Hello,
Since this is going to be our first time to Universal next March, can some of you veterans of Universal tell me some of the better places to eat both inside the parks, Citywalk, and at the Hotels? We will be there for 3 nights and we are staying at the Royal Pacific.
My initial thoughts just based on menus and reviews were definitely trying out Vivo Italian. Toothsome looks interesting, but seems like reviews are kinda mixed. Seems great for dessert options, but I'm not sure about dinner. Anitjitos sounds interesting as well as Bigfire. Cowfish has peaked my interest too. I'd also like to maybe try one of the Harry Potter restaurants for lunch just to say I did it, though I'm not super big into British food.
I also have a question about reservations. Are they generally needed at Universal for most of the restaurants? I'm used to having to make them for Disney, that's why I ask. If so, how far out do you need to make them? I also thought I read about restaurants giving priority seating for on-site guests. If that's true, does that eliminate the need to make reservations?
I appreciate any thoughts and guidance. I have a lot of anxiety about planning this trip for some reason. We've done DisneyWorld twice now and I feel like an expert on that place practically, but this one has given me the jitters all over again cause it's a big unknown to us.
