| - Of the two Cucina Tagliani Restaurants, this is the one we generally go to. Tonight my wife and I decided on Italian and Tagliani's was the destination. When we arrived, we found that half the parking lot was coned off and at the time, around 6:15 pm, was generally empty, while the other half of the parking lot was completely full. No place to park, but why would half the parking lot be coned off and not used? We did see some motorcycles there and it appeared that the local Harley dealer was doing some sort of promotion using the Tagliani parking lot. We ended up parking in the IHOP parking lot next door...sorry IHOP for intruding upon your parking lot. Upon entering, we asked the hostess why half of the parking lot was not being used for customers and was told it was bike night, so that half of the parking lot was being used for biker enthusiasts. I told her that is was rather inconsiderate to their more loyal clientele to show them such disregard by not allowing more parking for those customers that arrived more traditionally in a car. Secondly, Tagliani's is not the kind of restaurant that would be considered a biker destination. Now, considering it is located just on the outskirts of Sun City, it would seem to me to be more geared toward the retirement community, but who am I to determine the clientele they are seeking to attract.
The restaurant was not busy, maybe half full at the time of our arrival. Our waitress seemed a bit flustered, failing to ask us if we wanted anything to drink, though she did take an order for an appetizer. Ultimately, we did get our drinks, though she wanted to ask us what we wanted for a main course before our appetizer even arrived. This has to be my biggest pet peeves with servers, as it gives the impression that we are being rushed through our meal. Nothing is more aggravating than having your main course arrive while you are still enjoying your appetizer. UGH....This probably is more a training issue for this particular server than anything, but it happens more often than not, so maybe it is simply the common expectation. The food was good as usual, no complaints there, but the meal is just part of the experience when you go out to eat, as there are many other interactions that can detract from the experience. I would suggest to the management at Tagliani's that in the future, if they want to have a Bike Night, they should cater their food over at the Harley dealership rather than impose upon the regulars the inconvenience and ultimate feeling of lack of appreciation for loyal patronage.
