    One of my favourite restaurants in Whitefish when I’m visiting from Canada. Service is always amazing. The food is outstanding. Love the garlic bread. A little surprised I had to pay for oil and balsamic to drip the bread in but it was worth it and the bread is free so it balances out.

    Mambo's generally offers delicious food at a reasonable price. Appetizers are consistently spot on and the entrees have generous portions.

    Mambo’s never disappoints. There is nothing on the menu that isn’t absolutely delicious. They always have a great selection of wines as well and the staff are friendly and always happy to see you and go out of their way to make sure you have an excellent time.

    This little hidden gem was a delightful experience. What a lovely way to enjoy our 10 year wedding anniversary dinner. We aren’t local, but if we were we would come again.

    Mambos uses so much garlic you can see the white chucks in the red sauce. Way over used. Masks the taste? Surely! I expected my eggplant to come in a pot bubbling hot with cheese. It came out on a plate with 3 slices of eggplant barely warm. The highlight was the lulubella cream sauce pasta. I know this restaurant has been here for years but it needs a refresher on the menu. We won’t be back.
