That doesn't sound promising. The one we are leaning toward is Wolfgang Puck's. I have ate at Rainforest and it was fun, but not a huge repeater. We plan to use a wish to eat. (I think most of those are included as a wish option)

Tough choice. I love Wolfgang Pucks, such great pizza. But I'll put my money on the Rainforest Cafe. That "Brave New World" BBQ Chicken Pizza is off the charts.

I take it that Planet Hollywood is a definite no-no. :lol:

Wolfgang's is leading. Any personal experiences there someone would like to share? Oh, and they have more than just good pizza right, I mean the guy is a chef on TV.

There are sandwiches (cold and hot), roasted chicken that you can order either as a half order or full order with sides like mashed potates & mac and cheese, salads, sushi (This is just the express) FYI: Go to the West side Wolfgang's for some reason we like it better than the one in the Marketplace.:slurp:
We like to express because you can sit outside and watch everyone walking by!!

I've been to PH and HoB. HoB was too pricey for the amount of food served, and I think it's too dark for Nick.
I love PH's theme, so I tend to favor it. Also, I suppose it's the one with the most basic menu: burgers, pizza and such. I don't know about pricing, though.

Rain Forest Cafe gets my vote because of the fun atmosphere. We're not real big eaters, and we don't like spending a lot of money on eating out while we're on vacation, so most fancy restaurants don't appeal to us. Planet Hollywood is OK if everyone's in the mood for a big burger; other than that, forget it. The Rain Forest Cafe just has that "vacation" air about it, I guess!

A favorite second choice. We went to the Rainforest Cafe in Burlington, MA last week-end and it gives you a little Disney pick me up!! You can pretend that you are in Downtown Disney!!:)

What?! No McDonalds?

I voted for Planet Hollywood for fun and edible food. My Rainforest Cafe experience was ruined because we sat by the elephants and every few minutes they thing would make the most annoying sounds.

I really enjoyed the House of Blues. The food was really well done.

Planet Hollywood and Rainforest have good food but its the atmosphere that keeps me coming back...
