    When I first walked in, I was put off because I was not greeted by any of the ladies behind the podium. Then I got the attention of one of the ladies, & gave her my name. She was friendly & as we walked to our booth I told her that my eyesight was limited, and I had a tough time walking through the restaurant, she was kind to offer her arm to hold on to, which I thought was very kind. The waiter came to our table immediately to take our drink order. Then later, to take our food order. As busy as the restaurant was, we got our drinks & food with good timing. Our drinks were good, and our salads & entrées delicious. We had good, friendly service & enjoyed the restaurant.

    We had an incredibly nice waiter named Maya. We are rating her at a 10! The food was OK but not great. We can see the rush of the kitchen because Segerstrom Hall is not far and a lot of folks are there prior to performances when they are dining at 6-7 pm. I had the mushroom chicken and pasta and I had asked Maya to have the kitchen hold back the sauce but unfortunately the food was overwhelmingly bathed with that mushroom sauce. We did not have the time to have a new meal made so I accepted it. Maya did provide me with a meal replacement card for the chicken mushroom that I can use within 30 days which was a nice gesture, though we live in Santa Monica area so unlikely to travel back to Irvine soon. My husband's meal was mushroom ravioli. He felt the food was formulaic but understandable regarding the Segerstrom crowd. The tiny piece of chicken which accompanied my granddaughter's pasta for which we paid $10 seemed a bit too high - overall we paid $22 for a child meal, that seems exhorbitant. I would recommend the place because they are efficient, very friendly staff and with some adjustment the food is fine. Oh and we loved the bread!!!

    Went on Monthers day they had a preset menu for Mother's day. Eric was our server. He suggested the pomegranate martini, Grand Margarita, and Smoked old Fashon drinks we ordered them all. The martini was fantastic the old fashion was smooth and very tasty the margarita was a margarita. The menu came preset except for the entrees we received meatballs , Zuccini, Calamari to start. Then an other plate with Genoa, parmesan cheese, and a ricotta, and green olives. We chose the fettuccine Alfredo , Fettuccine Bolenase, chicken Parm, and steak tips. the main meal was fantastic. Eric was on the ball and kept checking on us making sure we were good. We ended with the 3 deserts Tiramisu, cheesecake with strawberries and lemon cookies. All were fantastic. the manager (raul?) stopped by to see how everything was I was impressed he was taking dishes out and picking up plates very proactive it was nice to see. it was a good Mothers day dinner

    Recently dined here for their Mother's Day special menu, and Mom's birthday. We were seated promptly for our reservation time on Mother's Day evening. The food served and service by Shirley was terrific. Special starters: charcuterie plate, Bruschetta, Caesar's Salad, crispy Zucchini fritters, Wagyu Meat balls (to die for); mains: filet medallions, Lasagna, Wagyu stuffed shells, and chicken parm. Paired with a bottle of Ruffino Aziano Chianti Classico that was incredibly food friendly across all the various dishes served this evening. Incredible how it appeared that each appetizer and main course portioned for 3 people was served like it was almost prepared individually for each, no fast food methods and an amazing kitchen feat and process. This Maggiano's location has really stepped up its game over the last 1-2 years (if not longer), the food quality and presentation has been much improved we think because of its dedicated staff and managers, and service excelled in so many ways making us, and Mom, feel comfortable. Desserts: Italian style lemon cookies, Tiramisu, and NY Cheese cake with fresh strawberries and strawberry coulis poured at the table. All delicious and presented well. Finished with double espresso and a Montenegro Amaro that sealed a wonderful experience for us. Thanks and kudos to the team at Maggiano's Costa Mesa for a wonderful Mother's Day and birthday experience. Thanks for making it special.
