Service was friendly and ambience was fine, but food was mediocre. Penne Rustica - too salty Grilled Salmon was way overcooked and accompanying orzo was watery. Children's Fettucine Alfredo is $6. We added chicken to it, but were not told it was an extra $5 for 3 slices of grilled chicken. 1 person had a hair in their Chicken Parmesan. While the manager did apologize and it was promptly remade, it would have been nice if the entree was either comped or we received some type of discount or free item. We received nothing.

My girlfriend and I got here about 15 minutes before our reservation time. We waited about 5 minutes at the front before someone finally greeted us. The girl who greeted us wasn't particularly friendly and said we'd have to wait until our reservation time since we arrived before it. This didn't make a lot of sense as it wasn't crowded at all and most of the tables were open. We just had to hang out by the bar area for another 10 minutes until our reservation time to finally be seated.Luckily our waiter and the food were great. I got the chicken parmesan, which seemed like one of the most healthy chicken parmesan's I've had at a restaurant. The fresh sauce with chunks of tomato in it was the best part.The open atmosphere with everyone in each other's faces isn't something I really liked, and the greeting/seating process was bizarre, but other than that, not bad.

Our family of 10 and enjoyed our appetizers, drinks and meals thoroughly. It did take a little while for the bread to come out although the restaurant wasn't very busy. Overall, we enjoyed eating there and having a stop on our way home from Disneyland.

Good food and a decent value. I was surprised it wasn't busier. They seemed to be a bit stretched on table servers to cover everyone. Enjoyable meal and they seemed keen to please.

It was a busy Sunday dinner hour, busy and so accommodating. We chose to sit at the bar, had a cocktail and decided to order dinner. I had the salmon special. It was absolutely delicious. Bartenders were knowledgeable in different food choices. If you're going in for Sunday dinner, make reservations.

We were greeted promptly and taken to our table. Our server was wonderful and answered every question we had regarding the menu. The food was served within a reasonable amount of time and it was cooked perfectly. Desert was heavenly... We will definitely be back.

I've always liked the food here, and the service has always been top notch, but the ambiance is just not there. The open floor plan where everyone is right there in your face, does nothing for me. There are Linen napkins and table cloths, suggesting fine dining, then family style floor plan subtracts from the experience. It's like posh and cheap are in constant collision with each other.Other than that, a minor disagreement to be sure, this is a great place to eat. The staff are exceptional, the food is great and it's not overly priced.

We really enjoyed our dinner at the macaroni Grill. We enjoyed our server, Bryce, he did a good job taking care of us. Our food was really delicious! Bryce told us some of the recipes had been updated recently. My wife and I both felt our dishes were extremely tasty. We are looking forward to returning for another enjoyable meal.
