My wife and I were very disappointed with our visit to this East Side Mario's location. They took a long time to seat us, and the service was spotty.
We both ordered the veal sammy. I had ordered this particular sandwich a few years back at the Bowmanville location, and it was amazing.
Well it was not amazing here in Pickering. Instead of being on a kaiser, it was on tasteless ciabatta bread. There was only one pithy slice of veal, and there were far too many red onions. As well there was a spice/flavour that tasted absolutely awful and made it almost inedible.
When we asked about it, our server explained that the menu had changed due to the minimum wage increase. One of the changes was the bread, and portion of this particular sandwich. Of course it still showed the old style in the actual menu! Totally false advertising.
The garlic bread that they brought us was the only saving grace of the meal.
We were very disappointed and will never eat at East Side Mario's again.
