| - Last night a group of my friends met at Maggiano's for dinner. We made reservation for 9 and I'm so glad that we did. This place was packed for Friday night. After I informed the host of my party's arrival, she informed me that we would have to order from the Family Style menu since our group now consisted of 10 people. It was a last minute addition. I was annoyed by that because I wasn't aware of that policy. I got nervous because I wasn't sure how it was going to work out since we had vegetarians in the group and some of the ladies were set on what they wanted to eat. Nonetheless, we decided to order from the Classic Family Menu list which costs $27.95 per adult, drinks were not included. The Classic includes two appetizers, two salads, four entrees and two desserts. And that was more than enough for 10 hungry women.
To make ordering easier, we ordered by a show of hands and the dish with the most votes would make it to the table. For starters we ordered the Barb's Spinach and Artichoke Al Forno (YUMMY) and Bruschetta. For salads, we had the Italian tossed and Maggiano's Salad. For the main dishes, we grubbed on the Linguine and Clams with White Clam Sauce (YUM), Mom's Lasagna (YUM, YUM), Four Cheese Ravioli and Salmon Lemon and Herbs. And for the delight of the night, we finished off with the Chocolate Zuccotto Cake and Nonna's Pound Cake, Caramelized Bananas (MY FAV).
Daniel was our server and he was great. Though he brought me the wrong drink, I didn't whine about that. He was friendly, on point and funny.
