So for my last meal in Chicago before returning to Seattle, I went to Wild Fire upon the recommendation of my colleague. Unfortunately, upon arrival, I learned they did not serve lunch. When I asked for a good place nearby, they recommended Maggiano's. After a 3 block sub-arctic walk (had already paid for parking in a lot near Wild Fire), I stumbled in to a bakery which has a weird entrance to Maggiano's.
After getting some good hearted ribbing from the bakery patrons ("There's a revolving door you know?" to which I replied,"Sorry! I'm from Seattle." laughing ensued) I made in to Maggiano's.
I was immediately seated by this white haired, older gentleman (I suspect he's probably been there forever) and when I asked my waiter for recommendations, he suggested chicken parm which comes with some pasta on the side.
As I waited, I snacked on some hot bread and olive oil and read the news (there's an unsecured network here so thank you mr. Linksys man). When the meal arrived, I didn't think much of it until I took my first bite. HOLY SHITE. Wow. Wow. The outside of the chicken had a think crusty crunch to it and the inside was moist, tender, and delicious. The sauce was simple red sauce but not cold or lumpy like some other places. The cheese was just enough and hot and stringy and pure - not the processed stuff.
The pasta was a perfect al dante complement with some rich white sauce and a few pieces of brocolli. I am now sipping a late and will try their eggnog custard with a little bit of the captain.
This lunch made my entire trip. God blesss Maggiano's. Great service too :-)
UPDATE: just took first bite of the custard. fricking awesome. not too sweet, great texture, and the latte is perfect.
UPDATE2: just was informed by my friend on IM that they're a chain! i stand by my recommendation, the one in chicago rules. will def try the one in seattle when i get back.

real sushi, decent service, good prices. not as snobby as wasabi or expensive as shiro's either.

totally agree with previous reviewers about service. food is pretty good and reasonably priced -- service is a bit snooty given that we're not in manhattan.

i went through the internet sales dept and got a great deal -- much better than university audi. i got a horrible offer on my used car though and ended up selling it for double on craig's list. the service was ok, they made me wait longer than i needed to and only gave me my tags a few days before my temp plates expired. overall, i wouldn't say they were great but the price i got was at invoice so that was a v nice thing.

great screen, sound, and seats -- if there's a big movie, it's worth waiting in line.

not too dry, the line moves fast, and cheap. the apple pie was nothing special. service from the guy at the cashier was fine -- perhaps he's a bit fast but i was quite fond of the efficiency of it...

i live upstairs in the same building and i never really understood why people wait so long for the breakfasts there. the breakfast is very good but the long wait, rich prices, and cramped quarters seem a bit much to me. i do love their sandwiches though - the roast beef one is awesome -- great bread, nice mustard, good beef, and nice veggies. also, the muffins are good if ur in the mood to splurge but again, $3 for a muffin is really starting to get out of hand.
