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."

    Exceptional Dining Experience at The Capital Grille I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Capital Grille, and it was an experience worth every star. From the moment we walked in, the service was impeccable. The staff was warm, attentive, and truly made us feel like valued guests. The atmosphere was elegant yet welcoming, setting the perfect tone for a special evening. As for the food—it was nothing short of extraordinary. The steaks were cooked to perfection, tender and flavorful, while the sides and appetizers were equally impressive. Each dish was beautifully presented and tasted as good as it looked. Our server went above and beyond to ensure everything was to our liking, offering excellent recommendations and making sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. The attention to detail and professionalism of the entire team were outstanding. If you’re looking for a top-notch dining experience with five-star service, The Capital Grille is the place to go. Highly recommended! Ejaz Ahmed

    We loved this restaurant. This was a new find for us - one town over from where we live. Being Italian it's hard to find Italian food that I like since I am used to fresh ingredients at home. The foundation sauce in this Italian Restaurant is delicious. The variations of the vodka and spicy sauces are tasty, as well. The personal pizza was big enough for two if you have an app, but we ordered it to try and have some leftovers. We loved the igloo, but honestly the inside of the restaurant was just as cute and festive. Our server, Irene, was super helpful and quick but the food was still spaced enough where we could enjoy it. The garlic knots were huge and tasted great. I am still shocked that I had never gone to this establishment before, but so glad we found it.
