The lobby and restaurant both have wonderful atmospheres with all of the animated animals etc, and the service was fine but the food was well below average. Our wait was about 15 minutes but it flew by while we shopped and made pictures. Our waiter always kept our glasses full and our food was brought out quick but you could... more

Went to Rainforest Cafe on a Saturday. Had about a 5-10 minute wait. Atmosphere is nice for the kids. I was really disappointed in the food and the service. I think the food was overpriced for what you get and the quality of it. Service was slow. When our dishes were brought out, one of the servers dropped my sons... more

We had dinner at the Rain Forest Cafe on the evening of 3/28/05. Our reservations were for 7:30; we were seated at 8:00+. We ordered soon thereafter, and were served our mediocre food over an hour later. When my daughter was served the 3 mini-burger kid's meal, we requested Ranch Dressing to go with her french fries; she completed her... more

I had heard good things about the Rainforest Cafe, especially for kids, and looked forward to visiting when we arrived in San Francisco for my daughter's birthday. I had the usual expectations for a theme restaurant - great atmosphere, mediocre food. However, we were pleasantly surprised by how very good the food was. I had a crab and snapper combo... more
