    Raintree is one of our favorite restaurants in St. A. We made reservations and the table was ready right on time. Laszlo did an excellent job of caring for us during the meal. Very friendly and efficient. Debbie had the Baked Salmon and I had the Mahi Picatta. Both meals were excellent in taste and quantity. Raintree adds a 15% tip / gratuity to all meals. You are informed of that upfront. It's also on the menu and on the check. We have been there several times now and they have never disappointed.
