Hi, Elaine.

We saw no sign - big, little or otherwise - announcing any function for that evening. Not saying there wasn’t one but if it was there, it was neither large nor prominent, and since the timing of the event was so close to our arrival, the prudent thing for the waiter to do as he was seating us, was simply to ask if we were aware they had something going on soon.

But that was only half the problem. The food was just plain terrible. Neither of us is what you might consider to be a ‘foodie’and we both tend to usually be on the forgiving side but this one meal was terrible in every respect and certainly not up to the level of what one should expect at a restaurant that’s been around as long as Mary’s Boon has been.

As I said, we’ve long been fans of every aspect of the Boon so we will willingly chalk that one evening up as being a total fluke and probably try again next trip. Stuff happens and we recognize that and will overlook our one bad experience.
