Maggiano's is an old school red sauce Italian chain restaurant. Usually, I use them for meetings -- their private dinning space and budget friendly menus are great anywhere in the USA.
But this visit I found myself in the Fashion Mall on the Vegas strip. I wasn't in the mood to shop nor did I want to pay $6++ for Starbucks so I went into Maggiano's to grab a coffee. It was between lunch and dinner and the bar was empty. I bellied up to the bar and ordered my 3 shots of espresso and read my book -- sometimes I find relaxing spots in the most unlikely places.
The bartender was friendly but kept her distance as I wasn't in the mood to chat. Plus the off-hour diners kept her busy. I had to leave before my coffee was finished so she gave me a kid's sippy cup so I could take my coffee to go! Great service!
