Maggiano's - Tyson's Corner Ratings and Reviews

We had the pasta special where you eat pasta and get to bring home pasta. it was definitely worth what they were charging. What did bother me though were there were empty tables and they walked us out to the last table in the restaurant. There wasn't even table setting on the table.

I was very pleased with my lunch experience at Maggiano's. Two servers tended to our party of twelve, without missing any beats. The servers were attentive, pleasant, and friendly. Our family-style lunch was delicious and plentiful. I highly recommend Maggiano's and will dine at that restaurant again.

We really enjoy the food at the Friendship Heights Maggiano's but it was not as good at the Galleria. My pasta had far too much sauce and my daughter only got one meet ball in her pasta dish and they give her two at Friendship Heights. We were over all disappointed.

The food and service were excellent, we have used them for catering in the past as well. Always very happy with the food and presentation. The only issue is the wine is more expensive than it should be.

We had a great time. My only complaint was that we had seen the family dining pricing for much lower on the open table menu than was on the menu at the restaurant.

Despite having a reservation, we waited 20 minutes to be seated. All of the wait staff was excellent and attentive. Cocktails were good. The overall quality of the food seems to have diminished. Nothing was terrible or better than ordinary. We ordered the family menu and items we have enjoyed there in the past. It was, culinary speaking, more of an Olive Garden experience than the usual Maggiano's dinner. We are not eager to return - it was a very meh experience.

I love how quick the service is. Our waiter was amazing. He can juggle really good. We got our seats, served our food, refilled our drinks, and ate some more all under an hour on a very busy Father's Day. Nothing can beat that.

The food is excellent and never had a problem with a meal. Waiters are great and attentive even when busy. The meals for 2 are a great value and lots of food. The one area that needs work is the reservation and front desk when you check in. Always seems to be an issue, either they are not ready for my reservation, miss seat people in others reservation, never have my table ready when I arrive, and even with a reservation have to wait in line to check in only to be told I am to early (have to get back in line) or on time but need to wait because no tables are available.

Maggianos just isn't the same as it was when it first opened in our area. Overall the food was just okay and I won't return. If you want to dine at Maggianos I would recommend the Chevy Chase location. I gave the Tyson's a fair rating at best.
Always loved Maggiano's in the past, but ...
Always loved Maggiano's in the past, but what an awful experience tonight. Food remained good, but noise level was unusually high, tables jammed on top of one another. Leaving aside the chair and condiments set that were missing when we were shown to our table, the service was clearly designed to get us in and out as fast as possible. I wasn't looking for a leisurely meal, but there was no time between courses. One server literally threw down an appetizer meant to be shared with the table in front of me on top of my silverware. Another server did something similar. Our main waiter started asking one member of our party what he wanted for dessert before the rest of us had finished our main course. I had to ask him to wait. When the rest of us had finished, he asked us what we wanted for dessert, and seemed surprised we hadn't heard what he started to tell the first member of our party. When we asked for a dessert menu, he pulled one out of his pocket - although there were four of us at the table. All in all, rather than an enjoyable and somewhat relaxing outing, it was a noisy and muddled rush. Not sure if we'll give them another try or not - there are many other restaurants in town.

It was my first time at Maggiano's and food did not disappoint me at all! It was amazing to say the least. The costumer service was super bad if it wasn't for the food I wouldn't go back there to be honest.

It's Maggiano's, but we have traditionally gone there for to participate in a family style meal with friends for a special occasion. On Saturday at 5pm, I found the environment to be loud, too loud to chat in our booth at the far end of the room. The meal seemed rushed, and there was not enough room at the table for the plates, serving dishes, glasses, wine, etc. Of most concern was the temperature of the restaurant. My husband was sweating profusely at the table. It was not an enjoyable meal. All six guests at the table were sweating profusely. It was a warm day outside, and measures should have been taken to cool off the inside of the restaurant.

Excellent service from the beginning till the end. Food is always good but service was outstanding. Well done.
As always...Excellent
Our server Sebastian gave us excellent service. I never leave this Maggiano's without thoroughly savoring their food. The NY strip was cooked to perfection al forno. The linguini di mare was superb. Berry Tiramisu to die for! Thanks for another great dining experience Maggianos.
Excellent Retirement Dinner
We booked a table for 15 three weeks in advance of a retirement dinner. The number of attendees changed several times, and we had to change the time of our reservation just two days before the event. Through all of our changes, the Maggiano's staff was polite, professional, and accommodating. We really appreciated the staff's patience. On top of that, the meal, as always, was excellent. The only negative was a result of a misunderstanding. When we made the reservation, we were under the impression that the gratuity was included in the fixed-price menu for a larger group. It was embarrassing to learn that that wasn't the case, but in the end we worked out the misunderstanding. Thanks for a great time on a special occasion for my family and me!
The food was amazing. Things just seemed to busy for number of staff. Drinks came at different time or refills had to be asked for after asking 10 minutes ago. Some appetizer never came out till after the entrees were brought. The noise was louder that you could only hear the person directly next to you not across. This was just my first time I would love to come back and see if it was just a low staff night.

This is an ordinary Italian restaurant serving very generous portions. The waitress was very friendly and efficient--particularly for a crowded Saturday night. Everything was good, but just not extraordinary. The portions to take home are a very nice touch.

Our first time here and they had the best customer service. The chef brought us a complimentary dish to try as we waited for our food and answered any questions we had. The restaurant was a great find, along with the great service he food was phenomenal, I will definitely be back and will recommend this place to everyone. Price is great for the amount of food you get!

Its nice to see restaurant busy even on Thursday evening. The service was slow, and even when the place got almost emptied out it was still slow. The food tasted great thought so perhaps it was worth a wait time. Salad for $12 came in a small bowl, I expected an entree size salad for that price considering it was all mixed lettuce. Bread tasted like it was microwaved, not warmed up in the oven, which I didn't appreciate.

With 8 diners, all having different dietary concerns, Maggianos did not disappoint with menu items for all!

Use to seem like a special restaurant for special occasions. Even had my wedding rehearsal dinner there. Not the same as before. No one was dressed nice, loud, loud, loud groups of people and wait staff running around hectic. Was sat near the kitchen where the wait staff kept rushing in and out of.

Maggianos was great! I went there with a group of 12 for prom night and our waitress was so sweet! We kept apologizing for anything we would thinking was annoying, since some of us work in the restaurant business we know what it's like to deal with big groups so we were very thankful that our waitress was so sweet and understanding of our needs. Would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice place to go grab dinner.

Food was good, not great. Service was a little iffy. My coffee arrived after I had finished my desert.
Friends Get Together
The reservation process was seemless, the wait staff was attentive and extremely helpful, and the food selection and preparation was excellent. A great place to gather with friends.
Maggiano's Did Everything Right!
We were welcomed immediately & shown straightaway to our table. The table & setting were perfectly appropriate. Service was at our side quietly and just as we needed. Food was excellent! It couldn't have been better! I was very glad to have an Open Table reservation; Maggiano's is a hopping place!
Want to thanks to chief.
Whatever we ordered were all delicious. Desert were not too heavy, but tasty. We definitely go back, esp with friends. Thanks so much.
Efficiency at its best.
Mother's Day was the occasion and Maggiano's handled the crush of celebrants with expertise and efficiency. The menu was a "special" for Mother's Day and we need some help selecting since two of the four in our party preferred to eat 'gluten free." The waiter requested the chef to visit with us and Maria, the Sous Chef assisted us in selecting the best possible choices. She was knowledgeable, friendly and caring and we ended up with a tasty dinner and dessert. We got to watch a party of three sneak in the patio door and sit down at a table next to us that had just been cleared. Management figured out what happened and explained that other people had reservations and they were welcome to get on line for a table, bur the wait might be over two hours due the popularity of the restaurant. We later saw the "sneakers" leave the same way they entered. Another table near us had one young woman who looked like she was ordering for four, but she was the only one there. It became apparent the rest of her party was not able to come to the restaurant and the staff assisted her in packaging the meal so that she could share in the Mother's Day celebration. This is one of the best restaurants we go to and we will keep coming back for great food and value!
Hands down the best place to eat in Tysons Corner
The Manager Josiah Davis made sure everything was perfect. He went above & beyond to make sure of it. He made the dining experience unforgettable. As usual the food & service was excellent.

Service was very poor. Restaurant did not deal well with a lot of customers
We celebrated Mother's Day at Maggiano's - perfect
We had several children and grandchildren at Maggiano's for a Mother's Day celebration. The upper level table was perfect and the service was excellent. We especially liked the special Mother's Day menu - all served family style. We never lacked for food - there was plenty and we all brought leftovers home and enjoyed them the next day. I will definitely return to Maggiano's soon. All the food items were great, but I especially liked the Chicken Parmesan - fantastic!

SYDNEY, Jan. 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Social collaboration is expected to gather momentum over the next few years in Australia and this trend is complementary to a more collaboration-focused business climate. This was the finding from the newly released Frost & Sullivan Australian Social Collaboration Market 2012.
According to Audrey William, Head of Research, ICT Practice, Frost & Sullivan ANZ, one of the main factors accelerating the adoption of social collaboration solutions is the growing importance of smart devices in an enterprise environment. "The proliferation of smart devices is driving a significant change in the way employees access corporate applications. Additionally we will start seeing more of the Unified Communications solutions incorporate social media and collaboration as part of its solution" she said. The consumerisation of IT has brought about a new aspect of communicating in the marketplace and vendors are incorporating a more social collaboration in all aspects of new offerings and this is across contact centres, e-mail, videoconferencing, mobility, and collaboration.
Big data also brings about a whole new aspect to social collaboration. It will be very powerful in the future for companies to understand the deeper aspects of social collaboration in the cloud, through information on mobile devices, websites and social platforms. Social analytics will grow in importance as it will provide organisations with greater intelligence and measurements on social collaboration activities. William stated, "That will be the foundation of helping them benchmark themselves against competition as well as deepen their understanding of what is currently lacking as part of their overall product, marketing or customer service strategy. It is still early days and this area will evolve over time and there will be huge opportunity for vendors in the analytics and business intelligence space to develop social collaboration analytical tools."
Social collaboration will also impact and transform other markets beyond enterprise collaboration. The integration of various communication channels, especially the e-mail and Instant Messaging (IM) is a result of the transformation.
Anand Balasubramanian, Industry Analyst, ICT Practice, Frost & Sullivan ANZ says, "E-mail will continue to be relevant, however e-mail will be more social in nature in the coming years. We are already witnessing that sort of innovation from vendors in the marketplace."
The integration of social media with enterprise collaboration will also greatly benefit the contact centre industry, as the capabilities of contact centre agents will be improved by the integration of analytics with customer information, enabling agents to better collaborate with other agents and departments to assist the customer across multiple channels (voice, e-mail, chat).
The social collaboration market was initially identified as having a number of small players, each offering similar, identical services. However, the market is evolving towards an integrated platform approach in which the e-mail and IM forms are combined with social collaboration, voice, video and other applications. Unified-Communications (UC) vendors and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) providers are in a good position to leverage this demand and are beginning to include social collaboration capabilities and building these as strengths in their portfolios.
As part of the research, Frost & Sullivan surveyed 210 IT decision makers in Australia to understand market behaviour and views towards Social Collaboration. Some of the key findings include:
- Close to 34% of organisations are at the inception stage of social collaboration adoption and are in the process of evaluating the role and scope of social collaboration as a part of an overall strategy.
- Microsoft, Google, Cisco and IBM were rated as the preferred vendors for social collaboration solutions
Going forward, Frost & Sullivan expects further consolidation in the market, with only a small number of players dominant by end of 2013. There were a number of acquisitions in the market in 2012, with Microsoft's acquisition of Yammer and SAP's acquisition of SuccessFactors being the most significant. Prior to that VMware acquired Socialcast to gain an entry into the market. Such consolidation trends are expected to continue, which will give an advantage to vendors able to offer an integrated collaboration experience for the user. The most significant acquisition in 2012, Microsoft's acquisition of Yammer set the foundation for Microsoft to emerge and hold a strong position in the social collaboration market.

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet.

WAUCONDA -A fire reported Tuesday afternoon is burning along the West Fork of Cougar Creek in northeast Okanogan County.
A Level 3 (highest) evacuation alert has been issued for the area, but so far only one home has been threatened in the sparsely populated area, Sheriff Frank Rogers said.
The fire, of unknown origin, has burned across about 20 acres, and is burning uphill toward Toroda Creek.
The Wauconda Community Hall, 129 Toroda Creek Road, has been opened in case people evacuate and need a place to stay, Rogers said.
No fire district serves the area, which is in a state Department of Natural Resources-protected area.

Oil & Gas UK chief executive, Malcolm Webb, has officially opened the new Aberdeen offices of oil and gas consultancy Magma Products.
Magma, which provides specialist offshore commissioning and start-up services, has grown from a business employing six people in 2011 to one with an 85-strong team today.
It has moved from small city centre premises to its new offices at The Spires Business Park, just off Mugiemoss Road. They can accommodate around 60 people, with many Magma personnel based on site at client projects.
Magma, which invested more than £750,000 in the move to the new 4,000 sq ft offices, said it is currently looking to recruit around 20 engineers due to the prospect of securing further projects by the end of the year.

Alaska Native voters in the Yukon-Kuskokwim region of Western Alaska gave the Yup'ik language primary ballot translations mixed reviews.
All eight of the Yup'ik voters that KYUK talked with said they needed help understanding what they were voting on.
Elder Jacob Nelson is originally from the coastal village of Kwigilingok. He moved to Bethel in the 1970s and he speaks mostly Yup'ik, and very little English. He says, leading up to Alaska's primary election, he heard some information on the radio in his language about an oil tax referendum.
"I only ever heard about the ballot initiative on radio, not from anyone else."
Alaska's primary ballot asked voters to weigh in on whether to repeal oil tax changes made by the state legislature last year, among other things.
The Primary was held on the heels of a trial, where Attorneys with the Native American Rights Fund, argued the state of Alaska was not doing enough to help Yup'ik voters understand the issues in their language. The state division of elections argues they're doing enough. Critics say the translations are full of jargon and legalese that's difficult if not impossible for mainly Yup'ik speaking voters to make sense of.
Like many elders in the area, Nelson says he couldn't understand the Yup'ik ballot because it's written in a modern style that he's not used to. He had someone working at the polls explain the issues to him, in spoken Yup'ik, and marked an English ballot. He said he's glad there is some effort, but there could be more.
"This will be good for the people if people could understand what they are voting for and if we understand it the way we speak."
It's estimated there are around 10-thousand Yup'ik speaking voters in Alaska. The language is the second most spoken language in the state behind English, also the second most spoken Native American language in the country behind Navajo. A decision on the lawsuit against the state of Alaska regarding language translations is expected soon.

Lots of people in the NorthBay have backyard apples, most of which are just fine for homemade cider. There are community organizations you can join to learn more or do more.
You can access the Slow Food Sebastopol Community Apple Press at Burbank Farm for free, but you are limited to 100 pounds of apples. You can also buy apples from local farmers (they have a list) to press. See http://www.slowfoodrr.org/projects/sebastopol-gravenstein-apple-presidium/sebastopol-community-apple-press/
The CA Rare Fruit Growers (garden club) has a cider press available by the day to members, and numerous educational events. They also offer hundreds of varieties of scions (cuttings for grafting) at their annual Scion Exchange in January at the SR Vets Building, including classes on how to easily graft apples and "fruit salad trees". One member has over 100 varieties of apples on one tree. Go to www.CRFG-Redwood.org for event dates and membership info.
Don't you think the abundant availability of willing buyers of "distressed" homes (corporate or otherwise) helps the poor mortgagee that has to dispose of the home/debt? And yes corporate buyers are in to make a profit, oh the horror!
"...renters of single-family homes from the three biggest corportate landlords in the state ... pay higher rents than their neighbors and face challenges getting repairs." - Thats the best indictment you could come up with for all your vilification?
How can you determine that the homeless are moving into the area when so many of our local people are being pushed into the streets? And, I agree with Brad (yikes), we need to provide housing, laundry facilities & shower facilities and these need to be located in central areas like downtown, Guerneville Road area, Lower Santa Rosa Avenue. While I'm on the topic, why do we refuse to provide restroom facilities to the public in general including the homeless? Our constant need to "shame" people for being homeless by denying them the right to even the most basic need of the ability to use a restroom is sick and twisted. Come on people, who thinks this is a good idea?
I have been describing WarkaWater to people for the last months wishing I could find camaraderie. Thank you for this article!

Or if any others such as Chris Fogliatti, Todd Dawson, Brock Dolman would like to experiment with keeping some almond trees alive. I've thought about using trees as frames. Or a high tower in an open area. Will need water for trees and family on the farm. I feel Fog Catching and making water our of thin air is the way to go for much of California.
Love it! Very insightful! ;)
Sonoma County theater is not dying and musicals are not killing theater. The numbers of theaters has grown along with the expectations that audiences should fill the seats. "Build it and they will come" has it's limits.
Does Sonoma County have more expensive theaters that pay salaries to staff, actors and musicians then reason should expect audiences to pay for?
Wish we'd have more new non-musical plays -- I personally can't stand most musicals, even though I go all the time since my daughter loves them -- but give me Shakespeare -- in the Cannery or anywhere, any maybe a few besides R & Juliet, MacBeth and 12th Night or Midsummer's. But let's get some new plays in the works. Why does theater seem to be dying? At least HBO has writers! Where are the NEW plays? Regular theatergoers like myself have seen all the plays, over and over again. And I'm only in my early 50s. Kudos to Marin Theater Company and other houses which actually get new works!
Get a scanner. The police are dispatched on homeless issues almost 50 per cent of all 911 calls. We must provide housing, laundry, and shower facilities in all parts of Sonoma County. Failure to do so requires many homeless to be law breakers in order to stay alive...
Housing, laundry facilities and showers 24/7 are needed....Little homes with no washing machines and storage fail miserably. Please stop the stories that fail to adjust to basic necessities.
Thank you. A thoughtful post.
Had I set out to interview people for this piece in the usual way (and yes, I am the author) I would have certainly contacted as many women as men. Check my 22 years of journalism, easy to find on the the web.
But in this piece, as described from the first line, I simply gleaned the most pertinent remarks from the 20+ responses I got from my Facebook posting to several hundred friends, roughly half-of-which are women.
As relatively few women responded (more did, but presented thoughts beyond the scope of the piece) I was in a position of using only what I had at hand.
I doubt though, since the people I DO quote present a fairly even balance of opinion (some pro-musical, some pro-nonmusical, most liking a balance of both), that additional voices—female, or otherwise—would have much changed the tone of the piece.
Are you saying that women are more, or less, inclined toward musicals than men?
Had I interviewed only women, would the consensus have been skewed more toward plays than musicals?
Other than noticing that more men responded to my question than women, what, exactly, would the final conclusion—left un-concluded in the piece—have been?
Maybe testosterone poisoning is also a contributing factor to what's killing North Bay theater. In a 2300-word piece, writer/critic David Templeton (male) apparently couldn't find a single female actor or director to interview for it. He quotes a Nick, a Matt, another David, a Larry, a Gene, a Harry, a Conrad, a Dan and an Adam. That's 10. The lone female voice, a Karen, is a publicist and event marketer whose input is worth less than a column inch. A whopping 16 words. Really?? Come on. You don't have to look long or far in the North Bay to find talented women who act or direct, or both, and some are even intelligent and articulate enough to have an opinion worth including. But what do you expect from the Bohemian, a newspaper that itself tips the testosterone scale toward obese. The paper's page 4 list of names with either "editor" or "contributor" in their title include a Dan, a Stett, a Tom, a Gary, a Charlie, a Rob, an Eric, a James, a David (of the theater piece) and a Tom. Again, 10. And then there's a Flora (presumably female) who writes the restaurant reviews. Fine, but that's not exactly hard news, guys. I do use the word "guys" intentionally. Sonoma County is considered progressive. Let's please see that reflected here with a wee bit of gender equity in the writers and the stories they produce.
Musicals are a genre of their own and audiences need to remember that. Instead, people will only see a show if it's a musical. Well, what about the rest of us that have true acting talent that can't be hidden behind a song? No one wants to see that kind of show anymore.
I also believe you can have great and terrible productions of both anywhere.
It may be frustrating to have small houses, but it is hardly the fault of too many musicals. That is a logical fallacy. I have never seen where more of one branch of any performing art means less of another. And to think that large houses for a musical is the cause of smaller houses for "serious" theatre misunderstands the genres and the audience. The very long and steady decline of theatre attendance begins with film, continues through television, and accelerates with cable/internet.
Love this discussion. Same phenomenon applies in South Bay, where three different companies are staging West Side Story within a month of each other-- but of course they don't know that when they apply for the license-- so I think it's a licensing issue as well.
I particularly like Palafox's note re Main Stage West, as that has also been the formula for my home theatre, the Pear Avenue Theatre, that has done quality theatre for 13 seasons and is still going strong. Classics, contemporary, world premieres, short plays, readings-- everything BUT musicals... Focusing on the best quality work possible, with simpler production values... Always trying to maintain that trust with the audience, that we will bring them something worth seeing...
Great piece - so true and so frustrating. I went and saw the opening night performance of Jake's Women as part of the Sonoma Arts Live season. It was the best theater performance in Sonoma in ages - and it wasn't sold out - this was opening night!!
I'm bias - I've never been a big musical fan. I appreciate what people are doing to bring all types of performance to Sonoma County, but, when you offer fancy wine and food and the events sell out every weekend and a local theater producing a Neil Simon play can't even fill the small theater? It's so frustrating..
Excellent article - again: thanks for putting quality reporting on important local issues in your weekly.
So S.R. has bylaws against sleeping in cars? Too bad; often a car is the only thing keeping a person from full-fledged homelessness! With a working vehicle it's possible to look for more work (and get to the part-time, lowpaying job one already has) while hopefully managing to put money aside. The downside - keeping clean, finding toilets - is nothing compared to the advantages of having mobility, safety, and independence. And, of course, the possibility of locating permanent shelter.
To Jacqueline:
Yes, the homeless move around, and areas with better services will be a magnet to them. Of course a solution is to not provide services; more humane and ultimately, more responsible, is for communities to have housing, mental health, and food programs in place. And this is happening!
The homeless population has increased because of the obvious reasons, but i can't help but question if there aren't people coming from other areas to live on our streets. The increase in encampments, drugs, unsupervised dogs ect.... is out of control.
That is terrifying. I can not believe that our jails are being contracted out to FOR PROFIT MEDICAL SERVICES! This is an abomination to humankind and is morally corrupt! For profit medical must me STOPPED!
Mother Theresa would be ASHAMED OF YOU!

Maktab Al Jihad, submitted by Eno. Militant Islamic websites are becoming all the rage with the kids these days. I don't enjoy getting all political on this, but fundamentalists of every stripe are inevitably the people who fuck up the world. If you watch some of the shitty videos (some may be graphic, the ones I watched were so compressed it looked like trees humping and shooting fire) you'll get to hear shrill girlish yells of "Allahu Ackbar!" in nearly every one. My advice to moderate Muslims; here in America until recently (and I partially blame your extremists for this) we had our Christian fundamentalists relegated to the role of laughingstocks. Recognize now that no matter how much America sucks, and I don't doubt that it does suck from your perspective, these Islamic fundamentalist idiots are just going to ruin your future. Fight back against them.
They don't care about their fellow men and women. They definitely don't care about you. They probably don't even really care about the God they believe in. They are just using religion as a means to power just as so many have before them and just as so many will continue to do. Even if 100 years from now Islam has blanketed the globe somehow the spiritual heir of these assholes will be fighting a losing war against the Octagon Sect who worship the great prophet Octagonus.
Now it's time to get back to my prayers in the hope that Jesus can keep our American religious assholes from fucking up my future.

Madeleine cakes and memories
One of the master works of the 20th century, and one of my personal favorite novels, is À la recherche du temps perdu, a seven volume tour de force by French literary giant Marcel Proust (1871–1922). In English, it exists in two translations, each with a vastly different approach and end product: In Search of Lost Time and Remembrance of Things Past. Early in the novel, the narrator states that he once had few memories of his early childhood weekends, which he spent at the home of his aunt Léonie in the village of Combray. In fact, the memories of Combray and his aunt had lain dormant for many years, until one day when the taste and scent of … Continue reading
Connecting the dots
Steve Jobs' now famous 2005 Stanford commencement address consisted of three brief personal stories, one of which he called "connecting the dots". In this tale, Jobs explains how his interest in calligraphy came to be, and how it influenced the design of the original Macintosh computer, and subsequently the entire industry. While still a teenager, Jobs dropped out of Reed College in 1973, after only six months in residence. He explained that he enjoyed the school, but that he was frustrated by the required courses he was obliged to take, many of which did not interest him. After quitting the college, though, he remained on the Oregon campus for another 18 months, sleeping on … Continue reading
How to find meaning in seemingly meaningless work
Camus' philosophical essay Le mythe de Sisyphe ends with these words: "La lutte elle-même vers les sommets suffit à remplir un coeur d'homme. Il faut imaginer Sisyphe heureux." I quote it here in French because I have never liked this passage nearly as much in its English translation: "The struggle itself toward the heights is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy." In the English version, the concept is there, but the author's eloquence somehow is lost, as is often the case with fine literature. That said, translation is a difficult exercise, and I have never been able to come up with a better version myself. In any case, … Continue reading
How existential philosophy made me a better manual worker
Sometimes, when I remark that I have always enjoyed manual labor, friends and colleagues comment that it is relatively easy for someone like me to make that kind of statement. My experiences as a factory line worker, winery laborer, security guard, painter, delivery person, and such, were all temporary passages in life, rather than jobs I was stuck in for the long term. Of course, this is true, and that is one of the reasons that I have the utmost respect for those who engage themselves fully in their work—day after day, year after year—even when the tasks they perform on a daily basis may resemble Sisyphus and The Absurd. In … Continue reading
Reasons to Smile at Work
These days, several elements seem to be conspiring to encourage me to extend our "visit" to the winery of my student years. First, my own reprocessing of this period from my past continues to yield surprises, and that has indeed been fascinating for me. Second, I am finding the lessons from this time more interesting and important to my current thinking than I had previously realized. And third, coincidentally, what I picked up on the floor of the winery relates well to some of the issues I have been reading about lately in the press, particularly with respect to self-engagement. Of course, I had no idea back then that I was learning so much that would influence … Continue reading

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to exhaust structures for an outboard V-type engine.
2. Description of the Related Art
Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 12-310108 discloses exhaust structures for four-cycle outboard engines. An exhaust pipe extends downward from the undersurface of the front side of the mounting case of the engine, and an oil pan is disposed to the rear of this exhaust pipe. A disadvantage of this structure is that the exhaust pipe is a separate part, and thus, the required number of parts and assembly labor are increased. The structure is also complicated. Further, because the space in front of the oil pan is occupied by the exhaust pipe, the capacity of the oil pan is reduced.
Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-41934 discloses a structure in which the exhaust pipe is integrally disposed inside the oil pan. This simplifies the structure, reduces the number of parts, and reduces labor required for assembly. However, the shape of the oil pan itself is complicated in that two exhaust pipes pass through the oil pan. Additionally, the capacity of the oil pan is reduced.
The present invention provides an exhaust structure in which the shape of the oil pan is simplified and the capacity of the oil pan is not diminished.
The exhaust structure of the invention may be used in a vertical-type four-cycle V-type outboard engine. The engine may include a crankcase, cylinder blocks constituting left and right sides of an integral body disposed in a V-shape as seen in a plan view and forming a V-bank therebetween, and cylinder heads. An intake system may be disposed in the V-bank, and exhaust systems may be disposed on the left and right sides outside the V-bank. A crankshaft may be disposed substantially vertically to a surface formed where the crankcase and cylinder blocks join one another. The engine may be disposed above an engine support attached to the hull, and an oil pan may be disposed beneath the engine support. The exhaust systems join and integrate with one another inside the engine support and then pass through the interior of the oil pan to discharge exhaust gases.
The engine support has an exhaust collecting passage comprising two exhaust inlets, one each located in the left and rights sides of the engine support, respectively, and a generally centralized exhaust outlet. The exhaust inlets extend from openings in the respective side surfaces of the engine support and are connected by exhaust manifolds to exhaust ports that extended toward the outside surfaces of the left and right cylinder heads.
The exhaust inlets may be configured to join in approximately the center of the engine support and communicate with the exhaust outlet.
The exhaust inlets may also respectively extend perpendicularly to the axes of the left and right cylinder banks.
The exhaust inlets may further extend obliquely rearward as seen in a plan view.
The exhaust structure may further comprise a final exhaust passage that communicates with the exhaust outlet and is substantially centered in the oil pan.
In addition, the area surrounding the engine may be covered by an engine cover configured such that the engine cover, cylinder blocks and cylinder heads define triangular spaces therein, and the exhaust manifolds may be located in the spaces.
Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the abovementioned figures.
An outboard engine 1 is equipped with an engine support 2. An engine 3 is disposed above the engine support 2, and an oil pan 4 that stores lubricating oil (not shown in the figures) is disposed beneath the engine support 2. The engine 3 is a vertical type engine in which a crankshaft 5 is disposed substantially vertically inside the engine.
A pair of left and right tubular engine mounts (described below) are disposed in the vicinity of the front edge of the engine support 2, and the front ends of the left and right engine mounts may be connected to a clamp bracket. The clamp bracket 6 may be fastened to the transom of a hull (not shown in the figures). Furthermore, the area around the engine 3, engine support 2, and oil pan 4 is covered by an engine cover 7.
A shaft housing 8 is disposed at the area around the lower part of the oil pan 4. A drive shaft 9 which is the output shaft of the engine 3 is disposed substantially vertically inside the engine support 2, oil pan 4 and shaft housing 8. The upper end portion of this drive shaft 9 is connected to the lower end portion of the crankshaft 5. The drive shaft 9 extends downward through the shaft housing 8 and is constructed so that this drive shaft 9 drives a propeller 13 (constituting a propulsion device) via a bevel gear 11 inside a shaft crankcase 10 disposed at the area of the lower part of the shaft housing 8, and a propeller shaft 12.
Left and right integrated cylinder blocks 15 are disposed in a V shape that spreads in the direction of width of the outboard engine 1 (as seen in a plan view) to the rear (right side of FIG. 1 and lower side of
Three cylinders 18 are located in a substantially in-line configuration so that these cylinders are positioned adjacent to each other in the vertical direction inside each cylinder block 15 (details of this configuration are not shown in the figures). A piston 19 is inserted in each cylinder 18 and is free to slide along the axis 20 of its cylinder 18.
The crankshaft 5 and pistons 19 are connected by connecting rods 21, so that the reciprocating strokes of the pistons 19 are converted into rotational motion of the crankshaft 5. The crankshaft 5 is disposed in a vertical orientation to a surface formed where the crankcase 16 and cylinder blocks 15 join.
Combustion chambers 22 are aligned with the cylinders 18 and are located in the cylinder heads 14, as are spark plugs (not shown in the figures), which are connected in communication to outside the engine 3. Intake ports 23 and exhaust ports 24 that communicate with the combustion chambers 22 are located within the cylinder heads 14. The exhaust ports 24 extend to the outside surfaces of the left and right cylinder heads 14, while the intake ports 23 extend to the interior of the V-bank 17 and are connected to an intake system apparatus 25 disposed therein.
Intake valves 26 and exhaust valves 27 that open and close the ports 23 and 24 are disposed inside the respective cylinder heads 14. Two valve driving cam shafts 28 (one for the intake valves and one for the exhaust valves) that open and close valves 26 and 27 are disposed parallel to the crankshaft 5 towards the rear of the respective cylinder heads 14. The cylinder heads 14 are covered by cylinder head covers 29.
Exhaust manifolds 31 which are an exhaust system are disposed inside triangular spaces 30 located on and bounded by the outside of the crankcase 16, cylinder blocks 15 and cylinder heads 14 (located outside the V bank 17) and on the inside of the engine cover 7. The upper ends of the exhaust manifolds 31 are connected to the exhaust ports 24, and the lower ends of the exhaust manifolds 31 are separately connected to the left and right side surfaces of the engine support 2.
Referring now to
Referring further to FIG. 4 and
Referring next to
A lower drive shaft insertion hole 42 is located between the left and right mount receptacles 41, and the drive shaft 9 passes there through. A secondary exhaust collecting passage 43 is located to the rear of the insertion hole 42.
The secondary exhaust collecting passage 43, having exhaust inlets on the left and right sides and a single central exhaust outlet 43 b, is formed as a substantially T-shaped passage (not shown in the figures) as viewed in the forward-rearward direction of the engine. The left and right exhaust inlets 43 a extend respectively obliquely rearward as seen in a plan view, perpendicularly to the axes 20 of the left and right cylinders 18, and converge in a central area of the engine support 2 to communicate with the exhaust outlet 43 b. The left and right exhaust inlets 43 a open to (and may extend from) the central portions of flat manifold joint surfaces 44 on the left and right side surface of the engine support 2. The exhaust outlet 43 b opens (and may extend from) about a central area of the undersurface of the engine support 2.
Connecting flanges 31 a on the lower ends of the respective exhaust manifolds 31 are joined to each manifold joint surface 44. The primary exhaust collecting passages 32 inside the exhaust manifolds 31 are configured to be generally aligned with the exhaust inlets 43 a, so that the primary exhaust collecting passages 32 and secondary exhaust collecting passage 43 communicate with each other. The exhaust outlet 43 b is generally aligned with the final exhaust passage 36 of the oil pan 4.
Accordingly, the exhaust gases discharged from both cylinder heads 14 of the V-type engine 3 pass through the exhaust manifolds 31 (primary exhaust collecting passages 32) and are collected by the secondary exhaust collecting passage 43. The exhaust gases are then released from the final exhaust passage 36 into an inner housing 8 a (see
The present invention has a number of benefits over known exhaust structures. For example, as the exhaust system of an V-type engine 3 is divided into left and right parts, it is necessary to attach respective exhaust manifolds 31 to the left and right cylinder heads 14. In the present invention, a configuration is used in which the exhaust systems of the exhaust manifolds 31 resulting from the division into two parts (i.e., the primary exhaust collecting passages 32) are gathered or converge (into the secondary exhaust collecting passage 43) inside the engine support 2. Exhaust gases are discharged through the oil pan 4 following this integration. Accordingly, the shapes of the engine support 2 and oil pan 4 are less complex than known systems, and only a single exhaust system (i.e., the final exhaust passage 36) is located in the oil pan 4, so that the capacity of the oil pan 4 may be sufficiently maintained.
Furthermore, the intake system 25 is disposed on the inside of the V-bank 17 while the exhaust manifolds 31 are disposed on the outside. When the manifold joint surfaces 44 are formed on the side surfaces of the engine support 2, the attachment of the exhaust manifolds 31 is easier, and the flow of the exhaust gases is linear and smooth.
Additionally, the left and right exhaust inlets 43 a that form the secondary exhaust collecting passage 43 extend obliquely rearward as seen in a plan view, in directions that are perpendicular to the axes 20 of the left and right cylinders 18 and converge in the center of the engine support 2. Accordingly, the exhaust inlets 43 a communicate with the exhaust outlets 43 b. Thus, they do not interfere with other parts such as the pair of left and right mount receptacles 41 and the lower drive shaft insertion hole 42.
Also, because the final exhaust passage 36 is located in a central area of the oil pan 4, the shape of the oil pan may be more flexible without compromising the amount of lubricating oil that can be accommodated therein.
Finally, by locating the exhaust manifolds 31 inside the triangular spaces 30, dead space is efficiently utilized.

A representative for the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office has denied prosecutors leaked witness statements about DR. CONRAD MURRAY's conduct in the moments after Michael Jackson's death.
Murray, the King of Pop's personal physician, stands accused of administering the powerful anaesthetic Propofol which led to the singer's death from a cardiac arrest last June (09).
He has pleaded not guilty to one count of involuntary manslaughter - but his actions immediately following Jackson's death have come under scrutiny after leaked documents obtained by the Associated Press (AP) appeared to suggest Murray stopped administering CPR to the star so he could hide various drug vials before calling paramedics.
In a witness statement allegedly from Jackson security guard Alberto Alvarez, taken two months after the star's passing, he claims Murray ordered him to place drug vials in plastic bags and remove an IV tube from the singer's leg.
The guard reports he additionally witnessed the cardiologist rushing to hide Propofol containers.
Rumours allege the AP obtained the legal papers from the L.A. prosecutors working on Murray's case, but Sandi Gibbons, spokeswoman for the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office, is "offended" by the mere suggestion of it.
She tells the New York Post, "I don't know what documents (the AP is) referring, and I cannot confirm what they have is authentic. But we do not leak things. I'm offended that there are allegations that we're trying to influence this."
Murray's lawyer, Ed Chernoff, has slammed Alvarez's alleged recollection of the fateful night, urging the public to "reserve judgement" until the physician can prove his innocence in court.
