    My husband had crab cakes & a Caesar salad. I had the chicken parm and my favorite salad, Maggiano’s salad. We were with another couple and shared the pumpkin cheesecake. Everything was delicious and our waitress was very attentive. I’m never disappointed when dining at Maggiano’s. Love this restaurant and have been coming for 20 years.

    Our waitress was outstanding and her knowledge of gluten free options made my experience exceptional. The food was absolutely delicious and the atmosphere was pleasant. This was our first time at Pepp & Dolores. We live an hour and twenty minutes away and my wife commented in the middle of our meal that she would be willing to make the drive to just have dinner. She’s pretty selective about dinning out and that speaks volumes. The entire staff was so nice especially our hostess and waitress. Kudos to everyone especially the kitchen staff for an amazing meal.
