Almost time - restaurant help!

[mommypenguin29]

We will be there this weekend and I feel so unprepared! We arrive Friday evening and thinking of Cowfish or Toothsome for dinner...Saturday, Sunday and part of Monday we will be at the parks...we would like to eat at both Harry Potter Restaurants...what other restaurants would you recommend (or we should avoid)...Also I saw somewhere that some restaurants have priority seating for onsite guests - is there a list anywhere? Thanks!

The HP restaurants are great. They are technically considered quick service. They handle it very smoothly and get you a table after you pick up your tray of food.

We like Confisco Grill and we love Mythos, both in IOA. We make reservations on the Uni site, just in case, but most don't.

There is lots to choose from in CW. Cowfish is nice (they don't even take rezzies, so you are good to go). Never been to Toothsome.. wait, that's not true, I went in looked at the prices for simple things like milkshakes and left with sticker shock.

This page on Orlando Informer runs through all the table service restaurants, including mention of which ones give priority seating...https://orlandoinformer.com/universal/dining-reservations/

I haven't tried any of the in-park table service restaurants.

At Citywalk, I really like NBC Sports Grille, Toothsome, Margaritaville, Antojitos and Breadbox.

I personally would avoid Mel`s Diner, Richter Burger, Café 4, Circus McGurkas and Monster Café.

Toothsome, Cowfish and Bubba Gump don't participate in Onsite guest priority seating.

In IOA we enjoy Confisco Grille for table service and Thunder Falls Terrace for counter service. Mythos is a hit and a miss, was decent this time for us, but not great.

Studios Louie`s is excellent for Pizza, Simpsons food court is decent and Lombards is a beautiful sit down restaurant. It has massively improved from what I`ve heard this year........

Citywalk we love NBC and Cowfish. Not overly impressed with Toothsome but you can buy some fabulous items in the shop........

Margaritaville we won`t eat there anymore........but nachos and burgers are decent.

Don't forget the hotels have some lovely choices too.........
