Ya know, a few years ago this place had way more tasty food until.......these books came out, "Eat this and not that" and slammed Macaroni Grill's tasty food as being unhealthy due to calories. Since that time, the menu has changed (obviously to minimize the slamming of their menu items) and wow, I guess fat tastes good because the quality of taste has gone way down. Their food seems like it is starving for flavor and while I have continued to come in to this restaurant due to the convenience and proximity of my home, I am constantly underwhelmed by the items I choose.
I will say, the staff has always been very good. They are friendly and attentive and there has never been a complaint in this area. The décor is also very inviting and a comfortable environment to dine - giving off that rustic Italian feel. However, let's face it, the food is the star of the show and thus the "stars" rating here, and unfortunately, this place to me is just ok....
