I will admit that Macaroni Grill was a mixed bag.  Gail once tried their
spaghetti and meatballs.  Total failure, at least to her tastes.  She
prefers thin spaghetti, theirs was quite thick.  The "meatballs"
consisted on a single ball the size of a softball, without an decent
flavor.  The sauce was like straight out of a jar of cheap sauce,
without even adding any spices.  If that had been at our first visit, we
never would have gone back.  OTOH, they had a chicken parm dish that was
quite good, plus it is one of her go to dishes.  I'm not sure that I
ever had anything other than that pork shank, which I also liked a lot.
