| - Celebrated our anniversary at Maggiano's in Summerlin. We've been to the Fashion Show mall location many times. Fashion Show decor is very elegant where Summerlin decor is modern and more casual. The food is excellent at both locations. We were seated and a Happy Anniversary card signed by staff on the back, was prominently placed on our table - presumably for the servers and others to see. It is more than a card, however; when you take it back on your next visit, you may have a complimentary dessert. While that is a gimmick to get you back, I'll take it! The food is great and I rarely order dessert when eating out. The two desserts we had were fabulous!
Our server, Maggie, was fabulous. She greeted us right away and showed the new menu with the pull out specials. Later, the manager also greeted us and wished us a Happy Anniversary as well. Maggie was very friendly and pleasant with great suggestions for us including my vegetarian diet. I love gnocchi and had seen an email with May specials including a pesto gnocchi dish. I am vegetarian and Maggie knew the broth was a chicken-base and asked the chef if it could be made vegetarian. The chef even came out to verify what I could and could not eat as a vegetarian and said he would be making a parmesan broth. The dish was delicious!
Maggie made several suggestions for us as we considered trying the bruschetta. We ordered two bruschetta each (pear and strawberry) from the bruschetta bar - both were yummy. We ordered the $42 special with salad, dinner, dessert to share and our entrees included the take another dish home and we each ordered my favorite eggplant parmigiana. Maggiano's makes the best eggplant parmigiana ever and it is usually what I order - but this time I couldn't resist the gnocchi. For our dessert we shared the limoncello tiramisu - which was heavenly - just the right amount of lemon and very light and fluffy. Maggie also brought lemon cookies for our anniversary dessert with a chocolate Happy Anniversary written on the plate. They were perfect too! Very lemony and soft with a slight crust on them.
In the past, our anniversary or birthday dinners at the Fashion Show location were never noted by the staff - even though they ask when we book the reservation. I think we had our picture taken once - but it was some ridiculous amount to purchase it. The Summerlin location is definitely the best for service and we felt special celebrating our special day. Great job Maggie and Maggiano's Summerlin!
I should add that Maggie was my all-time favorite server. I travel for my work and eat in many establishments. She was by far the best server; great suggestions, listened to our thoughts and ideas and made appropriate suggestions, checked up on us periodically - not too much, but just right; was always friendly and bubbly and really seemed to enjoy serving us. If she is like this with all the patrons, she needs to teach others her skills.
