    Dinner was excellent. Our server, KEONTAE was excellent! He addressed all of our needs, he was prompt and very polite. My only complaint would be the following. We purchased the Thursday special which included two meals for $50. When we were unable to finish our desserts, we asked to have them put in a box which was not a problem at all. When we returned home, we found out that the cheesecake did not come with Anything on it at all. It should’ve had the berries and sauce, but it was 100% plain. Would have been five stars if the dessert was completed.

    On Sat. Nov 8th 2025 around 430pm, We visited this location. We were a table of 4 and we all ordered our meals. We waited for some time for one loaf of bread while all the tables of 2 people around us got 2 loaves of bread delivered at the same time?? We had to request another loaf and more butter and waited again, never did receive more butter.

    Went for a large group for my teenage son’s hockey tournament. Service was great for a large group of 20+ adults and 16 year olds. Food was good and the overall experience was handled efficiently.

    We usually are very happy with the food at ESM. However tonight my husband ordered spaghetti with meatballs (with extra meatballs) and when it was delivered it looked like a child size portion. My husband spoke to the manager and he said that yes, that was the correct portion they are 8 ounce portions now. We have been going to your establishments for almost 30 years and have never been so disappointed in a meal as we were with this spaghetti. Every time we go now, the portions seem smaller and smaller and the prices are larger. Come on, one or the other not both. Looks like we won't be attending your establishments any more. How disappointing.

    Take out order, I arrived man from back kitchen popped head out to say hi then went back in, was looking around for a menu but there was nothing so was waiting for someone to come but no one did so I looked out into the dinning area and one of the girl saw me and came and she was able to get me a menu and as she did that a lady came out thanking the girl saying she was just on her way to help but if she had it she went back to the kitchen. Staff were nice but slow at 4:30 pm. I ordered the shrimp fettuccine Alfredo with wedding soup. It was out within 10 mins gave a tip as I paid and went home. Got home and the bread and soup was great but the partially uncooked pasta with hardly no sauce was not good at all. Very disappointing will never do take out again.
