East Side Mario's (Algonquin)

A rainy Wednesday evening greeted us at East Side Mario's Restaurant on Algonquin Road.

The maitre'd asked if we wanted to be sat at a table or a booth. I answered a booth since to me it sounds more friendly. Then he said he had to check if one was available. One of the women asked me why he would give us that option if he didn't know they were both available? I did not have the answer to that one.

Shortly he was back and showed us to our small but comfy booth.

The waitress was excellent, returning several times as we all had trouble deciding.

Once our order was given, the food quickly arrived and we were all happy with our individual choice.

Personally I found the sauce on the spaghetti to be a bit too sweet for my tastes but acceptable. Perhaps my trips to the Caruso Club have influenced me in this regard.

Unfortunately I forgot the ratings slips so you will just have to take my opinion that the food was very good and the quantities adequate.

Service was excellent and the bill was a reasonable $75.29 before taxes with one alcoholic drink included.
