My experience as a first time guest was the best ever! It was a group of 6 for my sister's 29th birthday. We went on a Saturday night at 7 p.m. with reservaions made in advance. Our wonderful waiter, Leo, took marvelous care of us! He suggested that with our large party of 6 to get the ""family style"" option. You get 2 salads, 2 appetizers, 2 pastas, 2 entrees, and 2 desserts. Not only that, but you get UNLIMITED QUANTITIES!!! All for $25.95 or so per person! The appetizer of fried cheese is amazing, though it's called something more fancy. I was in love with the chicken parmesan entree! The beef medallions were so tender and juicy. For dessert, we couldn't decide on just two, so Leo brought us out 3 desserts. The Tiramisu was to die for! The Creme Brulee was amazing! The chocolate cake - oh so great! My family didn't feel rushed at all. Our meal was about 2 1/2 hours long and there were good spaces in between courses to let the meal digest. When we were finished, my husband and I agreed - this is our NEW favorite restaurant in Houston! The Capital Grille held that honor previously, but Maggiano's now holds the crown as our favorite. The entertainment was great - a piano playing trumpet player who is very personable. If you go, you'll be glad!!!
Pros: Food, Service, Entertainment, Portion Size
Cons: Maybe we need larger tables!
