My girlfriend and I got here about 15 minutes before our reservation time. We waited about 5 minutes at the front before someone finally greeted us. The girl who greeted us wasn't particularly friendly and said we'd have to wait until our reservation time since we arrived before it. This didn't make a lot of sense as it wasn't crowded at all and most of the tables were open. We just had to hang out by the bar area for another 10 minutes until our reservation time to finally be seated.Luckily our waiter and the food were great. I got the chicken parmesan, which seemed like one of the most healthy chicken parmesan's I've had at a restaurant. The fresh sauce with chunks of tomato in it was the best part.The open atmosphere with everyone in each other's faces isn't something I really liked, and the greeting/seating process was bizarre, but other than that, not bad.

It was a busy Sunday dinner hour, busy and so accommodating. We chose to sit at the bar, had a cocktail and decided to order dinner. I had the salmon special. It was absolutely delicious. Bartenders were knowledgeable in different food choices. If you're going in for Sunday dinner, make reservations.

Had nice dinner on patio. Bib salad, Chicken Parm & some Butternut pasta dish were great! $25 bottle of wine is a deal, big sucker we took home.Parking: Mall lot so lots of room

I've always liked the food here, and the service has always been top notch, but the ambiance is just not there. The open floor plan where everyone is right there in your face, does nothing for me. There are Linen napkins and table cloths, suggesting fine dining, then family style floor plan subtracts from the experience. It's like posh and cheap are in constant collision with each other.Other than that, a minor disagreement to be sure, this is a great place to eat. The staff are exceptional, the food is great and it's not overly priced.

We really enjoyed our dinner at the macaroni Grill. We enjoyed our server, Bryce, he did a good job taking care of us. Our food was really delicious! Bryce told us some of the recipes had been updated recently. My wife and I both felt our dishes were extremely tasty. We are looking forward to returning for another enjoyable meal.

I brought a group of 6 long time friends for dinner. Our server Stephanie was excellent and attentive. Our food was what we expected. I ordered salmon with asparagus. The asparagus was rather thick and tough, would not recommend it but salmon was tasty. Everyone else ordered pasta dishes and seemed satisfied. Overall we would recommend our dining experience but it was server Stephanie who made the difference with her outstanding service.

It was one of the best Italian foods I ever had. Our server Rhonda was really great and fed us well! I would definitely recommend anyone to visit this place. And if you do visit, make sure you ask for Rhonda as your server.
