| - First and foremost, for all the people saying this place is "Great for kids" and "Definitely a kid friendly environment" I have to completely DISAGREE with those statements.
Everything looks as if it would be kid friendly, the moving animals, the talking tree, pretty fish tanks, shooting star sky, monkeys swinging from trees, etc. NO. NO NO NO NO NO. Do NOT bring your kids here. I don't know how many times i've been here, but every time someone brings their kids here, they let their kids walk around the whole restaurant because their kid can't sit still. I also don't know what the waiters/tresses are thinking putting people with kids next to the aquarium, banging on the glass like that. For the parents who let their kids slam their head against the glass, SHAME ON YOU. Shame shame!
Also, out of the many kids that do come to this place (let's say we have 10 kids in the restaurant as we speak) at least 2 of them sit there and stare in Awe, when the lightning/thunderstorm goes off, while the other 8 cry their heads off. Sure, loud noises tend to make kids cry, it's a natural reaction. How can we fix this problem? Don't bring kids to this restaurant! Plain and simple.
However, if you are a couple of love birds, or just want to go somewhere cute with your husband/wife boyfriend/girlfriend, this place is great to go when it's not so crowded. I personally LOVE the atmosphere, and everything about it.
What I don't love is the high prices. As someone else said, how they get away with these prices is beyond me...If my fiance' and I went with just ourselves (2 people) and got 1 meal each and a drink, it would most likely come out to about 40 bucks. Basically, 20 dollars a plate if you want to round it up.
One time we went, and we ordered an appetizer and it (no joke) took us about an hour to get the appetizer. Our food got cooked before the appetizers were done. This kind of ticked us off, however, the lady was really, really nice and talked to the manager, and he told her to waive the price of the appetizer off the bill. She explained to us and kept apologizing, saying that they had so many people and not enough cooks that day so they were taking it off the bill since we didn't get to eat the appetizer before the meal. We gave her an extra tip for being such a nice lady and doing that.
Even after me complaining about little bratty children and their "i just don't care" parents, I have to say this place is such a wonderful place to go to if you just want to order a drink and enjoy a fake Thunderstorm. I'm sure the waiters and waitresses probably get mad at us, but everytime my fiance, my friend and I visit The Arizona Mills Mall, we have to stop in at the rainforest cafe to order an ice tea, just so we can sit and chat and listen to the thunderstorm. Luckily for us, we usually get seated right under the sky. My favorite part of the whole Restaurant.
OH, and one more thing. If they ever try seating you in one of the booths in the back that are big and rounded, don't do it if you're a bigger built person. You will have a hard time squeezing in, an uncomfortable meal, and a hard time getting out. I'm not a big girl, and it was even somewhat snug for me to sit back in those booths. I could only imagine how someone bigger than me would feel. Definitely need to make the booths have more room.
4/5 stars, If there weren't so many kids at this place, I'd have given it a 10 if I could. Crying kids with parents who don't care about their crying kids tend to always ruin restaurant atmosphere, peace, and tranquility for me.
