Honestly, this is the worst "sushi" I have ever experienced. Usually, I am not overly critical. This time, however, I have to say enough is enough. I have seen better sushi preparation by cat owners. The spicy tuna roll was bland, unenthusiastic, unevenly sliced and presented haphazardly on the most typical wooden chop block tray. The grilled calamari slices (not rings) had a chance to be good had they been tenderized first and seared properly over a hot flame. The coup de gras for this "special" dish was that calamari strips were not thouroughly separated by slicing. They had to be pulled apart (by hand) to get them ready for chop sticks. Last but certainly not least, the tuna tataki came served in uneven chunks squirted on top with chili sauce in much the same way a hot dog might be prepared at a ball game condiment stand. How this restaurant has managed to remain in operation through the "great recession" is a wonder to me. ...read more

I have been to this Macaroni grill twice. The first time the service was awful. It took a very long time for the server to get to our table, and when he did he was not friendly at all. The bread which at other Macaroni grills is good, had a puddle of oil on top and was cold. He never once refilled our drinks during the whole meal. I sent Macaroni grill an email complaining and they sent me a 5 dollar coupon in the mail. A few months after the incident we went again. This time was even worse than the last! I ordered chicken marsala. It comes with pasta and a marsala sauce. The plate was a mess... sauce covering everything like soup. There was so much sauce. The worst part was that they had cooked it with rotten mushrooms which made everything, even the chicken taste rotten. I could not eat more than a few bites. I told the server and he offered to let me speak to a manager, but I get embarrassed very easily. I would have rather had him offer to take it off of the bill. He did not take it off of the bill and showed little concern for rotten mushrooms being used in the food. I will never go again. ...read more

Many people think that an enchilada in a restaurant is much better than anything they can ever find at home, unless they know a lot of Hispanic people. This is because a restaurant has a special way of making enchiladas that is not only delicious, but doesn't fall apart like some people find when they... ...read more
