   We were sat promptly with a reservation. Our waiter was attentive although she did bring the wrong drink and our drinks in general took around 10-15 mins to come out. Bread service was really good. Atmosphere was really cool but it would have been better if we weren’t so close to the other table the noise was really loud. My girlfriend loved her food and filled her up she got the salmon piccata. I got the lemon spaghetti dish it was good! Although I wish it was a bigger portion size. It didn’t fill me up which is what i expect for paying $20 for a pasta dish. The price for portion was not equivalent. We got the smoked honey apple cocktail and we both loved it. Overall a good experience.

   Our waitress Amber was great! I ordered the Gnocchi with pesto and I really didn’t like it but I ate the rigatoni with vodka sauce that my husband ordered and it was amazing. The salad and bread was also very good. The tables were very close together which didn’t provide a lot of privacy and didn’t feel like an intimate dining experience. It was very noisy and I could barely hear my husband talking. The place is just so beautiful but there are just too many tables in a small room.

   The restaurant had a large party that were definitely not using their indoor voices. Also the bread was overcooked and very hard and crunchy-I mentioned this to the server but nothing was done. Been to Mamas many times and this is the first time I was slightly disappointed. Will definitely try again after the holidays.

   Mama’s was beautiful inside! My friends and I went for two birthday celebrations on the same night. We were given special treats with candles and a nice card! My only complaint was that the main dish was small. You’ll definitely need to fill up on appetizers and their bread service. Other than that, a great place!

   We were seated upstairs, which was cozy and decorated for the holidays. Background Christmas music was playing, which added to the ambience. Food was delicious and service was very attentive.

   We had heated rooftop seating. It is enclosed with walls and ceiling and was very warm. More of an addition, than a rooftop. Really cool space. Had heaters, so we were comfortably warm the entire time. We always have a great meal there! Salmon and eggplant. Two of my top favs.

    Have to be honest, it was not the dinning experience we were hoping for……For staters, we we were excited to have dinner as we had heard good things. My first impression was disappointing…..it’s the holidays & I had hoped the restaurant would be decorated for the holidays. Well, not here. For starters, there were old mums in the pots out front. Then you stepped into the restaurant & absolutely no signs that we are in the midst of the holiday season. We also were seated at a table with a broken lamp shade. We had to prop the lamp against the wall to keep it from falling. This was very annoying to look at a crooked lamp shade all through dinner. We ordered the bread to start, bread was good & it was served with homemade Ricotta. There was barely enough ricotta to spread on the 4 slices of bread. Could stand to be a little more generous with the ricotta. We ordered two entrees that came out & looked delicious. Unfortunately they were served barely hot. We had to track down our waiter to get them sent back. So we waited a while for them to come out. chicken Parmesan was good, but the lasagna was lacking in the flavor dept.

    Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us this review. Your feedback is extremely important to us. Christmas decorations are an important part making the holiday season feel special. I apologize all of our decor wasn't up yet when you dined with us. I am sorry to hear our food wasn't the quality you've come to expect of us. If you'd like to discuss your experience with us more in depth with me, I've sent you a private message. I hope you'll come back and give us another try, and get a chance to see what Christmas decor we've added this week! Hannah General Manager
