Had a very nice Thursday night ninner at Maizie's. At 6:30pm it was nicely busy with about half the tables full. The hostess was great - she practically met SO and I in the parking lot to escort us in (and, no, I do not know the staff :)) There's a row of 2-top banquettes that are reeeeeally close together. Hostess sat us at the end banquette with an open table next to us, which is fine because SO and I are admittedly not the touchy-feely types. Funny though, even though there were plenty of empty tables, hostess proceeded to attempt to seat that empty banquette no less than 4 times. Each time the guests requested another table (guess it was good we didn't shower). Menu is excellent - we had a hard time deciding. Food and wine were excellent (although I wouldn't have agreed to the chef substituting fetuccini in the baked penne as SO did). Server was outstanding. Minus one star for the strange table assignment and strange pasta substitution, but we'll eagerly be back nonetheless!
