Matt was a great waiter, very attentive and helpful. The restaurant is fun to eat at, the prices reasonable, and the portions large. All the kids ate well, and we got some fun toys in the store.

We went for dinner on a Saturday night. This location is on a mall. And, the change of times where people really don't go to malls any more really showed. Many open tables. The ladies bathroom was a fall hazard in two stalls where the floor drain was located. Broken and missing tiles in the slanted floor. Generally the bathroom felt unclean. Our server Chris was top notch! We had many questions because a secondary menu did not have price listings for the items ordered. Chris had to go ask management for exact prices. Chris was funny, attentive, and more than willing to help us work anything we asked or needed. The food was very good! It really is a shame that the company as a whole is struggling in light of the social changes from the post COVID and death of the mall experience replaced by the Internet.

We arrived at Rainforest Cafe at 5:00 for our 5:30 reservation. Restaurant was virtually empty so they were able to seat us. Server showed up fairly promptly. We ordered drinks. We we seated with our two grand daughters 3&7 years. Food order was take. Right after drinks arrived. It took an hour for food to arrive and adults food arrived before the kids who were over hungry and tired. For the price the food was disappointing. My husband ordered steak medium rare and it was well done. Kids chicken fingers were rock hard overcooked. Coconut shrimp was mushy. Ambiance was great but service slow and food quality quite terrible.

Some crying babies, but it happens! Kind of wish the mall noise was drown out a little more. Didn’t ruin the experience however!

Annie was a great server! Both her and the manager on duty confirmed my son’s allergies prior to preparing is meal. Everything was fresh and delicious and I appreciate the staff singing happy birthday to my little guy! Would dine again! The Pastalya was absolutely delicious!
