Rate the following (1-5, five being the best!)
Food: 5
Service: 5 - As soon as the waiter found out we had someone in our party
with a food allergy, he immediately brought out the chef to discuss their
options for this meal.
Atmosphere: 5
Okay for Children: Definitely - I think this place is mostly geared towards
children.
Okay for Couples: Yes, as long as you don't mind the noise.
Be Sure to Try: The Tuscan Chicken and the Pot Roast were both excellent.
General tips: Definitely call to make reservations as soon as you can. I
called in July for the reservation, otherwise we would've had to wait until
9:45 to be seated and we arrived at 7:00. Using the Safari Club card will also
get you seated earlier if you don't make reservations.
TheMouseForLess tips: Definitely join MyPoints if you plan on eating here. I
had $100 worth of gift cards I had earned from MyPoints, and a $5 Rainforest
coupon I'd received in the mail. We ended up paying around $70 for this meal
for 8 people.
Extra Comments: I would recommend joining the Safari Club if you're eating
at RFC. We joined about 4 years ago, and have gotten much more out of it than
the $15 it cost to join at the time.

Okay for Children: Yes, but be aware that during your meal, you will
experience the reaction of the animals during a volcanic eruption. It is
loud, the animals are all making noises, and small children may be very
frightened.
Okay for Couples: Yes, but it won't be quiet!
Be Sure to Try: The Awesome Appetizer Adventure was a big hit at our table.
We arrived here at the restaurant at about 3 in the afternoon without the
benefit of breakfast or lunch (busy morning with ill children), and we were
going to try a few different appetizers. This platter gives you a good
sampling, everything was yummy, and for 4 really hungry people and an
infant, this did a good job filling us up!
General tips: We had absolutely no wait when we went, but as it got closer
to dinner time, the place filled up quickly. I would say eat at really off
hours to take advantage of the shorter wait time.
TheMouseForLess tips: The portions here are huge, and none of us finished all of our meal. We could have easily ordered only one or two entrees and split
them - especially after ordering the appetizer
Extra Comments: The kids enjoyed wandering the shop after the meal, but the
real highlight here was our waitress. When I asked for a spoon to feed the
baby, she actually brought me 4 different sized spoons so I could find one
that was comfortable for the baby!! She was attentive, sociable, friendly,
and interacted with the kids to make them feel comfortable.
