    The place is beautiful and service was good. The prices are quite steep. Almost $90 for a steak with no sides. My pasta was decent, but nothing special.

    Celebrated my birthday at The Gregory and it was outstanding. Our server, whose name I sadly can’t remember, was a joy and took care of us above and beyond. And the food was so delicious. The bone marrow potato purée stood out but all the food was excellent. We will be back!

    They couldn’t have been more helpful in helping us find a quiet spot for us because of hearing issues. The wait staff was so engaging. Thanks for a great first visit!

    The food is excellent and portions are generous. I had the Steak Frites with peppercorn sauce which was outstanding and my son had the filet mignon which he raved about. We shared a BLT Wedge salad. It was my birthday and the waiter brought out a generous slice of cream filled layer cake to share topped with a large sparkler.

    The crabmeat & avocado was good! I order the N.Y. Strip, Charred, medium with a Blue Cheese Crust. The steak had NO FLAVOR AT ALL. The Blue Cheese Crust gave the steak flavor. I'd go back but NOT for a $84 steak that has NO FLAVOR. I will continue to get my N.Y. Strip from Ruth's Chris, it melts in your mouth!!! DDDDLISH

FAQs

Portions are generous and designed to share. Steaks come in a range of sizes (from 9–32 oz options) and many sides are listed as shareable; guests often split entrees and sides. Desserts and some starters (like popovers or lobster rolls) are sizable, too, many guests mention leftovers as common. If you’re tasting multiple dishes, consider sharing to try more without over-ordering.

Yes, The Greggory is often an excellent choice for date night. Guests praise the stylish, romantic décor, warm lighting and high-end steaks and seafood that create a memorable evening. It can be lively on busy weekends, so request a booth, the parlor/fireplace area or an early reservation if you prefer a quieter table. Expect a polished, downtown-style steakhouse vibe in the suburbs, perfect for celebrations and special evenings.

For a calmer experience, choose weekday dinners (Mon–Thu) or an earlier seating; guests report these times are quieter. If you want the lively bar vibe, Friday and Saturday evenings or busy weekend brunches deliver energetic atmosphere and full-service hospitality. Book ahead for weekends and holidays, popular nights fill up fast.

Families do dine here and guests frequently celebrate birthdays and family milestones at The Greggory. The menu has approachable options (burgers, pasta, brunch favorites) and servers are noted for being welcoming to kids. Because it’s an upscale steakhouse, consider an earlier seating or a booth for a smoother family experience and call ahead if you need highchairs or other accommodations.

The Greggory is popular and often busy, so reservations are recommended and walk-ins may face waits. Guests note it can be hard to get weekend reservations and that the bar fills up quickly; on peak nights there may be a short wait or limited seating. If you're flexible, the bar is a good option for earlier seating without a full reservation.

The Greggory offers multiple seating areas: a lively bar with high tops, main dining rooms, booths, and a cozy parlor/fireplace area mentioned by guests. Several reviews refer to a back dining room and wine or chef-view areas near the open kitchen. If you prefer a specific setting, booth, parlor, bar or away from the kitchen, request it when you book and confirm with staff.

Business casual. The restaurant lists a business-casual dress code and guests commonly dine in smart-casual attire for special occasions. Dress comfortably but polished for the upscale yet welcoming environment.

Yes, guests of all ages dine here and staff are accommodating. Reviews repeatedly describe families celebrating birthdays and guests bringing children and teens; servers are noted for helping with kid needs and allergies. The layout includes booths, bar seating and multiple dining areas, so ask for a booth or a corner table for family comfort. If you need ADA accessibility or specific seating, call ahead so the team can assist.

The Greggory blends downtown-style sophistication with a warm, energetic vibe. Guests describe it as stylish, chic and inviting, perfect for celebrations, while noting that busy nights can be loud. Lighting tends to be warm and design-focused, creating an upscale yet approachable steakhouse experience. Expect a lively, upbeat atmosphere with attentive service.

Yes, the staff regularly handles special requests. Guests often note birthday celebrations, special desserts, allergy accommodations and seating preferences were arranged when mentioned at booking. To ensure your request (quiet table, birthday touch, dietary needs, accessibility) is honored, call the restaurant ahead of your visit and leave a note on your reservation.

Busiest: Friday and Saturday evenings, holiday nights (NYE, major holidays) and weekend brunches, guests report an energetic, full house. Quietest: weekday evenings (Mon–Thu) and earlier dinner seatings are generally calmer. If you prefer a low-key meal, aim for a Monday–Thursday reservation or an early dinner.

Yes, guests reference private or semi-private rooms and multiple dining areas used for celebrations. Many parties have used quieter rooms for events, though availability can vary; contact the restaurant directly to reserve private space or confirm capacity and menus for group dining.

Yes, The Greggory operates for major holidays and special nights (guests report dining there on NYE, Christmas and holiday periods). Hours may vary on holidays, and the restaurant runs special menus or events at times, so call ahead or check their website for holiday hours and reservations.

Weeknights (Mon–Thu) are the best choice for a quieter, more intimate meal; guests often say weekday visits offer the same high-quality food and service with less noise. If you want the bar energy and a bustling scene, Friday or Saturday evenings and weekend brunches deliver a lively experience.
