Very rushed. Came in at 6.20 and was done at 7.00 pm. Everything seems very rushed.
It is definitely not a place to come for a relaxed dinner. No time to savour the appetizers. To top it of they Did not even have my reservation which I made a hour ago. Very very disappointed dining experience

We were staying in town for a Flames game to celebrate my husband’s birthday and decided on East Side Mario’s for lunch with the family. All 3 of my children enjoyed the colouring, kids menu, and speciality drinks. The breadsticks, soup, salad, and pasta were also delicious with generous portions to the point where we had lots of leftovers. Our server, Dona, was excellent and when I mentioned we were celebrating, I had no idea it would result in a song, dessert, card, and voucher for a free meal! Dona also asked if I had a SCENE card, which resulted in a savings I didn’t realize was available with my points. She not only saved me money but took the time to take a family photo of all of us. Thanks for the great food and we were grateful for Dona! We will return again on our next visit.

Came here for our daughters birthday. Jesh was our server - couldn't ask for a better one. On point, attentive, extremely friendly, was surprised she's only been in the industry for three years. Brought our kid out a birthday cake to our surprise. Food was great, hot, massive portions. As a Chef, I'm not a big fan of chain restaurants but this place sets a standard. Excellent for kids. Would 100% come here again. Well done.

The food was great and the service was excellent. East Side Mario's must of had a policy change. This is my second visit in a couple of months and both times the salads/soups and bread came to the table promptly. The serving size of the bread was 1 loaf per 2 people. They used to just give 1 loaf. We had enough time to eat the salads/bread and have more before our mains came out.
Our service and timing from Dona/kitchen staff was great.
