Emeril's Restaurant- Universal City Walk

Here's another dining experience while on my vacation to Florida.  On this night we went to Emeril's Restaurant at the Universal City Walk in Orlando.  Orlando's Universal City Walk is the place to go if you want to eat at all different restaurants and do your shopping at the same time.  Lots of lights and people.  We made reservations for an early dinner.  This restaurant must be very popular because we overheard the hostess say that they are all booked that night until 10pm. and we had reservations for 5pm.  It was a very nice dining experience.  Everyone there were very courteous and willing to get you anything you needed. 

The prices range from Side Dishes @ $6.00 to Main Entrees @ $48.00.  Save up a lot if you want to dine here. 

Kurobuta Porkchops-View 1
I decided to order some pork chops for dinner.  The waiter recommended this because he said it was a cut of pork that was hard to get and it is very tasty.  So I went with his recommendation and when he brought it out, I was SURPRISED to say the least.  I was imagining it to be a cut of pork maybe about an inch thick.  As you can see it was a monster of a pork chop.  I couldn't finish it all, only about half..  It came with Sherry Mashed Potatoes along with a Roasted Pepper Reduction.  I asked to have it done Medium.  It was just bloody enough and was so soft and tender.

The picture doesn't serve it justice.  It was about almost 3 inches thick and about 5 inches big. 


Gulf Shrimp Pasta
This is what my wife ordered.  She just loves her pasta and shrimp.  It comes with Fresh Fettuccine, Shiitake Mushrooms, Braised Leeks, with a Black Truffle Butter Sauce.  It was so tasty.  The shrimp was not overcooked and the leeks had some crunch to them.  The butter sauce was not too creamy either.  A blend of tastes put together.  Creamy but not too rich. 


Overall for Service and quality of food, I give Emeril's Restaurant 5 stars.
