   Great place to take the kids, food was fine. Service was acceptable, and the kids liked the custom balloon animals that were made for them table side.

   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!

   You generally pay for the experience here, I get that. But the foods overpriced frozen food and the menus aren’t accurate. Fruit plate was “just apples” the “veggie plate” was only broccoli. They always place kids away from the animals, and the staff is bored of their job. Nobody was smiling or interacting with the kids or making it a fun experience. Sad overall, we won’t be back
