Take a tropical vacation to the Rainforest Cafe and indulge in creative cuisine in an exotic setting that includes an indoor rain forest, cascading waterfalls, a fiber-optic starscape, live birds and giant aquariums. The menu features appetizers, sandwiches, salads and entrees with a Caribbean flair, and a list of fruit drinks that can be made with or without spirits. Signature entrees include the Cedar Wood Selections, a choice of farm-raised Atlantic Salmon Fillet or Jumbo Black Tiger Shrimp seared on a cedar plank and served with red-skinned garlic mashed potatoes and braised Napa vegetable slaw. Chicken, beef and vegetarian selections are also listed, as well as a brownie cake called a Giant Chocolate Volcano and the traditional Key Lime Pie. Specialty drinks like the JamaicaRita, the Lizard King Colada and Panama Punch are a few ways to compliment an adventurous dining experience. -- Heather Johnson

    The best time to go is during the week when it's not that busy. The service is wonderful and the food even better. Everybody has to go there at least one time during their life. This place gets an A+ from me!!!

  • Good...maybe as a RIDE at Disney Land!

    We have been to twice. The first time we went it was as a family. It was loud, sometimes painfully so, and the kids wre scared out of their minds. The "thunderstorms" were nice, but I can't help wonder what kind of mold problem they have with all that water. Whatever you do, don't sit by the gorillas. They are the most obnoxious of all the animals. The meals were just average, but the price was through the roof. The second time we went it was with a group party that started before the restaurant actually opened. They served a family style buffet and it was actually pretty good. Since we were the only group in there for a while it wasn't crowded and the service was good (But all the servers really had to do was fill drinks since the meal was already determined and carried out on huge plates). The Rain Forest would be a great RIDE or walk through creation, but to EAT there was over the top. Overall rating C+

    This place maybe great for a certain age of children but it was so noisy that we could not even hear each other talk across the table. So if our friends said the food was okay. But my meal, which was one of the most expensive was a disaster..meat was dried out and some of it was cold. Service was hap-hazard at best. It was pretty though..but never again!!

  • Very nice

    I think yes it may be a little high but you get soooo much food and it's an eating experience like no other. If you are a member there are a lot of benifits to that.

  • WAY TOO HIGH

    Review rating : 1out of 5   simms126 - 06/22/2003

    OUR EXPERIENCE WAS NOT A VERY GOOD ONE. AFTER A 2 HOUR WAIT WE WERE FINALLY CALLED AND THEN HAD TO WAIT ANOTHER 30 MINUTES TO ACTUALLY BE SEATED. THE ATMOSPHERE WAS FUN ALTHOUGH IT SCARED MY 2 YEAR OLD. THE FOOD WAS EXTREMELY HIGH FOR THE QUALITY. THE SERVICE WAS ONLY FAIR AND A %17 TIP WAS ALREADY ADDED TO THE BILL. NEEDLESS TO SAY IT IS OKAY TO GO ONCE BUT THIS FAMILY WILL NEVER BE THERE AGAIN.

  • Wonderful, entertaining, delicious!

    If you are in the Nashville area, a visit to this restaurant is a must, especially if you have kids. The prices are a little on the high side, but portions are generous, so splitting an adult entree is a good idea. Everything I've eaten there has been wonderful, and there is a huge variety of foods, from the ordinary to the unusual. The decor is amazing, and the elephants and gorillas move with appropriate sound effects. One word of warning--make a reservation, especially for dinner, and especially during the summer vacation months. On a busy night, WITH a reservation, you may be waiting for 30 min. before being seated. Without a reservation, the wait could easily be 2 hours. And if you're like me, waiting around for even 30 min. with hungry children isn't at all appealing. There is a great gift shop to browse around in, though, if you can squeeze around through the other people waiting to be seated. The service is pretty good, but if there is a big crowd, don't be in a hurry to eat and get out of there.
