• 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."

    Such a great place for dinner! Third time in a month I’ve been there and it’s been fantastic each time. Their appetizers are all unbelievable. We usually get the tuna tartar, octopus, beet salad. You can’t go wrong with any of these choices. The entrees are always as fresh as can be. The bronzino is absolutely the best, I order it ever time we go and never disappointed!! Service is impeccable, the staff is always on top of things. Desserts are also amazing!! The only gripe is it would be great if it was a bigger place and they need an espresso machine!! But, this will NOT change my 5 star review. Will absolutely be back here again!!
