Rainforest Cafe
Our verdict
Casual, easy to book, and built for families, Rainforest Cafe is worth choosing when the River Walk location and jungle-themed room are part of the occasion. Expect broad American chain-restaurant cooking, a loud sensory environment, casual dress, and roughly $20 per person rather than chef-driven dining.
