I stopped by Hairston's on Friday, June 19, 2009.
I arrived about 630, the crowd was just beginning to filter in. I had the opportunity to hear Mr. George Fraser
give an awe inspiring and motivating speech.
I ordered a chicken and shrimp dinner, the chicken and shrimp were quite tatsty, eventhough the meal only provided 3 small shrimp. The crowd seemed to be of the local flavor, 30 and up, no rah rah!!
After Mr. Fraser's speech, the dj began to spin a nice mix of smooth jazz trax, infused with some classic party trax from the 80s and 90s. I wished that I was able to hang around longer, because I am quite sure the dj rocked that place.
The staff was extremely smooth and professional, from the valet attendants, bartenders, as well as the restroom attendant.
My only negative experience, was after receiving my food bill, the gratuity was included.
I have worked in the food/bev industry for 21 years,
and added gratuities are normally added to parties of 5-6 or larger. It was no big deal, since the meal total was only $13 and the bartender added a $3 tip to the bill.
Neerdless to say, her service exceeded a $3 tip.
Like I previously said, "I am a food/bev professional",
and my tips usally will meet or exceed the bill total if I am provided excellent service; of wich I received.
Hey let's not dwell on the hustle, overall nice establishment. I would go back.
Pros: GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE
