Typically my reviews don’t start with a history, but I feel like I must in this situation. Mario’s East Side Saloon is located at the former location of Doc’s.

I've lived near Michael's Restaurant & Lounge for over a decade now and just have never stopped in. I was never sure what to expect, and it just never popped into my head when it came to places to go eat or drink. I'm honestly very glad I stopped in. The service was top notch and the food choices were just as excellent as the food itself. While the menu is Italian influenced, there are a lot ...Read more
