Had to get in my last meal here before they close the doors for good. Sad to see this establishment go. I have been here quite a few times in the last 20+ years and always pleased!

Always a favorite in Roslyn. Valet parking makes it ever so convenient. I’ve been coming here for years (pre-covid) to celebrate special occasions. Fantastic table service. Not one but three servers for my two seat party. Loved the Cherrystone clams and Shrimp Cocktail. My favorite entree is the seared scallops. Simple and perfectly cooked every time. The little details like a bread basket with three kinds of choices: onion rolls, dinner rolls and the family recipe raisin nut bread. Delicious. They also give crudites: celery sticks, carrot sticks, radishes and ranch dipping sauce.

Broiled calves liver with bacon and onions are served here, which is a rarity on the Island. However, it lacked seasoning. I had to sprinkle lots of salt on the liver and onions. Eating each piece of liver with some bacon did not improve the bland taste. The manager came around to each table, introducing himself to the diners. He explained to me that his clientele is older, and that is why the chefs lightly season food. The cocktail The Jolly Bramble was sweet but potent: gin, lemon juice, simple syrup and crème de Cassis. The alcohol was not watered down like in some other restaurants. I could not drink it all. It was that strong! I will be coming here again to try other menu selections.

It’s a good spot for seafood. The atmosphere inside is comfortable, you can get a good view of the pond if you sit by the windows. Their menu has a wide selection focused on seafood mostly. We tried the Broiled Alaskan King Crab, which was underwhelming for the price and it was way too salty. The roasted duckling was good and appealing, a bit sweet but good. The lamp chops were a bit dry for medium. The complimentary dessert and bread basket was delicious. The service was friendly but it was a little bit slow. Overall the food is it’s not bad, however the place is way to expensive for the food quality it offers.

The food is delicious and the waiting staff very attentive. Haven’t been here for over 9 years and the food tastes the same! Love the ambiance, views of the lake and the restaurant. If I wasn’t so far I’d come here more often!

Seven of us were in NY for a golf tournament. It happened to be Mother’s Day and we decided to go here for dinner. There was a bit of a wait for a table (understandable) but it was well worth it! Delicious food, excellent service. Kinda pricey but after all, it was a “holiday”.

I just had my engagement party at The Jolly Fisherman & Steak House and if I could give 100 stars I would! The day was a dream! I couldn’t of asked for a better party and experience! Bill and Derrick were an absolute pleasure to work with and they made my vision come true! The FOOD WAS DELICIOUS! Everyone raved about how good everything they ordered was! The service was amazing, the servers were on top of everything and made sure everyone of our guests had a drink in their hand and had whatever they needed. The view is so beautiful overlooking the lake. 10/10 The service, the food, the quality, the esthetic. Just perfect! Thank you again Jolly Fisherman & Steakhouse! I am one happy customer and I look forward to coming back to eat again and again!

Family-owned and operated business since 1957, that says it all. Meet some friends who live in Queens here since it was about half way.

Amazing experience in every regard. Impeccable service and food. Great ambiance on a cool Saturday in June. Nut bread was out of the world. Gorgeous Mucha in the ladies’ bathroom was a delightful surprise. According to my friend who just moved here, the food was much better than the Michelin star dinners he had in Manhattan.
