Where to eat at Universal Orlando including menus

[Metro West]

I didn't read through this entire thread, so I'm sorry if this question was already answered, but can you make ressies at 3 Broomsticks? My kids would love this!

You can only make reservations with a package. Three Broomsticks is a counter service restaurant so no reservations are accepted...except with a package.

Thanks for the quick response! I didn't realize it was a counter service - hopefully we'll be able to get in for lunch in August. I imagine it's pretty popular. Thanks again!

Don't they have a breakfast meal that takes a reservation, even without a package? When we were there a couple years ago, while staying at RPR, we asked at the concierge desk if they could make a breakfast reservation for us a Three Broomsticks. They could but we would have been required to pay for our reserved seats immediately. Because the only available time wasn't good for us, we declined.

Resort guests have had success with making reservations through concierge. But the only way you are guaranteed a reservation is with the package.

Ok. My mistake. Thanks.

Is it possible to make advance reservations?
I am staying at HRH over Easter (very Busy) but can't see where you can book in advance either via their own website or opentable.

Yes, you can book most Universal restaurants on opentable.com

Not sure exactly how far in advance you can book.

Hi everyone - cannot thank you enough for how much this thread in particular has helped in planning for our upcoming trip. So, a couple of questions...
The Islands menu changed and I have not read any reviews on the new menu Has anyone given it a go? Also, I am assuming there is a kids menu with standard kids food fare - it isn't posted, but I can't imagine there isn't...

I am surprising my oldest two kiddos with a first time ever, solo trip to US/IoA and we will be checking into the RPR on my sons 7th birthday - it happens to be a character dinner Wednesday so I hope it works out.

Any other restaurant suggestions (we will do Mythos and Margaritaville) for birthday celebrations for my 7 and 9 year old sons?

the menu changed to an asian flair oct 11 last year.

are you saying it has changed again?

not sure about a kids menu for the dinner hour.
call the hotel and ask for more info about that.

i'm very disappointed on the menu that went into effect last year.
i ate there the night before the change over.
going to miss many of the past dishes.

as of now, there are only 2 dishes i would consider to have at Island on this year's trip.
they were on it in the past and glad they carried them over.

if the menu at Island does not suit you, check out the menu at The Kitchen at hrh.
great food over there....

if you do that, call and see when the characters will be at that restaurant in case you take a pass for Islands.

Just made a reservation for 1PM on Monday. First time using open tables. Worked easily enough. Have never eaten at Maythos before and looking forward to it. Have a vegan g/f and it's refreshing to see a menu that goes out of way to point out vegan options, a definite rarity in theme park world.

The Islands menu hasn't changed again....I just haven't heard any review of the new Asian Flair style menu yet. It is a definite no if there isn't a children's menu for dinner there though.

Definitely looking into the Kitchen...just wanted to do the character meal on our arrival evening/birthday celebration. Thanks!

My adult son and girlfriend were there and loved it. They thought the food was great.

The Islands has a special kids' area for dinner. Here is the write-up.

The Islands Dining Room experience isn't just for adults. We have a special dining room designed for our youngest guests, with kiddie-sized tables and chairs, a flat-screen TV playing cartoons, a Bali-style play area and Fisher Price toys. There's even a bed where sleepy little diners can relax and watch TV. Of course, the menu features all the kid-friendly favorites, like hot dogs, macaroni and cheese, pizza and chicken tenders. There are even a few options for the more health-conscious kids.

We have booked all our table-service with Open Table just the other day. We will be staying the week before Easter and wanted to get them in early since it will be so crowded. My friend did it for all of us, she said it was very easy with OpenTable.

I've never had good luck with Pastamore. Perhaps add Margaritaville?

 

[macraven]

NBA City is really good too.

check out their menu.
