| The upstairs in Latin Quarter is going Brazilian! Brazilian Steakhouse, that is. Apparently the Latin Quarter Restaurant (and night club) will remain downstairs but the upstairs has undergone extensive renovations in order to open next month as a separate restaurant. For a set price, diners will have access to flame-grilled meats that are brought to the table by roving servers and hand-carved to your specifications. This is a good move as Brazilian-style steakhouses are at a peak in popularity right now and the upstairs LQ space has gone wasted for years! I don't have a working name for the venue just yet but the one located at CityWalk at Universal Hollywood is called Samba. Since Orlando already has a Samba Room restaurant, that name seems unlikely. Interesting that CityWalk can get a new large restaurant while Pleasure Island apparently can't. Maybe this is because Universal is opening the restaurant it wants rather than trying to find a third-party to do it. |

I'd like to point out that yet another rumor Bob posted(if memory serves) has turned true, and it's not about PI AND it's not about a glimmer of hope of opening the clubs at PI
< /criticizing the critics >
For those keeping score today, that's City Walk 2 Downtown Disney 0
Mini-Golf and a steakhouse!
mini-golf?
(????)
and NOT about PI!
Hmm. That might just blow the budget so expect not much of a rehab at other clubs.. but, it's a good movie on UNI's part. They know that Disney has given up on anyone over 14 years of age and they are GOING AFTER that market big time!!!
GO UNI!!!!
I think the lesson Universal has learned from Harry Potter is that it takes money to make money. As Bob said, these types of places are on the upswing right now, I see this being very popular--it just took a company with the confidence to make an investment, rather than fishing for a third party to do it for them.
NOT about PI!!!!!
The Blog covers other things besides just PI.
