    I am in complete awww of our experience with Kureha at this East Side Mario location. We haven't experienced amazing service like this in soooo long. Kureha was attentive, friendly, helpful, efficient, anticipated our needs before we did. Honestly coming from a 5 star hotel guest service background I am thoroughly impressed. What a memorable experience she made for us. This day and age spending money on extras is at times questionable, and I can honestly say this visit was money well spent . Side note!! The kitchen team did a phenomenal job too!! Food was great, timely, presented well. Thanks Soooooo much!!

    Came in the restaurant for some lunch and were greeted by the lovely Kate who was our server. We chose some pasta dishes from the lunch menu. It was plenty of food and very tasty. Kate recommended an Italian red wine which was very nice!

    Kids eat free Tuesday is great, and comfort here is primary reason. Sample platter was good with mozz sticks and chicken fingers. Tomato soup is the only consistent thing at ESM, and bread being fresh. But, wife's Chicken Parm was BURNT, and when I learned, it was late to send back. Spaghetti was bloated too. Pizza was lacking balsamic dressing and was quite hard. Oreo cheesecake just tasted wrong.
