    I am honestly baffled by the service I was received! For years, my kids have been begging me to go to rainforest Café because they have heard great thing about it and I was excited to treat myself and my kids to a good time with family fun little did I know I would be receiving none of that. For my little Ella Clair‘s birthday all she wanted to do was go to rainforest Café. Eat some shrimp and get some sparkling lava cake. Yeah none of that was fun or enjoyable. We got there and nobody was there to wait our table for it to even say hi to us we put on the reservation that was my little Ella Clair‘s birthday and nobody even acknowledged that she was alive! We sat down and had to wait at least 30 minutes for our table and once we did finally get somebody to help us out she was not very nice to us.I feel honestly sad for this establishment that they have to deal with this every day not a little eloquent was so excited to get celebrated for her one and only 14th birthday, but when did she know she would be getting no surprise actually she did get a surprise. It was a surprise as a horrible service.

    It was a great experience. The new waiter, Eric, provided good, consistent service. The host or hostess needs to be a little more organized at first.

    We enjoyed a cool lunch with the grandkids, well done on the motion animals. The kids pizza and fry’s were a hit. Only downside is the long walk through the mall to there.

    Place is rundown, dirty, and simply overpriced for the value of the food. Every dish tasted like microwave food.

    Great family fun. Party of 8 seated promptly. Accommodating bringing kids food first while adults enjoy a beverage. Lots of choices from salads to sandwiches, to full entrees.
