    Nachos
    Joelle C.

    Love the ambiance because of the jungle theme. A little dark but it was ok. The booth was spacious. Of all the food we ordered the nachos was my favorite. That was what I imagined a nacho would be like. The salad was good too but not the best but good enough. The pasta dish was like jambalaya except instead of rice it was noodles. It was a little bit spicy but good enough. They came to our table and took picture of us. $30 for one picture with picture frame or two for $50 or you can just buy the picture for $10 each. Service was pretty good.

    Family and friends visiting in town. We went to a rainforest cafe based on a concert that some of the visitors were going to see "5 seconds of summer" aka 5 sauce at PH. It took so long to get our waitress we had to ask somebody to go fetch her. Fun place but not as lush as it was when it was at the MGM. The menu is great for visitors with a free glass to take home with you and refills for 10 bucks each that all pack a punch. I went with the bbq burger with fries that was not great but solid. Once our entrees were served by some kitchen staff, the waitress did not come back at that time to make sure everything was OK and if we needed anything else. Two of the five of us were already ready for a refill and it took about 10 - 15 minutes before she showed back up... Ultimately loss to the restaurant for alcohol sales because we would've had a third round if there was someone refilling drinks. We had a birthday celebration with the staff singing happy birthday. A step down from the old space but still a fun little spot. Once you finish, they give you a receipt and you go downstairs to get your actual to go glasses brand new without residue of alcohol or wetness. They officially are just outside of the miracle mile, but you can park in the miracle mile parking lot to get there just fine. And of course, if you have young ones, they will love everything that's going on. If it wasn't for the ambience, I would've given three out of five for the big gaps in service.

    Huge burger!

    First time here! I tried to make a reservation but it would let me on their site so I walked up and had a party of 9. I was told there was a party of 103 upstairs and there would be a 15 minute wait. Our safari guide(waitress) Lisa was a 10! She was patient sweet and excellent waitress! The food was good no complaints.

    I came here not long before closing and they were still so sweet and accommodating to my kids and I. The decor I mean nothing beats it - such an experience! From the little storms throughout dinner to just the overall vibe wow. I had thought the food would be just okay bc of how overdone the decor is honestly but I was pleasantly surprised. My steak and coconut shrimp were PERFECT. My mash was great. My espresso martini was great. Everything was phenomenal. Would def go back!

    One of the few remaining Rainforest Cafes. Lot of fun memories as a kid, now passing those onto mine. The decor is definitely outdated but it still works and still brings the rainforest to life. Fun atmosphere for the kids. Staff were great, food is slightly on the salty side especially for the steak. Overall great experience and would highly recommend if you have kids!

    Rainforest Cafe is one of my favorite family-style restaurants to visit. The atmosphere is so unique and lively with all the animatronics and thunderstorms. The servers were so friendly and attentive, but our experience was disturbed by a group of drunk youngsters who kept shouting, standing up, and walking around the dining area, which also disturbed the other diners and workers. The food was alright, but I think this was probably the blandest burger I've ever had in my entire life. Experience and service is 5/5, but the food is 1.5/5. Regardless, I'd still come back just for the experience!

    Volcano! Love the new rock candy rocks

    First time at the Vegas location. We had reservation for 9 and it all went well especially for a Saturday night. We arrived early and they were able to seat us earlier. Everyone enjoyed their food and the service was good. Little weak on the volcano yell but it was a Father's Day celebration and not a birthday like the new set up of the volcano but still miss the real sparklers but obviously get that they need to be cautious. The food portions are still big and filling. Some of the animals are looking worn out. We had fun and the only down side is the parking it's sort of crazy to try to find the locator walking Through the mall then back outside and up the elevator back in a door and then to the restaurant area. There is a location on Harmon across the street as well but it's a hot walk in the heat.

    We stopped here to give the kids the real Rainforest Cafe experience. With all the Cafe's near us closed we found our vegas trip to be the perfect opportunity to take the kids. Listen, you come here for the experience- the food is good, not spectacular, not bad by any means. The decor, ambiance and occasional thunderstorm are what make Rainforest Cafe the fun it is. I ordered the Bimini Chicken Sandwich, which I found really enjoyable although I wouldn't be mad at more Hot Honey on the sandwich. As for service, our server Danger Dom was great, he was attentive, clear and didn't miss any of our needs. He delivered fantastic service. When it came time for the bill the manager came and explained the automatic gratuity, which I appreciated because I'm sure a lot of out-of-towners could be surprised by it. For clarity, parties of 8 or more will have an 18% gratuity added to their bill. No big deal for us and perfectly reasonable. the dining room and restrooms were clean, food was good, service was excellent. If you have small children/toddlers I would give them a heads up of the "thunderstorms" that feature darkened lights, bright flashes and sounds of thunder and animals that could be surprising for them.

    BIMINI CHICKEN

    Grown daughters wanted to go because of nostalgia. It's still the same inside-if not a little tired looking. Food is mediocre at best. Had a stomachache all night afterwards. I had the Bimini Chicken:(Caribbean fried chicken, hot honey sauce, island rice, seasonal vegetables, coconut curry tropical slaw) Chicken was okay, slaw didn't have much flavor. I was told the drinks were good, I had soda. Would I go back? No. But fun for a one time reminiscing thing of when we had one in Downtown Disney. Service was fine.

    Kids fettuccine Alfredo

    We came for Easter Monday dinner with my family and in-laws after a day of walking around the strip, Circus Circus (for the games and midway), NY NY, and the Excalibur. During our multiple excursions, I had mentioned to my wife and kids on Easter night that there was a Rainforest Cafe nearby. My older ones were too young to remember the Rainforest Cafe at Downtown Disney (which has since been closed for many years), so this was a treat for them. So, when I wasn't paying attention, she booked a reservation. She quickly hurried us up at the Excalibur to get back to our car at NY NY when she told us about our reservation. We made it to the restaurant with about 30 minutes to spare, so we did some shopping at their gift shop. There were animatronic figures downstairs and when we moved upstairs to the seating area, there were even more. It was great when the "sky" turned dark and the thunder clapped and the animals all came to life! My little one was amazed. We got seated, all 8 of us, and our "guide," Safari Steve, told me that with our large party there was an automatic 18% gratuity which I had no choice but to agree to. Steve, however, was just excellent! I forgot about the gratuity and just focused on his recommendations and interactions with my kids and family. It was close to closing time but he had the same enthusiasm as if it were opening. I asked if tonight was a slow night and he emphatically said that "every night is a busy night..." Our drinks got served quickly and we ordered the Awesome Appetizer Adventure appetizer sampler. The day's activities must've taken a toll because the whole platter was demolished in about 10 minutes, which was enough to get us settled (my little one was getting hangry (just like his mom, shhhhh)) until our main entrees arrived. My wife ordered the Chile Lime Salmon and Shrimp which, by both our account and Steve's, was their best dish. It really was good and I will order this next time. I got the Taste of the Islands which came with two types of shrimp, tilapia, rice and veggies. It was a good second choice, but the Salmon was better. I debated between it and the pork chops. Luckily, my father-in-law ordered the chops, so I got to sample it. It was good and flavorful, but a little dry. Even Steve warned me that chops tend to get dry, no matter who cooks it. My mother-in-law and stepdaughter both got the fish and chips. The portions were huge so both couldn't finish their plates. In retrospect, they would've gotten something else. (My mother-in-law really wanted the ribs, so guess she should've gone with her gut (pun intended)...). My oldest boy got the club sandwich which Steve thought might be too big for him. But, being the competitive 12 year old that he is, he devoured it (was this reverse psychology???). My other boys got the cheeseburger, delish as he said, and the fettuccine Alfredo (my middle son said he wanted 3 more plates it was that good!), respectively. It was a night of fun, good food, good company, family and a wonderful server/guide named Steve. Sure, it's Vegas and you're going to spend no matter what. But when my wife asked what was the best part of our Easter vacation, I had to admit, it was the Rainforest Cafe. And I'd admit it, over and over again...

    Jungle steak and shrimp

    We came here on Father's Day and we had a great experience! My parents have been wanting to take our 3 year old son to Rainforest cafe for a while so we decided that going last Sunday would be the best time to take him. We were immediately greeted by the friendly host who saw our son super excited to see all of the animals come to life. He immediately seated us near the elephants which our son loved so much. He was a little taken aback when the thunderstorm occurred but still enjoyed it. Our server was Ronnee and she was nice and attentive. She always came to our table frequently to check on us and fill our glasses. Our food came out hot and delicious. I do agree with the other yelp reviews that although the food is good... our intention was more for the experience since it was our son's first time here. One of the downfalls about the location of the restaurant (which it isn't the restaurant's fault) is that this place is on the second floor and confusing to get to. It's quite a walk from the parking garage at miracle mile shops, which parking is free for the first hour and then you're charged after that. When we walked through the mall and stepped outside to the strip, we found out the escalators to the restaurant were closed off and out of service. There was no access to an elevator either. My parents have bad knees so we had to find out how to get up to the second floor. It was not ADA friendly at all. Thankfully, we came across a very nice security guard who let us use the service elevator for my parents to get to the second floor with ease. Overall, we had a great time at Rainforest cafe. It was definitely nostalgic for me since I remember going to rainforest cafe when I was a kid. I was happy to share the same experience with our son.

    Steak and shrimp
    Bill P.

    This was my first time at rainforest cafe and I gotta say it was a pretty pleasant experience. There were animatronics scattered all throughout the restaurant and they were lowkey a bit creepy looking, but it was still cool to see. Every now and then the lights dim and flash and they make rainstorm noises which i thought was pretty entertaining. I ordered a steak and it was actually very good, was tender and juicy. My friend had shrimp pasta and he said it was the best shrimp pasta he's ever had. Take it with a grain of salt though cuz he rarely ever leaves the house. Our server was pretty nice and someone even comes to your table to take a picture. They give you a freebie with a keychain after. Definitely a nice touch.

    Abriana B.

    I would give this place 3.5 stars if I could! The ambience is obviously 10/10, its fun inside, they have a great patio looking the strip. Service was good! Our server was super nice, and very attentive. The drinks did take exceptionally long but that was not his fault. Food overall was so/so. I think the food was extremely overpriced for what it was. It did not come out super hot. The chicken was dry, lack of sauce on the pasta. Nothing really blew us away. That being said, I know people arent necessarily coming here for amazing food it is more about the experience which is why I would give it 3.5 stars.

At first glance you can mistaken it for just a ramen small front restaurant. We had a party of 5 and we had several waiters tend to us. They asked for allergies , wrote down notes and really took their time to explain the menu. Our server even brought out the Soto Sake for us because he overheard us saying we were celebrating 2 birthdays. The sake shots were easy to drink and tasted so smooth! It was my first time trying it. Now for the most important , Food!! It was great. We had several appetizers and I loved the cucumbers and my favorite was the shishito peppers!! Amazing ! Walnut Lobster + Shrimp - the lobster was delicious but I would say the shrimp was a little salty for me and I love salty foods so that says alot . For the price we paid for this dish , over $200, I wish the shrimp wasn't as salty. It's definitely worth to try it once but it probably wouldn't be a dish I'd get again If that makes sense. Otherwise I would have easily given 5 stars if the shrimp wasn't salty. The miso ramen was so flavorful and delicious!! If you are eating family style where you share everything , this bowl can feed 3 people with the small bowls. This is a must!!! The steak , mushroom ramen, brussel sprouts, beef fat fries were also amazing! Be prepared to be spend $$$$ here!
