Wise decision. I've learned never to slap someone in the face who's chewing on a toothpick unless I have a desire for a toothpick impaled in my palm.

I agree. Maggiano's targets the Yuppie crowd and you're not likely to see a Maggiano's outside of a fairly major and upscale urban area.
Back to the topic, when Olive Garden first hit the scene many years ago, we'd visit quite often but finally burned out on the concept. Somebody dragged me into an OG a few months ago and I was pleasantly surprised with how much they've improved and upscaled their menu.
OG's still not a place I'll visit on a regular basis but I'll also not avoid it as I have in the past.
