   My family and I recently dined at this Oakville location. We were treated with great service throughout our meal. Everyone was very courteous. This restaurant takes pride in customer satisfaction. And not to mention the quality of food was the best of any East side Mario's. Thank you for a wonderful feast!

   The hostess didn’t say hello to us, just asked if our party was already there… you tell us?? You’re the hostess! Are they here yet? We have a reservation so just seat us! The server barely said two words to us.. we were more engaging than she was.. and then they brought out our gender reveal cake, which was cut, icing facing out and lighting candles in it, singing happy birthday. The box said what was inside and I also explicitly told them as well - and asked them just to bring it out in the box to avoid confusion, which apparently was too confusing for them. Not a great experience lol

   Our server was excellent, I believe her name was Steff. Very attentive and efficient. We were pleased with the size of the included side Caesar salad, in a generous separate bowl. We had the Alfredo and the Veal Parmesan sandwich...both were very good. As a side note, this location has lots of free parking.

   Normally I love going to this restaurant but service has gone really downhill. We waited a good ten minutes before anyone acknowledged we were there. The kids food came and the kids finished eating before any adult meals were served, and the waitress kept talking to us like we were little kids. And the washroom was so gross it made me question the cleanliness of the place. I won’t be going back for long time.

   We use to go to East Side Mario frequently and food was always good. After our last experience, I don’t believe our family would like to visit this restaurant. Service was ok but Quality of the food was poor, no taste, no flavour. If I compare to other Italian restaurants like Scaddabush food will rate 4 here will be 1.

   Usually I like East Side Mario’s but they were clearly understaffed tonight. Had a reservation at 7pm got sat abruptly and then waited 18 minutes for a server to show up (because we waved them down) the server never brought waters or bread, took some drink orders and disappeared for another 15-20 minutes. She wasn’t able to answer any of our questions, our pasta came with a thick chunk of butter in the middle which she said would melt. But the pasta came cold so it never melted… my meal was delicious so I can’t complain there, and the drinks were okay, I wouldn’t recommend the peach Bellini because you pour the sparkling wine in yourself and spend a good 5 minutes going back and forth waiting for the fizz to chill out. Moral of the story, don’t go on holidays. This is otherwise and nice restaurant with some great food. And usually a favourite spot of ours. But Valentine’s Day was brutal.

   Getting a seat was quick and easy. Food came out quick and was really good. Our booth wall was filthy from days prior. Salt and pepper shakers as well as menu were Gungy.  drink service was way too slow. 25 minutes passed since the waitress asked if we were done and getting our bill.

   My kids love this place but each time we’ve been they manage to add an extra drink charge (soda) to bill and then claim they didn’t realize the mistake. It happened again this time and I didn’t feel like looking cheap so I just accepted it. Plus the service is really slow and the food is not great. I probably wouldn’t recommend this place because for the same price you can eat much better food elsewhere.
