we got back from universal a month ago and we went to city walk every night (except for when we went to sea world).
margarittaville: amazing food, atmosphere, drinks LOL, make sure you see the exploding "volcano", balloon animals and people on stilts for the kids
hard rock cafe: largest in the world, we got seated in the FARTHEST SEAT AWAY FROM THE ENTRANCE, we felt like we were IN nick studios lol, foods ok, a drop overrated, u can skip it
nba city- great if ur a basketball fan or not, most UNDERRATED resteraunt in city walk, GREAT food, try the ribs...mmmm!
nascar cafe- i cant give a full report on this because we went here on a monday at noon (when we arrived), good food, we saw it crouded on nights when we were in the parks, very LOUD, and we were the only people in the main dining room lol
emerils- we made reservations for emerils for lunch but we diecided to cancel it for more park time, we looked inside, really nice, more then casual (i think u cant wear shorts and t-shirt- correct me if im wrong)
have fun!
send me a message if u need more info
