If you're in Biloxi and are looking for a complete experience in fine dining, then Mary Mahoney's Old French House is right up your alley.
Housed in one of the oldest French homes in the country, the restaurant was first opened as the Old French Restaurant in 1964, by Bob and Mary Mahoney. The high-ceilinged rooms, tastefully done up in antique and reproduction furniture with crisp white tabletops lend the restaurant an old-world charm that also permeates the delicious array of food. Here, you can lunch on an assortment of salads like the crisp and flavorful shrimp salad, or even opt for some of their famous gumbo. Don't forget to ask for the Bleu Cheese Dressing that the restaurant makes in-house. Dinner offers more variety with a choice of exquisite starters like escargots and petite fried soft shell crabs which are flavorful but delightfully non-greasy. Entrees range from succulent Stuffed Catfish to plump Fried Oysters and you can end your sumptuous meal with a serving of their specialty Bread pudding topped with Rum Sauce.
The wine list is comprehensive with the white and red selections carefully put together to perfectly complement your food. You can opt to dine at any of their dining rooms or under the boughs of the 2000 year old oak. Regardless of where you're eating, you can be sure that your meal's going to be an unforgettable experience. Service is friendly and helpful, but can get a little slow at times, so make sure to have plenty of time at hand when you stop by.
The restaurant prices are on the higher side with a dinner here costing you about $30 per head. For further information, and to make reservations online, you can refer to the website http://www.marymahoneys.com .
