Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Rainforest Cafe in Niagara Falls offers a vibrant atmosphere perfect for families with children, featuring "great ambiance" and entertaining animatronics. While the service is generally "attentive and friendly," prices are high, and food quality varies. The rainforest theme creates a unique experience, though some guests find it "overstimulating."

    Le prix est beaucoup trop élevé pour ce qui est offert. Une mauvaise odeur d’humidité combinée à un établissement vieillissant et mal entretenu donne une première impression très négative. La propreté laisse grandement à désirer : des papiers de toilette jonchent le sol, les toilettes sont dans un état déplorable, des restes de condiments traînent sur les tables mal nettoyées, et les rebords de tables noirs laissent des taches sur les pantalons. L’attente est interminable, même pour obtenir un simple verre d’eau — et encore plus longue pour un cocktail. Un seul barman pour une centaine de clients, c’est clairement insuffisant. L’endroit se veut familial, mais il est loin d’être reposant. La nourriture est correcte, sans plus, mais les prix sont démesurés pour la qualité offerte. Bien qu’il y ait des effets sonores et lumineux, le son des haut-parleurs est atroce et les effets visuels sont mal exécutés. Nous avions visité celui de Walt Disney en 2012, et l’expérience était d’un tout autre niveau — tant au niveau de la nourriture, de l’ambiance que de la propreté. Le concept reste excellent, mais plusieurs ajustements sont nécessaires pour redorer l’image de ce restaurant et lui rendre hommage, à la hauteur de celui de Walt Disney.

    The staff are very friendly and the experience of the restaurant itself is great for the kids. However, the prices for the food is ridiculous! 1 kids meal with a chocolate milk, plus 1 poutine and 1 chicken wrap with fries cost over $92.00 with taxes. To make matters worse, the food is average at best.

    I made a reservation for this restaurant about one week in advance. They lost the reservation so I suggest you keep it on your phone to show them when you arrive. After showing them the reservation, we were seated right away. We sat next to the large fish tank in the front. Several people came up to the fish tank with their young children, so be aware if you don’t want to be disturbed during dinner. We found out that the eel who lived in the tank has been there for 20 years! We feel we felt kind of bad for him. My daughter had the coconut shrimp and I had the shrimp with salmon. There was a little too much coconut coating for our liking. The service was friendly and attentive. It is very loud inside the restaurant. Overall, it was a positive experience but not a culinary one.  The restaurant is located in a very active part of Niagara Falls with lots of foot traffic and relatively easy to get to.

    The staff did not honour our reservation, we had to wait in line. The hostess was extremely rude and even reprimanded another employee, who was trying to help me, right in front of me. My husband had dirt all over his lettuce piece in his hamburger, so he had to send it back. Very pricey for what you get. Overall, a horrible experience.

    Over priced - every item was between 30-35 for simple food. Service was slow, however the food did not take that long - when it arrived we did not get any condiments and we had to get up and find someone to ketchup...which took awhile. Food was average The thunderstorm lasted maybe 15 seconds and they said it happens every 30 minutes. Our table was away from the animals and when I asked if we cold be moved - they said there was no room - which there were a lot of free tables. Won't be back

    The service was horrible. We stay 25 minutes sitting before we even get water that just came after we went to complain. The food did not have a great taste and we order a coke that also did not came until a second complain.

    La nourriture etait vraiment pas de bonne qualite et gout mediocre. On aurait dit des plats surgeles qui ont simplement ete decongeles. Pates avec beaucoup d’eau. Vraiment prix tres chere pour qualite de pietre qualite. Exemple, spaghetti où une canne de pates de tomates ajouter fait guise de sauce environ 30$. De plus, outre voir des animaux mecaniques s’animer aux 15 minutes en bougeant la tete, aucune autre animation. Tres desolant et je ne recommande pas du tout.
