My dad flew in from NY for a Thanksgiving visit and we decided on Thanksgiving dinner at The Mansion. The entire place was amazing and the ambiance was perfect. They had the Christmas decorations up and just the aesthetic of the place was gorgeous. The food was delicious. They offered a 3-course Thanksgiving meal and we went with that. The Turkey and sausage were cooked to perfection and the meal came with a few very delicious sides. The mac and cheese side was my favorite and the best I’ve ever tasted. Our server John was welcoming and very attentive. We will definitely go back for dinner again sometime. This restaurant was the best I’ve been to on a holiday in Dallas so far.

I had a great time; however, this app shows that I did a no show which is weird bc I checked in with the waitress. She did seem a little puzzled or new, but I ended up being seated just fine. Can this be corrected your system so it does not affect me as a no show?
