I had the opportunity this past weekend (08/27) to visit Mary?s Southern Cuisine in Carrolton. Since I am new to the area I was looking for a nice spot to enjoy a nice dinner and good music so a sista at the hair saloon suggested I check out Mary?s Southern Cuisine. My overall opinion was favorable but there are some things I defiantly think should be given consideration to better service and keep customers coming. I enjoyed some things but thought other things needed to be approved upon, so I am hoping the owners of this fine establishment read their customer?s reviews and take them into serious consideration.
I felt parking was ample and the fact you don?t have to pay to park your car even though you?re paying $20.00 to get in is a plus. The ambience on the inside is very nice. White table liens plenty of seating and guess what, you?re not seating in your neighbors lap; this allows you to have an intimate conversation with the dinner guest at your table. This is not a club setting so if that?s what you?re looking for keep it moving. This reminds me of a nice supper club. This is defiantly a place for the grown and sexy to mix and mingle. I recently visited a night spot in Addison and was surprised I had to pay to park my own car in addition to paying to get into the lounge. Upon entering I was a disappointed there wasn?t someone to seat you. I think it would have been a classy move to have had a hostess seating their customers rather than them having to aimlessly walk from table to table to see it was reserved before stumbling upon an empty seat. The band was good and once they got the sound corrected they were excellent!! Unfortunately one of the worst things I experienced all night was the absence of wait staff to service me. Not once did a hostess, waiter or waitress come over to offer a drink or dinner menu, isn?t that a big money maker? Now don?t get me wrong there was some staff around but you had to chase them down for a drink order or menu. I came out to spend some money but didn?t think I would have to chase someone down to give it to them. Mary, that needs to be corrected ASAP!
My first drink I had to get from the bar myself (shame on you) when I finally flagged down a waitress that another patron had flagged down I asked to see their dinner menu, she gave it to me but can you believe she never came back to ask if I wanted to order!!! Wouldn?t you think if I asked for a menu I probably wanted to eat So Mary if you?re reading please, please take this into consideration? I did view the menu and thought it offered a good verity of choices. I am expecting better the next time and yes there will be a next time but maybe not another next if this is the type of service I continue to experience. I have already passed the word that this is a spot to check out if you?re interested in something on the classy side I am looking forward to better and better. Thank you now you can add me to your email list ?
