The Mandarin is a great place, consistent ant any location I have visited, until now.
We visited on A Monday at 7:45 pm, the place was busy but not full, staff were ALL yelling "welcome" but we found not doing much else There were many dirty tables, the buffet was not full, many items were dried out, the buffet tables were very messy and dirty and even some of the food was not good. Lemon chicken was actually dried out and tough, there were tons of dumpling items, but many staple dishes were not available. $100 for 3 of us and then some of my favourite items are missing and he place is dirty. Won't go back to this one.

This is a really busy restaurant -- but that's a sign of good things in the kitchen! We made a reservation for Saturday night and I would strongly recommend calling in advance coz the place was packed! The decor is very charming an reminded us of a recent cruise through the Greek isles. It's not too "kitchy", but you definitely feel like you are going to be having an authentic experience. Lovely archways and columns and the tables are set with fresh linens, fresh flowers and candles. The manager was extremely attentive (we loved the Ouzo) and our server was very friendly and fun!!

We went for brunch with my stepdaughter, her husband and baby. It wasn't busy at all at 1:30 p.m.. on Sunday and were quick to get a large booth.
We ordered the breakfast for 2 served with your choice of coffee or tea. Very hot efficient service but the waitresses seem to rush you each time we go there. Mind you they are very friendly some of them so of them not. Overall experience, it is always great with large portions. Good eats. Enjoy

I choose this restaurant based on the search i have done for best restaurant in the area. I was anticipating to be really good, cozy, quiet and romantic boy i was so dissapointed .
The restaurant seems having an identity crisis. It has a decorations of an Italian restaurant but mixed with a cheap regular diner athmosphere. Again first impressions is the most important and the details were lacking. Again my apologies been to many restaurant and cannot avoid to compare for an Italian restaurant with a nice location and good decorations i would be expecting a cloth napkins, not the cheap paper napkins, right to the container of the vinegar, and catsup that usually you see in diners.
The menus has some fancy names that again you will see on expensive high end restaurant but when it arrives on your table. You wonder what the heck was that. There were four of us ordered different dishes but it was okay were hungry so we forced ourselves to try and eat them but never finish and the waitress asked if we want to take them home and we told her no thank you.
Would we come back probably never.

Mass quantities of food at lunch, had the hot roast beef, which was delicious; waitresses are super friendly, but not intrusive, obviously a lotta regulars come here ... breakfast was equally filling, the sausages were fantastic, plump farmer style, not those little anemic ones you usually get ...

Went for lunch on a quiet Sunday afternoon. Food was excellent and the staff were friendly. The surfer girl vegetarian burrito was great. Filling but not overly so. My daughter loved her enchiladas and my husband enjoyed his beef burrito. The deep fried ice cream was excellent.

Not a fancy restaurant, but great tasting and good quality Persian food - Koobideh Kabab, Chicken Kabab, Vaziri, combination plates consisting of lamb, chicken, barg, kabab, chicken. They also have wraps, Lamb shank, persian appetizers like eggplant, Mast-O-Khiar, Grape leaves.

Great, little family owned and operated restaurant. Always look forward to next time!
