Part 7: Finnegan's - Sunday Dec. 9th
After Shrek, we realized we were getting pretty hungry. It was a little after noon, but our lunch reservation at Finnegan's was not until 1. We decided to try to walk-in a little early.
They were able to seat us early, no problem. We didn't even need the reservation, the park was so empty that day. We ate at Finnegan's during our last trip, and both loved it. I wasn't thrilled about spending money to eat at a restaurant we'd already been to, but they do have good food and the quick-service options at Universal are pretty pathetic.
The potato leek soup is a must-have, so we both ordered it. The soda bread that they bring you is also delicious. I could have (and should have) just had this for lunch!
We also both ordered the same entree, the corned beef sandwich. It's made on a baked pretzel roll instead of a more typical bun or roll, which was really delicious. I didn't have much of an appetite after the soup and bread, though, so I hardly ate any of it.
The inside of the restaurant is pretty cute.
Loved the Christmas decorations
Overall, we enjoyed our lunch here. I just wish I felt like eating more of my actual entree. Our total was only $41.51 including the tip, which I don't think was bad for a theme park restaurant.
Next Up: Universal Studios
