i was there last week and they had a hashgacha. See photo.
As for the rain. I don't think you should worry about that, when I went they also said rain everyday, we barley had any rain.
I love it!
We had such a good meal there in February, and it was dirt cheap. My girls will be thrilled.
Now if I could only find the fleishik place that mgoldhammer18 went to....
And thanks for the optimism about the weather.
