   We got there and waited 20 minutes and when we asked how much longer they said the needed 10-15 more minutes until we can get out table. We walked out after that.

   2 of the 4 plates came out cold and dry. They must of sat for 20 minutes while waiting for others to be ready. This shows complete lack of organization and timing for multiple plates.

   We had a very nice time. The service was excellent and our server, Emily was very friendly and sincere. The food, as usual was delicious . We love that the bread and salad are included with the entrees. No other restaurant we have found offers this. Thanks for a great dining experience!

   For many years we enjoyed dinning at East Side Mario's but, two visits in the last two months has convinced us that there is no need for any future dinning there. Last night, we were seated in a timely manner, and within 2 minutes the waiter was at our table asking us if there was anything we would like to drink, before we even had a chance to look at the menus. After drink orders were finally sorted out, our dinner orders were taken. Almost immediately two small loaf sticks of bread and a tiny bowl of butter, for 5 dinners, was brought to our table. What was not brought was cutlery and bread plates, leaving all of us to just stare at the bread. A few minutes later the plates and cutlery showed up but some dinners found that they had to wipe down their cutlery as they weren't exactly clean. Salads were delivered to the table and two of the salads had a miniscule of dressing on them. Extra dressing was requested, and before that dressing appeared, with the other salads less than half eaten, the main entrees were delivered to the table. It was all a case of "here's your hat, what's your hurry". Considering all of the above, plus the fact that the Caesar dressing, which used to be Renee's, has been substituted in the restaurant for something that was practically unpalatable, and one of the diner's pasta dish barely had enough sauce to colour her food, our patronage of any East Side Mario's has come to an end.

   Good meal at reasonable prices. The servings were large enough that all of us needed containers to take some home and finish the next day. The only downside was that in spite of the restaurant being nearly empty, we had to wait a long time for our server to come around.

   Last night my family and I visited this location and I don't even know where to begin. It took about 10-15 mins to be greeted by our server, then another 10 on top of that to receive our drinks (there were 3 sodas and a water) to which the sodas tasted like tv static... no syrup. We ordered mains that came with all you can eat soup or salads, we went with salads and asked for extra dressing on the side. Salads came with old soggy lettuce, no dressing, we had to remind our server about 3 times that we had asked for extra dressing. Not long after that we received our mozza sticks which were the only redeeming factor for this meal lol. We then got our meals (3 chicken parms + 1 veal parm) ...well what we thought was going to be our meals ended up being 3 plates of chicken no pasta?? The server had told us that it was coming out not long after?? 10 minutes, im not kidding, 10 minutes later we received the pasta that was originally supposed to come with the chicken/veal lol. Chicken tasted like horsemeat, server forgot extra sauce, never asked for refills and overall was a poor choice for a restaurant on my part. Very disappointed.
