The servers were very pleasant despite the chaos. The staff was working very hard, but as others have noted, the service was slow. We were seated near the very cool octopus bar, although we did not choose any alcoholic beverages. The atmosphere is very exciting–if you don’t have a kid with special needs who is so frightened by the dinosaurs roaring that his dad had to take him to the restroom to decompress. We ate there a month after it opened with some friends.

The Sequoia Room is the home of a Triceratops and its infant, along with a 2,000-gallon fish tank. The Ice Age Room, for example, resurrects the woolly mammoth, complete with baby and (machine-made) snow. The restaurant is divided into several separate, distinctive dining rooms, each with its own theme and animatronic dinosaurs. Lava rock, greenery and lighting effects combine to transport visitors into a time long ago.

In addition, when guests enter T-REX, they’ll be greeted by a giant animatronic octopus sitting on top of the Shark Bar motioning guests in for a specialty drink and a view of a 5,000-gallon shark tank. There is also a 125 foot long replica of the Argentinosaurus, which is not only the largest dinosaur, but quite possibly also the largest and heaviest animal to ever walk the earth. T-REX greets visitors with a skeletal version of the Tyrannosaurus Rex outside and, an animatronic version just inside the front door. Guests visiting T-REX are greeted with life-sized animatronic dinosaurs, bubbling geysers, a fossil dig site and much more, taking them back to a time before humans walked the earth. The concept is built around water, fire and ice. A Prehistoric Family Adventure™, A Place to Eat, Shop, Explore and Discover™ is a unique attraction that features dining and retail in an interactive prehistoric environment.
