Our Top Table Service Dining Choices at Universal CityWalk


Universal's CityWalk is a dining, shopping and entertainment area with so many options.  Where to begin?  The Kingdom Konsultant agents have been busy trying the options for you to help give you an idea of what to expect and maybe narrow some things down.  All of these restaurants are quite popular and reservations are recommended. 

3. Bigfire

Bigfire is going to be your more upscale/fine dining option at Universal CityWalk.  The décor is modern and features an open kitchen, the bar serves up craft cocktails and the menu features wood-fired dishes.  All of the food we tried here was delicious and the prices felt reasonable for the quality of food we tried.  If you want a nicer meal, definitely check out Bigfire (but if you show up in theme park clothes, you will be just fine too!).

2. The Cowfish Sushi Burger Bar

This is simply one of my favorite places to eat.  Burgers please the pickiest eaters while sushi fans will rejoice at the selection.  For the most adventurous, there is "burgushi" which is a burger-sushi hybrid and the most unique item you will find here.  There is even a PB&J sushi bento box for kids. Cowfish is located on the second story and offers indoor and outdoor seating.

1. Toothsome Chocolate Emporium & Savory Feast Kitchen

While this restaurant is of course perfect for the chocoholics, it has a menu with a variety of choices as well.  The milkshake bar is popular, but you are missing out if you don't do a full sit-down meal here.  The theming inside is detailed and beautiful and the food and beverage are delightful.  It is hard to miss this huge restaurant as it will immediately draw the eye in.  This is a unique dining experience with an entire story behind it that you can only find at Universal!

Honorable Mention: Vivo Italian Kitchen

Vivo is centrally located and serves up great Italian fare with fresh pasta, but great Italian is pretty common across Orlando and other big cities, so our top three focus on more unique dining experiences that will make your vacation memories stand out.

Cruising with a Baby: A Complete Guide

You took a baby on a cruise!? Yep, and I'd do it again knowing what I know now. So, say goodbye to months of research - Everything you need to know is here!! One of the biggest challenges of traveling with a baby is planning what you need to bring. I wanted to share what worked for us, and hopefully help others who are planning their cruise! Remember, babies can only cruise after their 6-month birthday on sailings from the U.S. If you are going transatlantic, or have more than three days out at sea, they must be 12 months old by the first day of your cruise. Pre-Cruise   We flew to the cruise port, and I couldn’t bring all the food and snacks I needed, so I placed an Instacart order for pick up near the port. I chose Publix in Cocoa Beach which is a few miles from Port Canaveral. I placed the order a few days before we left home, and set the pickup time to 11:00 a.m. I ordered formula, a box of diapers, swim diapers, bottle brush, dish soap, baby food, and baby snacks. I also broug...
