My son's favorite restaurant is Maggianos. He fell in love with it when we ate at it in Denver a few years ago. So after his graduation ceremony (Auburn Mountainview HS) we trekked from Auburn to Bellevue. Our two servers, Isaac and Chris, were phenomenal. We had a party of 14, with one boy allergic to dairy and my Dad who couldn't eat gluten. The chefs came to our table to make sure that all dietary needs were met (to the ultimate YUMs of my Dad and smiles from Jacob :-) I was wanting an appetizer that Sean and I had ordered in Denver and loved, yet didn't see on the menu. One of the chefs arrived to have me describe it, then she went and created something AWESOME with fried gnocchi?s and a cheese dip!!! Chris and Isaac were very attentive throughout our stay. Sean's dad knocked a wine glass to the floor while talking with his hands and he felt no embarrassment as it was swept up around him (he was standing at the end of the table :-) My friend Carl, who loves cooking, was given a tour of the kitchen! He is still talking about how cool it was. Our youngest family members were listened to carefully, photos were taken for us of the entire party, and humor, kindness and professionalism were present in all interactions. The food was wonderful, but the service made the meal a truly memorable experience.
Pros: Tasty food, gluten-free food and excellent Wait-staff
Cons: only one around in Bellevue
