• Steakhouse • Roslyn

Booked 43 times today

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."

Fine dining establishment that knows how to do it right. When you think of fine dining on the north shore you think of a steak house. You forget about places like this. Excellent food, great atmosphere, great service.

My first but not my last visit. Food was out standing. For a small packed restaurant it was super quiet. Accustoc tiling was used to absorb the sounds. Chef and owner was delightful.

Always a good time the food is excellent. The truffle pizza is my favorite. It’s a little loud, but the atmosphere is fun so you don’t mind it so much.

All superior! Staff is attentive, friendly and professional and added to the great dining experience. We shared clams, salads and then main courses were filet mignon, ribeye and sole. All cooked to perfection and as requested. Dessert next time! We were satisfied and not ready but will return!! Thank you for a special time.

Mesita was fun and lively but the intention was to have a quiet evening and the noise level was too much . The same occurs in the other locations too. Acoustics need to be toned down. COBE here when you are just planning on a party.
