Also, any tips on good restaurants there would be appreciated.

Fresco's is right around the corner from Universal off Turkey Lake Rd....small family owned Italian place, doesn't look like much, but the food is fantastic and priced very reasonable.....make reservations or you won't be able to get in....good for entire family
Touristy: Go down I-drive (International) for all sorts of chain stuff, and there is a Melting Pot on Sand Lake.....wouldn't recommend any of it personally, but if you have family in tow, it may be ideal.
If you're looking for high end, there's a ton of places up and down Sand Lake (about 5 mins from Universal).....Eddie V's, Ocean Prime, Christinie's, personal favorite is "H".....ran by a couple of Turks, and they run a really tight ship....it is costly, but the presentation and food is amazing.....they do a table side service, which is a lot of fun.....again, very costly. But all of this is 5-10 mins from Universal.
