Overview
- Gordon Ramsay at The Carnaby opened in the Downtown Disney District on July 13 and sits on the second floor above a new Earl of Sandwich location.
- When the restaurant first listed reservations on OpenTable, the initial inventory sold out through the end of September in roughly 15 minutes, leaving many guests shut out.
- In response, operators increased nightly seating, moved dinner service earlier to a 4:00 p.m. opening with service through 10:00 p.m., and released new reservations through December 30, 2026.
- The Carnaby pairs theatrical, tableside elements with Ramsay signature and British‑classic dishes such as beef Wellington, fish and chips, bangers and mash, a wagyu burger, chickpea tikka masala, and a prime‑rib cart.
- The rapid sellout underscores Downtown Disney’s shift toward destination dining driven by celebrity partnerships and raises a near-term operational test: scale service and kitchen throughput without eroding the guest experience.
