Walt Disney World is asking fans to be their guest at a new upscale restaurant inside the park — but only if diners follow the dress code.

Bourbon Steak by Michael Mina — which is located at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin and has already started accepting reservations — is offering guests the chance to experience a more “sophisticated” dining experience. 

“The Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin is the ideal location for Bourbon Steak,” Chef Michael Mina said in an April release. “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.”

On Disney's website, it notes that Mina's “restaurant is one of our Signature Dining experiences,” and therefore, “guests are expected to dress accordingly in attire that respects the restaurant’s sophisticated and upscale aesthetic.”

“Clothing should be clean, neat, and in good condition, free from offensive language and/or graphics. Please no swimwear,” the company added.

The new “signature steakhouse” will offer “the finest cuts of beef and seafood, expertly prepared with bold global flavors.” Guests can expect “a menu built on impeccable ingredients, elevated technique, and unforgettable presentation,” according to Bourbon Steak by Michael Mina’s website.

The restaurant will also offer “inventive cocktails” like a Japanese Old Fashioned drink and dessert including beignets served with various sauces along with other menu items “with unique flavors” and created through “local inspiration,” per Disney’s website.

“With world-class wines, decadent desserts, and a sleek, modern setting just steps from Disney’s most celebrated attractions, Bourbon Steak Orlando promises an extraordinary culinary journey in the most magical of locations,” the restaurant's website reads.

Guests can also expect this place to be a bit more pricey than the average Disney restaurant, with menu offerings above the $50 range. The restaurant's website also noted that the restaurant only takes dinner reservations, and it has already been booked up until the end of July.

The restaurant is run by celebrity chef and restauranteur Mina — who has earned a James Beard Award and Michelin star and whose restaurant company operates over 40 restaurants worldwide. For his latest restaurant, he promises to bring “his fresh perspective to familiar favorites, balancing the joy of the classics with the thrill of the unexpected,” per Disney’s website.
