Is this sentence gramatically correct?

Post by emilymie »

Hi
I was wondering if this sentence is gramatically correct in this context/conversation:

"What do you think about Brian?"
"He's all right by me."

By me obviously replacing the usual "to me" n meaning like "in my opinion" right..? I'm asking bc I've seen "He/she is ok by me." a couple of times.

Yes, 'by me' is idiomatic here.
