• Steakhouse • Roslyn

Bryant & Cooper opened in 1986 with big ambitions: to bring the top tier New York City "steak house experience" to Long Island. Not only would the very finest quality, hand picked prime aged steaks be served, but an ambiance would be created that makes everyone feel like they are part of a special private club. For membership...just make a reservation. Founded by the three Poll brothers with two generations of restaurant ownership experience, Gillis, Dean and George learned at an early age that the secret of a great restaurant was to start with serving the very best. That is why the steaks, chops and jumbo lobsters are selected on a daily basis, and only the freshest side dishes find their way to a plate served at Bryant & Cooper. Over the years Bryant & Cooper has received superlative reviews for its entire menu. The New York Times has proclaimed it the "best steak house on Long Island."

When we want seafood Limani is our go-to restaurant on the north shore. One of the few places you can get stone crabs by the piece (you pick it, they charge by weight) and a wide selection of fish. Excellent sides available and they are very good about exchanging one side for another if the main course is listed with a side (for example, I switched to lemon potatoes instead of Horta with my fish). The prix fixe dinner available at various times (all night Sunday and Monday) is a good deal but desserts are very limited. Service is usually excellent but this last time staff had to be reminded more than once to bring melted butter for the crab and to bring out the side order of Greek fries after everything else was served. Limani is expensive by LI standards but the quality of the food keeps us coming back.
