That price point for S'mores hurts to think about...I went there last night and just got the S’mores dessert. It was a little expensive for what it was ($18 for two people), but it was very fun.
At least it’s the only thing that’s really pricey. And given that you’re paying for the experience I get it.That price point for S'mores hurts to think about...

How many trains were they running?I had a GREAT meal here last night. Our server Dasan was seriously one of the best I've had on property. We started with the bread and some brussell sprouts.. super small portions.. so more of a side than a true sharing appetizer. Luckily, my friends aren't brussell sprout fans like I am.
We shared a bunch of entrees.. the Cobb salad is one of the best I've had. Chicken, pork belly, sweet potato, egg, almonds.. so good. I'd have it again right now if I could. I had the Cowboy Ribeye... it was good but not mindblowing. The fried chicken was really good and well seasoned. Sides were all good.. but the surprising winner here was the pork chops. None of us are pork chop people but we asked the server for a recommendation for the last entree for us to share. We weren't excited about it but wow. It ended up being all of our favorites.
I'd come back here to try something new or get the Cobb again for sure. I'll be back.
How was the pork belly in the Cobb salad, when Tim Tracker did his video there he said it was very chewy but it may have been down to the first few days of opening as they were still settling in ?
That’s unfortunate. Sounds like you had a terrible server that lied to you at least twice. I’d be pretty upset. Every restaurant since the invention of money can split a check. And I’m sure they could’ve swapped out a “garnish” for you if they cared.Ate there Monday night, and I cannot recall a worse dining experience in my life. We were shown to our table by a host that was quieter than a mouse. She walked us up to an area with four open tables and just stood there like we were supposed to know which one table 95 was. Our server arrived and we placed an order for drinks and an appetizer, and everything came out pretty quickly.
The gruyere spinach and artichoke dip appetizer was putrid. It was flavorless, and completely watery. Growing up, my Dad was a chef so going out to eat was often embarrassing with him sending anything and everything back. Because of this, I've literally never sent anything back at a restauraunt... until that night.
The waiter was kind enough to swap us out for the chili appetizer, which is just a bowl of chili with a block of cornbread plopped in the middle, with truly bad cast iron simulation plates to serve it on. The chili was pretty tasty, but it was just odd as an appetizer.
For the entree, I wanted to do the duroc pork chop, and I asked the waiter if it'd be possible to swap the coleslaw out for a different side, as I have an aversion to cabbage. He informed me no substitutions were possible because coleslaw is a garnish and not a side, despite it being on their list of sides. Plan B was the signature bison burger, which I ordered medium rare. The ingredients all had good flavor, but the burger itself was bordering blue rare. One of the other people in my group ordered the fried chicken, and said it was the blandest fried chicken she'd ever tasted. At the end, our waiter had a fit about us splitting the check, to the point that he lied and said the computers couldn't do it.
All in all, it may have just been a bad night, but I truly think this place is a loooooong way away from being a must-have restuaraunt stop.
I believe that was the last happy hour left at CW. A big reason for universal pushing for mostly their own branded restaurants is monopolizing alcohol sales and prices. It's a good business move just sucks as a guest. They also don't really need to entice anyone to come since the parks do that on their own these days.Asked about happy hour seeing they kept most of Emeril's bar layout and no go for now :thumbsdown::?:
