 The Marlay House is more than a restaurant: it’s a gathering place in the pub tradition and a home-away-from-home for ex-pats. Under the guidance of chef Mark Gallagher, traditional Irish comfort fare includes intriguingly spiced braised beef brisket with good mashed potatoes and crisp haricots verts. Shepherd’s pie, Irish sausages and mash, fish ‘n’ chips --- the classics of this culinary tradition --- compose the best of the menu, along with Irish breakfast at weekend brunch. Warming and filling, a stout-infused onion soup is a not-to-be-missed special. There are a few vegetarian dishes, including a veggie potpie. For dessert, get the baked apple rhubarb crumble or float a scoop of vanilla ice cream in some Guinness (adults only). There’s a wine list, but this is brew heaven, with choices that range across the globe, including many on draught as well as by the bottle. Dark woods, low lighting and intimate subspaces create an interesting atmosphere. St. Patrick’s Day is taken seriously. The Marlay House owners are the Comer clan, siblings from Dublin who wanted to create a bit of the auld sod in Atlanta. Euro football (soccer, that is) is the frequent bill of fare on the TVs.
