror of the castle right there Holy moly Now we are at our table and the dining room in here is actually a lot better than what the wave dining room used to be I remember coming in here and dining at the wave thinking they really needed to update the whole entire dining area And I'm happy that they did because it looks clean it looks fresh and I'm sitting next to the castle mural So that makes me super happy Look at that mural right there. Isn't it beautiful? I'm telling you I love all the parks art inside this restaurant Like I said, you can't actually find a more representation of the parks themselves unless it's inside the parks them You know what I mean like inside the parks themselves, but outside in the resorts nothing compared to this One of the things I noticed about this restaurant was the prices on the menu now Take in mind that the average steak or like the average filet at Walt Disney World is anywhere from $50 to $70 And that goes for any steaks actually and here the steaks are from $30 to $40 So you can actually get a lot with like the same amount that you would spend it on their Steakhouses and we're gonna try to stretch that out as much as possible. I'm very interested in the prime rib But I do want to try a steak because I need to know it's a steak house Even though like a prime rib does belong in the steak house So we're gonna have to look at the menu and you'll see what I'm talking about with the prices Here is a look at the menu you can see there's a lot of good appetizers on there French onion soup and then the bacon and eggs and the crab cakes those two are returning favorites from the wave So they brought those back and then the steak house cuts Here's all the different steaks and you notice everything's under $40 the six ounce filet is $36. They have a New York strip there They've got a 14 ounce dry-aged pork pork bone-in rib chop and then also the 12 ounce roasted prime rib and Honestly, that is all good prices and then you get one side with each entree so they have a good side selection there and They also have one sauce for each of the selections, but you could order kind of like a sauce Sampler where you get all the sauces and I think it's only six dollars kind of like the bread service at Sanaa and Yeah, I think I'm gonna actually go with a little bit of two things I'm very interested in trying the prime rib, but I do want to try a steak itself So if you take six ounces and 14 ounces you're looking at about 20 ounces of meat So it's thinking about getting the filet and the prime rib and it's only $65 I believe 60 set it's under $70 Compared to the 24 ounce bone-in rib eye at space 220 that cost me a hundred dollars You see where I'm going with this so then you get two sides two sauces two cuts of meat under 20 ounces And if I don't eat it all then Gracie's gonna have a little snack and I kind of want to get it to try everything but also I want to show you guys and Also rank the filet not a big filet guy if they had a rib eye on this menu. I would totally get the ribeye One of the things that changed from the wave to steakhouse 71 is they no longer offer the complimentary bread service so if you do want to get bread it is on the appetizer menu and it's a sea salted dusted potato brioche and My servers told me that it's well worth it and it's a day process to actually make so I think we're gonna try that as well And I was also thinking about if they give out a jus with the prime rib I feel like every prime rib should come with some a jus to dip the meat in so I'm Excited to see if that's an offering or if that's just one of the sauces like I know sometimes there's a red wine Ajo so maybe that's what that could be but we'll find out In total what I decided to get was the filet Pittsburgh style with the Asparagus because they told me the asparagus comes with nice little parmesan crust on top of it And I like parmesan cheese That's one of the cheeses that I do like and then I got the prime rib with the garlic mashed potatoes And for my sauces I picked the chimichurri sauce and the signature steakhouse 71 sauce Gotta have the steak sauce at steakhouse 71. You know what I mean? And here is the potato brioche and take a look at that They have a 71 stamped butter and that is so awesome And then they also have a tomato garlic spread right here and I can't wait to actually break into these brioches I hope they're nice and soft look at that kind of looks like a muffin doesn't it and I don't want to ruin the 71 Here it is. Let's take a break here. We're gonna break bread. Oh Wow that comes apart really easily It's like pull apart bread almost. Oh wow Okay, this is gonna be good. Okay. I Think we'll try the garlic tomato spread first. I'm gonna take a little bit here and just spread it right onto the brioche Here we go Oh The brioche bread is good It's very flaky on the top and nice and soft on the inside and I do like the tomato garlic spread but it's not the best thing out there and The butter is probably gonna just be like regular butter But with a special 71 on there and I hate to do it, but I got to do it. Oh It hurts me to do it. It hurts me to do it. I'm gonna spread 71 all over my bread Here's to 71 a Little 1971 bread and I like how the 71 kind of came out on the bread. It's like it's not like butter It's like black. So we go I Kind of like the butter better than I like the tomato garlic spread And I don't want to eat the rest of the bread because once we get our prime rib We're gonna need something to soak up all the juices with even though you do get the Yoko sure purting in there But a little extra won't hurt like I said before one of the biggest draws of this restaurant is the price of the menu and I want to compare my like the price of the whole meal to the other restaurants that I've been to normally at Places like California grills shulas and space 220 I spent anywhere from 100 to 120 dollars So I'm gonna kind of see what I can get for that price here Including the chicken wings out front because I feel like that was a part of the experience And I don't know just try to match it up price first quality But we have to know what the quality is like before we can actually figure that out so we have to try everything so far I was really impressed with the wings and the bread service and We still have a filet and a prime rib coming and some nice sides and sauces. So this is actually a Lot of food for what I normally would buy like what I would normally pay for And now it's time for the main event take a look at the prime rib right here This is 14 ounces and it's got the garlic mashed potatoes and the chimichurri sauce And it looks really really good and then right over here We have the six ounce filet Pittsburgh because you know, I love it Pittsburgh with the asparagus and the signature steakhouse 71 sauce So we have a lot to get to I think I'm gonna dive into both of the steaks I'm gonna cut into here first and then the prime rib and we're just gonna try them so they don't get cold But yeah, this looks good This is gonna be a good good meal. It's a little bit small though Like I said, it's six ounces and 14 ounces. This doesn't even equal one of my 24 ounce bone-in rib eyes at space 220 And it's like $40 cheaper First things first we're gonna cut into the filet. I'm gonna scoot out the steak sauce We'll try that a little bit later. Look at that. Okay. This is looking good already. I love a little crust on the outside That's my Pittsburgh style and the chef knew exactly what I would like. He knew Look at that. Okay. All right. All right. I can dig this. Oh, yeah Get all that sauce right there and we're gonna take our first bite Now I'm not a big flay guy. I love the rib eyes. I love the tomahawk and If this ranks high up there for me, then it's got to be pretty good I mean the flays like they're good. It's just, you know, I like a nice fatty piece of meat You know what I mean? That's why I love rib eyes. So here we go filet first That is a good filet. Oh, yeah, also kudos to the chef because It being so good has to do with the way he cooked this steak It is perfect the way I like it and honestly I would put this pretty high on my list as it comes to filets. This is really really good and for $36 You can't beat that price. Honestly, you cannot beat that price at all Now we're gonna try a little bit of the filet with the garlic mashed potatoes And you know, I love my potato and steak combination. So this is probably gonna be really good as well Okay, I'm gonna hold off on that last bit of steak right there I'm gonna dive to the asparagus and look at the parmesan on them. I mean honestly that looks so delicious and the steak Perfect, like I said, we'll talk about it and I'll find a good rating of where I'd like to put it But first we're gonna have some veggies and then some more meat and potatoes and plus they brought out all these sauces for me So I can try a little bit of everything. How awesome is that? I do love me asparagus Alright, here we go The asparagus is good, I like it. It's definitely a real good like texture I like asparagus to have a little snap on it But I don't like it too soggy and the parmesan is actually added really well to it I would definitely get this again, even though I do want to try the broccolini, but now We're gonna dive in to the prime rib. Look at that bad boy. That's looking good and I got a little au jus right here to add to it You know cuz you gotta have that extra au jus. You know what I'm talking about? Look at that. Oh Yeah, much too good We're gonna take the little side right here. Oh, yeah This is gonna be good I love it. Look at that crust. Look at that Look at the crust and seasoning on that prime rib Much too good. I mean, this is gonna be something Amazing. Oh boy. Okay, so we're gonna dunk a little bit right on in here Gonna get it nice and juicy and Oh, yeah, oh Yeah I'm a fan. This is good and I can't wait to try it with the mashed potatoes like oh wow This is a good good prime rib right here There we go a nice spoobsy potato spread it on like butter Perfect. I think we know where this is going Now we also want to grab that yolk that you're putting right there soak up all the juices That's the way that's how you do it Yorkshire pudding Out of all the sauces I really like the chimichurra sauce and the steakhouse 71 sauce The horseradish sauce is pretty good and that goes good with the prime rib, but these two were my favorite I really liked it. I also like that the ajudo. That's where it's at I don't know if you can get that normally because it's baked within the it's cooked within the prime rib So you'll have to ask your server for details in case they have it, but very flavorful I Do have to say I like it the prime rib a little bit better Mainly because I'm not a big filet fan But that fully is cooked perfectly so it got a lot of extra points for that and I think once we leave I'll go pull over to the side We'll talk a little bit more and I'll let you know where they rank with all my other state recommendations But I also think I need to look at the dessert menu I don't even need to look at it because I know there is a chocolate cake a 15 layer chocolate cake for 15 floors of the contemporary that I need to try. I mean it has to happen Wow, there it is the steakhouse 71 15 layered cake 15 floors of the contemporary So the raspberry must be the California girl up here and I'm definitely gonna be taking some of this home with me There's no way I can finish it I've got a nice little box over here full of Well, I've got like two three two or three pieces of prime rib and a little bit of the steak for Gracie But I might have this tomorrow morning or tomorrow afternoon. It might be good. It might be good Look like your morning cup of coffee. I Always feel bad though Destroying beautiful desserts, but we're gotta do it. So I it's a little bit hard on the top But I'm gonna go right down. Oh boy look at that and then we're gonna kind of just grab a little that raspberry on there and perfect I Hear that the cake is very rich. So we're gonna find out. Oh Yeah, that is good It's hard to keep on cutting the cake down like this way so we're gonna have to lay this cake down We're gonna have to lay it down. We're gonna slide it over to this side of the plate And then we're gonna hit it with the fork Timber boom The cake is very very delicious. It's very rich like I said and there's a little bit of Jack Daniels in there goes Well with the raspberry Now I am all finished and I am full I couldn't finish the 15 layer cake I mean I knew that was gonna happen anyway, so I have a box of that to take home and then I also have a box of some leftover steak and primary to give to Gracie and I figured I'll bring you guys along and you know show you guys that she gets Her little snack. She deserves her. She's a good girl, but overall I really do love steakhouse 71 I love the affordability of it I Feel like the cuts of meat are a little bit smaller portion-wise so you have a bigger variety So you can try multiple things at the same price that you would pay at some of the other places like I said steakhouse 71 I mean space to 20 cost me just about a hundred dollars and Steakhouse 71 here my bill was $90 inside and then I also bought the wings at the bar for $14 so I spent about $120 all together and Look at that. I got two appetizers two entrees and a dessert Like that is insane. You know I mean and for a family that is really amazing and Yeah, overall the prime word was amazing. They actually use a secret Blend of spices for the prime rib that they call the steakhouse 71 seasoning and that was Phenomenal and the chef prepared the filet Amazingly like that is really good job because like I said, I'm not a big fan of filets, but that was a good steak I wouldn't put it on my top five like I said I'm probably being in my top ten top ten in Disney World. You know what I mean, but overall. Yeah, very very good I love it and I wonder if Grace is gonna love it. We'll find out I'm a home Oh What what you smell something good, huh, huh? Yes, but Look at you. You smell the steak. Don't you? Yes. I got something for you. Yes. Yes.
