                                  EXPECTS
                   COMPLETION OF RAINFOREST TENDER OFFER

      Houston, TX, October 20, 2000 - Landry's Seafood Restaurants, Inc.
(NYSE: LNY) announced today that it believes that all conditions to the
successful completion of its pending tender offer for Rainforest Cafe, Inc.
(NASDAQ: RAIN) will be satisfied by October 27, 2000, subject to Rainforest
shareholders tendering the majority of their shares.

      Rainforest has notified Landry's that all material third party
consents required in connection with the tender offer have been obtained
and, consequently, the third party consent condition has been satisfied.
Landry's also stated that it has voluntarily waived the condition relating
to severance agreements, so that such condition is no longer applicable.

      "Rainforest's shareholders now are in the position of bringing the
tender offer to a successful completion by tendering a majority of
Rainforest's shares. I am confident they will do so," commented Tilman J.
Fertitta, Chairman, President and CEO of Landry's.

      Landry's $3.25 cash tender offer deadline is presently scheduled to
be at 5:00 p.m. (EST) on Friday, October 27, 2000.

      This news release (as well as information included in oral statements
or other written statements made or to be made by Landry's) may contain
forward-looking statements. Actual events or Landry's results may differ
materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements.
Landry's does not expect to update forward-looking statements continually
as conditions change.
