• Steakhouse • Roslyn

Booked 48 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."

Welcome to Foster, we look forward to serving you soon!Highly SeasonalWhile our menu will change over with each passing season, we also continue to source the freshest ingredients from local farms to help inspire daily specials. Our goal is to give you the best tasting dishes, the easiest way to do that is to start with what’s in season.Nose to Tail, Root to LeafWe believe every part of the plant and animal can and should be used in the process making food. Whether it’s used as a component in making stocks/sauces, as the main ingredient of the dish, or as a garnish, our goal is to use 100% of the entire plant/animal we purchase. The goal is less waste and responsible consumerism.Return to CookingWith our wood fired oven and wood fired grill we are returning to the origins of cooking: cooking over fire. Here at Foster, we combine fresh ingredients, classic technique, and an open flame to serve you a meal that’s simply elegant.

From the pate and warm French bread that comes right away, to the drinks and amazing food that arrives thanks to the reasonably quick and diligent service , a trip to P'tit Framboise is like going to Paris (or Belgium, esp. due to the beer!). Their Monday Mussels is amazing, and their daily specials are all great. The Onion Soup is PERFECT.

It's not fancy and the tablet ordering is a little annoying, but the food is outstanding and the servers are very nice. Definitely my favorite Chinese restaurant on Long Island - the soup dumplings are delicious, as is everything we have tried so far. Looking forward to returning!
