 Hey friends today. I am hanging out at Universal Orlando's Islands of Adventure I came here today because I wanted to try a restaurant that I've never eaten at before and I've always wanted to Mainly because there's a big banner on the outside that says best theme park restaurant So I thought today was a perfect day and plus we're gonna ride some rides and have some fun. I'm so excited Let's go do this The restaurant that I'm talking about is mythos and this place has some amazing theming They have an outdoor dining area. We're actually standing in the back of the restaurant when we go out front We're gonna be able to give you a little bit more of a look and plus we'll show you that banner that says best theme park restaurant The reason I wanted to actually start in the back of the restaurant is because you get a beautiful view and all the Coasters and all the theme lands from the backside and I just wanted to you know, take a quick peek see because this is amazing I love Universal Studios As you can see we have Seuss landing over there and then we had the Hulk Oh, it's just launched off right now and then Universal or Islands of Adventure's newest roller coaster the Velociraptor coaster that isn't open yet But should be opening pretty soon. Hopefully I Don't normally dine at sit-down restaurants or Universal Studios or Islands of Adventure So this is gonna be a learning experience for me In fact, I didn't know how to make a reservation or even if I needed a reservation But I did a little research and you can go on the website and make a reservation or you can just go up to the Restaurant person and actually make a reservation. So that's what I did I just walked up and I said party of one and I said we got a five o'clock slot and I said put me in So that gives us a couple minutes to actually maybe ride some rides and just explore But once we get done eating we'll still hang out in Islands of Adventure for a little bit I do want to show you all these amazing fishes down here. Look at this And you hear like that creepy noise. It's coming from the caves of mythos. There's a lot of theming going on Well, look at that big turtle swimming up now, too This has always been a restaurant. I wanted to try for such a long time So I'm so I'm so happy that I just decided to just come out and do it and just explore Look at all the theming that goes into the outside of this restaurant You can't deny that it's really really well-themed especially like outside. We haven't gone inside yet Oh, hello there friend and Since Seuss landing is right next to the restaurant Maybe we'll go over there and ride a ride why we wait for our reservation time But I wanted to just show you the theme park like the best world's best theme park restaurant sign so you can just see it for yourself I'm sure a lot of people have seen it and questioned it and I've always questioned it Right above the entrance there awarded world's best theme park restaurant by the theme park insider as We make our way in Seuss landing I wanted to come over and ride the Seuss trolley train ride right there recently Dr. Seuss has been in the news and Rumors are that they're actually recalling and cancelling a lot of their books And this is one of the funnest rides at Universal Studios I feel like it's kind of comparable to the people mover I would say because all it does is just go round and round but it is a train ride to train ride high in the sky I'm luckily enough to be able to use my express pass with my annual pass And we're going to be able to get a bird's eye view of all of Seuss landing. I'm so excited. This is such a fun ride I really think you guys are going to enjoy it Here in the heart of Seuss landing is a carousel that's truly outstanding One breeze One fish two fish red fish blue fish From there to here from here to there look out below It's that new McGrew zoo. Oh, what this zoo must be worth. It's the most wonderful zoo. I'm the face of the earth Say I like green apes and ham. I do. I like them Sam. I am And I will eat them here and there say I will eat them anywhere A fish made of strawberry jelly. Look at that. Say that makes a story that you are not very streamed We're going in a It's a very short ride But it's it's a lot of fun and you get to see a lot of different great views and that's why I like it It's kind of just relaxing and nice slow pace And as we walk out we actually cut through a bakery full of delicious little snacks A cat in a hat cookie a Grinch book cover that looks delicious and tons of other amazing like bakery items This is some good stuff. Look at all these cupcakes Wow a birthday cake mini whoopie pie. They have tons of little whoopie pies a brookie a thing one and a thing two Oh, wow, we're going to eat though. So we can't be doing this I mean we're going to eat like right now because they just sent me a text and said they can accommodate our reservation early So to proceed to the entrance. Is that a fancy? Once we get done with dinner, we're definitely going to hop right over to Hogsmeade And we're going to go to the Harry Potter area get a drink at my personal favorite theme park bar That's actually over there and also maybe ride a ride or two because it's right next door to this We're going to head right on in now though And I want to point out like all the different theming that I see because it's really nice when they add just that Extra touch of things like look at these handles on the front doors The entry foyer. This is basically where you would be waiting except for now. We don't do that And it's just very nice. Look at those lights. They're like snakes It's very cool in here This restaurant is really really cool looking. They have like an open kitchen layout And looks like they have a brick oven over there kind of reminds me of the ovens at Vianapoli And I just like the theming in here. It's very big. It's a cave And we're going to go over to our table and there's tons of fountains and rock sculptures along the way It might get a little bit loud in here because like I said, it is a cave It goes all the way up. So there might be an echo and there are fountains And that actually might make it a little bit difficult, but we'll do the best that we can Now that we're at our table I can take our mask off a little bit Just relax and kind of enjoy one thing I can say already is it has such an amazing chair Like I know I know a lot of people don't like think of things like this But I really do like when I think of like a good restaurant I think of like how comfortable the seating arrangements are the lighting the music the atmosphere And these chairs have such a great back support I could almost like crack my back if I wanted to Look at it. Isn't it just it's like a fancy fancy chair It's very heavy too. And I also like the rails and the little figurines they have on them Little things the details I say details are important Since I plan on getting a drink over in Hogsmeade I'm probably not going to get a joint care But they do have a big selection of like mixed drinks and cocktail Signature to this restaurant and they all have some pretty fancy names So I was a little tempted there, but I want to wait because my favorite drink is actually over there I really like how they give you the qr code here. They give you like this ancient like tablet for mythos This is really nifty and I like this better than just like having something sit on like the table And earlier I was talking about the drinks that they had here These are the specialty drinks they have they have like a mythos potion of the gods and a mortal old A lot of really cool themed drinks and I like that I asked them for a paper menu because it's easier for me to show you the options that are on here And I'm really shocked at the prices of things. This is like a really good deal so far I was expecting to spend like $50 for an entree But the most expensive thing is only $28 here and that's a braised lampshank I asked my waitress what the most popular things were and she said The 12 in bone-in chop is $23 just popular the beef loins were popular So I decided to get the beef loins But then she also said that the mythos signature lamb burger was very popular and that's only $18 And since I was already like kind of planning on spending $50 I decided to get them both that way I can try two of the most popular entrees here And I can get like a good fair judgment on how good the restaurant is the prices and the theming already impressed me If I can't eat all of the food because I'm probably not I mean it's a too big entrees depending unless they're very small like The beef uh the beef loin medallions. Maybe they're like very small like medallions So if I can't eat at all I will definitely take a box and maybe eat it for lunch tomorrow But while I'm here, I might as well just kind of explore and enjoy Oh fancy Oh, I like it. Who's that for? I'm only kidding. It's for me Thank you Normally, I don't think a lot of people actually order two entrees They're not very big though. And like I said, this is more for the video So that I can get a grasp on like the good items and I've always wanted to be here. So, you know, mice will go big I think the first thing we're going to dive into is the beef loin medallions and it comes with a potato puree It comes with sea salt roasted carrots and then a red wine reduction This looks really really good and it's cooked right to the perfect temperature. I think I'm just gonna cut one open Get a little bit of a taste with just the red wine reduction And then I'm gonna add a little potato and carrot to it. But that looks oh, yeah, that looks perfect When it comes to like steaks and potatoes and stuff like that I normally not a big fan of like red wine reduction But this one might be pretty good. I got a good whiff of it and I was like that smells pretty interesting So I'm gonna just try the steak with the reduction Really really good. Oh, yeah, I actually like the reduction And I did grab a little bit of the potato puree here and that is amazing So now we have to do a little bit of the combo where we get a little bit of the Steak, yep a little bit of the puree put it right on there Perfect and that's what we're talking about This is a really really good dish and especially for the price That's what I'm super shocked about a meal like this probably at disney or any other theme parks Probably would be running you 30 40 dollars easily my check would be 100 if I ordered two entrees, but I think we might be under 50 bucks still that's that's kind of crazy, isn't it? I'm also a fan of the carrots because these don't look like they're super soft So they're gonna have a little snap into it and I like that. I like when they're like Cooked a little bit all the way through but I still like a little snap in the carrot. I don't like mushy carrots Is anybody like mushy carrots? When I get a carrot I kind of want to snap into it like a slim gem snap into the carrots This was really good I ate everything except for just a little bit of the mashed potatoes that is left there It came with two carrots and then two of the medallions I mean three medallions and I would say that the medallions are probably like four ounces So 12 ounces all together and this was this was decent under 30 dollars for the dish, but now We're gonna get the mythos signature lamb burger. Oh, yeah, look at this bad boy This looks good doesn't it and this sauce right here is the feta Olive aioli. So this is kind of like the cheese that comes on it. I asked for it on the side because You know, I don't know And it's purple So I think I'll dip my french fry in the feta olive aioli just to see what it tastes like I'm glad I asked for it on the side But the lamb burger itself does come with some very nice caramelized onions right on top there and I can see it's Very nicely seasoned. It's very delicious looking like I feel like it's been a long time since I've had lamb or lamb burger. I had a bison burger recently and I think I remember I think I liked the lamb burger the last time I had it So we'll find out the bun is definitely a little bit thicker. That's a thick bun That is a good Wow, I like it a lot very well seasoned the sauce itself is supposed to come on the burger and that's like a part of the cheese I'm not a big fan of feta But I did ask the waitress and you can get other cheese on it if you want or you can get it on the side and uh Yeah, I'm just not a big fan of feta. But if you do like feta, then this probably goes so well together I can't really tell you which one I like more Only because like it's it's a hard. It's a hard deciding factor because I feel like When you're paying just like 10 bucks more actually, I think it's only nine bucks more You're paying nine dollars more than the burger and you can get you know, I mean the beef loin Medallions and that comes with the potato puree and the carrots and the reduction And I think that's a good deal. So if you're looking for more of a like upscale like entree I think that's totally worth it. But when it comes to like size and quantity the burger is definitely Definitely worth it. You know what I mean? Like I ate the medallions pretty quickly. It wasn't filling at all So like I'm probably gonna finish all of this and if you do eat a lot of food or like you like to be full Then uh, the burger is probably the way to go. You know what I mean? I ate those medallions pretty quick, but This one is it's a big burger like you've seen the bun. You've seen the burger. It's like this So that's just a good thing to think about But I think they're both very very delicious. I mean honestly, they're it's a really good food. It's good food here actually Now I'm all finished. I eat just about all of my food I mean, there's a couple fries left and the mashed potatoes I couldn't finish But it was very delicious and I'm gonna wait for my check I want to see how much everything cost and then I will give you all my thoughts and opinions like outside when we leave actually It was only $38 with my annual pass discount $38 for two entrees at the self-proclaimed Best theme park restaurant. I think that's pretty fancy. I don't know if I'm gonna go up this way. Oh, I can Oh, look at that. So this is the outdoor dining area This is where we started our video off like down there is where I was uh, kind of doing the intro Oh, this is very nice out here. I would have mined actually, you know here I got the fancy chairs too Now that we're all finished up I think the big question is do I think this is the best theme park restaurant? I would have to say no. I mean, it was a great restaurant. Don't get me wrong The prices were phenomenal. The theming was amazing. There was a lot of great things about it There's nothing wrong with this restaurant In fact, it might be the best universal studios restaurant because I mean not including city walk All the restaurants and sit down restaurants that are in the parks. I've only been to two of them And this one is the best one so far I think I might try all the other restaurants like on city walk too But I don't think this is the best. I mean the price like I said Perfect and the theming It was a really good restaurant. If you were here, I would definitely want to eat here And I plan on eating here again because I want to try some of those unique Cocktails they looked fantastic and speaking of cocktails. I think I need to go over to hogsmeade and get my drink Let me know in the comments. So what you think if you've eaten here before or what your opinions are from just this video alone I mean, this is like I said a good restaurant and so much theming Earlier I seen a velociraptor coaster testing there. I don't know if it's going to go off again But it was really really awesome. I'm excited to ride that when it does open Look at that drop It is definitely getting a little chilly out though. I'm actually cold I think I need to get a jacket or a hoodie or something the short sleeves isn't working right now And it's kind of strange because it's march Time to head into hogsmeade and it's looking very crowded here today The line for hagrids is going all the way back to the restaurant actually It's definitely worth it because it's one of my favorite rides in all of orlando and theme parks But where I want to go is into like I said my favorite little bar or my favorite little theme park bar Since it's actually a very busy day I'm going to show you one of my favorite places to duck out and actually get away from the crowds A little like a little looking cranny in the corner that I'd like to go to So like kind of just like calm down and you know just get composure because it can get very like frustrating or stressful especially with a lot of big crowds and inside hogsmeade alone It is very tight quarters Even during the pandemic as you can see but we're going to get in line right here are Because this is hogshead and this is where I'm going to actually be getting my drink I don't know where the line begins though. I think they're just casting spells. I don't know if they're here to get drinks Or maybe this is just a line They were just casting spells. They're not in line So I'm going to get my drink and we'll take it to go and I'll show you my secret little spot over there Maybe get another ride in this sounds like a great time We're going to be getting a deathly hollows drink here Now this is one of my favorite drinks because of two reasons number one I love harry potter number two It's the only tattoo that I actually have is the deathly hollow So it always it goes hand in hand for me every time i'm here. I got to get it. I absolutely love it And here it is my favorite drink the deathly hollows a little bit of mixture of hogshead Strong bow and then gennis and now i'm going to show you guys my little spot that I'd like to go to and it's right back here Right next to honeydewks and you get a little alley all to yourself Can you hear the china in there? Isn't this so nice and relaxing? You can just sit back here drink your beer and just kind of enjoy the Peace and quiet no hustle and bustle just the way I like it really nice and relaxed Sometimes a team member might walk back here, but I mean unless you know you don't know People don't come back here. It's so nice though. Look at it. You're just walking around and Enjoying like a little piece of harry potter all to ourselves on a very busy weekend day It is seriously like the perfect nook and cranny though honestly And I just love this drink Oh, it's so good like you get the gennis first and you know gennis is gennis and then you get the hogshead Which is a nice nice beer and then a nice sweet touch with the strong bow at the end So good much too good for children And that put me in just the right mood So now we're going to move along and we're going to try to ride another ride Hopefully before it gets a little dark out and the park closes in an hour But first have you seen this wizard? Universal doesn't allow you to film on mostly all the rides But some of the rides actually they don't like say it So like I just take that as I can film on it, but it's very few like maybe two of them So the only other ride I can really film and show you Happens to be a favorite of mine and it's Flight of the Hippogriff and it's just a fun little coaster. It's kind of like Goofy at Magic Kingdom. Just really nice. It's a little tiny coaster mostly for kids If you're sensitive of like roller coasters or heights, this is perfectly fine to ride But could we just appreciate how beautiful Hogwarts is right now? Like it's the perfect sunset like time the colors are just looking amazing This place is truly magical. I can say Here is a little like Hagrid Scarecrow and he's got pumpkins all around. This is such a fun little ride. Oh, here it comes Also like riding this ride during a sunset because the views are beautiful You're gonna be able to see the castle and all of hogsmeade actually all lit up and it's gonna be beautiful. Trust me. I love it Look, you can actually see the Hippogriff right here a little animatronic She's so pretty Look at how beautiful this is Look at that castle. Isn't it amazing? It's like almost glowing Oh, and there's that view that I was talking about Holy moly Oh boy, there we go Oh, it's so fast Oh, I love it Oh coming in for a dip That is a very very short ride. I think it's like literally 20 seconds So it's just like that, but it's so nice. Did you see those views? Unbelievable. That's why I like it so much Now we're gonna start making our way out though I wonder if we're gonna be able to see the velociraptor coaster testing You can see Hulk in the background and this is gonna look so pretty because I'm pretty sure the velociraptor coaster is uh Blue so it's gonna be blue and green. Isn't that pretty amazing? I waited as long as I could I didn't see anything testing So I think we'll just move along but it is beautiful. Trust me and it's gotta be beautiful once it officially opens But walking through here with the music is just as amazing Look at that and the fire And then of course hogsmeade right through Jurassic Park Since I'm over here I might as well stop and see if I can get my annual pass holder button and magnet Inside the comic store here Oh, thank you Green eggs and ham That is really cool the annual pass holder button for this month is green eggs and ham I like it. This is really cool. Now. I don't collect these. I just picked them up because they're free And I always I always remind myself Hey, you gotta pick it up and then I kind of take it home And I I usually like go set it on my fridge or put it on my little shelf But I think I'm gonna give this one away So if you actually want to win this, uh, just leave a comment on the video Letting me know what your favorite ride is at Universal Studios And I will randomly just select a comment So leave a comment your favorite ride like the video and I'll reply back and get your shipping address And you can have a little green eggs and ham any hoos. I hope you enjoyed the video. I enjoyed making it We will see you next time Bye And no, Wanda This is chaos magic. You are the scarlet witch
