Summary

Universal Studios Florida's San Francisco inspired seafood restaurant, where the emphasis is on deep-fried favorites and daily fresh fish specials. Originally an attempt at in-park fine-dining, with whole live lobsters formerly on the menu, Lombard’s Seafood Grille is now more casually focused. Unfortunately, so is the kitchen, but as one of only two full-service restaurants inside Universal Studios it's your best choice for a quiet meal off your feet.

On nights when Universal's Cinematic Spectacular is being shown, prix fix dinner packages are available at Lombard's for $44.99 adults, $12.99 kids (tax and gratuity included, park admission required). Diners choose an appetizer and entree from a limited menu (no crab or lobster, but you can get mahi mahi), and later attend a dessert reception on the deck behind the restaurant with an up-close view of the Cinematic Spectacular – sometimes drenchingly so, depending on which way the wind blows. Dinner seating start at 4 p.m., and the dessert party starts 1 hour prior to showtime. After you purchase your dinner package online at universalorlando.com, you must call 407-224-7554 at least 24 hours before arrival to confirm your reservation.

With two floors of seating, it's generally easy to get a table, even during the busier times.

Reservations can be made online via Zomato.

Setting and Atmosphere

Situated on the park’s main lagoon, Lombard’s looks like a converted wharfside warehouse. The centerpiece of the brick-walled room is a huge salt-water aquarium with bubble-glass windows, giving a distraction for the younger set. A fish-sculpture fountain greets guests, and there are private dining rooms upstairs with balconies overlooking the park.
