The hostess was not attentive at all and had a snooty attitude. The food was ok, but not cooked well through. The dessert was great, but I couldnt get past the bad hostess. ...

Romantic, its NOT! 11/11/2002

Romantic, its not! The location and drive up to the Lodge looks promising. But that's where the romance ends. Unless you are sitting a a specific table called "the Landing" your conversation is your neighbors conversation. The tables are crammed very close to each other. The wait staff struggles not to bump into your table while serving another. Next, there's no dress code whatsoever. There were several guests in blue jeans, boots and very casual shirts. Furthermore, there were NUMEROUS guests having conversations on their MOBILE PHONES. There was even one guest using his Nextel speaker phone!!! As a result, the Rainbow Lodge is very noisy. Pros: Food, Location Cons: Casual Atmosphere, No Dress Code, Cell Phones more

On the plus side, the food is very good. The Rainbow Lodge should be touted as a Business Power Dinner/Lunch Restaurant, but NOT a romantic place for a special night out.

Love the Lodge 10/27/2002

We celebrate our birthdays at Rainbow Lodge and always have a wonderful time. The food is exceptional and the ambience is like no other. For the ultimate romantic dining experience, the spot to sit is upstairs at the window. (they will know wich table it is if you ask for it!) more

The Best! 8/17/2002

There is not another restaurant in Houston with the combination of great food and perfect atmosphere. This place has it all. And if you're in the market for a fabulous Sunday brunch, there is none better than the Rainbow Lodge! more
