Mariahs Steakhouse & Pasta - (Near Springfield, IL)

3 /5 Adam B: I haven’t been to Mariah’s for probably 6 years as the food was never that great but decided to give it another shot and unfortunately it’s still the same overpriced and flavorless food. I had the beef medallions cooked medium over the cheese ravioli. The medallions tasted like an overcooked steak and had no flavor. The ravioli was decent but nothing special. For the price I expected a decent steak but that was not the case. The other negative was how dark the dining room was at night, as most patrons could not read their menus. For drinks I opted for a draft Dos Equis beer which tasted flat and gross. It was either an expired keg or the line hasn’t been cleaned in some time. The server was nice enough to take and replace with a bottle of beer. Overall I would not recommend this restaurant as it’s pretty pricey and for those price points I expect a pretty good meal.

4 /5 Patrick Provart: Celebrated our wedding anniversary. We shared a crab-stuffed shrimp appetizer, I had the beef medallions with lobster ravioli and my wife had the seafood lovers combo. Pastas are handmade and were excellent. The house was well over half full, and yet they managed to get us in 15-20 minutes sooner than our reservation and service was timely. We closed with a favorite - their creme brulle, which is flamed with brandy table-side. The only reduction from 5 stars is for atmosphere - the dining room is dark enough that most tables are using cell phone lights to read menus and receipts. . . .if I owned a place that had hand-made pastas this good, Id give the patrons enough light to properly appreciate the food. Cant wait to go back.

3 /5 Eric Anderson: The food was very good except for the Salmon was over cooked. Our Mussels and Lamb Chops were excellent. Service was very lacking. Food took over an hour to get with an empty diner. Only 2 other people were there. We got helped from the other waiter because our waiter never came to check on us. I had to ask for a drink refill when my glass was empty. Waiter must of had something going on due to his grumpiness.
