Rainforest Cafe

The Rainforest Cafe is a chain of restaurants owned by Landry's which is responsible for a variety of well known Seafood restaurants around the United States.

The Rainforest Cafe offers a unique dining experience as you find yourself transported to a tropical rainforest, complete with animated gorillas and other animals that "come to life" periodically. The decor includes large plants, waterfalls, and large aquariums at most locations. Every 30 minutes a simulated thunderstorm with rain is featured which really enhances the overall experience.

The food is good but tends to be on the pricy side as expected. It's a great place to bring kids for a birthday celebration or other gathering. For us, we opted to sit on the outside patio so you lose the rainforest theme decor but for larger groups to be able to talk, this is a better alternative.

Trying to eat a little healthier, I opted for the veggie burger, no cheese. It was one of the better veggie burgers I've eaten. Julz and Angel got the pasta (can't remember the exact name but it looked really good), Joe had the Tuscan chicken, and Silvina had a wrap. Everything looked good and their selection of rainforest cocktails was pretty good.

Best recommendation is to try and make reservations if you know you are coming, even on a week night! Before 7pm on a Wednesday, there was already a 20-30 minute wait for inside.
