Description: Emeril's Orlando encompasses everything that Emeril stands for - high energy, bold exciting flavors & a memorable experience. Chef Emeril Lagasse's fifth restaurant, Emeril's Restaurant Orlando, is a fitting addition to the line-up at Universal CityWalk. Upon entering the restaurant your eyes take you on a ride up the metal staircase, across the Gertjejansen artwork, down the wall of wine, over the Ochsner portrait & stopping for a moment at the food bar. By this time the staff greets you with the warmth of a welcome home. A drink at the bar, maybe a classic New Orleans cocktail to start & then you are seated. The dining room bustles with energy with a view of the chef & the brilliance in the kitchen. Although walk-ins can be accommodated, reservations are highly recommended. Our dress policy is casual, but no sleeveless shirts for gentleman & boys. Bernard Carmouche, Chef de Cuisine, and Gabriel Orozco, General Manager, are dedicated to providing you with that memorable dinner.

I ate here several times whenever I went to Universal Orlando. The happy hour menu is really delicious and budget conscious. You get to sample the restaurant's cuisine without breaking the bank. One time, I had good barbecue creole shrimp and mushrooms in a good cream sauce and pasta. More recently, I had filet kabobs that were cooked perfectly. They... More

It's ok and not over the top. The food is good- not great and for those prices, better service please! My sons birthday and he wasn't wished a happy birthday by our two waiters until the very end and given a sorbet. However the table next to us had a good waiter and he wished my little one a happy...

The food is outstanding! The service is even better. They have a fantastic happy and you can take the kids. They have invented great cocktails. One of my favorites is the cantaloupe martini concocted and served by Susan, it's amazing! It's located in CityWalk, just out Universal Orlando.

I went accompanied by vegetarians, while the server and kitchen tried, their options were limited and dull. No beer on tap so far as I could tell, but a delicious malbec was available by the glass. I had the lambshznk here before and a colleague ordered it again this time - once again stupendous. I ordered the pork chops. Succulent,... More

Is longevity the stamp of greatness? In a town where restaurants change as fast as costume characters, Emeril’s Orlando has stuck a winning recipe. The ever changing and demanding world of destination theme parks almost dictates the short life span of most restaurants. Returning guest are drawn to new attractions. But in Emerils case, guests come for the genius of... More

I went there with great expectations having never eaten at an Emeril restaurant. I am a fan of his on TV. But this was truly disappointing. I had the caprese salad. Not bad. About average. Then the andouille crusted red fish. Tastless! Weird. Tasteless. I didn't even finish it. The shoe-string fries were good as was the sauce, but this... More

Emeril has the reputation and his restaurant delivered. Great salads, perfectly cooked meats and scallops and huge desserts made our party of six very happy! While it is expensive we were more than happy with the value provided. Would we return?? BAM, without a doubt!!

I made a reservation for my family of 5 at Emeril's after a day at Universal Studios Park. When we arrived we were greeted professionally and seated immediately. One of the team members that were serving us that day came to the table and took our drink orders and one of the team members gave us menus and bread was... More

We went here on our visit to Universal. We celebrated my 13-year-old daughter's birthday here, and it was fabulous! The service was top-notch, and our entire table of 7 was very happy with their selections. My husband and I did the chef's tasting menu with the wine pairing. The wine was AMAZING, and the food was DELIGHTFUL! The highlight of... More

My husband and I went to Emeril's Orlando last weekend for our 22nd anniversary. Though the menu prices are high ($32 for chicken) the food was excellent. The wait staff was beyond great. They were so attentive that when I left the table to go to the bathroom I noticed upon my return that my napkin had been refolded and... More
