Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Winthrop Harbor

This was an excellent dining experience. Everything from the facility, food and staff were excellent. Our server, Rogelio, was more than a server. He was very knowledgeable about the menu, how it was prepared and the differences between dishes. He explained the background of the business and what makes this a restaurant to frequent. A bit pricey, but aren’t they all right now? The food, service and ambience make it an expenditure worth making.

Initial service was delayed but made up for with a very attentive waiter and our drinks were complementary. Loved the food choices we made.

The evening went well, with good meals, especially the shrimp Alfredo on a board. The two birthday people enjoyed the small birthday desserts

Great decor and a fun experience for people and kids alike! The animatronics move every few minutes and there’s a giant tank arch you walk under. It is loud since they mimic a tropical thunderstorm and the animatronics make noise, so if your plan is a quiet dinner- this is not the place. But if you love to bask in wonderful atmosphere and heavily themed spots, you’ll enjoy. Rainforest Cafe is a delightful concept with yummy food. My personal favorite is surprisingly the Korean Fried Chicken Lettuce Wraps. Delightful gochujang and sweet and sour sauce over perfectly lightly breaded chicken with nuts. We followed it up with one of our favorites Pastalaya which is a buttery cajun delight with a kick! A volcanooooooo is a must for a rainforest cafe (though I am VERY tempted by their limited time Tsunami Cake and have plans to go back to get it). All in all, definitely worth a try at least once!

We celebrated a birthday and the staff was extremely attentive and brought us some slices of cake to share too! We enjoyed sharing apps and main courses- everything was delicious.
