Overview
- A kitchen fire at Bourbon Steak prompted evacuations on June 25, 2026, and the resort has reported no injuries following the incident.
- Resort officials said smoke was forced outside through the building’s ventilation system and that physical damage was confined to the restaurant’s kitchen rather than guest rooms or public areas.
- Bourbon Steak has been closed since the fire and the Swan and Dolphin is telling guests the restaurant will remain closed “for the foreseeable future” while repairs are completed.
- The restaurant’s booking system currently blocks reservations before September 16, 2026, which the coverage describes as the earliest possible reopening date but not a confirmed announcement.
- The closure affects a high‑profile outlet that opened about a year ago to replace Shula’s Steak House, and the hotel is directing displaced diners to 22 other campus venues, including five signature restaurants, while inspections and repairs continue.
