“ I had the absolute pleasure of being served by Lexi, and let me tell you—she is a standout in every possible way. From the moment we were seated, Lexi made us feel genuinely welcome. Her energy was warm and professional, her timing impeccable, and her attention to detail flawless. She anticipated what we needed before we even had to ask, all while juggling multiple tables with ease and a smile. Lexi doesn’t just do her job—she elevates the entire dining experience. You can tell she takes pride in her work and truly cares about the customers. Servers like Lexi are rare, and any restaurant would be lucky to have her. Honestly, she’s not just doing a great job—she’s going above and beyond every shift. Give this woman a raise—she’s earned it ten times over. ”
“ I love East Side Mario's now more than ever after a recent visit due to our waitress named Kureha. She is the main reason that my husband and I will definitely choose this place over other restaurants in the future. She was fabulous! She was very personable, served us with a smile, made us feel at home and well looked after. We loved how patient she was when we needed more time to order and then how quick she was to accommodate all of our requests for entrees and drinks, etc. Her ability to do her job efficiently as well as interact with such positive energy and enthusiasm made our whole experience just over the top amazing! She is #1 in my books and there is no waitress I bet who can top her skills and charm. Her customer service skills impressed us greatly! Oh and of course, thank you for such delicious food as well! All the best, Sarah :) ”
“ Had a really enjoyable dinner at East Side Mario’s. The food was fresh, flavourful, and came out quickly. Our server, Jasmine, was super friendly and easy to talk to. She checked in at just the right times and made sure everything went smoothly without feeling rushed. Little things like that really elevated the night. Will definitely be coming back. ”
“ Love the atmosphere and vibes this location brings off! Cozy and at home feeling, the food was delicious and served in a timely manner. Large portions for reasonable prices as well, our waitress Kate was amazing! Always coming by to check on us, and helped us with some dietary needs when ordering. Definitely recommend this location! :) ”
“ We are a family of 4 and decided to treat ourselves to East Side Mario's tonight at the Orillia location. The food and the atmosphere were great but I especially want to make sure that our server Kate gets the recognition she deserves. She not only does her job well, but it's very evident that she strives to go above and beyond to give guest the best dining experience possible! I could tell a lot of this is because of who she is as a person! I like to give credit where credit is due and it definitely is in this case. I truly hope the owner reads this and realizes that she truly is an asset to the restaurant! Make sure you treat her as well as she treats your guest and never take her for granted. ”
“ We had a such a nice lunch here today . We had the pleasure of having Kureha as our waitress, and she was so great! She was super kind, and very attentive to my 3 children. What a wonderful experience. She came back many times to make sure we had everything we needed/wanted and she always had a smile on her face. Even my kids were saying how nice she was. We will definitely be back! ”
