There was a live band who were amazing, the place was packed. Great service, great atmosphere. I didn't have food so unfortunately will have to rate on what others said, which was that it was really good. It was my first time there and I will definitely go back, and I'll also try the food!

Went to this local Italian restaurant as a high recommendation from a local and wow! Was I surprised! The atmosphere is comfy and friendly where everyone was happy to gather somewhat together again and enjoy this delicious food. I ordered the Linguine El Pollo and the house beer and both were so amazing! I highly recommend it to anyone visiting to support the local restaurant community.

Mauro's is a nice local pub with great atmosphere, kind service and pretty good food. I had the chicken cordon bleu, the chicken it self was good but the pasta was not really the best - but you have other options including a baked potato - which they are willing to load up with all the fixings. Overall a great place to have in a nice neighbourhood.

We first went here for the live music and I was impressed with the appetizers that we returned a week later for supper. I started with the corn chowder and was really impressed with how the corn was crispy and sweet. I then had the 2 Piece Fish and Chips and the fish was firm Cod that you could tell was freshly coated before cooking. The meat was firm and the coating was tasty and not greasy. My wife had the Fettuccine Alfredo with Ceaser salad and said it was fantastic. I did not expect this quality for the price.

I ordered seafood skins on dec 11 at 5 pm and they were gross I order them quite often . This cook that was on again that night was one that they used before and he could not cook then. The others lay cook was a awesome cook and made them the best and they would be HOT when I got home 2 blocks away by car. The seafood was cold no cheese it did not look good. My husband I both threw over half of each of our skins away as there were the WORST EVER From Mauro Restaurant that cook needs to be fired or put down to dishwasher but he s no cook. Seriously thinking if we will ever order from Mauris again and we ordered from there at least once a week being in my neighborhood and so close ad usually has good food but the quality of food has gone done hill badly.

December 22, 2018

Extremely disappointed with not only the service but the whole experience. My family was down from Calgary and we decided to make reservations with Mauros for NYE. When we asked any reccomendations for popular pastas on the menu our waitresss answer was I dont know. My sister asked her how a certain dish was, whether the sauce is creamy, and again she was extremely rude saying No idea with no other suggestions about any items on the menu. We also asked about the beer and wine list and again she gave the I dont know. I dont expect the waitress to know all the items on the menu however she could be more friendly and give opinions and suggestions on what has been popular and what people order alot of. Once we had ordered I informed our waitress I had a severe nut allergy. I had ordered the chicken alfredo. She came back to me and said the sauce had nutmeg but they could use another sauce which was garlic. I agreed. Ten minutes later she came back saying the kitchen cant guarantee anything and wont make anything separate for me. So I asked for a hamburger plain and she rudely answered I cant guarantee anything. The only thing you can have is plain steak no sauce and potatoes. We didnt order and left Mauros immediately. I have been to many restaurants who are very sympathetic and accomodating with nut allergy or any allergy for that matter. I felt completely disregarded and basically was sensing that she did not want us eating there once I had informed them of my nut allergy. I would not recommend this place as it was very unwelcoming from the start and clearly customer service is not a priority for all. If I could I wouldnt give this place 1 star. Very disappointing especially on New Years Eve.

If you cant handle a burger and fries, you have no business serving food. My burger arrived with a bun that literally fell apart when I picked it up. While the server went to get a replacement, I found a long brown hair integrated with my fries (not on top, literally threaded in the fries). My partners pasta dinner was tasteless and not enough sauce was provided. It was supposed to be four-cheese pasta, but we could not find any filling in the ravioli. My biggest problem was with the owner, who we were told was on-site and was conversing with our server. When a customer has so many issues at one meal (bun, hair, overall food quality), the owner/manager should come out and deal with it. Sending your wait staff out to do your job for you out was very poor form. We also got the impression there was a bit of confusion on the restaurants end as to where the hair came from. My bald self and my red-headed girlfriend didnt quite know how to take that. We were polite and reasonable throughout the whole thing. I will end with a commendation to our server. She had a bad situation, and dealt with it in a friendly, albeit chagrined, manner. Good on her for that.

I placed an order for pickup. I had ordered the seafood melt which is advertised as being served on French bread. I received it on Texas toast, I felt like I was highly mislead. If I would have known it would have been served on a mere piece of bread I would not have ordered. I felt ripped off for the price I paid. Also the weight of the seafood is too heavy for Texas toast, French bread as advertised however would be sturdy enough for such a heavy topping. When I called to inquire about this, thinking perhaps it was an honest mistake I was told that it was served in Texas toast. I said that was not what I expected as it said French bread on the menu. That s what we serve it on so that s what people expect . Sorry but I expect what your menu says. The food was overall alright. I don t think it was worth my money though. I strongly dislike dishonest businesses. Particularly those who don t try to remedy their wrong doing when spending a decent amount on food. At least McDonald s would fix their screw up.

Love it. I usually get a burger and I would say the best burgers in town. Thick patties, good flavor, a double isnt required buuuuut go for it anyway. You know you want to. I have tried their chicken caesar before. The lettuce/dressing was meh but the chicken had some very unique spices. Wont be my regular but I would still recommend you try it at least once. My girlfriend had the chicken alfredo pasta. I dont remember which one specifically but it was good too. The price is right. Karaoke on Saturdays is funny. I feel the area around the restaurant looks sketchy/older, but the inside is really nice. Its hard to say what specifically sets it apart but it is one of my preferred places to go to eat in MH. It has little extras like VLTs, TVs, pool, Karaoke. Aside from Karaoke night its always a quiet atmosphere during normal meal times (not sure if it gets rowdy around midnight or not). Honestly the main reason I keep going back is the food. The staff is nice too but I have always enjoyed my meal there. I havent tried everything on the menu, but Ive enjoyed everything Ive tried.

Went there for the first time today for a late lunch. Ordered the spinach ravioli which was disgusting. Way too rich; basically all sauce - far too thick (and Im a pasta lover of all types - rarely find a pasta I dont enjoy). I couldnt taste the spinach at all so I started opening the ravioli and low and behold, all there was were sprinkles of spinach that look just like pepper (the same size). My husband ordered a cheeseburger and it sucked as well. When the server, Shirley, came back to the table she noticed that I barely touched the ravioli. I told her the problem; hoping she would not charge us for something this bad (most half decent restaurants gladly do this so youll come back and for good customer service). Not at thing was done. We wont be returning. The fresh pasta you buy in the grocery store tastes much better and my husband said that he would have rather had a fast-food joint hamburger; and he doesnt even eat from fast-food restaurants!! We also had to wait for our bill while the server played the gambling machines with another customer.
