Dining With Alasandra - Sean's Birthday

Sean wanted lobster for his birthday so we went to...............................
Mary Mahoney's Old French House
Not only do they have wonderful food, excellent service, and the perfect atmosphere they are dripping history. Built in 1737 the Old French House is one of the oldest homes in America, and while she isn't the southern belle she was before Katrina she is still a wonderful southern dowager. She took what Katrina threw at her and she is still standing and still wonderful. I had HALF LOBSTER GEORGO. It's a masterful combination of diced lobster and shrimp mingled in a cream sauce which is then teased with a hint of brandy and presented en coquille. It was pure ambrosia, the salad had an interesting vinaigrette, the steamed broccoli was delicious. In other words it was the perfect meal and a delightful evening.

Oh Yeah!!! I was hoping she was still standing! Mary's is one of my all time favorite places. I only had the pleasure of dining there once but I will never forget it.

The first time I went was for my anniversary a few years ago in June and we ate in the courtyard it was so romantic and the food was delicious. Needless to say MM's is at the top of my list of favourite restaurants.
