As someone who was not aware of those details upon seeing the reveal, i was admittedly underwhelmed and went, "Wait... Where's the steaks?"

There are more meats. It seems the travel writers got info about it but the Press Release didn't mention it for some reason.

Ancient Char Siu Pork – roasted pork belly with Bloody Roast pork dipping sauce

Carved Staked Steak - with green onion mashed potatoes, roasted carrots, mushrooms, and acorn squash with "bloody jus"

Okay, the lack of moving walkway to and from Epic make total sense now—Universal is trying to help you break even on those calories. :lol:

I know some of the things currently revealed aren't out there but I enjoy a simple combination of flavors without being too exotic. The blood orange chicken sandwich followed up with dessert with a Butterbeer crepe sounds amazing! Side thought: if Universal can figure out how to make Butterbeer an inhalant they can offer Butterbeer in three states of matter.

I wanna say this dish was nearly done but the chefs felt like something was missing. A pinch of Fruity Pebbles leftover at the bottom of the bag a moment later and tada!

So...

Tell me I'm crazy if I am.

The "Bird on a Stake" is literally the Pinchos that they just had at HHN. Was that a secret menu item test???

Wonder how many others were food item tests in disguise? Mardi Gras food offerings could be another possibility.

That’s so cute.

I’d really like to eat at Atlantic — I’m hoping the menu offers me something I can’t refuse.

Ooh. So looks like they are on a track and will move along the route, kinda like a restaurant with a train around and above you. Fun!

Atlantic looks great!

It'll be interesting to see how popular this restaurant is from the start. Seafood-heavy restaurants in the parks aren't the most popular options and often have reservation availability.

I'm honestly curious how expensive these restaurants will be. Atlantic and Blue Dragon I feel like will be very pricey.

My gut says nothing truly crazy. The plating of the sea bass didn’t particularly look like fine-dining. I think the actual $$$$ restaurant will be Helios’.

Blue Dragon will be interesting. I feel like Asian cuisine still isn’t particularly popular in Florida and in turn it typically isn’t too good unless you’re taking a drive down Colonial.

A contrarian opinion: The fake fish moving above do nothing for me. I think I'll probably dine elsewhere. It doesn't exactly scream 'class'.

The overarching theme of Celestial Park seems to be a fantastical type of ‘class’. I like it here, but it runs a high risk of looking tacky.

You don't like the space fish?

Imagine the food was the best food in the world, would you still not dine there because it doesn't scream 'class'? Lol

It's a theme park, maybe one of the classiest by the looks of things but theme parks in themselves aren't exactly petri dishes of class.

I don’t blame him — It’s a big part of the restaurant experience! Hammond’s at USB is a great recent Universal example of classy-themed restaurant.

Fair enough.

Let's hope the restaurant is that classy on the ground that you don't even remember to look up!

I don’t love it either tbh, but, it does fit how this entire park will have an overwhelming amount of kinetic energy.
