The Mabry House

My wife and I went for our anniversary. The Mabry House is an absolute gem. The food was delicious and eye-catching. The restaurant itself is beautiful and a well-kept historic house. The waitstaff was attentive and kind. Cannot recommend this place enough; it was a beautiful experience.

This hidden gem of a house restaurant is absolutely fantastic. The warm, inviting atmosphere makes you feel right at home, while the eclectic, internationally inspired menu offers a delightful culinary adventure. Each dish is a delicious masterpiece, beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. Some of the BEST good in Shreveport!! The service is top-notch, with attentive and friendly staff that elevate the dining experience. Whether for a casual meal or a special occasion, this place is truly exceptional.

Dining at The Mabry House is like stepping into another era—an elegant Victorian home filled with charm, warmth, and a quiet kind of luxury. The atmosphere is as carefully curated as the menu, offering a unique blend of comfort and sophistication. The food? Simply exceptional. Each course was beautifully presented and full of flavor, reflecting both creativity and respect for quality ingredients. But what truly elevated the entire experience—and what I’ll remember long after the final bite—was the service. Our waiter Daniel wasn’t just attentive and knowledgeable; he was the heartbeat of the evening. Warm, genuine, and effortlessly professional, he brought a personal touch that made us feel not like customers, but honored guests. In every sense, he is the face of The Mabry House. His presence alone is reason enough to return. This place doesn’t just serve food—it creates moments. And thanks to him, ours was unforgettable.

What a cool hidden gem. I’m so glad I came and checked this out. The food was delicious, the venue unique. The staff was friendly, warm and inviting, and the food really was well thought out and meticulous. I’ll definitely be back.

The food was very memorable. Crawfish Cheesecake appetizer is a must try. The Ribeye Chimichurri & Crab Cake were excellent. The historical house converted into a restaurant is really neat to dine in. Plenty of space and ice cold A/C. The staff are really friendly and our server Avalon explained everything in detail. She definitely added value to our dining experience. Overall happy with all aspects of The Mabry, and will return.

We were celebrating our 35th Anniversary. This was definitely the place for a special occasion. The atmosphere was romantic. The food was amazing. I tried my wife’s Snapper and crab. Wow! Everything was great and we finished the meal with their family’s bread pudding and coffee. We just can’t say enough about this great find. If you haven’t tried them I highly recommend, they won’t disappoint.

The food was great. It took an hour just to get our appetizer. We were there over 2 hours. They automatically added gratuity to our table of 6, which they only hurt themselves when they did it. Service was not a 5 star. I just felt like the waiter could have been more attentive. We ordered one of the specials, which was $65. The prices were what I was expecting. They did nothing special for the birthdays we were celebrating. The steak was really good and so tender with a crisp to the outside. I would go back.

One of the best kept secrets in Shreveport. If you are in town this restaurant has to me on your dinner to do list. Just make sure you make your reservations in advance. Where do I start you are treated as royalty as soon as you walk in the door. The appetizers were perfectly prepared. The main course were all seasoned and cooked to perfection. All of our plates were completely devoured. The wine was a perfect complement to our meal. Five 🌟

It's been 4 months and I am still dreaming of The Mabry House. This restaurant is worth the entire experience. MAKE RESERVATIONS IN ADVANCED! The ambiance is absolutely marvelous. You walk into a beautiful home and the dining area is very intimate. You might find yourself talking to your table neighbors who happen to be regulars from the town over and come here every year for their anniversary with amazing recommendations of what to order. And if that is the case - you will probably be in love with the restaurant already. Service from the hostess to waitress to chef coming out is amazing as well. The menu changes frequently. I ordered the lamb. I have never tasted lamb this wonderfully cooked in my entire lamb eating experience. The lamb is so incredibly tender and the flavor just melts in your mouth. If you've ever had lamb, you might know it is an acquired taste. I've had a lot of bad lamb in my life. This was THE BEST I have ever enjoyed. The glaze that the lamb lays on is so delicious. I wish I could give this more stars. Cannot wait for another opportunity to come back!

It has great atmosphere and service. The food is amazing! The Roasted Tomato and Gouda Soup is fantastic. This is a must try especially if there is a special occasion.

So Shreveport redeemed itself for me with this place. When I say I highly recommend , I highly recommend It is rich is history and charm. The staff is knowledgeable. The owners are a couple and he is the chef and his wife makes rounds to the table and is so welcoming. Rolls good 10/10 Character 10/10 Boa bun 6/10 the meat was good but I didn't care for the veggies and bread Ceasar salad 8/10 Each item is served by course Sorbet to cleanse the pallet 10/10 Red snapper in brown butter lemon sauce topped with lump crab meat 100/10 This red snapper was the best I have had they were not stingy with the crab meat. It was originally served with just butter noodles but I asked for Parmesan noodles and the chef delivered The bread pudding came highly recommend but it wasn't for me. I think if they add the pumpkin pie topping to the bread pudding we would be on to something I'm definitely going back

I have to be honest. I have had good experiences here. Tonight was not a great experience. I was a guest and did not pay for my meal so take that in the consideration. I ordered the tile fish and grilled shrimp combo. The tile fish was acceptable and tasty however, my wife got the red snapper and it was so much more flavorful. The three shrimp that came with my tilefish were overcooked and over seasoned and barely edible. Our service was adequate, but I did not get a refill on my water nor replacing of our bread. Our server also asked us to pass many pieces of silverware and plates to him. That seems like something we should not have to do anywhere, much less a high end restaurant..

The most elegant restaurant with amazing cuisine! As good or better than a New Orleans restaurant. Absolutely an experience

exquisite dining, great atmosphere. I highly recommend Mabry house. The staff was also delightful. The red snapper with lump crabmeat was over the top as was the escargot on pastry. Five stars for sure.

Excellent restaurant with creative and delicious food! The service is excellent and atmosphere quiet!

My husband planned a surprise weekend away from the kids and he knows how much I love cozy romantic restaraunts and historic settings are my favorite! Our visit was fantastic. Our waiter Daniel described every dish without missing a beat and was so attentive, as was the rest of the Mabry staff. The wine was delicious and the food was incredible. We aren't able to get out of the house often as young parents, but we already know that we are coming back the next time we are able! Thank you for making our date night perfect!

Shreveport is fortunate to have a place like The Mabry House. My wife and I had dinner there last Friday night(7/7/23) , and 1 week later we're still talking about how incredible our meal was! I had the salad special......warm mozzarella wrapped in lettuce on a bed of greens and it was absolutely amazing. For entrees we had the crab cakes and the creole redfish/shrimp special. I wish I could cook my redfish even half that well. Even the vegetable sides are amazing, I have no idea how chef does it. This is definitely our new place when we want a special meal. It's not cheap......we can't afford to go every wkn, but for a meal of that caliber it's worth every cent!

Does this place need another 5-Star review? No. But here goes. This place made me disappointed at all the "top restaurants " in Dallas. Mabry House reminded me what food prepared with excellence and skill, as well as traditional fine service, really is. If only Dallas restaurants would focus more on better skills and better dressed, more knowledgeable and more courteous servers, and less on photo opp walls for girlfriends to post on their fake instagrams.

Go and experience a fantastic evening with good conversation, laid back atmosphere and food that you'll be talking about for years. The glasses never went empty. Scallops were a tremendous start of the evening. Artichoke soup was top level. Salad was bursting with flavors. The filet was ever so perfectly cooked. The flavors were multi-dimensional. The redfish was as fresh as it gets. Finished the evening with an eggnog cheese cake, recommend by a most excellent wait staffer, Avalon.

You don't see all that many 5 out of 5 restaurants. Mabry's is perfect. Everyone we interacted with was fantastic. But you go to restaurants for the food. Chef Steve knows food. Every bite was perfect. Steak Diane and red snapper with crab were unbelievable. The crawfish cheesecake appetizer was delicious. The tomato gouda soup was just as good. But the white and dark chocolate dessert was magic. It was like Steve has figured out how to remove the physical part of sugar, leaving only sweetness. It was lick-the-plate-clean-while-your-Mother-yells-at-you-in-disgust good. Our server, Joey knew his stuff and was incredibly personable. The other diners were convivial and glowing like people who are living their best lives do. Don't go to or through Shreveport without treating yourself to Mabry House (if you can get in).

The service was absolutely amazing ! The service was wonderful and he was very funny. Very much a people person! Great service! The food was awesome... I never had a ribeye before. However, this was like a taste of perfection. Cooked very well and the rice and the squash were great. The Dessert was fresh and very appetizing.. over all I give it An A-plus.. when you get served in such a great manner, it makes the food even better. Thanks for the great dining.

One of my favorite fine dining restaurants in Shreveport. The menu is always changing, so you never have to order the same thing twice. Love the Mabry House! The staff is always great.

Everything about this place deserves 5 stars, no actually they deserve even more stars than that! The ambiance is good, there isn't much lighting in the restaurant but they have candles at every table. I dined there solo, as I travel around for work. The wait staff is so kind and checked on me often to make sure I was doing okay. They didn't make me feel weird about dining solo at all. You must call and make a reservation though. It's old fashioned, but it's the right way. At your table there's a little card with your name and reservation time on it. Another thing I found really charming was that they refer to the chef as 'Chef', like "Chef has prepared...". I haven't been to a place where they still do that. Before they bring out your entree, you will get a palate cleanser in the form of a sorbet. The waitress said that the flavor changes constantly and that Chef likes to use whatever is in season. Tonight I got to try the watermelon sorbet, which was fabulous! I asked her what other flavors Chef has done and she said lemon black pepper, black cherry cranberry, lime, lemon ginger, etc. Everything on the menu sounds amazing and they had a long list of specials Chef prepared. I chose the tuna wonton special, which is ahi tuna wrapped in wonton and flash fried (so it's still rare in the middle) with a red curry sauce. It was actually an appetizer but I ordered it as a meal so it came with jasmine rice and sautéed vegetables. That sauce was amazing. The tuna was very well prepared too! I'm very happy I ordered it. Dessert menu also sounds incredible. I wasn't in a dessert mood tonight so I didn't order anything but the waitress mentioned that Chef's wife's favorite is the key lime pie.

This was our first visit here and it was absolutely amazing! Everything from the service to food was perfect. I can't believe we had never been there before now. It's a true gourmet five course meal experience so don't be in a rush when you go but it will be worth every minute.

Cozy and intimate setting. Food was amazing. We even took a seasonal picture that the server offered to take for us. I will be back!

I'm very disappointed to be writing this review. Today was our second time trying to make a reservation for the Mabry House. We were turned away because our two year old is not welcome. This is a first for me. They said we were only welcome to dine if we did not bring our daughter, because he was "not comfortable" with a child that young in the restaurant around other diners. We are a military family and unfortunately do not have anyone here to watch our child. I understand that some kids are very rambunctious, but our daughter is SO well behaved and so sweet. This restaurant looks so beautiful, and I'm disappointed that we will not be able to enjoy it. I understand wanting to preserve your ambiance, but I feel a bit discriminated against. I've attempted to attach a pic (seems like it won't upload) of my sweet girl who would have been an absolute delight at your establishment. She is smiley and quiet and just loves to eat

This was simply amazing. The food, atmosphere, and waitress. I give this place the max you can give it and recommend to anyone who's looking for a great night with their other half.

Perfect! Every item was delicious and prepared to perfection. From Crawfish Cheesecake to Veal. The ambiance can not be beat and by far the best restaurant in its class for the area.

Everything here was amazing! From solid wine selections to interesting cuisines, it's the best place in town to dine. The reservations were a bit difficult to make due to only being open Wed-Sat. The receipts are kind of homemade and could read better. The website seems like FB and could use some help too.

Another anniversary dinner at Mabry House, another exceptional dinner and another wonderful memory that we'll talk about for years to come. This IS our special occasion go-to and we're never disappointed. A fine dining experience unlike any other in Shreveport. Chef Steve's snapper this night was the best I've ever had. Of course, the crawfish cheesecake is a favorite and we couldn't pass it up. Really, from appetizer to dessert, it kept getting better. Add to that, fabulous service ....worth every penny and twice as many stars.

The most important part, food, is simple and well-executed. However $55 for grouper in a straightforward beurre blanc sauce is steeeep (Cypress does a better, more creative version for about $15 less). You're paying for the setting, and service which was just okay- my wife and I were probably the youngest ones there and we felt like an afterthought to our server, who seemed to say the bare minimum before moving on. Okay overall, the sell is the history and ambiance, but if food is #1, there are superior options in town at this price point.

Great service. Food is absolutely delicious. Romantic super cool piece of history. We really enjoyed it. They are all super nice and take great care of you. We will be back.

A restaurant inside of an old house. The walls and dishes have in common that they are both tasteful and tastefully decorated. Even the waiters try a little harder. Of the three tables in the room we were sitting in, two were celebrating anniversaries, just to give you an idea of what sort of atmosphere it is here.

This restaurant is charming. It is a victorian house with a cosy dining room. The owner is very friendly and welcoming. The service was excellent. Everyone in our party enjoyed their meals. I got the soup of the day which was a crab bisque served with a puff pastry stick and the fish special with was lightly breaded and topped with lump crab. Everything was delicious!

My husband and I, our two sons and their wives enjoyed our 45th anniversary here at Mabrys. The experience was awesome, the wait staff was phenomenal, and of course, the food was to die for. Plus our dessert course being brought in anniversary celebration style About 5 yrs ago my husband and I got to enjoy eating at the chefs table with 3 other couples. Wow, talk about an exceptional experience, we will never forget that

Mandy House is outstanding! We went there with no idea of what may be on the menu and hoping the reviews we had read were right - they were! It was a Tuesday and even though we had a reservation I think we could have walked right in and gotten a table. It's set up into four different dining areas. Two were being used for parties and there is a chefs table near the kitchen. We were put in the fourth dining area (there may be more?) The service was fantastic. The server new all the specials by heart and gave us some great suggestions and insight on the food. Speaking of food... so good! The apps, main and dessert were amazing. Fish, steak, seafood, drinks... all were delicious. I haven't lived in the area for over 20 years so this place was new to me. It will be on my to-go-to list every time I come back in town to visit the fam!

If you're in Shreveport, you cannot miss your chance to have dinner here. It's a fine dinning restaurant in an original house built in 1901. The server was very knowledgeable, you cannot go wrong with anything on the standard menu or the chef specials.

Outstanding food and service. We were a party of two and the restaurant is cozy. This also means that most other tables were either date nights or celebrating special occasions. All dishes were well prepared and used quality ingredients. The chimi sauce was sweet instead of having a little kick, and I was surprised in a not pleasant way, but apparently this is the chef's signature, so I wont subtract stars!

My husband and I have been several times to the Mabry House and every time has been such a great experience! This is now our go-to when we have out of town visitors and want to treat them to something unique and special. The food is delicious and the staff make you feel very welcome. I highly recommend!

For a special evening with service beyond compare, make a reservation at Mabry House. You will be treated like royalty.

Make sure you make reservations - they only way you can is the "old fashioned" way but it is well worth it! I came here on a Business trip with some coworkers and we decided to split all the appetizers and desserts and get our own entrees. Everything was delicious, but I really enjoyed the steak encrusted in blue cheese and horseradish. The waiters warned us of the crust but I was ready for it. The best way to judge a steak is eating it the next day - ha! The steak was just as delicious for breakfast as it was for dinner! Also, the Mabry house is inside of an old house turned restaurant and many of the items in the house are from the original house!

Truly a wonderful experience. My girlfriend and I went for her birthday. We walk in and we're greeted by our waiter, Daniel who was absolutely amazing and terrific in every way. He seated us elegantly, easily, and perfectly explained the specials and brought us some menus. He was extremely knowledgeable about the wines, cocktails, and food. We pigged out and had every course, mostly from the specials. I can't express enough just how delicious and beautiful everything was. It was a beautiful and perfect evening. I regular dream of the food.

Best food we've had in Shreveport/Bossier. Cozy and intimate ambiance. A great selection of specials and menu items--it was hard to choose! There wasn't one bad dish. Even the bread rolls were good. Complimentary palate cleanser sorbet made us feel like we were in Italy. Even better, we didn't feel like we were being rushed out. We were able to enjoy ourselves at our own pace and not feel like just another number they wanted to turn out for business. Wonderful experience and will definitely be back next time we want to celebrate a special occasion

Great service and a warm atmosphere, feels like you're right at home, because it's literally a house! Food was not as impressive as I thought it would be compared to other local cuisine. We ordered the quail appetizer - not much flavor. The pancake it is served on top of does not pair well. The two main dishes that we ordered were the duck and lamb. The duck was pretty good, but it wasn't anything amazing. It tasted like duck you would get at an authentic Chinese restaurant. The lamb was paired with a sweet sauce with a hint of spice, not overpowering, just right. But again the sauce and the lamb were not paired well. For dessert we ordered cream brûlée which was 25% liquid after piercing the caramel top. To top it all off, the taste of the water was nasty. Most of the water in Shreveport has a particular taste, but I would expect the dining here to have a filter given its price range. Overall mediocre dining experience with what seemed like a strange combination of ingredients and sauces that did not pair well.

The food, service, and ambiance were the perfect way to celebrate a special occasion!! I had the crawfish cheese cake, tomato soup, red snapper, and peach creme brûlée. It was one of the best meals I have ever had. Each dish had a slight twist that was a pleasant and unexpected surprise. It was pricey, but worth every penny of the splurge!

We had a really nice romantic dinner here the weekend after Valentine's Day. My boyfriend (now fiancé) actually proposed to me in the front entryway of the house. Food was great. People were very friendly!

Their reputation is well-deserved!! We had dinner here for our anniversary & it was fantastic! Appetizers of angel hair pasta/pesto/crab meat/bacon and chorizo empanadas were great! The salmon and snapper were fantastic (snapper is pictured). Dessert (also pictured) was phenomenal and came out with a candle. Very special night, made more special by the amazing food and great service. Highly recommend for special occasions!!

Short notice birthday celebration. Wonderful choice. The service A1. Our server was very attentive. The food was excellent, everything we ordered was good. Will definitely come again.

My best dining experience yet! My bf brought me here for an early Valentine's day dinner since I would be going back home to NYC. This surpassed all my dining experiences in ny. The food was amazing and very well seasoned. The flavors went well together. Nothing was too oily or salty or overcooked. I loved that there wasn't one specific theme to the food but was a menu of various goodness. The ambience was so intimate and romantic. As for the customer service, it was the definition of southern hospitality. We both agreed we would book a flight to come back here for a special dinner again.

I couldn't have asked for a more elegant evening! The staff was wonderful, the drinks paired with the food was spot on, and the FOOD was beyond anything you will get in Shreveport Bossier area!! It real deal fine dining.

Highly recommend! The tomato and Gouda soup was outstanding. Pecan chicken was very good. Perfect sauce and moist chicken. Husband had the veal and it was also outstanding. It's a little on the pricey side but 100% worth it.

The Mabry House is something special. My wife and I always choose to go here on special events as it is pricey. The food is always outstanding. I've been several times and I usually go with whatever the special the chef is featuring. This past time it was crab cakes. They were perfectly done. My wife had the filet and it was cooked also done just the way she ordered, medium-rare. The staff is especially attentive. They always know the menu and offer great suggestions. The cocktails are done well. The ambience helps as well. The staff always has cool stories about the house and the previous owners. I highly recommend the Mabry House.

Wow, this was our best and most delightful dinner ever in Shreveport. On top of that, the dining venue was itself very interesting and historic - the Mabry House, a well preserved and maintained mansion built in 1902. The restaurant has been in business for 14 years and our server Joey has been there from day one. It feels like a quiet hidden gem, but at the same time, the restaurant does seem to be well known as one of Shreveport's finest. Once you get onto Irving Place street, you would not guess there is a restaurant nearby, as the street is darkish and quiet, and their convenient parking lot is tucked away at the side and back and hidden by trees. The mom and pop owner couple (we did not meet) apparently came from Marshall, TX where they also conducted a successful restaurant business in a mansion and brought the concept to Shreveport. They have a fine dining menu (and commensurate but not exorbitant prices) and menu selections and flavors are creative. They have three smallish and quaint dining rooms as well as a Chef's table by the kitchen. So, for our meals, we had between us two appetizers and three entrees. The appetizers were crawfish cheesecake and tempura soft shell crab - both delectable. The crawfish had a nice red and green tomato relish topping that complimented the flavor of the cheesecake shaped crawfish mix. The tempura crab used a "pickled ginger butter" and the ginger flavor was subtle, creative, and tasty. For our mains, son had lamb chops special (very generous portions with 8 ribs for $43.95), wife had their branzino (a sea bass) and crab special ($38.95), and I had their maple bacon glazed bone-in pork chop ($29.95). Every dish was really very nicely done and excellent, but the seafood dish was the best we all agreed as it was so meaty and fresh. Both the lamb chops and pork chops were also delicious, with the only feedback that the sauces on both were just a tad on sweet and filling side once all done. Overall, a great dining outing here for us, and a highly recommended place for that special occasion or celebration dinner. Also, don't be in a rush if you come here - our dinner for three lasted 1 hour, 45 minutes (without desserts) but that was fine by us.

This is a great place! Very cosy, quiet and tasty. Fantastic atmosphere of a true american house, even the floors creak a little. I had shrimps and crab cakes, both were delicious. And the pudding too. Highly recommended!

Very elegant Victorian House converted into a restaurant. Service over the top. Wine list great and affordable. Food selections varied so something for everyone. I had the chef special lamp chops. I didn't know it would be with chorizo which is an interesting choice for such a mild. meat. Didn't love but it was cooked to perfection and served with julienned vegetables and some sort of orzo. Overall the experience was wonderful. I will return. As I've told others attending my annual meeting..."I didn't think ther was fine dining in Shreveport". I was wrong

Unforgettable ambiance, incredible food, and phenomenal service. We were just passing through town and stopped on a whim. Best decision ever!

This was a unique visit for us. We got to eat here for work related reasons otherwise we would not eat here because of the hours and price. JG score of 6/10 (+3 for food, +1 for atmosphere, 0 for price, 0 for no Diet Dr Pepper, 0 for service and +2 for we could easily go back here) You get what you pay for. I have eaten here twice with my wife for special occasions and spent $250 total between us for excellent food. JG got to eat here for work and I don't know what they spent on us. We had overall 7 different foods we tried: Pecan chicken & shrimp, crab cakes with tomato sauce, New Orleans style bread pudding, roasted garlic artichoke bisque, chorizo sausage balls, quail with a cranberry sauce and teriyaki steak kabobs. All of this was excellent to me and I did not have favorites....you can taste what a good chef can do. "J" liked his meal too but he had a clear favorite, the quail with cranberry sauce= he would have filled up on this alone. All of it though, excellent food and who knows how many other things to try. The atmosphere is good...made more for couples on a date than 2 work foodies like us but we could still appreciate the decor. The price I'm sure was way, way, way over $15 but good food is worth it and we got great food for what someone paid for. No Diet Dr Pepper though, only Coke products. They do have beer and a bar. Tea was great too. Service was good for us. I have heard of others with great experiences here with servers especially with the cook when you pay to eat in the kitchen. We would easily go back here anytime. Probably won't together though unless another work related meeting takes us there. It is great though.

So very amazing. Unique food. Wonderful atmosphere that can't be beat in all of Louisiana. Received a private tour from out lovely waitress. Can't wait to eat here again! Romantic and dressy. Great for date night. The duck wonton starter was my favorite!
