The Bayliner diner needs to adjust their "special" signs. You cannot print cheese ravioli "with" meatballs on a sign with a busy background with the "with" being in gray text. I only saw two different specials. "Cheese Ravioli" and "Meatballs". I can't and do not eat meat and was given a plate of meatballs that the server was unwilling to redo because he pointed to the sign with the extremely hidden "with" in it.
I've already struggled to eat here as a vegetarian because of a lack of options so getting a plate full of meat on an option I thought was vegetarian feels really crappy.
Especially after not booking me in the correct accessibility room which made us have to move.
Now a third meal I couldn't eat (the first two were just gross, you need someone to teach your chefs how to cook your "chicken substitute" - which I assume is Gardien or Morning Star - hint, give it some crisp in an air fryer or something first). The pasta salad should be renamed to "Mayonnaise with noodles".

Read moreI think this is one of the best places for the value anywhere at Universal. I have tried a number of things here and have not been disappointed.
This is a food court type restaurant. You get your food from on of 4-5 different stations, pay for it and then bring it out to the seating. Great for a family but it is not fine dining.
Starting with breakfast. Breakfast is breakfast. I did not think is anything special and the prices were just ok. Nothing bad nothing great. The coffee is pretty poor however. Want good coffee, go to Starbucks.
Lunch and dinner is where this place shines to me and especially the International window. Nothing is extreme and everything is toned down for American tastes so it is very tasty without being spicy/hot. The Last trip I had the Jerk Chicken which is really good. I had the daily carving on a different day which was a pork tenderloin which was also wonderful.
The best was the Brazilian Beef Churrasco which was out of this world. Cooked to whatever doneness (medium rare for me) you wanted and served with 2 large sides (I had mashed potatoes w/gravy and Rice). The meat was perfectly cooked and really good. The sides were just what I expected with no complaints. A huge feast for right around $15.00. So a really good value compared to home prices.
They also have icees here as well if that is something you like and you can use your length of stay refillable mug...
Read moreThis is your theme park resort food faire but it's reasonably priced, the food is good, and the atmosphere is charming. I do mean it when I say the food is good, sure there's plenty of menu items that are basic but the chicken tenders, hot dog, and pizza are all tasty.
The thing that sets it apart is their international stall, you'll get a really good meal here! Breakfasts here are OK but once again there's standouts like thr Belgian waffle - there's always something that elevates this place on offer.
The grab and go items are also well priced for the most part. Will you spend $3 on chips? Yeah. But it's worse elsewhere. A hot tea will run you like $5 or $6 and that's absolutely outrageous even by resort standards. Most things are more reasonable however. The atmosphere is charming, a cafeteria with chairs and booths with retro diner theme with old commercials playing silently in loop on giant screens.
Overall while it may on the surface seem to lack some of the elevated stalls of Unviersal Aventura, a similarly priced resort, it offers way more options, is more family friendly, and thr International stall competes with the options I've personally had the Aventura. Staff is cordial but would love friendlier staff across both Disney and...
