    We were celebrating my wife’s birthday. We were greeted with “Happy Birthday (wife’s name) written on a blackboard in the reception area. We had requested a quiet table when we booked and we were thoughtfully accommodated. The food was excellent and the service was very friendly and attentive. All in all, it was a great evening.

    Maggiano Chevy Chase was pretty good overall. It’s been a while since we have been but notice an increase in price. Everything was good for the most part. I have an issue with the salad. The Maggiano’s salad which is now close to $17 for the entree portion. The amount of the salad was so underwhelming. A salad doesn’t cost them a lot to make but to charge $17 for it is just crazy. I had to get 2 salads to make a full meal. I did take a little home but for it to be enough for a meal cost me about $34, I could have gotten something else for that much but because I love that salad I got the salad. We had 7 people, each got a meal, I had 2 salads and we ordered 2 appetizers for the table, and 3 iced tea The total bill with tip came to $345. That is crazy for what we got. That’s close to $50 per person. The waiter (Marvin) was attentive, always there asking us if we need anything.
