    What made our evening so much fun was our waiter, Brian. (I hope that is how his name is spelled) He was very knowledgeable about wines plus told us interesting facts about what made some of their wines so good. The food was fantastic as always. The garlic truffle bread is amazing!

    The service was absolutely terrific. The only negative we had during our visit was that the table bread was still a bit raw on the inside so that wasn't appetizing.

    From the time my party of 2 arrived until 10 minutes later when we happened to be sitting next to a party of 2 in the waiting area the Hostess thought we were a party of four. She forgot who we were from one minute to the next and seemed genuinely disinterested in her role. She sat us at a table that as she adjusted it had an obvious wobble resulting in a large amount of soy sauce to spill onto the table, Instead of recognizing the issue and much less offer a cleanup, she started to walk away. I stopped her with a simple request to please seat us in a 2-spot booth. What was looking like a train wreck event was saved by our server who was top notch and attentive. The food was good and as expected for PF Chang's but my wife and I both commented how the restaurant was more cafeteria-like and lacked the pizzazz that it once possessed. We will most likely return to another PF Chang's in the future (typically 1x - 2x per year), but our expectations for a high quality, fun dining experience continues to diminish with each subsequent dinner. If there were a 3.5 star option I would have distinguished given hostess experience.
