Rainforest Cafe

Awesome place! I’ve been to a handful of area that had one of these and never went in. Finally, I’m Chicago there was one right next to my hotel so I gave it a shot. Extremely cool atmosphere and decor, and if I had kids I would go out of my way to bring them here. Prices were very fair for the area and food was delicious

Good place. Young children may scare during the mock thunderstorm, mine did the first time then adapted. They are every 20mins. Beware there is a store when you walk in before resturant, so be prepared to say no a lot or give in. :) Food was great. Overall, really enjoyed it. The balloon animals are really cool and made for a tip.

Food is great. Service never has disappointed us. The experience is great for kids and adults alike. I love getting alcoholic drinks for the complementary glass after dinner to take home. The only thing I could knock this place for is that you eat upstairs, and I would love to take my mom here but stairs are troublesome for her. The bathrooms are downstairs as well.

I love this place. Super child friendly! Place: The atmosphere and music jives along. The idea of having a jungle inspired restaurant in Chicago downtown is such a genius! The concept unleash the child of me. Touring around makes you realize how beautiful the wildlife animals are! Coz they are actually moving here! Food: Foods are awesome tasty! I forgot the name but I really like it and I’ve got a drink with a souvenir of a pretty parrot. Hehe! Overall, great food offers! Price: Price is moderately high but worth it! Promise! Service: Excellent! The staff is very friendly and helpful. He knows everything in the menu. Also, very accommodating. Parking: Well, parking in Chicago downtown is really a headache.

Fantastic place! Great atmosphere, staff, decor, pretty good food, special experience. I've passed by for years and had no idea it was this good. It's not hype or cheaply made. My 10-year-old nephew says, "It's a great place for kids because they're not too bored or overwhelmed, and the food is very good." My teenage niece says, "It didn't disappoint."

Overall: Come for the atmosphere, stay for the surprisingly good food. Rainforest is a tourism staple that won't disappoint the family. The good: Obviously the atmosphere is over-the-top and fun. You're surrounded by a ton of plants, animals, water, and a variety of noises. The menu is surprisingly large and well varied, which will probably please anyone in a group. The food itself was above my low expectations and came out hot. Service was friendly and the seating was clean. The not-so-good: Expensive. Even if you go bare bones with just the basics (sandwiches, salads, soups), you're looking at ~$15. If you want something more, whether it's apps, a platter, drinks, etc., be prepared to spend $40+ per person. Which, in all honesty, is way too much. Food/Drink: 8/10 Service: 8/10 Atmosphere: 8/10
