| - I have to say that I worked for Macaroni Grille over ten years ago, and have never been back since I quit. I always really like the food here, but after leaving, just thought it was pretty expensive for a place that gets all its sauces shipped in bags, but was at the mall, and figured why not. We shared the Romano's sampler for the appetizer, and it was indeed pretty pathetic, with the two underfried mozzerella's, couple ounces of calamari, and lazy attempt at bruscetta. After the appetizer was cleared, we waited for about 35 minuted for our entrees. The restaurant was not even close to being half full, but seemed like they were understaffed. Its the holidays, and we're at a mall. You should have planned it out a little better it seems, as both the kitchen and servers were running around. After finally receiving entrees, I was very dissappointed, as my meal just fell flat. I had to try a few things, so again went for a sampler type thing. This had lasagna, chicken parmesean, and cannelloni. THe lasagna was not terrible, just seemed very palin compared to what I remember. The chicken was underseasoned, and the crust was a little burnt, and none of it had any flavor at all. The canneloni was crispy, then covered with sauces which gave it a weird (gross) texture. I think I'll wait another ten years before I go back again.
