Answer: I haven't gone to a Maggiano's in a long time, first time in the Vegas location too. I made a reservation on the phone for 6:30pm, we got there by 6pm so I asked them if we could be seated. They were still pretty empty at that time except at the bar where they had happy hour so they sat us in a nice booth seat. Our waitress wasn't particularly friendly but she did provide good service overall. She didn't go over the specials either but no problem since I can read it myself. Ordered the half order spinach salad (I always forget to ask them to leave the dressing on the side. Did it again this time too and they put way too much). I remember it tasting a little better but it's probably because there was too much dressing. I do love my grilled veggies and bacon in it though. Also ordered the calamari. It was okay but I wish the marinara was spicy because it tasted kind of plain. The warm bread with the olive oil and balsamic was yummy. I only ordered two pastas for three people (waitress said all their dishes are now "half order" sized). Thank goodness I did too because the portions were still pretty big, plus I was already more than half-full from the appetizers and bread. Got the pesto chicken linguine and the seafood linguine. The pesto chicken linguine had a ton of pesto, a little too much but when I reheated it the next day, it was so good. The seafood linguine had a good amount of seafood and the tomato sauce kept it from getting heavy. We took back over 2/3 of each of the pasta dishes because we were too full by then, even for dessert. Although the waitress wasn't talkative with us, she refilled our water, checked up on us, and gave me two little rolls of ciabatta breads when I asked her to box the few pieces left to go along with our pastas. Good service and she was well rewarded with a nice tip.

Answer: Being from So. Cal, I really missed being able to eat at Flame Broiler. But since there isn't one in town, I've been on the lookout for a good replacement. I read the reviews on Teriyaki Madness and they made it sound promising, like a good substitute. But alas, I was wrong... I was so excited to finally stop by and try the place out. I ordered the teriyaki chicken bowl to get a benchmark test of the place, figuring that if the standard teriyaki bowl is good, then the rest of the stuff will probably be the same quality, maybe better. Employee behind the counter: "Would you like brown rice with that?" Me: "Is there an extra charge?" Employee: "Yes, 50 cents" Me: "No thanks" Employee: "Would you like vegetables? It's a $1 extra." Me: "Really!? No thanks." Employee: "Ok, your total is $7." Seven dollars for chicken and rice!! I could have gone to the Subway next door and gotten more and healthier food for half the price!! Then, I figured, the food must be super good quality right? Wrong! It wasn't anything too spectacular. The chicken was bland and fatty, but at least the rice came OK since there was a lot of it. It's no wonder they put a bottle of teriyaki sauce at each table. Oh, and I now know why they are called Teriyaki Madness... Well, if your experience is like mine, you'll leave MAD.

Answer:
Ate there for lunch today with a friend. I got the chicken enchiladas and she got the chicken tacos and they were both very good, I really like their Spanish rice too. I am glad there's a new place to eat in downtown Mesa.
