Do you remember our recent trip to the new Market at Ale & Compass Counter Service and grab-and-go location in Disney’s Yacht Club Resort?
The Market at Ale & Compass
Well, that isn’t the only change we can expect in regards to dining at the Yacht Club! First: you may already be aware that Captain’s Grille is currently closed for a refurbishment.
But it seems that the changes will result in much more than your typical refurb. The Grille will reopen with a whole new feel AND a new name! Look for the re-imagined Ale & Compass Restaurant (part of the overall Ale & Compass concept) to present a “gastropub ambience” and offer “New England-inspired comfort food” for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

The atmosphere will also feature an on-stage hearth oven in a room reminiscent of a lighthouse. And it has already been verified that the updated spot will operate as a Table Service restaurant on the Disney Dining Plan.
But, wait… there’s more! The Ale & Compass lobby lounge will also undergo a transformation of its own with a new interior and expanded seating for 58 guests. Classic cocktails and small bites will be featured on the updated menu.

Look for the new Ale & Compass concepts to open in October!

I’m nervous! The Captain’s Grille was a family favorite here for excellent food and a low-key atmosphere. I hope we don’t lose those great traits!
When is the new restaurant scheduled to open? Will they have a breakfast buffet? Loved it at the Captains grille.
Here is the menu – not listing breakfast buffet

Sadly they ruined the Grille with the refurb. The loss of the breakfast buffet is a deal-breaker. We went in June 2019 and it was terrible. Skip this one until they bring back the Captain’s Grille-style setup.
