    Thank you, East Side Mario's! Because of your prompt response, I am going to increase my rating by 2 more stars. Cleanliness: The table was wet and sticky. Even after the waitress wiped it down again, the issue remained. ​Service Oversight: She offered cheese for our pasta but forgot to bring it. ​Table Maintenance: After we finished our soups, we left the empty bowls at the side of the table. Despite seeing them, she never cleared them away. ​She almost forgot to bring our dessert. ​Gratuity & Note: Despite these service issues, we still left a 15% tip because we believe she might be a student and are sharing this feedback purely to help her improve.

    When we arrived, I was greeted with a high positive energetic server that sat us at the perfect table after our hard day at the hospital. Hannah (our server) made our day with her wonderful smile & high energy that we needed. She made sure everything went perfect & made sure we had everything we needed to make our day that we needed. Thank you so much to have a person working with your company to make ppl smile & turn our frowns upside down when people needed. Hannah helped us in many ways & she didn't even know it. Thank you again & we will certainly will come back. Craig

    I don’t normally leave reviews, especially negative ones, but I felt this experience was worth sharing. I also want to acknowledge that everyone has off days, and I have no way of knowing what our server, Rose, may have been dealing with personally. This review isn’t meant to define her as a person, and it won’t stop me from visiting again. I simply felt it was important to share because no customer should leave feeling the way we did. From the moment we sat down, Rose seemed unhappy to be serving us. She made comments while checking my ID that came across as unprofessional and made me feel uncomfortable. Throughout our meal, we were largely ignored. My friend didn’t receive the drink they ordered until after we had finished eating, and we often felt overlooked. At the same time, we also felt rushed through our meal. The overall experience left us with the impression that we were being judged because we’re young adults (we’re all 20). It felt as though there was an assumption that, because of our age, we wouldn’t tip or weren’t worth the same level of attention. Whether that was the intention or not, that’s how the service came across. To end the experience on an even more disappointing note, when my friend went to pay, Rose abruptly snatched the cash out of their hand. It came across as unnecessarily rude and left us feeling even more unwelcome. I understand one interaction doesn’t represent an entire restaurant, and I genuinely hope this was just an off day. I simply believe every customer deserves to be treated with the same respect and attentiveness, regardless of their age.

    All I can say is WOW! From the time we came into the restaurant to the time we left we were treated so well. We did have to wait because the place was blocked but it was a shorter wait time than the hostess (Kate) told us. She was so fantastic, very upbeat and super friendly too. Then we had our server (Breanna, I think that was her name) was super amazing. It’s like she could read our minds. Lots of napkins, came to the table just as we needed another salad and our food was delicious and served hot. I was amazed especially how packed it was in there. Definitely a 15/10. I haven’t had service like this since well before Covid days. Thank you all for making our outing to town so enjoyable! We will definitely be back.

    We drove from downtown to dine in and arrived an hour before close. We were told we needed to order take out. They did have a condensation issue and closing soon so somewhat understandable with that combined. We walked in and waited with another couple for quite some time before anyone even greeted us. Then we were asked to order take out, which was cold by the time we got back to our hotel by the harbour. They may want to keep in mind not everyone coming in is coming from the hotel attached and it's not as simple to just take out. When we did get back to eat it, we had to microwave it and we were missing our appetizer (garlic dip) which we paid for. Overall it's our second not so great experience when coming to St.Johns ESM so we won't go back and will support local businesses. Alexander however, was who took our take out order and his service was good. The others including the Manager could use some service etiquette training.
