"ESM is one of the older restaurant chains around and is clearly showing its age. \n\nJust take a look at the well handled and poorly cleaned menus that have never been updated. I swear I was ordering from the same one when I was 16 and being dropped off at the movies by my parents. \n\nThe interior hasn't changed in the last decade+ either. I'm not even sure it's been cleaned thoroughly either as every photo on the wall has smudge finger prints all over them. \n\nNotwithstanding all of the above criticism, we had a very pleasant meal tonight. Our waiter, Zach, was attentive and very sweet. An excellent balance of checking in and leaving us alone. Which is a lost art! \n\nIn terms of the food: The salad was fresh and exactly the way I ordered it. My personal pizza was delicious!!! My bf enjoyed his pasta. \n\nOverall, ESM is sorely in need of a re-branding and a little innovation."^^ . "3"^^ . "1"^^ . . . . "0"^^ . "0"^^ .
