Best Casual Restaurants in Winthrop Harbor

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!

The waitress was attentive. The food was excellent probably the best steak I’ve had in a long time.  is it is pricey, but you’re going to pay for quality.

The service was great and the atmosphere was good. Love the bag of homemade chips instead of bread! One suggestion is to add and identify dietary restrictions options to the menu (e.g. gluten free, vegan).
