mahokid,
Like you, we’ve followed Mario’s from Sandy Ground to Porto Cupecoy and finally to the present location at the Cliff, the first two locations causing us to try the present location.
We went as a group of seven or eight with reservations and sad to say, the evening was such a disappointment. The company was great but the food just didn’t live up to our previous experiences and for sure, I was hard pressed to justify the prices charged for the meals we received,
I thought I was the only one who felt this way but after the fact I learned the others in our party felt the same way. Not to say it was bad but it just didn’t live up to our prior experiences.
I sincerely hope your meal and your experience is all you would hope it to be.
Respectfully,
pat

mahokid--would be interested to hear your take on it. I have not been there, but the pictures do seem somewhat odd in appearance, but I thought it was just me. I liked the location at Puerto Cupecoy better than Sandy Ground, because that location was always pretty sketchy to me. If the prices are higher than PC, I'm not sure I could justify the cost..

I will be working on my review of Mario's hopefully today as I am a day behind
Wow, sorry to here your experience. All four of us enjoyed our meals. Yes prices have gone up but the portions were very big.
Not crazy about interior.
mahokid, Please understand, I typically do NOT post negatively about restaurants since the best of them can have a bad night when ‘stuff’ just manages to detract from the evening. I posted as I did because we had always had such wonderful experiences in the previous locations and this just wasn’t the same and interestingly enough, while I hesitated to say so at first, the others with us also echoed the same sentiments after the fact. Thankfully, the company we were with was delightful so they more than made up for any short-comings in the evening over all.
Respectfully,
pat
