About Lemongrass Thai Port Fairy

A stroll down Bank Street rewards hungry coastal travelers with robust, unapologetic Thai cooking. Inside the humming dining room—or outdoors under heated gazebos on brisk evenings—tables fill quickly with tender beef Massaman, aromatic roasted duck red curry, and fresh barramundi. Longtime patrons bring their own cellar bottles for an easy $8 corkage fee, though house wine pours remain exceptionally easy on the wallet. Pair a fragrant coconut rice bowl with crunchy fish cakes, or explore pan-Asian additions off the rotating chef specials board.

  • BYO Wine Friendly: Guests can bring personal wine bottles for an $8 corkage fee or order remarkably priced pours directly off the house list.
  • Rotating Chef Specials: Beyond traditional curries, the kitchen runs a chalkboard specials list featuring rotating pan-Asian dishes and seasonal desserts.
  • Heated Gazebo Dining: Heated outdoor gazebos keep guests warm during brisk coastal evenings when indoor tables pack out.

  • Accessible BYO & Beverage Value

    Guests enjoy flexibility with an accessible $8 corkage BYO policy alongside exceptionally budget-friendly house beverage choices.

    You can BYO wine too ($8 corkage) although with wine prices from the 80’s on the menu you really don’t need to bother.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it necessary to make a reservation?

Lemongrass Thai fills quickly, especially during peak seasons and weekends, so booking ahead is strongly recommended. While walk-ins are occasionally accommodated early or when space permits, guests without reservations risk being turned away or facing longer waits.

How spicy is the food?

Traditional Thai dishes carry genuine heat and pepper seasoning. If you prefer mild food or are ordering for children, be sure to request lower spice levels when placing your order.

Can you bring your own wine (BYO)?

Yes, you can bring your own wine for an $8 corkage fee, and the restaurant also offers an affordable selection of beer and wine on its drinks menu.

What should you expect when ordering takeaway?

Takeaway orders are accepted online and over the counter, but during busy dinner periods, pick-up wait times can extend 30 to 50 minutes. Planning your order in advance is advised.
