Master Critic Review
Lady Gregory's Irish Bar & Restaurant
7.9
An Irish gastropub where the seafood move is the pub-classic fried fish—crisp batter, proper sides, and the kind of comfort that pairs naturally with a pint. It’s not a seafood temple, but it earns a spot for consistent fish-and-chips execution in a neighborhood-ready room.

Fish and chips, Grilled Scottish salmon, Oysters (when offered)

Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Better for a casual first date than a romantic one. The pub energy keeps things relaxed, but it’s not intimate or quiet.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes, especially at lunch or on weeknights. Weekend evenings may require a short wait, but walk-ins are common.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes. Families are common, especially earlier in the evening, and the menu is approachable for kids.
Best For
Better for: Reliable fish and chips in a neighborhood pub setting with drinks, groups, and comfort-food pacing.
Skip if: You’re looking for a seafood-forward menu, quieter dining, or more refined coastal-style cooking.
