Arrived at East Side Mario’s for dinner at 8:55pm, the restaurant wasn’t very busy and the hostess’s seat was empty. There was a sign that says please honk the attached horn for service. Our group honked the horn and we waited about 5 minutes for someone to come to the desk. Once we were seated, we ended up waiting 20 minutes before flagging down a staff member to ask who our server was.
By the time our server came, who did not introduce herself, she told us the bar was closed. We place our order and she brings out the soup and salad with no cutlery on the table. She said she would be right back with the cutlery and we had to flag her down from cleaning tables and other tasks to ask for help again. We also inquired about the garlic bread and she said that they are out of bread and that we were at last call. At this point, we asked why did no one tell us when last call was when seated. We decided to take our meals to go and the server assumed we were going to just leave the soup and salad we did not have cutlery to eat. And had to ask for containers for them.
I understand we came in a little late, but the staff had poor communication. The staff member we flagged down after our 20 minute wait was the hostess. She assured us someone was coming soon but did not talk to our server. At the very end when paying the server walked off with our card and had to come back to our table to give it back. Frustrating experience and would not recommend this location.

Came to celebrate my birthday using the promotion for a free pasta, and Erica made it a tremendous experience for my son and family! She was incredibly attentive, bringing extra drinks and napkins before we even asked, while keeping us fully stocked with complimentary soup, salad, and breadsticks. Her outstanding service made our celebration extra special!

Not sure if it’s the service, or the kitchen staff, or both, but everything took forever today. It took 45 minutes to get our soup and salad. Our server barely gave us any attention. We had to ask for cutlery twice. Salmon was burnt. Funnel cake was overcooked and hard. Our drinks were not refilled. Food came way too late. We asked for a small cake slice and candle for our dad and they forgot, and we reminded them, and at the end they came and gave it and sang to the wrong person.
Even my Dad who is usually very positive was disappointed.
Sad experience. No quality control. Service staff doesn’t give a care. Not coming back.

We had such a wonderful experience celebrating my dad’s birthday, and Alexa was absolutely fantastic! She was friendly, attentive, patient, and made sure our whole table was taken care of throughout the meal. She really helped make my dad’s birthday feel special, and her service was a big part of making the celebration enjoyable. Thank you, Alexa, for making our evening so memorable! We truly appreciated you!
