If you're in town, you for sure need to stop in and have lunch or dinner at Mary's. So much old history here. Even if you just stop in and have a drink at the bar, you will tons things to see and learn about Mary's and the area around it. The food is amazing, which I expected it to be. We had the crab claws and shrimp cocktail as an app. And then the Mary's chicken, fried shrimp and crab stuff shrimp and oh man we were all full and happy when done along with the amazing customer service we had every step of the way. We were too full to get dessert, but I'm sure it's good as well. Around th area is some houses turned into businesses that are super nice to walk the court yard and enjoy the atmosphere. I will for sure be back some time.

Update: Adding a star back for recovery service. Management followed up after reading review. Apologized for the experience and offered reimbursement. Rating Mary Mahoney's Old French House with two stars for my New Year's Eve dinner, I must express my disappointment with the dining experience. Our meal was a letdown, as it failed to progress beyond the appetizers. This visit marked my second time at Mary Mahoney's, and the restaurant appeared to be struggling due to a past fish authenticity scandal resurfacing, as shared by our server Steve-O, a long-time employee. He claimed that the owners did not take responsibility or issue an apology for the scandal, even though one was aware of it at the time. He chalked it up to the fact that they are old money and could care less about the impact to their restaurant reputation or loss of business, including the plight of the 16 servers laid off due to business decline resulting from the news. The red snapper dish was notably tough and rubbery, while the pasta lacked sauce. A replacement dish of red fish was unappealingly fishy in taste. The asparagus, another side dish, was overcooked and shriveled. Dissatisfied with the main course, we decided to skip dessert altogether. My future dining plans will not include a return visit to Mary Mahoney's Old French House.
