    Pear and Cobbler (after photo...I dug right in a missed the before photo)
    Jennifer F.

    My expectations were not high when we decided on this restaurant for dinner. I was thinking the food would be the typical American chain food. Boy was I wrong! The Blackened and Herb Crusted Brook Trout with the Truffle and Wild Mushroom Risotto was sooo delicious!!! The trout was seasoned exceptionally well and I almost ordered another side of risotto for the table because my guests ate most of mine. The only reason I didn't was because I needed to save room for the Pear and Apple cobbler. Omg!!! This was perfect! I'm tearing up thinking about it right now. The pix will speak for itself. Do yourself a favor and save room for it! The calories won't count since you're on vacation! My guests enjoyed their dinners as well. The others had steak and lobster. The service was good and quick, too. Add this one to your list.

    Finding a decent and affordable sitdown restaurant in a touristy destination like City Walk is like winning the lottory! So glad that my friends and I randomly decided to eat here. Looking around at other people's plates, the food looked super good and filling. I just went with the burger and was pleased. I believe our server's name was Angel, and she was wonderful. And the ambiance was that of a casual steak house and was great for people watching. My buddy forgot his crossbody and because I put my number down for our reservation, the restaurant was able to text us and alert us. Super grateful for that.

    The service this time was outstanding! I believe our waiter's name was Josh, and he did an excellent job. Thank you for providing such great service. My husband tried the steak again after several years and really enjoyed it this time. We also tried the Alaskan dessert, but it was just average. I'd recommend sticking with the chocolate cake or the s'mores instead. I ordered the salmon, which Josh recommended, and I'd give it an 8/10. It was good, but compared to the lamb shanks, I'd choose the lamb shanks again without hesitation! Pro tip: Make a reservation ahead of time to make getting a table much easier for your party.

    cheese fondue
    Rey S.

    This place was solid. nothing outstanding, nothing out of order, just a strong entry into the upscale burger and steak category with bit of a flare. Ate here with my wife and a friend and we shared a Burger, the cheese fondue and some flat bread. Nothing was special, but everything held up to a good standard. The flat bread was a bit bland, and the cheese was a bit clumpy, but the ingredients all seems fresh and the portions sizes were good. The prices are city walk prices so know going in that there's nothing cheap on the menu. The place was spacious though and the service was good which puts it above several other places in the area. If you are looking for American fare with a little elevation this is a good option

    We stopped into Bigfire on a Tuesday evening. The menu has been curated for upscale dining, and the prices reflect the high quality of the food. $26 was the lowest priced entree. A $26 (and fries, which wasn't listed in the menu. I mean, it was a good burger. Maybe I'm just getting too old, but I don't know how anyone affords meals in the Universal City Walk. Anyway, our server, Autumn, was very nice, attentive without hovering, and knowledgeable about the menu. I thought the ambiance was lovely. High ceilings, so it wasn't loud.

    We had an amazing time with our server David. We enjoyed lamb chops and the wagyu rib eye with chimmichuri. The food quality and taste was worth the splurge. The lamb sauce was flavor packed as was the fresh chimmichuri. Desert was the table side smores. Ending the experience delightfully. I'm turning 50 and this was a dinner with my child that we will both remember. The place is pretty inside and can get loud, it's universal but we were sat in the perfect location for people watching and intimate conversation.

    Beer can chicken with roasted potatoes, mac n cheese, cornbread, and tomatoes.
    Daneiro R.

    Decided to eat here while visiting Universal Studios because you can smell the food cooking over the wood as you walk by. The restaurant is nice and has an upscale look. The staff was extremely friendly and explained how the food is cooked, seasoned, and what type of wood is used. I ordered the Beer Can Chicken with roasted potatoes, mac n cheese, and cornbread. The cornbread tasted sweet and cake like. The chicken was tender, juicy, and the BBQ sauce was homemade for sure. It was so good. The mac n cheese could have used a bit more seasoning. The potatoes were good but I wish there were more of them. This place is a gem and if I lived close by, I would return here often.

    The wonderful menu!

    Tammy (the best hostess), Kristin (our amazing waitress) and Emma (the nicest manager) were all amazing! Thank you for making our family trip of 12 end on a positive and wonderful note! The food was delicious and all the staff was amazing. I highly recommend for anyone who is exhausted by cheap park food and needs some extra love after walking all day!

    Was here with some friends. The place is huge with plenty of seating and cool vibes. SERVICE: It was great this evening as far as friendliness goes. It did take some time to get our drinks and the server disappeared every now and then. (This the 4 instead of 5 stars) FOOD: Super tasty!! We tried a few things from their burger to the ribeye. Everything was cooked right and tasted great!! If you are at Citywalk - this is a good option for you.

    Another great dinner at Bigfire. This time we were seated in the main downstairs area and it was a busy night. We frequently had people squeezing in between our table and the other ones next to us. I would recommend requesting to sit upstairs. They have some cool seating where you can look over the edge. Our food was delicious, as always, and perfectly cooked. I don't generally like carrots, but these were really good. I had to try my husband's fries, for research purposes, and those were nice and crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, hot and fresh.

    The steak was delicious and perfectly cooked! Might be a bit pricey here, but it is worth it. We also got the Premium Angus Ribeye Steak along with the Gorgonzola Truffle Butter (which I felt they should offer a smaller half size for half the price) and it was so good! My friend got the brussel sprouts, and a baked potato and the potato was huge! I did get the Raspberry Lemonade too and it was a refreshing drink. The ambience of this place makes me think of a restaurant you might find at a ski lodge, though this FL girl has never been. Just with the smell of wood in the air is so nice. We had a great server who checked in on us often, that was great service! I would definitely go back.

    Pros: great service, great food, great setting Cons: salmon was mid We had an amazing time here! I don't usually give out five stars, so this is a big deal for me. Right off the bat our server, Rebekah, was FANTASTIC. Could not recommend her enough. We had reservations at 7pm, and they sat us right around that time! We got two Hugo spritz's which were delicious, the fondue and butternut squash soup to start. Everything was super delicious, we never stopped and thought "where is our food", and Rebekah checked on us multiple times throughout the meal. For the main dish we had the vegan steak and the salmon. The vegan steak is to die for. It's sooo yummy, and doesn't feel like you are eating veggies at all. The salmon wasn't anything special, but it was still good enough that we ate it all! The sauce they put it in was very good. We had the s'mores for dessert which was such a fun experience. And we ordered two more spritz's. Even after our check was paid we didn't feel rushed at all, and we got to finish our drinks in peace. The place itself was super cute. We sat in an area looking outside which was nice. It didn't feel super crowded or packed together. I didn't see any booths which was fine, but we usually prefer a booth over normal seating. The food was all delicious, our server was hands down the best server I've had at universal, and overall the experience was such a good way to end our day! I would 100% come here again, and would recommend it to anyone looking for a nice dinner out in citywalk!

    Seasoned stone fruit Salad
    Wing I.

    Here for a friend's birthday about early February! We got seated fairly quickly but I think my friend has the reservation for that! The menu is fairly high price and the receptionist is very friendly. However the server is a little disappointed to us. But anyway, I ordered a salad and a drink. It was ok. The restaurant is clean and well decorated but I felt like it is more for the tourist than my liking!

We chose seats at the bar and were greeted promptly by Brian and Rowan. Because there were a lot of people and just the two of them, they were running around taking orders from tables as well as servicing the bar so it did take a little bit to get our drink orders in, but we were enjoying looking through the whiskey library anyways. I started off with a Suncreek blonde ale. It is strawberry blonde ale and it's delicious. My husband started with the Yingling. He keeps hoping they will bring the Kentucky bourbon ale back on tap again. For lunch, I got the whiskey dip which is full of chopped beef with cheese and onions. Served with an herb, dipping sauce, and your choice of side. I opted for the sweet potato waffle fries because they are delicious. My husband got a burger with fries cooked perfectly. Once we are done with our food, we did opt for a taster. My husband had to go through several different bottles before he found one they actually had in stock. That is one of the downside is the whiskey library that is online is not always reflective of what they actually have in stock as he was really looking forward to trying the old Fitzgerald birthday, but alas, they did not have it in stock. He ended up going with the jack Daniels 12 year and really enjoyed it. I opted for the widow Jane 14 year very sweet easy to drink. Great service from Bryan and Rowan always enjoy seeing them behind the bar

    I came to Sixty Vines for happy hour and had a pretty mixed experience. The Espresso Martinis are a…read moremust! They were super good and easily the highlight of the visit. The bartenders were also amazing--friendly, attentive, and on top of everything, which made the happy hour experience that much better. I had originally planned on doing Magical Dining, so I started with the Albondigas (Spanish meatballs). Unfortunately, they were a major disappointment. The texture was strangely rubbery, they lacked flavor, and they weren't served very hot. After a few bites, I honestly lost my appetite and decided not to continue with the rest of the Magical Dining meal. It's unfortunate because the restaurant itself has a beautiful, lively atmosphere, and the bar experience was excellent. I really wanted to enjoy dinner as much as I enjoyed the drinks and service. Overall, 3/5. I would definitely come back for happy hour, the Espresso Martinis and bartenders alone make that worthwhile but based on the food I tried, I wouldn't rush back for dinner.
