We had a really good birthday experience at East side Mario's. They gave us super nice attention and all the staff was really open and friendly. We got there around 8 pm on a Tuesday, and there was no wait for 6 people. The decor gives off a italian pasta/pizza restaurant feel.
Their menu didn't have a lot of unique vegetarian options, but there was a bunch of things that could be customizable to be vege.
The complimentary bread is always so yummy. It's my favorite part of the experience. So soft and the butter really works well with it.
We ordered the steak but since they didn't have the option they instead gave two slices of chicken, which was really nice of them.
We also ordered the pasta and the fried eggplant. Both very delicious. Their pasta is definitely unique I think they make it from scratch in house.
We got free dessert which was a yummy chocolate sundae and the nice staff members sang us happy birthday. So cute!
