Emeril's Orlando Restaurant on Universal Studios CityWalk

Whether you live in the Orlando area, or are heading to Orlando for vacation or business, you must make the time to stop in and have a meal at Emeril's Orlando Restaurant. The atmosphere is fantastic, and the food is unforgettable. Prices range from twenty to eighty dollars for most meals, but the cost can quickly add up when you factor in drinks and dessert as well. Although known for its Cajun and Creole dishes, Emeril's Orlando offers a variety of other meals in many different cuisines, including American, Seafood, and Continental. The menu also offers an irresistible assortment of desserts, so be certain to leave some room in your stomach after your meal.

Emeril's Orlando restaurant offers a full bar, more than 10,000 bottles of wine and champagne, and a decent selection of cigars. Although Emeril's Orlando restaurant once required formal attire, such as a jacket and tie, the new dress code has become much more casual. Emeril's now recommends that guests dress in business casual attire, and the restaurant asks that men not wear sleeveless shirts. This new dress code is an odd addition to the ambience of Emeril's restaurant, as the surroundings and decor are all quite formal.

While the prices are not exactly kid-friendly, Emeril's does offer a kid's menu that includes chicken tenders with mashed potatoes, filet mignon, fried shrimp with curly fries, and cheese tortellini Alfredo. The noise level in the restaurant can be high, especially on weekends, and therefore might not be suitable for very young children or infants that are sensitive to loud sounds.

The price of some of the dishes at Emeril's Orlando restaurant may prevent some families from dining there frequently, but everyone should try this restaurant at least once when in Orlando. You may even have the opportunity to meet the famous chef in person.
