Rainforest Cafe

This is a very unique restaurant. In essence when you come here, you are paying for the experience, not necessarily the food. It is quite expensive if you only judge it based on what you eat. The experience is unlike any other restaurant, so if you like that kind of thing this is a pretty cool place. The food itself was decent and the staff were helpful and pleasant, but don't expect a cheap meal here.

We visited on a very busy Saturday afternoon and the line for entry was way out of the door. However they have a very efficient process for seating so the wait was surprisingly short. This is focused on the Kids and the Menu is not spectacular but still quite varied, you should be able to find something that satisfies you. I chose one of the Pasta dishes and was quite pleased. Service was prompt and courteous even though the place was packed. Our meals were out in a very reasonable amount of time and all were exactly as ordered. Prices are another story, quite steep for the dishes offered, but not unexpected given the prime location at the foot of Clifton Hill. I can only imagine the overhead costs for that location. Overall I expect much more satisfying for the Kids than adults, but still worth the visit.

We were sat almost right away which was great. We then waited 20 minutes for a server to come to out table. Not great. We then waited another 10 minutes for our drinks. We ordered drinks and dessert. The dessert looked better than it tasted. Which we waited over 20 minutes for and was served with no spoons. The whole experience was frustrating. Most drinks were not available along with the souvenir cups. Totally not worth the time, money or frustration. Was on Vacation so will never be back. But sorry to say I can not recommend it. Was hoping for a better experience.

Welcoming staff, and great place to visit with family. Specially with kids! They will love the animals moving and making sound! Attention for the storm weather and special effects! The food is also really good, however, it could be a bit cheaper. But I know this is a touristy place and we’ll, it’s more expensive… anyway, go and enjoy!

This place is a great place to go with kids. It has a wonderful atmosphere, with a huge amount of work going to decorating the place. Don't go here if you're in a rush as things will take time. This is a place to come to relax and enjoy the atmosphere. We found the food here is quite good and enjoyed our meals. It is a bit more expensive, but that is to be expected as this would not be a cheap place to run. Well worth going to for an enjoyable lunch experience with kids. If you have kids that are afraid of thunder, you might want to think about that as they are regular thunder storms.

Great for special occasions for kids. They sang a birthday song and offered free ice cream for the birthday kid. Kids will love the moving animals and the occasional thunderstorm effect. The person helping us offered great service. Food was just ok but u guess people are mostly just there for the ambience. Kid-friendliness: They mimic a rain storm every few minutes. Some kids will love, but younger ones might be afraid?

Seated pretty quickly but server didn't come by for at least 10 minutes I was about to leave then she came by. Regular soda was 6-7 dollars I don't remember. Fish and chips was great. Food came out about 1/2 hour after sitting down...kinda slow Over all food was great, price was high $103 cad for fish and chips and shrimp tacos...2 fountain soda drinks+ tip... food came out slow and service was ok...would give it an extra star if server didn't take 10 min to greet me. The table next time mine was very quick got their drinks within 5 min

Definitely super fun the first time you go or with kids. Otherwise, it looses its magic. And it's quite pricey though decent food. For reference, I had the Calypso salad $27.99 and kids had the kids menu cheeseburger and chicken fingers. Though portions appear small, it was enough for us.

It is more than a restaurant, it is an experience! Kids menu is healthier than other restaurants in general, adults food is default. A bit expensive, but I think the experience with the kids justify the price. The place is beautiful. So many details, when the storm starts some realistic animals start to make some movements and sounds. Definitely it is a place you have to go with your kiddos at least once.

Very cool theme and the details are impeccable! The service is great too but you’re not coming here for the food. We spent $100 on a veggie burger that came with cold fries and an “asian” salad that was a kit salad at best I would’ve been really upset about this if our server wasn’t so amazing and if the atmosphere wasn’t so great! Very cool combination of animatronics and interesting fish in the fish tank! Wish I were a kid, I would’ve had a blast and a half
