You are exactly right Wendy- I just posted on that exact question under "decent dining at USF".
Mythos is definately a great place, but it is on the sophisticated and pricey side. The food and atmosphere really should be enjoyed at a leisurely pace for the best experience. My son has autism and is particularly picky in his food choices, he eats french fries, pizza and not much else. While my daughter and I loved Mythos, he only ate the rolls and was anxious to get out of there long before the rest of us were finished.
For young families trying to get most bang for the vacation buck there are lots of other options in IOA, Citywalk, and Universal.
Universal does a terrific job of covering the full gastronomic spectrum. There are more things to eat and places to eat them than you can shake a drumstick at. From pretzel carts to world class gourmet.
I mentioned my favorite USO places in my other post, in IOA on a hot summer day I find it hard to resist the huge tubs filled with ice and fresh fruits and beverages. Confisco's has great lunches my kids enjoyed. If you are a sugar junkie you must hit Cinnabon or the funnel cake stand. Ever try green eggs and ham? You can in the DrSeuss area!
The only places I have been dissapointed at were the cafeteria style places in the Marvel and Cartoon areas.
If your kids are anything like mine they will likely have eaten so much from the street carts and booths you won't even need to bother going into a restaurant.
