    We were a party of 6 adults and 4 children under 10. The service was warm, and efficient. Children were served quickly and given colouring pencils and picture to occupy them. Food was fresh and tasty and interesting.

    It’s a beautiful restaurant with a relaxing outlook. Loved the pork tacos and steak. Staff were great, especially with a new menu. I ordered the pork cutlet and didn’t enjoy the flavouring on it. Special mention to Richard who handled everything seamlessly and replaced my meal. The bar doesn’t open till 5pm but we were very impressed with one of the ladies came over to us at 2.30pm and made me a wonderful espresso martini.

    Thanks so much for your kind words! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the pork tacos and steak, and that Richard took such good care of you. I’m sorry to hear the pork cutlet wasn’t to your liking, but I’m glad we could make things right. I’ll be sure to pass on your compliments to Richard and the lady who made your espresso martini! We’re always working to enhance our guest experience, and feedback like yours helps us a lot. Hope to see you back soon!

    Food was very nice. priced fair I guess. Service was a bit poor, waited a solid 20 minutes for our drinks which isn't smart from a business point of view. The eye fillet was cooked perfect and the outdoor dining area is beautiful.
    Rainforest RestaurantResponded on 9 September 2024
    Thank you for your feedback! I’m pleased you enjoyed the eye fillet and the outdoor dining area. I apologise for the delay with your drinks; the high volume of walk-ins that day impacted our service times. While this isn’t an excuse, I wanted to provide some context. We’re actively working to enhance the experience for all our guests. We appreciate your comments on the food and pricing and hope to offer you a smoother experience on your next visit.

    Our family reunion group of 10 + dog were well looked after in a nicely heated enclave just outside the restaurant dining room. Food was quite good too

    Limited menu. Nice environment. Service OK. An ok option for lunch after a walk but nothing to rave about.

    Very slow service. Had 3 waitresses/ 2 of which were nice the other…. Not so much and no knowledge of what a piece of lemon in a Corona meant. Another waitress came back with 3 Shandys of corona made with lemon soft drink. They were sent back and what we asked for was sent. Just noticed unfortunately after we left that we were charged for the incorrect ones. Will be calling them. Food average- not sure how you can mess up a garden salad but my vegetarian daughter ordered one and the lettuce was old and limp and tomatoes old as well. She sent it back and did not want another one. This was taken off the bill. Fries $16.00!!! All in all - very disappointed.
    Rainforest RestaurantResponded on 24 May 2024
    We're deeply sorry to hear about your disappointing experience at our restaurant. Upon investigating further, we are unable to comment on the garden salad as three quarters of it was already eaten before it came back. We apologise about the confusion with the Shandys. There are a few ways of making those including the traditional British one being a mixture of beer and lemon soda. As for the fries, these are $14 (please note we have an industry standard surcharge of 10% on Sundays, which brings the fries to $15.40). Please do not hesitate to reach out to us directly so we can further address your concerns.
