    Luann was our server was outstanding as always. Place was packed as always, as ambiance was very energetic. Great portions on the food, yet we were both disappointed as the chicken Marsala and the Pork Shank special were lukewarm temperature. Which makes no sense since we waited little while to receive them. And just couple minutes before she brought them to us, Luann told us our entrees would be ready in a couple minutes. We left at 7:45pm and the front lobby was totally packed with lots of folks waiting for be seated. I’m guessing it must be from the recent viewing on the old Ch. 11 show “Check Please!”. I’ve been going to Mambo for 20 years and it’s always a great dinner night out.
