How might one describe the sentiment of this review?
I had very low expectations for this place, but went because I thought my 3 & 5-year-old kids would enjoy it and because it was convenient to our hotel. We had made reservations the same day and were seated about 5-minutes after our arrival. Although the rainforest-themed decor is basically enjoyable and did pique my kids interest, it was really only good for about ten minutes of fun. The kids food menu is completely uninspired and woefully over-priced ($10 for plain pasta and a cup of milk). The grown-up food was similarly expensive and dull. The taste and quality of everything was a step up from a fast food chain, but just barely. My pasta dish had definitely spent a bit of time under a heat lamp before being served. Portion size was on the small side, although I didn't like what I was eating enough to be bothered by this, Perhaps most annoying was the fact that the waiter tried to up-sell us on just about everything ("Are you sure you don't want an appetizer?", "How about a bottle of wine instead of a glass?" and then later "I'm really surprised you didn't just order a bottle."). That said, the service was attentive. On my way out there were two things I couldn't figure out: 1) Why would anyone without kids ever consider eating here?, 2) Even with kids, why would you stand in an hour-plus line of walk-ins waiting for a table? All in all, even with kids, I would not recommend this place....OPT: i. negative; ii. positive; I think the answer is
