    I had a wonderful first experience at East Side Mario's. The pasta was excellent and our server, Caryn, was attentive. Despite being extremely busy, she took the time to notice my birthday card on the table and surprised me with cake and a wheel spin for a free appetizer. I greatly enjoyed my dinner and look forward to returning soon. My only suggestion would be to offer a small loaf of complimentary warm bread when we are first seated. It was part of my meal so I was able to share it with my friend.

    Les pâtes étaient trop cuites avec une sauce trop tomate (acide et pas assez d'assaisonnement). La soupe tomates n'était pas assez onctueuse. Difficile de se dire restaurant italien dans ces conditions.

    Food was very good, service was a little slow and did not come back to ask how things were or offer refills, had to flag down. Other than that an excellent place to eat

    We had a great time at East Side Mario’s! I got the cheese Capaletti and it was delicious! Our waitress was named Jade and she was very sweet, and super fast! Can’t wait to visit again!

    East Side Mario’s (Bayers Lake) — September 7, 2026 ​If you are looking for an exceptional dining experience where you feel genuinely cared for from the moment you sit down, the East Side Mario’s in Bayers Lake is the place to be. We arrived today around 4:15 PM, and from start to finish, this was hands down one of the absolute best visits we have ever had at any location. ​The standout highlight of our entire afternoon was our server, Rae. She was completely on point, attentive, and consistently went above and beyond to make sure we were well taken care of. Anyone who frequents East Side Mario’s knows that the endless soup, salad, and garlic bread setup requires a server who is fast on their feet and detail-oriented—and Rae delivered flawlessly. She never let our soup bowls go empty, nor did she ever let our drinks dry up. Before we even had to think about asking for a refill, she was already right there at the table anticipating our needs with a smile. ​Beyond her incredible efficiency and sharp attention to detail, what truly elevated our visit was Rae’s warmth and hospitality. She didn’t just provide great service; she made us feel like family. That level of genuine care and welcoming energy is rare to find, and it turned a simple early dinner into a memorable outing that completely made our day. ​If management at the Bayers Lake location reads this, know that you have a absolute gem on your team. Rae sets the gold standard for what hospitality should look like, and because of her, we are already looking forward to our next visit!
