PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE REVIEW. Went last night for New Yeats Eve. Hostess was friendly and we were seated right away. The five course dinner was wonderful and even though they were busy and possibly short staffed, everything was great. However, while we waited for them to prepare for the second seating of dinner service, we were unlucky enough to have been seated next to the most obnoxious woman on the planet! From the moment this woman sat down with her party of 5 others, she began to bark orders to the staff, complain non stop, use profanity and send every single course that they put in front of her back to the kitchens. You name it, she complained about it. You could see the waiter was getting frustrated trying to please her but handled himself with the utmost professionalism. We were honestly appalled by her behavior and felt bad for the staff. Four other people in her party were not complaining and just wanted to eat at this point but she wouldn’t allow anything to even be placed on the table before sending it back stating they hadn’t gotten their appetizers yet. Mind you, she sent then back four times previously. We overheard her say that their meal should be free and that 75.00 per person was a travesty. She was very vocal when she kept repeating how she was too the owner of a restaurant and kept comparing what she would do to what she felt was poor service. It was right around them when she proceeded to come over to OUR table, completely uninvited and take a seat. After the initial shock wore off, we didn’t even give her a chance to speak and rally our support of her poor behavior, we promptly asked her to leave. She must have been in shock because she did not get up even after we asked her to leave several times. We proceeded to tell her she was the rudest woman we had every encountered, told her it was shameful to treat the staff as she was and that her constant complaining was ruining OUR NIGHT TOO. We pointed out that no one else in the entire restaurant had a complaint but HER! She eventually left our table to return to her own. I must say after that, she never complained in front of us again so hopefully the staff got a break from her after that. It wasn’t until this morning that we realized this was the owner of a small place in surf city that we went to once and that hers was the restaurant she kept comparing to Gregory’s. We had gone there once and while the food wasn’t bad, her demeanor was off putting. She was not nice her her own staff and you could see their embarrassment and frustration. She was intrusive, coming over to the table many, many times throughout the night. I understand one or twice but this lady circles the room like a shark not allowing you to enjoy your meal much less each other’s company. We found it annoying and didn’t return. How awful that a fellow owner, understanding of how service can be on a very busy night, could be so rude. We will NEVER patronize her restaurant again. We will however go back to Gregory’s again and again. Keep up the good work!

Absolutely incredible! You have to try this place! We loved it! John and Alex, our servers, were great. Don't miss it when you're on the island.

Excellent meal from the salads through the entrees to the dessert . Service was a bit slow at times but enabled us to spend a fair amount of time sharing summer memories with our friends. An awesome dinner & evening.

We just walked in. I would recommend a reservation though. Everyone was very pleasant. Food was delicious. Higher end. I would highly recommend.

Small place cool lighting. I watched one of the owners personally go over to each table and make sure everything was satisfactory and bring food and drinks out himself. The fra diavolo (or seafood bunk house as I call it) was amazing and filling. Great experience will go back again.

Have been a few times and each time my meal is outstanding. They have weekly specials including surf and turf specials. I would recommend to anyone and will be sure to come back.

My husband and I had dinner at Gregory’s last evening. We were greeted by a very nice hostess and seated promptly. Our dinner started with an amazing eggplant stack, followed by an absolutely delicious bone-in chicken parmigiana and paella. Our server was great and I would highly recommend making a reservation.
The food was great but it seemed to be more expensive then when we ate there last year. I actually had sticker shock when the bill came.

Gregorys is a gem on Long Beach island ——We have been wanting to go there for a year and finally did and were we surprised! Most of the restaurants on the island serve mediocre food and portions and are over priced! Gregorys pays attention to detail and its customers. Lobster salad is awesome as well as the cod dish and pasta dishes We had a peach crisp for dessert which was the best dessert Ive ever had on LBI— The wait staff is friendly and eager to please. The owner came to the table to offer extra ricotta cheese for the pappardelle and to introduce himself! Definitely will return too Gregory’s!
