Our food was delicious overall. My wife had the chicken marsala and the pasta was cold but the chicken and mushrooms were hot. I had the Pasta Milano and it was terrific! Our server Kyla was great as well. Most of our party thought it was drafty and cool in the restaurant. I was comfortable. The bathroom was a little gross. It looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a couple of days. Overall a good visit and we'd come back.

We were here on a Thursday evening to celebrate my birthday. Party of six. Mistook where the entrance was and had to walk all away around..no big deal, but strange that it isn't clearly marked from where you park to where the entrance is. Reason for this is that the front doors actually face the frontrage road where there is no parking. Once inside, the hostess was pleasant and showed us to our table. For six, 5 medium sized adults and one 9 year old the table did not feel generous in size. A little cramped. No big deal, but I noticed it. Looking over the menu I was disappointed to see that the lamb, which I had several times in both Anaheim Hills, California and St.Louis (both locations no longer in business), is not listed. Ok, fine, it still leaves all the other protein options. Our group chose two appetizers--Fried Calamari and Pan Seared Brussel Sprouts--and as main dishes Pork Tomahawk Chop with Mushroom Risotto, Shrimp Pasta in Garlic Butter Sauce, Grilled Salmon with Brocolli, Truffle Mac and Cheese, Pasta Alfredo with Chicken, and a child's meal with cheese pizza. Everyone enjoyed their meals. The pork chop was seared to perfection and was picture perfect. It had a melted cheese covering which was superfluous, but was easy to remove and set aside to admire the perfect triangular sear. The mushroom risotto was phenomenal. Never tasted one this earthy and rich. Bravo. The Shrimp with angel hair pasta was very good. A tasty dish albeit a tiny bit one-sided. I would like to see halved pearl tomatoes in this to add an extra dimension, i.e. tartness-sour. Waitress Vera was a gem. Added a lot of charm, which was helpful as the restaurant was quite empty for a Thursday evening. We came early, so hopefully folks eat late here and the filled up after we left. Last, I was surprised that despite it being my birthday which was clearly communicated, no token desert with candle was offered. Vera did sing a beautiful rendition of HBD while holding a burning candle in her fingers. A bit sad, really. All in all, please go, they need the business and it is a fun, tasty lunch or dinner option. If we don't support it, it may go the AH or STL route and that would be a loss.

I know it’s tough right now with COVID and being short staffed, but our server Ella made the experience great and she was SUPER!! I give her 5 stars. The food was good. I recommend the Shrimp Portofino which is what I had. The spaghetti and fettuccine were also good. I had a taste of it.

My family and I had a brunch planned here. The server was nice and accommodating, but I didn’t care for the food. The Caesar salad was fine, but the shrimp scampi tasted like tap water. The cannoli was ok. I think this was my first time there and I wont be returning.

The food was very bland. This chain keeps getting worse as far as food is concerned. Went for dinner around 7pm. The restaurant was pretty much empty. The only bright spot was the waitress named Daniela. She was the hostess, bartender, waitress and taking care of to go orders. Also how do you advertise a Happy hour and not have any draft beers? This chain used to be very good at one time now it's worse than Olive garden not that Olive is a good restaurant.

I’m not a huge fan of chain restaurants but I went here for a special occasion with family. The service was fantastic. Our server was attentive, polite, and kind. The food on the other hand…..Meh. Everything tasted like it was once frozen and was flash fried to make it warm. My Butternut Tortellacci was salty, the orzo with the salmon was salty and the Alfredo was bland. The crispy fresh mozzarella tasted like any deep fried mozzarella you get from any dive bar in America. What’s funny is the only thing I did like was the crispy Brussels Sprouts which, I don’t necessarily like Brussels Sprouts but the crispy balsamic was delicious!!!! I can’t believe I’m saying this but I’d prefer Olive Garden.

Food delicious, but overpriced. I ordered a build my own pasta, with fettuccini noodles, alfredo sauce, garlic, broccolini, and tomatoes. My bowl was only sealed on one side, and came with the wrong noodles! It was not full. So I waited for 30 minutes (10 mins on hold) for a tiny bowl of pasta that was not even right.

The service really stunk tonight. Out of lemonade for an Arnold Palmer, entree came out before the appetizer, waited half way through dinner for one of the drinks we ordered, bread delivered after we started our dinner. This restaurant has struggled for a while now. Needs a Manager that knows how to train in organization. High potential restaurant for sure, just needs some support. Drink supposed to have whipped cream - doesn't. Doesn't look much like a Cafe Romano fancy cocktail. It's the little things....

Normally I say good things about places and try to be very honest with my reviews, so here we go. Hadn't been here in sometime and figured I'd give it a shot again. Unfortunately, I now know why I don't come here. Place was completely empty but there was an A rating in the window. How? I ordered the Mama's Trio and I was looking forward to enjoying my $24.50 meal but unluckily found a piece of plastic in my lasagna. My server came by and I mentioned to this to her. She then retrieved the manager on duty, Ramiro. I tried explaining the situation but it seemed he had nothing but excuses. Rather than offer me a refund, he offered to remake my meal. Very disappointing because you now have that uneasy feeling of things being in your meal. I finished the other items on my plate and just took the new lasagna home. I then received my bill and thinking I wouldn't be charged full price or at least a discount, I wasn't. I was charged the full price. Very disappointing and disheartening. I will never return here again.

Been’ there

The food was made very poorly and it was tasteless. I don’t think I can try it again. The ingredients to start with may have been great but the end result had no taste. The pasta I ordered was over cooked and soggy. Then I sent it back and I figured maybe an appetizer would be easier and less complex to make. But I was wrong, it was worse! I let it be at that point, I could not keep sending it back. It was not like I would get an iron chef quality.

This experience was not the norm, I am a huge fan of this restaurant and I am very disappointed with the experience at this restaurant the music was wrong the Lemon drop Martini was not done right the food was not flavorful and the Server said they let staff go so there was no experience of the crayons and the introduction with signing the Table didn’t happen and it was a bad experience because I bragged to my cousin about it and I couldn’t wait til he enjoyed the whole experience and probably will never go back to this location. Here’s a few pictures of what I’m talking about.

We thought we'd give it a try, but never again. The girl on the front desk was kind, we felt bad for her. Our server, Mia, quit before our food came out (over an hour later). It was completely cold. We sent it back, about 15 mins later it came back Luke warm. My wife's steak wasn't cooked. The second serve who came out, Kim was understanding. My issue was the food not the service. We won't be back.

I wish I had checked the reviews before coming here. Honestly, after the experience I had, I'm not sure I will ever visit another Macaroni Grill. Where do I start? My family and I decided to go out for Thanksgiving dinner. We reserved a table for 5, and we got there. Everything was great; they sat us down right away. The place wasn't very busy for being one of the few places open on Thanksgiving night. We ordered some appetizers, and we each ordered a plate. The first red flag we should have known was that it took a very long time to get our food, even the appetizers. Then, when we asked for more bread, they never brought it out. Here's the kicker: one of my boys got the chicken Alfredo and wanted to add shrimp. So when they brought out everyone's food, his plate only had the shrimp. They said they would replace it. My other son had ordered a steak, and he wanted it done medium well, meaning very little to no pink. Well, let's just say this thing still had its legs and was probably walking 2 minutes before it got to our plate. We all finished our food, and my son still had not gotten his pasta. My other child could not eat the steak because it was still bleeding on the plate. When I brought this to the attention of the server, she said, "Oh, I'll let them know," and walked away. It took another 15 minutes to come back with our check, saying, "Here you go." I expected that they would have taken the steak off of the check because my son did not eat it. Instead, she brought us some $10 off coupons for the next time we go. So I told her that I was not going to be paying for the steak that was not cooked properly and the way we asked. She JUST LAUGHED and said she would let her manager know. Then she came back with another receipt but with only ten dollars off a twenty-seven dollar plate that my son couldn't eat. Not only did she just throw the receipt down and say, "Here's the new check," and not even want to talk but walked away, I had to wait another 10 minutes just to tell her I would like to speak to your manager. Then, the manager came out with a smug look on her face. She was very rude and inhospitable when I told her about the situation. She said, "Well, why didn't you tell us as soon as he cut into it? So we could have cooked it more for WHAT??" I've never experienced anything like this ever in my entire life. I've never had such bad service, unbelievable. It's probably the worst ever. But now I understand why this place has such low ratings. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! Don't waste your money, the so-called "Manager." I didn't get her name because it's not worth knowing, and the staff here are incompetent and extremely rude. Even when I paid, the server, Brooke, snatched my credit card from my hand in a very aggressive and rude manner.
