Marlow's Tavern - Cumming

Party of 8, Terrace Seats, it was my mother's birthday (they have no birthday Dessert here) This restaurant is a Dimm lighting site for older crowds, date night, small groups. I say this bcz my teenagers have a hard time to choose their meal choices. I love the wings, shrimps and crabs Nachos, and the shrimps and shrimp cakes. I used to pick up. So this visit was great for diving, the service was just as good as the food.

BOOM? I love these taverns!! This special is in the Shopping Plaza collections! This is a great place to shop! Dine! Watch a movie or watch people! The tavern is classic!! With all the basics on the menu we all love. All American food!? Great beer choice and a large bar to remind you... You in a bar! Clean and noble place! Built for fun with family and friends! Do you like it?

Friday evening in Marlows Tavern (in the collections). Don't wait as we arrived at 5:00. New Style Humus appetizers came out pretty fast. For dinner we ordered Grilled Atlantic Salmon the infamous fish Tacos. As usual, the food was excellent and the service was attentive and friendly. One of our favorite places near The Collections for a quick piece (lunch or dinner)

Nice atmosphere and good food. The fish tacos are amazing and the stacked chicken excellent. Service is a little slow, but at least our server was very pleasant.

I visited this location while on a work trip and was disappointed in my experience. I chose to go to Marlow's because they had an appetizing menu and was near the hotel my colleague and I was staying in. Upon arrival my colleague was told that the wait would be 30 minutes. After waiting almost an hour, we noticed that other patrons who were waiting before and after us had been seated and others had left. My colleague went to the host to understand the delay. We were then informed that the manager had told the host not to sit anyone else. Oddly, we were the only ones not seated and there were at least 8 open tables at the time. My colleague asked for clarity on why and the host just kept repeating that he was told not to sit anyone else. It was in this moment that I realized, no one in the establishment, aside from the host at the time was a person of color. It was becoming evident why we were not being seated. After back and forth, we had finally been told our table was ready. We walked in and was told we were going to be seated outside (although we preferred a indoor seat). The service was not the best as we were asked multiple times by the server if it would be one check or two. Repeatedly, we told her one. I had become uncomfortable as it was evident we were not wanted (I mean, I was told not to be seated and then seated outside near the exit door). The server returned with the check rather quickly, before we had finished eating. In her attempt to had my colleague the check, I handed her the credit card. Her face was in utter confusion to how my Caucasian colleague was not footing the bill. I tipped the waitress simply because, I wanted her to see that we were worth better service than the gratuity I provided with hopes that she would be different in her judgement. I could not confirm if the food was great as my experience was underwhelming. I wish I could recommend Marlow's. Unfortunately, I cannot. I truly hope that this restaurant work on being more inclusive of how they provide service to their patrons regardless of race as I wanted a great experience.
