Universal Orlando Resort: The Cowfish Restaurant Review

2/14/2023 • Blog, Universal Studios • On our last trip to Universal Orlando Resort, we made a reservation for The Cowfish. Known for their burgers and sushi, it was quickly put at the top of my husband's request list. Walking into this multi-level establishment, you will find the host stand and an elevator.

The creamy rosemary and lemon ricotta was breaded and fried and served on a bed of homemade tomato sauce. It was so delicious we used the rest of the bread to mop up the tomato sauce. Entrees were an even more difficult decision. I was stuck between the lasagna made with […]
