    What a phenomenal dinner! The restaurant was bustling when we arrived, and the host seated us immediately. The service was exceptional, and the food was incredibly fresh, inventive, and delicious, and coursed perfectly. If you love seafood, this must be at the top of your to-do list. We will definitely be back!

    From the start with the Chef”s choice of appetizers, to the salads and the main entree etc. our waitress Danielle (and a few others) gave us a wonderful experience! This was my first time as Mama “not cooking” for Thanksgiving this year, I quietly made reservations here, knowing that my adult children would simply love it here! And they did!!!! I felt very special and will certainly look to returning next Thanksgiving here At Maggiano’s!! ❤️❤️

    The food here is delicious and the portions are large. I have ordered from here many times and will continue to order from here. On the whole, the staff was super friendly. Of note, they do not have Coke products. There was an issue with our order- something forgotten- and one of the staff yelled at another staff member and that was upsetting. The noise level was low except for the same staff that yelled being very loud on the phone.
