    We all enjoyed our meals. My husband ordered the duck breast which was excellent, my son ordered the burger and fries that he thoroughly enjoyed, and I ordered a special which was Frenched Huli Huli Chicken with rice and haricot vert which was amazing. I heartily endorse this restaurant. The wine selections were perfect. Don't turn down dessert. We had creme brulee, bread pudding and pecan tart all of which were perfection. I can also recommend the arancini appetizer which is delicious.

    The food and service is always excellent at Maggiano’s! My parents and I come here every year for a meal together before Christmas, and it never disappoints. Our server was so kind and attentive as well. I also really appreciated that the bar could make any of the cocktails as mocktails since I don’t drink. 100/10 experience, as always. Thank you!

    The service was excellent and very attentive. The food was great but the portion isn’t very large for the price however the quality and taste were incredible. The crafted drinks tasted great. And most of all the music was amazing and set the best ambiance. This is a great date place.
