Romano's Macaroni Grill - El Cajon

For the first time, Romano is here in El Paso. The service was fast, the food was amazing, the bread was really good. I was a little embarrassed to be with the party I came with. Lyle (our server) was very informative, maintained a great setting and treated it in Stride. The goat cheese in Papaudele pepper cheesecakes were amazing, I very much repeat it.

Amazing service and relaxing atmosphere. I couldn't ask for a more pleasant dinner with my wife. The food was excellent and quickly brought out. Great service through our server Karl and staff.

It had been approximately 10 years I hadn 't visited this place since I was in high school. Family members decided to get together for a Christmas reunion, our server was awesome but the food and the prices don 't match. The atmosphere is nice, very Tuscan style with Italian decor, lights are very carefully placed as to create a bohemian atmosphere. In my humble opinion I think the food is way overpriced for what you get. The food was very dry, no salad or soup was included and the drinks are pricey as well. I ordered the spaghetti and meatballs and it was too dry. Don 't recommend the food and definitely will go back.

Not bad. We will not go back. If you are looking for middle of the road Italian food that's slightly over priced go here. I also think it was or waiters first day on the job. He didn't do terrible. Story below for details. We were out for dinner on a Sunday night and ended up at this restaurant (not our first choice) because the sign said that we would be seated immediately. So we go. We had 8 in our party and waited 10 minutes to get seated. They gave us 2 booths, one for the kids and one for the adults. We waited for almost 15 minutes for our waiter to do the oil thing. Then tack on another 20 minutes before he took our drink orders. I had to go to the bar to get my drinks. We never got cloth napkins, and when we went to order more drinks it took another 15 minutes. It just took a while longer than we wanted.

My wife and I visited Macaroni Grill for the second time in a month. I was quite disappointed today. The service was sub par. At times our server completely forgot us I even had to ask other passing servers to get me things I needed. My fettucine seemed less than freshly made. It was cold, dry, and was hard. I don't think I'll be coming back anytime soon. :
