| - We ate here right after they relocated. Not bad, and it's sort of a tradition to eat on my birthday there, so we went tonight.
We weren't disappointed for a Rainforest. While the menu has been paired back over the years and some favorites are gone, we like the atmosphere. The MGM location was second only to Chicago for me, this new location is sparse and almost desolate and too small. On with the food.
I had the Pastalaya with Caribbean Rice and my wife had a BBQ chicken breast with mushrooms and melted cheese.
The Pastalaya was very good even though the spicy Creole sauce was a little too thick. The andouille sausage was spicy, the chicken and shrimp were tender.
My wife's chicken was tender. The topping was a good with the melted slice of cheese.
All in all, it was what we expected. Too bad that the restaurants at many of the Landry spots have become predictable, less interesting and more formulaic....chicken, ribs, burgers, shrimp, steaks, etc. Change the name and the menus are 90% overlap. Good, basic fare but being back the inspiration which gave us the Rasta Pasta and other signature dishes at the other Landry's places before Landry's bought them.
