We need more pics here. I don't think alot of visitors realize how good the food is at Universal.
Will do! Honestly we were at WDW for 4 nights and US/IOA for 4 nights and three of our top five dinners were at US/IOA. ALL of our lunches were far superior at US/IOA!!!!!!
So many good restaurants and so little days to eat at them !!
Going to be hard to decide ! Thanks everyone for the pics
