"The service was great but the food was average. I went with my boyfriend for his birthday and we both didn't enjoy our food however the waitress was extremely nice. I would say go to check out the place but I personally won't go back for dinner. But I heard their bunch is good so might check that out someday."

"Mario's has some of the BEST Italian food I've found outside of Little Italy. Everything is exceptional and at a reasonable price given portion and quality of the food. Finding this restaurant was one of the best things to happen since moving here from NY. They never disappoint."

"Nice surroundings and comfortable seats. We ordered fish; but it was bland, would not order it again. However, the lobster bisque was to die for! The vegetables were tasty and rolls warm! Our waiter, Tim, was new; but he sure knew his business. He made our 44th anniversary a very pleasant experience and even set aside two creme brulee for us."

"The brunch menu was extensive but the taste on some of the items only so-so. Eggs Benedict had not enough sauce and some of the Mediterranean salads were too sour. But beyond that, excellent waffles and crepes as well as other dessert items. Salmon and meat station items were also very good. Omelets to order are also very well executed. So stay away from the prepared foods and go straight to the stations would be my recommendation.

Service was excellent, mimosa's and coffee included in the price continuously refilled although those were also slightly off. It's worth the price if you have a good appetite and a broad range of breakfast item interests in your party."

"Great dining experience. Very good menu includes a wide selection of pasta, seafood, and meat dishes. Superb wine list. Nice decor and ambiance, masks some of the noise and hub-bub from the busy restaurant. Overall, service was very good: bread, water, drinks, and food courses were all handled in a timely fashion. Fairly priced for the quality and experience, would recommend for nearly any occasion. Definitely going back."
