Roslyn has great places to eat so I'm happy to count this as my newest fav in the area. Catsby's Landing has a great menu which made it really hard to decide but we went with the pre-fix lunch that offered many good options at a great value. Everything was delicious and arrived hot and quickly. Loved my grapefruit martini, too! Above all, the service is outstanding. I can't tell you how welcomed and looked after the team made us feel. Some of the nicest people in restaurant service I've encountered in a very long time. Will be coming back soon!

A great location, with valet parking. Charming interior, and wonderful, inventive food. There is usually a guitar player. It is a good idea to sit closer to the music, and away from a large table…which usually has a noisy crowd.

New winter menu started this week. It was so hard to decide what to order because there are so many good things to select from. We tried the bucatini with forest mushrooms and it was delicious. The sauce had truffle oil and parmigiana reggiano which paired perfectly with the pasta. We also had the cedar plank smoked cod in a ginger coconut broth. So yummy! Cannot wait to go back to try more of the new dishes.
