Poll for favourite Citywalk restaurant

[pcstang]

It's been dead for awhile now. They are still trying to find something to go in there. That's why DQ closing has been delayed.

Yep, it has been known for a while.

You're right, it doesn't get a "lot" of love here..........we had one decent meal years ago, but any time we've tried since it's just been a disappointment and so noisy, I felt quite old mentioning the noise lol.........so we gave up.......

Glad you enjoy it though.......

I agree, love the food, hate the noise. That's one reason we don't go much, it's tough on our
special needs son. The only place louder was the new nbc grill. Omg it was deafening.

dsmom, do you think NBC grill would be OK noise-level on the patio? Noise doesn't bother us (we love Hard Rock) but sometimes you want peace & quiet.

Is Cowfish good for non-sushi eaters?

If you eat burgers it's excellent..........you can see from menu above that sushi is prevalent on their menu.....but I have to say the burgers were lush!!!

We really enjoyed the sushi but burgers were good.

We don't enjoy places that are too loud now.........but we don't like eating outside, especially at lunch........so maybe this is off the list of places now........I do feel ancient sometimes when I say places are too noisy.......

They specialize in burgers too. I had a good burger there in December. I personally thought the burger I had at Hard Rock Cafe was a little better, but still a very good burger. Service was good for us at both places.

I never went out on the patio. It would depend whether they pump the loud music out there too.

NBC Grill and HRC are both loud on purpose. It's the high energy atmosphere they are shooting for.

Definately not the place to go for a nice "quiet" dinner.

Patio should be fine

I have to say, City Walk has great food options! Listened to the Universal Dis podcast this week with R and we decided we might have to give margaritaville a try after the rave review. I LOVE hamburgers so Cowfish was a hit and we want to go back there for just burgers. I need several weeks at Universal in order to be able to eat all the yummy things I want to! Antojitos food was good but the margaritas really were the highlight there for us. Will be back there in the future for a drink. Starting to feel like I need to start looking for a job in Orlando...

I'm sure everyone is tired of hearing my same shpiel about NBC Grill & Brew but we loved their patio. LOVED! It was so peaceful - helps that we were there during a sunny, 70ish degree day during January when it was freezing at home. So tranquil for lunch watching people along city walk and looking across the water. Ask if server Shawna is there, she is amazing.

We also sat inside for lunch one day and didn't find it to be overly loud (and I am practically a little old lady wanting a calm environment for meals). We were sitting on the banquette area near the elevators sort of behind the bar on the side so maybe that helped cut down on the sound? There was one lady on the banquette kicking the shared bench for a while and that bothered me worse than any sound...

I also tend to find that a couple of Florida beers always help me tune out the chaos hahaha!

Loved your TR, it was actually your report that had me thinking we should try again and have lunch instead of dinner on the patio. We love eating outdoors. I think the night we visited was so busy our food was forgotten in the busyness and sat and got cold. I think it was probably rushed and that's why everything was undercooked. I'm willing to give it a try again outside after all the good reviews I've read lately.

Try Emeril's Tchop Chop very quiet & relaxing. Great place

A regular haunt of ours.

I find Tchoup Chop quite lively nowadays.........never been what you would call quiet in recent years........

Not my favourite place to eat.........find the food quite bland, very under seasoned for our tastes......and when it says spicy.......I expect spicy........bit of a disappointment........except for sushi,,........been many times now to Tchoup Chop..........

Emerils in Citywalk I find more peaceful..........but not the best atmosphere or menu........

Bumping this up. Could you add the new chocolate restaurant to the poll? We are going to Universal for our first trip soon and I'm curious what people think about it.

Do a quick search........

There are very mixed reviews for it since it opened. Lots of threads on here about it.

 

[macraven]

There is a specific number of choices that can be used in creating a poll

No add ons could be made to that survey

As schumi stated, do a search for opinions on toothsome

People's opinions change after they visit eateries and you will find more current opinions by searching

Hi. If spending one day at Universal or IOA, can I go to Citywalk? Is it like DTD or do you need to pay to get in?
Thank you.

The only charge is to park in the garage...nothing else.
