Tips: - This eatery has the most accessibility support that…read moreI have ever seen at any Swiss Chalet. - Collect Scene+ points here. - If you see roast beef being offered on the menu for a limited time, get some! As an undergraduate, I took the Bayview 11 bus from Steeles Avenue East down to Glendon College. I'd often see this Swiss Chalet on my left. I had never visited this eatery in my life. I felt like having dinner here after work on Monday and drove over here. This restaurant is in a plaza with a Your Independent Grocer. I need to visit this supermarket. I was about to park in a spot when a Canada Post vehicle decided to cut through it and another spot. It was so odd. It's a parking lot. Why can't you cut through it by aisle or row instead of actual parking spots?! I finally parked in a spot and walked in with a family of five. I felt like I was an honourary member! We all waited for someone to seat us. It took forever. One woman decided to poke her head around the corner. She let us know that three male staffers were talking and was "given a talking" to wait. It's the main reason why this eatery gets four stars. Eventually, a woman seated me and this family. I passed by this male group of three. They weren't talking about business or work. They were shooting the breeze. It showed that they didn't care about anything but their conversation. We got a female staffer who took me into the dining room first. I got seated at a table with a comfy booth-like bench. I got a menu to peruse. The family got seated at a table near mine. They needed a high chair and got one immediately. Irene was both my server and theirs. She was super efficient and competent. She was attentive and a wonderful server. I got the following items: - Diet Pepsi - Roast beef dinner with mashed potatoes and gravy, and veggies - Lemon meringue pie My Diet Pepsi came out first. It was icy cold and bubbly. I got refills throughout my meal. My meal came to me. It looked so good. It tasted yummy. I love the roast beef at Swiss Chalet. I wish it were on the menu permanently. It was so flavourful and tender, especially with the gravy. My meal came with a roll and butter. It was nice slathering the bread with butter and seeing the latter melt. Yummy! The mashed potatoes and gravy were comforting. I loved the gravy so much from both this side and the roast beef that I made sure my steamed veggies got dunked in gravy. They were perfectly steamed and needed more flavour, which the gravy provided. I felt like dessert and ordered the lemon meringue pie. The tartness of the lemony filling was excellent. The meringue on top was great. The crust looked too pale, almost as if it were raw, but it wasn't. I paid at the table. I entered my Scene+ number to earn points. I then tapped my credit card to pay. Done! I visited the women's washroom twice. The first time was after I had ordered my meal. It is a longer distance to get there, but I like how accessible this restaurant is. The corridor between the dining room and the washrooms was wide enough to accommodate customers using wheelchairs and walkers, which I witnessed often while I was dining here. This eatery does have a short ramp before you get to the main doors. There's a button to open the doors. Getting back to the women's washroom, there are railings in the washroom stalls for support. When I visited the washroom a second time, a woman was applying her makeup in front of the mirror at one of the sinks and had her walker behind her. There was enough space for both of us at the sink area with her walker. This eatery does accessibility a lot better than most. It's nice to see, especially for this well-established eatery. A high number of customers with walkers and wheelchairs were here when I was. It was nice to grab dinner here. I'll be back for more good eats. (256)

The Avocado Lox was a much better choice and the flat white was so so. We ended up paying $63 (tax & service charge inclusive), there are many more comparable choices at this price point.

Tip: The Monday special that features all-you-can-eat pasta when you buy a drink is decent. You can…read morestuff yourself silly for $19.99 when you buy a drink. It also comes with unlimited soup, salad, and garlic homeloaf. I don't frequent East Side Mario's a lot. In my lifetime, I've been at two locations and they are both permanently closed. It's not the best streak. Markham used to have one facing highway 7 at CF Markville Mall. It closed for good in 2018. Last year, the building got torn down. I don't get the seven-year delay. I visited the location near Dixie and Dundas Street East twice. One was for a Yelp event. The other was with colleagues. It was sad to see it empty for a few years. It's now open under a different restaurant name. I pass by this East Side Mario's on the south side of Steeles Avenue West often. Its patio had a bunch of daily specials advertised. I decided to take advantage of its Monday special a couple of Mondays ago after work. There is lots of parking in the lot. I parked. There's an entrance for takeout. If you want to dine it, you enter the doors that face Steeles Avenue West. Darya greeted me. She ended up being my server, doing bar and server duties at roughly 3:30 pm. She was great and super efficient. I got seated at a comfy booth by the bar. I got to watch various poker and basketball games during my time at this eatery. The special on Monday is all-you-can-eat-pasta when you buy a beverage. My getting a beverage is standard whenever I am dining in, so I easily said yes to this deal. I don't do well with unlimited pasta. I love pasta, but I can't down copious amounts of it. I'd end up in a carb coma and someone would need to get an Uber to get me home. I'd then need to figure out how to get back here to fetch my car. This meal came with all-you-can-eat soup, salad, and garlic homeloaf. It's quite the deal For $19.99. Out of all these items, I thought that I'd do well with unlimited soup. I don't have issues hydrating and downing liquids. I had never had any soup at East Side Mario's in my life, so I was game. I ultimately ordered these items: - Diet Pepsi - Garlic homeloaf - Spaghetti and Mario's meatballs - Creamy potato bacon soup - Italian wedding soup - Roasted garlic tomato soup I got my Diet Pepsi to start. It was cold and yummy. I got a refill during my stay here. The garlic homeloaf came out first. I liked that it wasn't massive. I slathered butter on each slice. The bread was warm and yummy. It wasn't super garlicky, but it was a nice starter. I'm glad that I didn't get another homeloaf. My bowl of spaghetti and Mario's meatballs had arrived. It was huge! The spaghetti was al dente. There was lots of bright tomato sauce that coated every spaghetti strand and meatball. The tomato sauce needed more garlic. Then again, I'm a bit different, wanting so much garlic that I ward off humans from talking to me. The meatballs were yummy and perfect. I had all three soups available. I had no problem enjoying them. I am a soup person. I wish I had had them sooner because they were all excellent. I started off with the creamy potato bacon soup. It was so comforting. It was like having a baked potato with bacon, but without any slicing or chewing. I loved it a lot. I then got the Italian wedding soup. The mini meatballs melted in my mouth. I loved the chicken broth with confetti pasta and spinach. It was excellent. The surprise for me was the roasted garlic tomato soup. It was sweet and garlicky thanks to the roasted garlic. The veggie broth had basil, fennel, and a touch was sweet cream. It was delicious. I'd go back for the soup alone. I had the trifecta and I keep thinking about returning for them. My server said that I did well with polishing off the soup and the rest of my meal. I was too stuffed to even look at the dessert menu! She brought the payment machine to my table. I paid with a credit card. I tapped and was done. I used the women's washroom before I left. It's located in the back right of the restaurant when you first walk into the eatery. It was clean and nicely maintained. I'm glad that I can finally say that I've been to an East Side Mario's, likely snapping a seven-year streak of not visiting one. I'll be back for more deals and good eats. Wednesdays have a $15.99 pasta or pizza deal, so I'll probably take advantage of that special next time. (409)
