Advice on Dining at Universal

[nkereina]

DH loves Mel's for some reason. I think it's good, but nothing to write home about. It's a must do for him. Of the two Potter QS locations, we prefer Three Broomsticks over Leaky Cauldron but both are worth doing for the atmosphere alone. We also like NBC Sports Grill and Red Oven Pizza Kitchen at City Walk.

If you make your way over to Royal Pacific, which isn't far from Cabana Bay, Jake's is great and so is Bula Bar which is outside near the pool.

We love three broomsticks. Also liked Magaritaville on city walk.....I know it is a chain, but we loved the drinks and especially volcano nachos which are a great value.
Very pleased with Mythos - very modest prices for a table service.

My hubby and I enjoyed the Tchop Tchop at RP. It was pricey, but the servers were top notch and the menu was very... different. Sort of Asian meets Cajun! I haven't seen it mentioned yet so I thought I would throw it out there.

P.S.- I just want to throw this out there too. I called the concierge at about 3:00 and got a reservation for the same day at 5:00. Try that at Disney! LOL

i looks sirtolast year

 

[macraven]

i feel it is abot the same as last years;


i rarely go there.
better places we aer found

 

[CalKhat]

Yeah, it changed.

 

[macraven]

not happy with it
boo hoo


hope the menu changes back

 

[CalKhat]

No- I was looking forward to trying the brown butter gnocci and asking them to sub some veggies for the chicken. I may still ask since gnocci is still on the menu, just with bolognese now.

I hope it changes back too. Or changes again. It looks like they might change a lot?

ETA: Pretty sure Confisco Grill changed too because I was looking forward to that one also and now I'm looking at the menu wondering why I was looking forward to it.

No biggie really, just an observation. I'm not a foodie by any means. I prefer simple things and they look like they are trying to be more hip.

 

[macraven]

CalKhat, when you go to mythos, ask the waiter if they can make it for you even if it is off the menu.
never hurts to ask, they either can or they can't.

there are some dishes they can do up still


but the blueberry porkchops they can't.....
it's been off the menu for years

We are going for the first time in >15 years so I don't have much to give first hand. But, way back when, we visited Emeril's (in City Walk) and loved it. We are planning on eating there again this coming trip.

Beyond that, I have heard people mention Tchoup Tchoup, Cowfish, and Mythos in other threads I researched. Mot of the menu items there looked unappealing to us, though, so we're not going to try any of them (haven't looked at the "new" Mythos menu, though).
