I asked for Salmon Oreganata. What I received was blackened Salmon with breadcrumbs. It was a bit on the dry side. The risotto was gummy and tasteless. Wait not tasteless it was bland. The chef put chunks of scallions in it which was gross and aside from that there was no flavor. I tried adding salt but couldn’t stomach. The best part of the meal was the asparagus.
The management should reevaluate the chef. Higher a better cook.
Decided to have dinner at Mario’s (4 adults 1 child) before watching the ball
drop with friends at home.
Arrived for a 10pm reservation made through Open Table, requesting a seating in the bar area. We were told that all tables in the bar area were reserved, although NO ONE was in there during the entire almost 2 hours that we were in the practically empty dining room.
After waiting for almost a half hour for our drinks to arrive, our server accidentally dumped her tray of drinks into our laps and our salads. We had to move to another table and wait for another 20 minutes for new drinks to arrive before they finally took our food order.
The New Year’s menu was rather sparse, offering only 3 appetizers and 4 entree choices. Worse yet, the “baked clam” app was no longer available, leaving only calamari or mozzarella sticks to choose from (neither of which I care to eat). But the most disappointing was when we were told that everyone’s preference of the “surf & turf” entree was also no longer offered, leaving only a choice of chicken parm w/ day-old penne, overcooked salmon or eggplant rollatini (with the same day-old penne).
Our 3 year old ordered “chicken fingers” that were delivered LAST and at a scalding temperature, which ended up un-eaten (like most of our food this evening).
The “Red Sangria” specialty drink that featured Brandy but had nothing better than fruit juice. And with all the waiting we did for our food to arrive, the wifi was poor (to be kind).
Our plea (because it was 11:35 on New Year’s Eve) to wrap the canoli deserts and bring the check quickly was obviously met with disinterest as we had to present ourselves to the manager (at 11:50) with our coats on, begging for our $300 bill. The Manager was clueless as to any of our issues (including the cocktail bath) despite their only having 2 other tables that evening.
I used to love Mario’s and was expecting an entirely different
experience, not this New Year’s Nightmare. Goodbye Mario’s.
