Lombard's or Confisco Grille?

[Cara]

Does anyone have a review of either of these restaurants?

Thanks!

I've never eaten at Confisco's, but we eat at Lombards every time we visit US. Great service, wonderful food, relaxing atmosphere. It's a great lunch break!!

Loved Lombards- was underwhelmed with Confiscos. Tried it a couple of times and the food was just so-so but the service was horrible. Maybe just off days for us.

Thanks so much!!! I am adding Lombard's to my list of possibilities!

Lombards was OK. Nothing spectacular. If we were there for several days I might return, but Finnegan's is my only msut do restaurant in Studios.

Confisco's we've only had for character breakfast buffet, which was really good, and the character interaction was great.

I have been wanting to eat at The Bubba Gump Shrimp Co, but have not made it there yet.
Last year one time we ate at Lombard's, and it was fine. I would try it again.
For whatever reason we seem to dine at Finnegan's. No particular reason.

We had a terrible experience at Lombards.

They lost our order, even after asking numerous times where our food was. We finally got it over an hourand a quarter after we sat down. I can't count the number of times we asked our server (when we could find her) if our food was coming out soon. We finally had to track down a manager and ask him twice. It was finally determined that our server never turned in our order to the cook.

Never mind that the waitress was extremely surly. It took everything we had to remain polite as we watched people being seated, receiving their food and leaving while we were still waiting for our food.

Had food dumped on us twice by two different servers. Both servers dropped their trays and we were the lucky ones to catch the falls.

Husband was served a glass of water in a glass that was completely cracked around the bottom. He was extremely lucky that the bottom of the glass did not fall off while he was drinking it.

The excuse from the mgr was that this is common when you put ice in a glass and the waitress probably did not notice. This was a crack that was around the 95% of the center of the glass - all the way through. It was very hard to miss.

This all happened during the same sitting.

We filed a grievance with guest services. We usually have excellent service everywhere we go in Universal, but our experience at Lombards was inexcusable.
