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."

Enjoyed dinner in the bar room with 6 of us. Food, ambiance and service were great. It was a Monday night and still very busy. Highly recommend Thai mussels, butternut squash soup (special) and eggplant chips for apps. Main dish was a snapper special and was very good. Overall great evening.

Love the cheeseburger, even if the brioche roll disintegrates pretty fast, and tomato slice is tasteless. Great sauce, though. Fries could have been fresher, as in, just out of the fryer. Cocktails teeny but tasty. Love the hot fudge sundae!

The pasta making was fun. We had great company next to us and since we were traveling we gave them our pasta. The portions of each course of the meal are huge! Don’t order the same as your partner. Try different things and share! We love Aunt Jake’s. This was our 4th time to dine with them, first time making pasta!
