| - I have been to the Rainforest Cafe quite a few times and also in Florida. The food was always pretty good, a bit pricey but good. The atmosphere is very noisy, but thats a given. Very kid friendly. My husband, 10 month old and myself went there yesterday and our food really wasn't that great. We were greeted nicely and seated pretty quickly, however, we waited for some time before we were finally approached by our server and asked what we wanted to drink. We started with the chili con queso dip and it wasn't anything special, it was good, but it could have used some sprucing up on the flavor. I ordered my little one the pasta with marinara and applesauce and my husband and I ordered the chicken marinara. We waited a long time for our food! First of all let me say the portion for the child pasta was huge!!! Even for an older child!!! I could have eaten it myself and been full!! The pasta was cooked al dente, which honestly I didn't expect, most places over cook the pasta which is good for my daughter as she doesn't have any back teeth yet. I gave her two very small bites then had to return it for a grilled cheese because she kept gagging on the pieces since she couldn't chew them with the pasta being to al dente. The waitress accommodated and even took the pasta off the check, yay!! The grilled cheese took forever to come out, I was questioning how long does it take to make a grilled cheese, be it was good, I tried it myself ;) Our food was ok. The chicken was cooked perfectly but had way to much cheese melted on top for my liking. There were two chicken breasts on the plate, pretty good size, for sure over the recommended daily protein intake. There was a small portion of pasta also. The sauce was kinda blah, tasted a little like jarred sauce and pretty garlicky..and thats saying something because I love garlic!! Our bill was $70.00 with tip and all we ordered were our meals, two drinks, the appetizer and kids meal!!! Way too pricey for low to mediocre food. My daughter really seemed to enjoy the atmosphere and loved the opportunity to be loud, but I don't think we will be back anytime soon.
