Mythos Thoughts?

[ncgator]

Hi everyone. I've been going to IOA for years, but have never eaten at Mythos. I know it had been considered a top rated theme park restaurant in the past, but given some of the newer restaurants in the park, would you still recommend trying it? Heading down for the Celebration of Harry Potter in a few weeks and will have 3 days at the parks, so plenty of time for a sit down meal.

Sorry for the type-o in the subject, meant to type "Mythos" and not sure how to correct.

We love it. Best food in the parks and excellent ambiance. The mushroom soup is fantastic. It's generally busy, even during slow days, so it's good to call for a reservation a day or two before you plan on eating there.

Does US have a restaurant like Mythos? I don't believe I have ever heard anyone speak of such a place. If not, why not?

Lombard's and Finnegan's are both sit down in Universal Studios. I find Lombards to be pretty underwhelming.

Mythos is hands down the best restaurant in the parks. Food, ambiance, everything.

I've only eaten at lombard's once but agree on underwhelming and will add overpriced

We eat at lombards often. Find the prices and food very,very good. Just ate
there today. To each his own.

Yes, we like Lombards also. It ranks real high on TPI's ratings. It won their Best USA theme Park restaurant award two years ago.

Maybe I just got it on an off day. I'll have to try them again.

I personally think mythos is pretty overrated but it's not bad by any means of the word. Definitely check it out if you want something other than the usual pizza and burger, you won't regret it

I think Mythos is the best dining option at IOA hands down. I prefer Finnegan's overall though.

 

[Shucker]

Its a great venue with one of the best views, looking out towards Marvel and toon town. I think its well worth it and we eat there once every visit. That being said, my favorite restaurant in either park in Finnegans. We usually eat there 2-3 times every visit. Of course it might be because of the Guinness.

Awesome, thanks everyone for the great feedback. We'll definitely plan to give it a try, possibly along with Lombards or Finnegans.

Ha. I thought there were actual "Myths" about Universal. You got me :bonk::rofl:

 

[UNIrd]

Love Mythos. It's my favorite restaurant ANYWHERE, parks or not.

When you go to Mythos, ask for a seat near the window. They also have a synopsis on the menu of the design of the building.

Mythos is good, but it's not Top Theme Park Restaurant or even the best place to eat in that park IMHO. Highly overrated simply because of that damn banner.

I just realized that I've never heard of Lombards and don't know where it is! I DO know where Finnegans is--it's a fun place to hang out, and after 5 years of going to UOR, I have never set foot in Mythos or the Three Broomsticks. I'm a creature of habit and now generally find myself eating in Springfield. I intend to change that on my next visit for HHN this year.

This is true. The banner is a bit misleading. It hasn't been best theme park restaurant since 2008."Rated #1 Themepark restaurant by Themepark Insider for 6 consecutive years" more like "We've been rated #1, just not in the past 7 years."

 

[King_K.]

I'm a big fan of Lombards.

Anyone know why Mythos is closed the entire first week of May? (According to the reservation link on the Universal site)
