One does not come to the Rainforest Café for delicate gourmet fare. One comes because one has one or more children, and because these children demand entertainment in the form of faux thunderstorms, roaring elephants, tropical fish, giant-winged butterflies and plastic tree frogs with their mini burger duos and cups of milk. It’s a fun spot, really, if you avoid the artificially flavored cocktails with flashing lights and stick to the spinach and artichoke dip and chicken chimichangas. Don’t expect to leave without buying a stuffed, thumb-sucking gorilla for Junior or any number of jungle-esque souvenirs. And don’t be surprised when the hostess refers to your dinner as an “adventure” and calls your family a “safari of four.”
