Best Comfort Food Restaurants in Desert Shores

We are locals and I really didn’t want to cook Thanksgiving dinner this year. I have been here before and enjoyed that they aren’t afraid of butter or spices in food which honestly come on it’s Thanksgiving I’m thankful for food that has a flavor. I wasn’t disappointed as always the portions are huge but really good food. It was perfect we actually have leftovers of the full Thanksgiving dinner. Each course was great . The service is always wonderful. I highly recommend this place to anyone. I’m already thinking of Christmas dinner if it’s offered. Told a few people already that this will be are go to now for Holidays. We love you Martha

The food, service, and ambience were impecable. It was the perfect setting to connect and gather.

Nothing about this place feels like a "chain restaurant". Maggiano's in every way embodies specialty dining. We were torn on a couple meal decisions and deferred to our waiter, Nathan, to help with his suggestions. The man knew his menu and didn't disappoint! Nathan's suggestion of the Zucchini Fritte with Lemon Aioli set a high bar for the rest of the meal. It was amazing. Crunchy, flavorful and just...wow. my salmon was perfectly done, very flaky and not even a teensy bit dry. My son had the Maggiano's Chef KBs Lobster Carbonera and the flavors were incredible. Sugar peas were so crunchy and fresh and they didn't skip on the pics of lobster in the dish. Finally, my husband tried a new addition to the menu, Riserva Veal Parmesan, also suggested by Nathan. My husband swears it was the best veal parm he's ever had. While the portions were huge and we came home with leftovers, we also took dessert to go. The Butter Cake is so yummy. We'll be returning often for the food, atmosphere and Nathan!

We really need enjoyed everything. The staff were very pleasant and the food was absolutely amazing and outstanding. We will definitely return.

We had a great time watching the Buckeyes beat Indiana! Sat at the bar…great service, food and drinks!!! Had a little issue with the video game at my seat but Red was awesome and solved the problem!!! I didn’t get our bartender’s name but he was great!!! Very friendly and attentive!!!
