"My husband and I went to Marly’s on Friday, January 12th, 2024 at 7pm. We were the only 2 people waiting to be seated and there were a couple tables available that we could see. We stood there for SEVERAL MINUTES waiting for the Hostess (or any staff member) to acknowledge us. ONLY ONE waitress made eye contact with us, as 6 of them passed by several times. The Hostess passed right in front of us at least 3 times and did not acknowledge us, either. She totally avoided eye contact. She had on red boots and a red jacket, so we knew it was her. She was carrying a few plates, and could have easily acknowledged our presence and communicated with us. We are not disheveled people; we are 2 professionals and we used to go to Marly’s frequently. After several minutes of this, we left!!We went down the street to Aranci 67 and had an amazing dinner and amazing service. If you go to Marly’s, I would not expect good service based on our recent experience. This is my personal opinion and experience, hopefully you have a better one and can write an honest review without being scolded and told how to write a review by the owner. And this Hostess was no hostess at all…she was an overdressed bus person. (Edit to add this is far from “name-calling,” it is an accurate description of the Hostess. I worked in restaurants for years, and there is no reason why she could not make eye contact and greet someone, which is what a Hostess is supposed to do)."
