    I request the corner table by the 2 windows; we were not seated there. I had difficulty understanding the server. Worst of all was the noise level in the next room. I even went upstairs to consider moving. One table from the extremely noisy room moved to the room we were in. I was very disappointed; this was my brother’s 75 birthday celebration. Not the usual Manor House experience.

    The experience at “The Mayor’s House” was a bit different than expected. Not necessarily good or bad… just different. While it was a beautiful evening weather-wise to sit on the visually inviting patios, the loud music quickly made us realize that wasn’t going to be the best option. Going inside, however, didn’t mute the music much. Fortunately it was toned down not too long after. Interior atmosphere of the historic house is great—aside from the music choice / volume. Nice to see the “old” surviving amidst the giant, generic “shipping container looking” apartment buildings going up all over Oak Cliff. Perfect setting for a restaurant. The service was adequate but not above average. Having been to the location in Addison, the service and more calming atmosphere there was more of what I was expecting here. The dress code of some of the staff here seems to be a bit more “relaxed”, too. Now on to the food. It was all excellent tasting with reasonable prices. The food is what raised this from 3-stars to 4+. Kudos for not charging extra for the common credit card payments. Do better with your handheld devices… trying to get the itemized bill, figure out the tip and technology while the waiter stood like a sentry is annoying. As I often mention when dealing with situations like this: what’s wrong with the “old fashioned” yet efficient printed checks / receipts that don’t require the waiter to hover as we fill them out? For me personally I would have preferred a casual but more “refined” feel with incredible service to complement the already fantastic food options… …but maybe I’m just getting old. :)

    Beautiful restaurant and patio area. Service was great and food was good. Subtracted a star due to not being checked in via OpenTable. Received a no show email.

    We wanted to try the Mayors' House after some friends went there. We were a bit disappointed. Food was good but not a great value for what it was and service was terrible. They brought our main dish before we even finished our appetizers. The server apologized and was very nice about it but I consider it a big faux pas.
