We love coming to East Side Mario's, it's our favorite restaurant since 2009!
Today it was a busy evening in the restaurant but we didn't have to wait, they accommodated us in a very good place and we were blessed to have Lean as our waitress, she is the kindest and sweetest girl in the restaurant, she is very polite and very professional. She made our visit so pleasant and we are very grateful for her.

Called to place a reservation after their website guided me to. Once my call was received the women on the phone was unprofessional and hung up once telling me they do not take reservations. Please work on your customer service and update your website.

As always this restaurant never fails, 10/10 experience but the staff are why we keep coming back the most. Particularly I want to give a humongous shout out to Meggan, who went way above and beyond for me and my wife on our latest date. Her sense of humor, knowledge, over all energy was amazing.
If you want a memorable and delicious experience, eat here.

Manal (our server) is a star!
From our first introduction to her, she was kind, friendly, knowledgeable and great to interact with.
She was engaging with all of us, including my 9 year old daughter, who enjoyed their interactions immensely.
Highly recommend that she be seen as the standard for servers to work towards and be put in a position to train others.
She’s one of the really good ones. Management needs to hold onto her like grim death!
