Good meal; not expensive
August 09, 2014We've been to this location many times, but this is the first time we didn't have a satisfactory experience. We were seated in about 10 minutes after we arrived, which was good considering it was very busy. We placed out orders and were brought our bread, but no knife to cut it with, so we used our bread knife. We... more

Good Looking from Afar but Far from Looking Good
March 30, 2014The serving sizes are very good and the food is typical franchise food but in this case over priced. The staff are friendly, but much less attentive to a table with two women than a table that has a man sitting at it. The atmosphere is pretty good, but the restaurant looks pretty run down. Cracked sinks in the bathroom,... more

Typical Chain Food But Good
March 08, 2014Use to go to the one at Oakville Place until the owner left town in a hurry under a cloud of mystery. However this place will due as it is a typical chain eatery but the food is always good. Met some friends around 8;00 p.m. and ordered a small salad as I had already eat at home with my... more

Horrendous experience
February 22, 2014This is one of the only times when I absolutely have to give a very low rating. To begin, the restaurant lost our reservation for a large group of people, so we waited a good 30 minutes before we were seated. Next, the walls were covered with framed photos that only made the room suffocating and not cozy. Our server... more

Get the fish order-Basa
January 18, 2014Here tonight with the family. Every one had a great time. Food was good and the service the same. The fish order of basa was the best.

More Than we could Eat
December 28, 2013We had made a reservation, so we were immediately seated. Our very friendly waiter made sure we were well looked after with re-fills of salad, soups and bread sticks. Our main courses of fish, steak and seafood were excellent. Although we were seated (booth) by the food serving thoroughway, it wasnt an issue. In retrospect it was probably an advantage.... more

surprised after looking over the reviews
November 29, 2013I usually use tripadvisor as my bible so im surprised at the negitive reviews. I have eaten at this location a few times and always have had very good service. The food has never differed from any other restuarants so I always happy to eat there.

Good food, poor service
August 23, 2013We were seated and then waited a very long time before anyone came by to take our drink order. We were then ignored for a long time and finally we were brought some bread. The waiter came by and said he couldn't remember what we had ordered. When our food came, my order was completely wrong. I ate some of... more

What do you get when you cross bad service, bad food and dishonest management
August 12, 2013
Where do I start?
My girlfriend and I arrived after 9pm as we intended to take place of the half price appetizers at that time. The hostess asked where we would like to sit and we told her that it didn't matter as we just wanted the half price appetizers. She seated us in the dining area.
We ordered our...

Go For Fun and Food
June 16, 2013We have eaten at East Side Mario's from the time of its original location in Oakville Place to the current location near Winston Churchill and the QEW and have always enjoyed the experience. The service has always been extremely friendly and the atmosphere fun ... 15 years of silly birthday song embarrassment, treasure chest trinkets and various wheels of fortune... more

Horrible
April 19, 2013
I just can't belive how this place is still open.
Service is bad, food is horrible.
I had the Pork Ribs. I could just put in the garbage.
My wife and kids had pasta. Horrible too. My kids love pasta, but they couldn't eat it.
If a kid can't eat what they like best, what is your conclusion?

Never mind the terrible service, the food could have made us sick
April 09, 2013
First time at this location. I arrived with a group of colleagues around 11:45 for lunch today and we were seated immediately. Got off to a great start and our waitress was attentive. Unfortunately as food was delivered, everything went downhill.
One of our party ordered a well done steak which arrived well cooked on one side and burnt black...

Bad food gone expensive
December 27, 2012
Stopped here for a bite on our way back to Buffalo from Toronto. There was not a thing about this rest that I liked -
Pasta e fagioli - no beans
Bread - straight out of the freezer
Salad - straight out of the bag
Pasta sauce - straight out of the can
Tab - wwwwway north of where it...

Worst restaurant in this plaza
September 17, 2012I visit the AMC plaza quiet frequently for various reasons. Every time I have come to this East Side's I have been extreamly dissapointed! Every single time I have to wait at the front for at least7-10min whetehr the place is busy or not. The food comes out cold, the servers never help me, and overall attitude of the staff... more

Best in this chain
June 25, 2012The best one of this chain...after I've tried at least 3other ones. Great atmosphere & decoration. Friendly service but may be a bit slow.

Just Terrible
June 06, 2012My wife and I stopped in here for a quick bite on Tuesday evening and it was plain awful. I have never written a review on anything before so it must have been bad. When we walked in the place was almost empty yet we were left standing at the entrance counter while two of the guys that I guess... more

awesome and cheap
April 28, 2012
Liked: The food is awesome and you get so much more then you pay for, which is a rarity. You get all you can eat soup and salad with your meal. The Italian wedding soup- delish! We substituted our salad for Caesar- yummy!
We both ordered the spaghetti, it was great.
Would go again for sure.

Chain restaurant Italian style
April 09, 2012As with most, if not all chain restaurants, good,but not great. Convenient and predictable. Good for large parties. Everything was good. Can't find any compelling reason to return. My fussy nephews were good with this style of food/restaurant

Kids eat free on Monday
January 18, 2012Way better than the east side in collingwood. Service is usually very good and food is generic but served hot. Kids always polish off their meals quickly. Unlimited salad is great.

Food was alright, menu changed from years ago
August 17, 2011We enjoyed the food alright. Sadly though some of our favourite foods can no longer be found on the menu (I guess everything chanes, huh?). Had a good night though and the service was very good too. We will likely visit again, but likely sometime in the next couple of years or so (like the last time).

Bad and Bad Again
August 16, 2011A group of us came one evening on a stat holiday and the service was terrible, place was dirty (got a napkin with someone's gum wrapped inside, cutlery and plates were dirty), and food was blah. I complained by e-mailing the manager because everything was unacceptable and she attempted to rectify the situation by giving me some compensation; however, the... more

nothing wrong - nothing outstanding
January 30, 2009
ES Mario's is in a big movie theatre and such mall along the QEW. There are a bunch of chain restaurants at the location and one of them is Mario's. There is really nothing wrong with this place, but there is nothing to really recommend it or make you long to return.
Emphasis is on decor, when they might have...

As many busy restaurants
April 08, 2008As many busy restaurants go - sometimes good customer service can be ignored... But the food is always good and you can't go wrong with unlimited soup, salad & bread!
