Rainforest Cafe

__NOTOC__Rainforest Cafe is a themed restaurant chain owned by Landry's Restaurants, Inc. of Houston, Texas. It was founded by entrepreneur Steven Schussler.

Description

The restaurants are decorated to depict some features of a generic rainforest, including plant growth, mist, waterfalls, robotic animals, and insects. Large marine aquariums are common in most restaurants. Automated water sprinklers and synchronized lights set to specific patterns are also featured. A simulated thunderstorm occurs every thirty minutes, utilizing simulated rain as well as flashing lights and high-powered subwoofers for lightning and thunder. Some of the cafes feature robotic talking animals to give visitors facts about the rainforests. The restaurants are partitioned into several rooms by means of rain curtains that fall into basins running along the tops of partition walls and booths.

Some of the Rainforest Cafe restaurants also have a Retail Village where rainforest themed merchandise is sold.
