| - They did a great job with the renovations, I think I like this place better than it's southside location. The inside is clean, large and lined with tv's. We stopped here to dodge the rain during a bike ride and to catch some of the Pirates game.
The thing I always order at the other Mario's, the Tree Hugger (as a wrap) was on the menu, as well as a lot of other things I recognized from the other location.
Our bartender was awesome. She was very accommodating and on top of it. She noticed to people next to me that their food came out a little overdone, so immediately put another order in. She had to do the same for my dining partner, since his fries were almost black. We aren't picky, and weren't starving, so it wasn't a big deal at the time that our food took and hour. This could be a problem though. They were both sandwiches and a side salad. My tree hugger was great, everything I expected, but his turkey sandwich was cooked wrong (bacon undercooked, turkey dry and overcooked) and lacked avocado. So, the food department here still has some kinks to workout. The bartender mentioned that they have the same extensive menu as the other Mario's, but a tiny kitchen compared. That explains the slow service. It wasn't all that crowded either, so I can imagine the wait when it's busy...
Awesome bartender comped an order of drinks for the inconvenience.
I still like this place, location and the food and drinks, so will probably be back again, despite the kitchen dysfunction! Plus they have half price bottles of wine Tuesdays!! :)
