   We have ordered this special on Thursday nights 2 can done for $50.00, and we always enjoyed it. Last night we had it for Valentine’s day. First my wife's wine glass was cracked. Then we ordered our meal, usually we have time to eat our appetizers, but within a couple of minutes they brought out our main course, we felt rushed. Then at the end I paid the waiter in cash and he asked if I wanted my change, I said yes please and he kept naming off amounts for his tip, my wife then said bring it all. He stood there waiting for his expected tip, I always leave a tip, but this time he urked us the wrong way. We gave him half of what I normally would have gave. All waitresses and waiters are always happy with the tip we leave, but this gentleman went about it the wrong way. Also no apologies for the cracked glass. As usual though the food was excellent.

   Everything was good. Only issue was there aren't enough servers. Servers can't keep up. It's unfair to them. Everything is expensive everywhere. So while not worse than others it still costs a lot. Our server was friendly and accommodating. Checked on us to make sure everything was OK.

   We had a fantastic dinner tonight and our waitress Jennifer was fantastic! This has turned into our go to East Sides location over the past few years and been very happy with the food and service.

   We went for New Year’s Eve and they had a fun early countdown on for younger children at 5pm and 7pm. There was face painting and a balloon drop, our kids loved it and it was a nice touch to make the night special. The restaurant was quite busy but service was good and the food came out fairly quickly. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Overall a good experience and we will be visiting again.

   I ordered the sampler dish it had lasagna Alfredo noodles and a chicken parm it was delicious. The husband really enjoyed the chicken parm with spaghetti. The service was great.

   Our poor waitress. She was obviously overwhelmed, constantly apologizing about how the kitchen was running behind. We had made reservations (obviously) and felt like we had walked into a war zone. We arrived with 1.5 hours to eat ahead of when we had to leave to make it to a show we had tickets for. Our group of 5 let her know upon arrival. She was dubious that she could make it happen. We had great empathy for our server, but it just got worse. The food came out wrong - twice. Some of it was hot, some of it was cold. We waited 20 minutes for butter to accompany our bread. For a $200 meal the only reason I tipped was because I felt bad for the waitress. East Side Marios won't get another dime out of me.

    Took a long time to get food and it looked like it was standing under a heating lamp for an hour…not fresh.
