                     Landry's Seafood Restaurants, Inc.
                    Announces Final Day to Tender Shares

      HOUSTON, Oct. 27 - Landry's Seafood Restaurants, Inc. (NYSE: LNY).
Tilman J. Fertitta, Chairman, President and CEO of Landry's stated today,
"Shareholders who wish to receive prompt payment for their Rainforest Cafe,
Inc. (Nasdaq: RAIN) shares following the closing of the tender offer need
to tender their shares by today's deadline. Otherwise, Rainforest
shareholders who do not tender their shares are not expected to receive
payment for their shares until completion of the merger in the first
quarter of 2001. We are very encouraged with the response of Rainforest
shareholders to our tender offer. As is typical in tender offers, we expect
a very large number of shares to be tendered today. As of the close of
business yesterday, approximately 7,600,000 shares of Rainforest have been
tendered into our offer, which together with the 1,030,000 shares already
owned by Landry's, represents almost 40% of all outstanding shares."

      Landry's further said it had extended the expiration of its tender
offer for Rainforest Cafe from 5:00 p.m. today until 12:00 midnight (EDT)
tonight. This will give Rainforest shareholders every opportunity to tender
their shares in order that they may promptly receive the merger
consideration in lieu of payment some time during the first quarter of
2001.
