After being on the road for 8 plus hours. We stopped at the Marriot in Belleville and were thrilled to see there was an East Side Mario's close by. We arrived at 8:30pm and the young hostest wasn't sure if we were allowed to dine in because they were closing in 30 Mins. She told us she had to speak to a manager. After 10 mins a young blonde girl with a grey shirt came and said that it was too late to dine in (8:40pm) because they close at 9:00pm and they would like to leave early as they have worked all day. I was very confused by this and asked what time the kitchen was open until, she replied 9pm. I said, so is it okay if we just sit at the bar, order and watch the game. She rolled her eyes, said we couldnt stay long and agreed to sit us. We later found out that she was not the manager, just another

We sat down and the bartender Cameron came over right away greeted us and was very friendly. We explained what and he informed us that we could take our time and not to feel rushed. We ordered drinks and food which came out fairly quick.. the calamari was great, as was the bread and salad even tho it came with no dressing. Took a while to get some dressing but not big deal.

We ordered pasta and meatballs as well as a pizza. Pasta was okay, nothing special. The pizza on the other hand was terrible. More than half of the pizza was just dough. Barely any toppings and could've been cooked a bit longer. We showed the bartender and he apologized and said he will get the real manager to compensate the poor food. Half of our meal was comp'ed which was nice.

We still had a full beer and were watching the last inning and a half of the Jays game when the same blonde girl who told us we originally couldn't dine in, turned off all the TVs and didn't ask if we were watching the game. It was only just after 930pm

Overall I'm not to upset about the food, as I am about the young girl who rude and clearly didn't want to serve us. As a business owner I would be furious if I had employees turning away customers before closing time. I don't want to feel rushed and unwelcomed when dining out. We made sure to tip Cameron, as he was great and that's why I didn't give a 1 star. Unfortunately I will never return ro spend money in this restaurants location. I hope the owner or Manager have a talk with that server and no one else has the same experience.
