I decided to take the kids to the Falls yesterday just to kill some time...

for dinner we went to the Rain forest Cafe...I asked for the manager as we were waiting. I explained that I have just had surgery (did not say what kind) I explained that there is NO WAY I can eat the size of portions that they offer. Since the weather was warm I could not keep it in the car because it would spoil.. is there any way I can eat off the child's menu?.... I was given the reply of... SURE NO PROBLEM . He gave me his business card and told me to tell the server he had approved it. 

We were seated and the server came over to take our orders I had explained that I spoke to the manager about the kids meal.. He replied Oh that was not necessary I would have done it no problem no sense wasting food if your not going to eat it all. .. then the drink time came.. all they really have is high sugar stuff.. pop or juice... they dont normally keep decaf coffee on after the dinner rush.  He offered to make me a fresh pot though. I asked for a tall glass of ice cubes and explained I was going to make iced coffee.... He did it for me in the back, brought me milk and sweetener to make it to taste.. 

I was so impressed with the service and willingness to help I left him a bid ole fat tip and I plan on writing a letter to management to express my gratitude! 

so the next time you are on Clifton Hill make sure you check out the rain forest cafe its diwn by the bottom of the hill tucked back in an odd little corner 

 Congrats!! How wonderful of them!! I'll definitely keep that place in mind. Ques: what did you have to eat. I find the majority of kids menus are all burgers/fries/crap. I'm impressed they had something other than that on the kids menu. 

 their kids menu is typical... but there is nothing wrong with a burger no bun and grilled veggies and thats exactly what I had.. on the menu it says sauteed veggies.. I asked for them to be grilled and that was not a problem

the burger is 4oz so I only ate half and had about 1/3 of the veggies.. to be honest I only glanced at the adult menu because I knew I would not order off it.. 

I cant do meats that are not gground right now I am still to early out and Guelph does not want us having beef before 6 months (dunno why) but I will have it cause I can tolerate it. but to have a chicken breast or a grilled chicken salad I cant have the chicken unless its been done in a crock pot or ground.. so I am still limited for my selections... 

 Oh ok that makes sense. Ya the no red meat is bc red meat and pork is harder for your body to digest than white meat.... I was in guelph yesterday and was firmly reminded of that :). But  that sounds like a good meal you had. Especially with the grilled veggies. Way to go!!

Thanks for the post. I am visiting Niagara Falls at the end of August so now I know what restaurant to eat at with my son.

Isn't it nice to get good service.

Dee,
Thanks for sharing your positive experience at a restaurant.
I really appreciate it, helpful as I am going to the falls within the next few weeks.

 Awesome 

See???  Thats what I like...service without the Bit...ness.  Glad you had fun in Niagara Falls Dee

 Most chain stores have been great letting me piggy back off my partners plate, Ie; Boston Piza I added a shrimp skewer.  East Side Marios I added a chicken breast then I have taste of his entreee and I am good.  Sometimes I get a starter salad just depends.

That's awesome .... I've had issues with restaurants here in Ottawa, especially 1 chain,  that I dont even bother to ask anymore.  I just order food and take the rest home :(   Glad to hear you had an awesome experience ....

The red meat, it's good to wait.  I had a small chopped up piece of beef 5 wks out and I was in the bathroom for a good 30 mins :(
