Whole experience was bad, 2 separate reservations messed up. Ended with a 7:45 time slot and when we came in for our time they said they weren’t taking any more people because 2 customers got into a fight.

The ambience is great and the food was good. Unfortunately, it took an hour from the time we ordered and the time our food arrived. Our appetizer came had clearly set out for quite some time since the queso had a thick skin on top. My son and his friends had a great time but I wouldn’t recommend if you’re in a hurry.

The waiters attitude was nonchalant she wanted a problem with my guest because there were so many of us and we gave her no problem at all but we received attitude from a couple of the staff members never again will I have a party there

Awesomenes for kids and adults. Kids can be kids and laugh and make noise, as the environment itself has rainforest noises.

I think Rainforest Cafe has been k on for its great rainforest atmosphere but also for having terrible food. It is still expensive, but there is nothing else like it. I love to take kids there. The food was actually great today. I really think people should give it another chance

Great experience, the food has gotten a lot better. Everything is around $25 though but you get a good amount of food each time so can’t complain.
