"Following its relocation to Core City, Lady of the House has made raw oysters a staple on the revamped menu. Currently, customers can enjoy raw oysters with sherry horseradish, house hot sauce, and green peppercorn mignonette. The menu is classic but exciting, with other American staples such as steak tartare, prime rib, and whole-roasted chicken on the menu. Reservations are available through Tock." - Danny Palumbo
"An elegant, Irish-inspired restaurant and two-time James Beard Award semifinalist offering refined plates and craft cocktails in an intimate dining setting." - AFAR
"The brainchild of chef Kate Williams, Lady of the House emphasizes Irish hospitality and no-waste principles. The acclaimed restaurant reemerged in Core City in October after a years-long hiatus. Fans of Williams’ creations can expect some of her hits, including shrimp butter, carrot steak, and potato doughnuts. The decor is welcoming and homey, with mismatched chinaware (donated by fans), dried floral arrangements, and, of course, for those who’ve followed the Lady from its previous Corktown location, Ryan Gosling’s face has also made a return on a dainty stool. Make reservations on Tock." - Serena Maria Daniels
"Reemerged after a years-long hiatus, this chef-driven spot emphasizes Irish hospitality and no-waste principles under the leadership of Kate Williams. Fans can expect signature hits such as shrimp butter, carrot steak, and potato doughnuts, served in a welcoming, homey dining room outfitted with mismatched chinaware and dried floral arrangements — and a dainty stool that longtime followers will recognize for its portrait of Ryan Gosling." - Serena Maria Daniels
"Lady of the House in Corktown is a restaurant inside an old auto shop that sources its ingredients from small farms in and around the city, which means the produce you eat here might come from just down the street. The rotating menu is based on what’s in season and their wide selection of beer, wine, and cocktails changes throughout the year to match the food. It’s a great place to come with a big group and just order the majority of the menu, but make sure to get the carrot steak and potato donuts if they’re available." - sara barron, sam faye
