Mario's Early Toast — Restaurant in Cameron Park

I enjoy dining at the Mario's Early Toast (MET) in Folsom. So when I heard that they opened a new location in El Dorado Hills, I went to check it out. But unfortunately they sat us at the booth in front of the open kitchen counter where the servers pick up the food orders. With a full house of customers, it was so LOUD. I couldn't hear the person across the table from me. I could however hear the kitchen staffs order/conversations, the clanging of kitchenware, the servers shouting to the kitchen staff and vice versa, and the servers conversations amongst themselves. And add the noise from the adjoining booths conversations... yikes it was noisy. Since it was a full house, there were no other available tables without waiting again. So we stuck it out. But by golly, they need to reconsider seating folks at that table. Or at least warn them. I would have been fine to skip that table and wait a bit longer for another.

I ordered my favorite MET "dessert-ish" breakfast, the Maui french toast. It was delicious. Caramelized bananas, chopped nuts, shredded coconut and drizzled caramel sauce over vanilla battered French toast. But by the time I got my food, I had a massive headache from all the loud noises and not feeling it to enjoy my meal. Hubs ordered a cheeseburger and asked for it to be well done.

Desi is the guy 😂. He put up with my girlfriend’s attitude as it’s her 46th birthday and she ordered numerous mimosas🤦🏻‍♀️.

The drinks were fabulous, we had the “French Kiss”, the “Cinderella” and the “Hawaii” she wasn’t thrilled with the Hawaii so she ordered the “French Kiss” again.

Food was amazing as always, ordered the Viscontis avocado toast…..lol I saw it’s named after Frank Visconti, which is another amazing restaurant I frequent 😋

Also had the HUGE protein pancake but added chocolate chips because why not💁🏻‍♀️ and “protein style” like Jason Salinas who trains an old friend of mine😉

Great birthday get together and thanks again Desi for putting up with my girlfriends birthday...
