Excellent, attentive service and food is consistently good. This location is my go-to when I’m craving pasta!
The lasagna was heavenly. Our server was very kind, too. He went above and beyond for us (ie I asked to take the rest of our garlic bread home and he said he'd give us a fresh one) Very nice place
If we’re a big group, we usually end up here. The food here is decent and the service is always great! They always welcome big groups which is convenient! I love their wings, they’ve got their specials after 9pm, where you get half of wings when you purchase a drink! I tried their salmon strawberry salad, and it was delicious! Nothing too fancy, but a nice casual place for fam and friends.
We went there with our in-laws and the two kids. Food is quite good for a chain restaurant and the service was fast and they were very accommodating and patient with the kiddies. Great kids menu! Good for a casual family night out where you won't have to wait long to be served.
Confession time: I usually eat the same thing every time I go to East Side's - the Amatriciana. For about the last 20 years. Sad, I know.
Well, the moon must have been high yesterday, because I went with something new - Pesto and Peppers with Spaghettini and GOAT CHEESE.(I love goat cheese so much, I'd smear it in my hair. YUM.)This dish was definitely worth the visit, and I think I have found a new fave!!!Check me out - trying new things! It's a big day. :)
Go for the soup and bread!. When I go to East Side Mario's it is for the all you can eat soup/salad and bread. It's soooo good! I found it sad though that you need to buy a pricey bland pasta dish to have it. However, the waitress informed me that they sell the all you can eat at lunch and that I can just buy an appetizer and have the AYCE for a couple bucks. Great service!!
Gotta say after the menu revamp, it's not all that bad. A little pricey for what you get.
Kind of embarassed to admit it.... I am in love with the unlimited salad and bread. That's it!
When I feel like eating piles of Italian salad with grated fake parma cheese, and warm greesy garlic bread... I head straight to my local East Side Mario!
The food is okay, nothing spectacular.
The cocktails are good, and the daily cocktail specials are fun too.
I honestly go for the salad. I should just buy the dressing really, and make it at home :S
Great food. Our waiter was awesome. I believe his name was chris. We got prompt attentive service that we didn't expect to get at an east side's! Our pastas were piping hot and the salad was delicious! A pleasant experience and we will ask for chris by name next time my kids and I visit!
