We had the chicken quesadilla and the chips and guacamole and salsa bar bites and both were great. The chips and guacamole plate was bigger than expected and we couldn't finish it all! We also did the "sher-a-cookie" which was a cast iron skillet chocolate chip cookie with vanilla gelato and it was a fun way to end the night! They had Halloween horror nights cocktails when we went and I had the "prince of darkness" which was really tasty. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout our time in the bar and helped wrap up a great park day for us.

It's casual without trying too hard, and the food and drinks are sublime. I grabbed a bar bite item and a craft cocktail, and everything delivered. The Chicken Cobb salad was fresh, colorful, and delicious. Like someone actually cared about the quality of the greens. For the cocktail, I tried the Paper Plane, and it was mixed perfectly. The staff kept the vibe high with fast service and lots of smiles, never underestimating the power of a genuinely friendly bartender. All in all, a great spot if you want good drinks, good food, and zero pretense.

Compared to other places to eat/drink in the park, this one was surprisingly good. The bar was themed for Stranger things, they were playing a stranger things soundtrack, and had a Stranger Things pinball machine. The Demogorgon pizza was kind of like a pepperoni Hot Pocket with a croissant crust. Maybe I was really hungry, but I really enjoyed this. Next was the Hellfire Club Pretzel. The pretzel was one of the better pretzels I've ever had. It was soft, warm, and covered with a hot cheetoes style breading. For drinks we tried all the specialty ones. The Surfer Boy was garbage. The Upside Down and the Mind Flayer were both delicious. We went back for Seconds, thirds, and fourths on the drinks. The Mind Flayer was the favorite, it came with dry ice so it bubbled, and had stringy licorice as a garnish. Definitely glad we found this bar, and the times we went practically had no wait. Probably because you have to be 21 and up to use this bar.

When we walked up to the bar it wasn't terribly busy. The wait in line was decent. We were able to…read morescore a standing table. The food didn't take long to reach us. It was dimly lit and gave off a more outdoor club feel. The only thing that was decent to snack on was the Demogorgon Pizza. It was fluffy like a pastry which really threw me off. I was shocked how delicious it was. I'd definitely recommend that. The Mind Flayer was delicious with very little alcohol. Prices were typical for a theme park. Everything else I didn't find to be worth the splurge.

The staff were attentive, sitting outside in the early evening was lovely this time of year, and the food was really good. Everything we had was great but the standout was definitely the pacific shrimp tacos. Those were phenomenal! Prices for dinner were good and it was nice that the tip is already included on the bill (noted on the menu and twice on your bill). If we stay at the Sheraton Universal again in the future we would definitely plan to have dinner here again.

I liked the bacon and the chicken. The salmon was cooked perfectly for dinner and had a nice amount of gnocchi too. I had this twice and both times it was really good! Staff are very nice and the place is quiet and clean (sometimes). It got a little loud with children around but that makes sense since it's near Universal Studios. Otherwise, it was a good dining experience. Try the truffle fries!

The hand rolls and sashimis were fresh, you really appreciate the quality of fish used, very flavorful. You are seated tucked in a cozy room in the back of the store, it provides an intimate setting or a night out with a group of friends. Staff made you feel at home, very attentive and friendly. Parking may be difficult if you are unable to find parking in the neighborhoods near by. Highly recommend experiencing what Lennox Lounge is putting down.

After a full day at Universal Studios, we decided to stop by Margaritaville at Universal City Walk…read moreto avoid rush hour traffic congestion. It turned out to be an excellent idea. We happened to be there during Happy Hour. Happy Hour is M-F from 2-6pm. We ordered Margarita and Landshark Lager beer. They were both good. They were cold and refreshing. We also had shrimp tacos, cheeseburger and nachos from their happy hour menu. They were all delicious. The food came out quickly. My only complaint is that we do have to sit at the bar area to take advantage of the happy hour menu and pricing. I think it would have been more comfortable to sit at the main dining room area instead of cramming everyone at the bar counter while the rest of the restaurant was empty.

I really wanted to like this place much more considering how we were so excited to finally try it,…read moreof course the video where someone did a dining tour of every single one, and this is the only location in California. We came here on a Friday for lunch and we were seated immediately. Not that many other customers so service was pretty attentive and was there whenever we needed a water refill. I do have to say the theming of the restaurant is on point and I felt more at a tropical getaway at a beach than I did in an urban cement hellscape which is super nice. There is A LOT to look at from the decor on the walls and even on the ceiling, the tropical "birds", beach set pieces, pictures of Jimmy himself and much more. However, I do think it being a weekday lunch contributed to a bit of how bland everything was since it looks like it can be popping on a weekend night or when there's a live band playing on their stage. As for the food, I think this was a tad disappointing. If you stripped away the theming, I would not be able to tell this restaurant apart from any of the much more common, cheaper sit down restaurant franchises out there. I guess, never keep expectations too high, or at the very least with the "themed" restaurants in the US, it's just the decor and aesthetics and not necessarily the menu. I don't drink, but the others who did said their margaritas were decent. Nothing to write home about and similar to what they could possibly get elsewhere. I do have to say that they have a limited drink menu based on the Fan Fest Nights. My boyfriend got the Jurassic Park themed one and said it was a tad too sweet, but overall just a standard fruity alcoholic drink. I got a non-alcoholic pina colada and it tastes like a yummy pineapple coconut creamy slush. Not bad, but not substantial either. I got poke nachos and my friend got a poke bowl and it's literally the same poke but just with different carbs. Overall, it was mediocre at best. Can't really compare to places that do their own poke bowls, but the amount of tuna was not that much and I'll be honest, I wish there was at least a little more variety to this (choosing the protein for the poke, but alas). Other than that, the menu has the standard affair of pasta, Mexican dishes, chicken, salad, burgers, etc. Almost $200 for 4 people, so it was already a pricey start to the day and the fact that it was for just okay food that can easily be found elsewhere, I think I'd skip dining here unless it was super lively or there was more seasonal menu items.

There is a 23% gratuity charge for a group of 6 or more. I was not happy about this on one of my visits, specifically because I was not informed by a waitstaff.

Located inside Hotel Amarano (also a hidden gem), FYC (For Your Consideration) emits a classy ambience and a cozy vibe. This is a place where celebrities will come to dine because their privacy is respected. It's intimate enough for date night but also a perfect spot to catch up with friends. Of course, Te-See & I are always dressed to the nines regardless of where we go, but this time our fashionable wardrobe was the perfect attire for this chic lounge. Libby (director of sales & marketing) even came over to tell us how fabulous we both looked. We had an enjoyable conversation with her, and she told us many wonderful things about Hotel Amarano. I'll definitely recommend it to visitors and may even book a staycation for myself. Norm the bartender was friendly and attentive - engaging us with lively banter. I had the Bouquet of Roses - a refreshing combination of Kettle One Peach & Orange Blossom vodka, Lillet Rosé, Rosé wine, & peach purée. It was perfect for the summer evening. Te-See had the Spicy Passionfruit Paloma - minus the spicy. It was also very tasty. Anton also had the Paloma but spicy. I compared the two and liked the spicy version better. I had to leave before food was ordered but my friends said that the Shrimp Cocktail and Parmesan fries were delicious and ample enough to share. I really liked the vibe of this place and look forward to coming back. *Valet for the hotel or street parking.

The Snug really lives up to its name by being a small, cozy and friendly Irish bar. Some might…read moreclassify it as a "dive," but that would be unfair -- it's a local place, sure, and totally no frills... but I counted more than 50 bottles of Call and Top Shelf Irish Whiskies, plus just as many bottles of Bourbon, Scotch, American and Japanese Whiskies, and a quartet of Pappy Van Winkle... this ain't no dive. Still, the drink prices are very fair. Barkeep Elizabeth was friendly from the get-go, and checked on me repeatedly to make sure I had what I needed. The digital jukebox was playing lively tunes, and the daytime crowd was laidback and chatty. There's no food in this pub, but packaged snacks (chips, nuts, etc.) are readily available, and I'm told you can bring in anything you like to eat. Fantastic!! Despite being on the "road to nowhere corridor" (Magnolia Blvd. between Hollywood Way and Cahuenga), and being incredibly easy to drive past, The Snug is a welcoming little bar with a genial crowd that's very much worth keeping your eyes and GPS peeled to find. You'll be as glad as I am that you did.

The Snug is an Irish bar and you can tell it's definitely loved by the locals - it seemed everyone sitting at the bar knew each other. We ordered a beer, shot of Whiskey and a tequila grapefruit which was very heavy on the tequila. The bar was clean, but the bathroom was another story - it definitely needed a deep clean. I guess that is expected from a hole in the wall bar though. We sat for a bit, drank our drinks and decided on where to go to next. Cheers to the bartender who carded me because she thought I looked a lot younger than I am! Not sure if we'd be back, but The Snug is still a cool spot for a quick drink!
