Emeril's Restaurant
Quiet
expensive, so it will not suit every ones budget. But, if money is not a problem try this
restaurant out...A fantastic venue for the romantics! My darling wife love's Emeril's.
What catches your eye when you enter is the open kitchen, where you sit down and
watch the chefs produce your meal to a very high standard.
The food is Southern based (Creole), and offers steaks, duck, and superb fish dishes,
along with fine wines.
Dining hours from: 11:30am - 2pm (Lunch) : 5:30pm - 10:00pm
Sun-Thurs (Dinner) : 5:30 - 11:00 Fri & Sat (Dinner). Check out Emeril's personal web page for further information with regards

NBA City
The
Americans love their Basketball! With that in mind this themed restaurant gets
extremely busy during the high seasons.
Giant 15ft video screens are the main focal point when you walk into NBA City, along
with a multi selection of contemporary food for all ages!
A main floor restaurant, 2nd floor restaurant & the Skybox lounge; NBA City is a fun
place to go with the family if you're all Basketball nuts!
Like all other venues, the staff are helpful and friendly and with
opening times from 11am till late, it's another good place to start your night off before

Pastamore
When
you're dining in CityWalk, Pastamore is a good place to visit before you enter the theme
parks for breakfast and that wake-me-up coffee at the 'Marketplace Cafe', situated in
Pastamore, which opens from 8am until late.
Pastamore opens from 5pm which is the main restaurant. As you can see from
the name, it is Italian. A little like Emeril's when it comes to an open kitchen, you
can watch your food being prepared as you wait and enjoy a nice glass of wine.
Not for all families but highly recommended, a large selection of pasta's, pizzas,
chicken and steaks are on offer.

NASCAR Sports Grill
NASCAR
cafe re-opened its doors to customers after a 3 month re-fitting and upgrade programme
(2008). Click

As with the NBA City cafe, this all American sports car cafe pulls in a lot of American
tourists and local residents during the evening time, before they move onto the night
time venues.....remember this little tip because if your visiting Universals CityWalk
during the peak seasons, you'll have a long wait to grab a table.
It's all very exciting stuff as soon as you step inside, with table side plasma
screens, NASCAR simulators and much more.
All food
once again is all American, and all families who's NASCAR fanatics will love this venue.
