Big Fire Restaurant Review

Big Fire is, in my opinion, a great addition to Universal CityWalk at the Universal Orlando Resort. Having been a huge fan of Emeril's which was previously in this location, I was skeptic, but quickly put at ease once we were inside and met our server.  

After a full day in the parks, we had a pretty late dinner on the agenda so we started in the lounge attached to the restaurant.  The cocktail selection is quite extensive, with bourbon drinks being the star here. My Manhattan was delicious and set the tone for a great meal ahead! 



The open kitchen is a great feature as you enter the dining room.  The decor is modern yet cozy with touches of plaid throughout.


We started the meal with some wine and some mussels, which came out steaming hot and was quite impressive to see.

Skillet Roasted Mussels - Herb broth, white wine, chives, grilled bread
After that delightful start, it was time for some entrees. The menu had something for everyone, with the food being familiar yet having a little something special to elevate the dish.  Honestly everything we tried was so good!  Even a late night after a long day, we came close to cleaning our plates.  Our entrees ranged from $14 (salad) to $27 (scallops) which seemed like great prices for a theme park for the quality of food we received.  There were some more expensive things on the menu (the highest being $39) but they didn't tickle our fancy on this particular evening.

Beer Glazed Scallops - Bacon, fire grilled vegetables, charred hearth bread
Signature Cheeseburger - 1/2 lb. black angus beef, cheddar, beefsteak tomato
 Grilled Pork Chop - Mustard bercy sauce
Short Rib Pasta - Garganelli, oyster mushrooms, sherry cream sauce
 Baby Beets & Goat Cheese - Mixed greens, walnuts, apples, pomegranate vinaigrette
We were too stuffed to try out their desserts, but I'm sure they would have been just as good given the quality of the rest of our meal.  The service we had here was also outstanding.  Our server was slammed but made sure to take great care of us and made us feel important and taken care of throughout the meal.

5 Ways To Get Psyched For Your Disney Trip!

Hey-Howdy-Hey, Disney Guys and Gals!      Is anyone familiar with Barney Stinson's "Get Psyched" Mix? Anyone? How I Met your Mother Fans? Ok, great! So you totally get where I'm going with this! If you have no idea what I am talking about, you can watch a clip  HERE!  Basically, the theory is that no matter what's going on in your life, you can get yourself psyched up and ready for something awesome to happen, all by listening to the right piece of music. Playing off of that theory, I feel that one of the very best things about a Disney trip is actually  preparing  for it, or getting psyched! You can have a whole bunch of crappy stuff happening in your life at the time, but if you have a Disney trip on the horizon... even if it's 564 days away, you have something to look forward to and enjoy preparing yourself for. In fact, many Disney fans, (myself included), pretty much get from one day to the next by preparing for upcoming trips. You may even book a ne

Local Vendors We Recommend in Orlando

The hottest trend in the ultimate Disney vacation is utilizing local vendors who are/or used to be Disney Cast Members to enhance your trip.  There are a wide variety of services and products you can get from these wonderful people, so we wanted to highlight a few of our favorites that we have personally utilized and would recommend. Charcuterie: Ordering a charcuterie board for your family or party is a great way to enhance an arrival day when you might be a bit snacky or maybe for a pool day at the resort.  It's the perfect snack to munch on throughout the day and makes you feel just a little bit fancy.   Journey Across the Board This is the charcuterie you order to feel bougie and pampered and really elevate your trip.  Their boards are premium and they can be designed and personalized in so many ways.
