Best Seasonal Restaurants in Winthrop Harbor

Great decor and a fun experience for people and kids alike! The animatronics move every few minutes and there’s a giant tank arch you walk under. It is loud since they mimic a tropical thunderstorm and the animatronics make noise, so if your plan is a quiet dinner- this is not the place. But if you love to bask in wonderful atmosphere and heavily themed spots, you’ll enjoy. Rainforest Cafe is a delightful concept with yummy food. My personal favorite is surprisingly the Korean Fried Chicken Lettuce Wraps. Delightful gochujang and sweet and sour sauce over perfectly lightly breaded chicken with nuts. We followed it up with one of our favorites Pastalaya which is a buttery cajun delight with a kick! A volcanooooooo is a must for a rainforest cafe (though I am VERY tempted by their limited time Tsunami Cake and have plans to go back to get it). All in all, definitely worth a try at least once!

Went for lunch on a Saturday. Did not expect to be the only customers at the time but it was just perfect . Ambiance was perfect to hear conversations without too much background noise .

The service was great and the atmosphere was good. Love the bag of homemade chips instead of bread! One suggestion is to add and identify dietary restrictions options to the menu (e.g. gluten free, vegan).
