The Macaroni Grill in Alderwood Mall
Last night I took my daughter Jenny to the Macaroni Grill in Alderwood Mall. Robin does this more than I do. Going out with your adult children is a wonderful experience. It allows for great one-on-one conversation with someone who – not to long ago – you were hold their hand and playing in the park. Go do it with your kid soon!

Robin and I have been to Macaroni Grill many times over the years, and we always enjoy it. The food is good and consistent, the service is usually attentive and friendly. Macaroni Grill's bread rivals some of the best in town. I’ve seen folks order a loaf to go.
On this trip we Jenny ordered the shrimp alfredo. There were only two shrip that I could see but it seemed to be creamy and to Jenny’s liking. Robin has enjoyed the calamari at Macaroni Grill which is always tender and fresh, and the pesto sauce is a welcome addition to the traditional marinara served.
The Spahgetti and meatballs at Macaroni Grill was good and garlicky, but also a bit salty. I don’t like gimiky things so the meatballs with cheese stuffed in them did not impress.
For dessert try their chocolat cake. It’s ooey-gooey and decadent. After eating as much food as they serve, one dessert is more than enough for two to share. If you don’t mind the usual wait for a seat, I recommend the Macaroni Grill at Alderwood Mall. P.S. I do miss the singing waiters!
