Excellent Welsh rarebit. I highly recommend the cod with crab meat.

I love Mory's - in general. Is part of our family tradition. But they really fail when prepping for "The Game". This is their Black Friday - a day to make months worth of income. Instead this year - the Temple Bar stopped serving food around 3pm. Maybe anticipate more help in kitchen? Special bar menus with pre-prepared food? And give Vlad some extra staff that day too or else the day off. There were more people monitoring memberships at the door than working in Temple Bar. So my 2 stars is an average of 1 during HY and 4 for the others

I’m sure this is a nice place otherwise, but when your tone of voice screams “peon” with every breath, you really need to snap out of it. After watching several people peon voice all over a lady sitting on the stoop who just learned that her sister died, I’m personally over whatever Skull and Bones caché you think you’re engendering as you forget that you have no idea what other people are going through.

A very special place!

Loved visiting Mory's with Bianca & Ryan!Marie and John you are the best - so welcoming! We quickly felt like regulars. I think we visited 4 times in one week and probably ate one of everything on the menu!There were good menu choices both from the standard menu and the specials list. Every meal was wonderful. AND our visit is forever engraved on our table! Can't wait to see you again!

Charming college bar, good club food. Originally members only, but now I think non-members can also go. When I was an undergraduate, I was a regular.

Absolute must if you go to Yale

Traditional Yale meeting and eating is still a great place to eat satisfying mix of traditional and modern cruisine. The portions are generous and the prices much more affordable than similar menu items in New York City. It's also the only place I know in the U.S. that serves Welsh Rarebit the deliciously saucy old-fashioned way. Service is excellent.
I love Mory's. Been a member and a regular for years.I've had everything on the menu and never a bad meal.

I do enjoy an establishment that harkens back to eras pre-dating the modern and which prides itself on history and tradition. Mory's is such a place. Located on York Street next door to the infamous Toad's Place, Mory's occupies a house built in 1912. The main dining room features a plethora of old black-and-white photographs of Yale figureheads and classes, plus a ceiling lined with antique Yale rowing oars. Each wooden table has over 100 years' worth of people's initials (and other curiosities) carved in them, most likely made while imbibing several ales. If you're looking for ambiance, then this is your place. The food isn't bad but it's not gourmet either. Membership is required and you must be affiliated with Yale in some way (as a student, faculty member, or alum) in order to obtain membership. However, members may invite guests who are not directly affiliated with Yale, which is how I got to experience it. I enjoyed a lunch special of pomegranate and orange-glazed salmon served alongside arugula with shaved radishes and pomegranate seeds tossed in a citrus vinaigrette. It was a bit on the bland side at first, but once I sprinkled some seasoning it perked up. Again, food isn't the main attraction here. The tradition and prestige of Yale is. Mory's is, more or less, a clubhouse for Yalies.So let's go back to the ambiance from what I saw on the first floor. Besides the handsome main dining room, there is also a bar nestled inside what used to be a living room (with a fireplace) and is adorned with more Yale memorabilia. They also have an outdoor patio in nicer weather and there are several private rooms that may be rented for events. Whether history and tradition is your jam, or you're a forever Yalie, Mory's is an experience you'll want to have at least once if you have the connections.

First, it's a private club, although qualifying for membership is pretty easy and cheap. Second, the memo lacks basic food. The chef has too big a head and thinks everything needs to be unpronounceable. The place needs some basic club food: club sandwiches, fish and chips, as well as some things like lobster rolls, and simple fish not drowned in an exotic sauce. I tried the salmon a few months back, but the sauce had way too much salt making the dish inedible.
