Ale & Compass Restaurant

Had lunch here today and had a mixed experience. To be honest we went as Disney Annual pass holders get a 40% discount in July so it was a no brainer to give it a try. It’s in the Yacht & Beach Club on the Boardwalk - we made a reservation online about 2 weeks before and it seemed that people turning up without a reservation weren’t that successful in getting a table. The restaurant doesn’t really have much character and decor is very neutral but that’s fine as we were looking at good food primarily. The menu is typically Disney with not a huge choice but there were a number of dishes which attracted our attention. We had the crab cake and chicken wedge salad as starters and both tasted great. For our main dish I had the steak and egg and my wife the fried chicken with waffles - once again we enjoyed the food - steak well cooked to my liking and the fried chicken very crispy. It was essentially poorly timed service which made the overall experience less enjoyable. The starters were brought out 5 minutes apart and this was not taken into account when our main dishes arrived - my wife had just finished her starter but had only just started mine. I just don’t like having 2 plates of food at the same time. I was less than half way through my main and the server was already asking us about dessert. So poor service spoilt a well cooked and tasty meal.

Had a fantastic breakfast with fruit/yogurt/breads buffet here today. Atmosphere is wonderful, food was delicious and fancy, and service was top notch. Breakfast with the buffet enhancement and a drink was $28 per adult, $13.50 per child as of this July 2015 posting. This restaurant was on the special summer 40% off this month for annual pass holders, so we thought we'd check it out. Certainly worth the walk over from Epcot to check it out.

Oh man. This place is the place to go for breakfast. They offer a buffet where you get to choose one of there entrees and also a drink from the menu. It’s $28 per person but it does not disappoint. I had the crab cake eggs Benedict as pictured. And it was divine. The poached egg were poached perfectly!! And the crab cake was not a frozen and reheated crab cake. This was the real deal. The fried potatoes had a pile of sautéed and sweetened onions on top and they were sooo good. Also pictured is the steak and eggs. The steak was really soft and tender and was cooked to perfection. And th hollandaise sauce was about as good as I’ve ever tasted. The third picture is the French toast. It was made fresh and very nice and firm. Overall, I can’t wait to be lucky enough to get another reservation for breakfast. But I’m really looking forward to trying ale and compass for dinner. Book way ahead cuz there’s very little available. You’ll understand why after you eat here. A+++

We came for breakfast and got the $28 Continental Enhancement. I had the flatbread with salmon, and my wife had the crab cake benedict. Everything was good nothing I'd specifically say "this was amazing, you have to try it," just standard. The woman who served us was very professional. I forgot her name, but I'll write it down when I remember.

First time coming here for breakfast and must say that I was delicious. I wanted to try something different so I ordered the chicken and waffles. I also ordered the buffet option as well. So the buffet was nice and fresh. Would definitely recommend coming when you're hungry so you get your money's worth. No complaints here and would highly recommend while you're visiting Disney.

Came here for our last family dinner before parting back to our home states, and it was a little bit disappointing going off of its 5-star average. Some things were oversalted, the presentation seemed outdated, like pre-2010 style plating, and multiple people at our table ordered the steak mid-rare but they call came out medium or medium-well. At this price point, I would expect to have a better meal. Our server was very friendly and helpful, but a couple minor touches were missed like giving steak knives to the people who ordered steaks (the regular knives were too dull, sister in law couldn't even cut her wedge salad with it).

Classic Disney Resort Dining in the Yacht Club Resort right next to the International Gateway Entrance of Epcot...yes near France! Oui oui, Ratatouille! We had a delightful Mother's Day brunch. I am a lucky lady indeed.

Friendly service for our casual Easter brunch. Beatrice, the hostess, was very kind in welcoming us. Our server Hieu, did a wonderful job and was very fun to be around. Great food and atmosphere as usual! :)
