Mythos

Just returned from trip to US/IOA last week and ate at Mythos. It was excellent!!! Had six in our party and everyone was satisfied. All of us started with soup (tortilla and mushroom bisque both yummy). Entree portion sizes are large so if start with soup/salad or appetizer, may want to consider splitting which my mother in law and I did (buffalo chicken wrap sandwich - very unique and tasty).

Also ate at Richter Burger at US - not that impressed. Small hamburger for the price.

At IOA, we like The Enchanted Oak. Very good food, large portions, and decent price. I took a photo of the menu so I could remember what's on it - I'll try to post later.

At US, our favorite is Midway Grill, which serves Nathan's hot dogs and fries. Richter Burger was also so so for us.

I think I ate at The Enchanted Oak (if it is the restuarant that looks like a big tree) in IOA? It was very good. I had turkey, gravy, mashed potatoes. Yummy. That menu may have been especially for the holidays since it was new year's. We have also eaten at Latin Quarter in the "downtown area" of Universal and IOA. That was very good too. I had like a baked chicken dish with plantan bananas. That was 4 or 5 years ago and am still wanting to go back because it was soooo good. Excellent latin food.

Just a quick side note about eating at US, we bought the meal deal, and found it not nearly as good as Disney's. The 2 park MD came with a table service meal and we ate at Pastamore. I felt like a 2nd class citizen - we couldn't even look at the "real menu"! We were given a piece of paper that had about 6 or so entrees, and those were our only choices. What seemed like a good deal ended up being a waste of money. In all fairness, the meal itself was good, I just felt like we were given smaller portions, no salad, and I even had to ask for bread! My recommendation: Go ahead and eat there, but pay OOP for everything.

IOA SIDE-
Mythos- EXCELLENT!! even though somehow our lunch ended up being 80.00 and this was back in 2000.
Confisco Grill- Excellent, good prices, will definilty eat there again.
Enchanted Oak Tavern- LOVE IT LOVE IT, for counter services. great choices
Circus McGurkus NOT SO STUPENDOUS- I called it NOT so because, had the food been hot by the time we sat down, it would have been ok. nothing worse than a cold cheesburger.
The Burger Digs- decent for counter service.

US side-
Finnegins bar and grill- outstanding, one of our favorites, we eat here alot, the soda bread is the best with the apple butter.
Lombards Seafood restaurant- Love it here too, Nice place.
Mels Drive in- fun burger place, we like it.


City Walk-
pastamore- loved it. big portions though.
Hard Rock Cafe- one of our favorites, the grilled chicken is very good. and lots of menu choices.
Margarataville- LOVE IT, another of our favorites. Lots to choose from.
